In other news from The Secret World, there is a small Q&A with the lead system designer Mags. The answered questions were selected from submissions by the community.

Brightmoon - If you could get a do-over on any existing system, what would it be and how would you change it?  If I could get a do-over on any existing system, it'd have to be the Ability Wheel. There are a lot of good points about the Ability Wheel, but there are a few things I'd like to improve even more. One such thing is improving weapon identity and diversity. To take one small example, currently you don't have to look far to find both AoE and single target abilities in any weapon. If, for example, Hammers only had columns and AoEs and Blades only had powerful single target attacks, you'd know that as a melee character Hammers is where you go if you need to take down packs of enemies and Blades is better for taking down bosses and tough monsters. The flip side of this coin, and the reason the game is how it is, is that players have a lot more freedom in making the build they want with the weapons they want.
