The Secret World

http://www.thesecretworld.com/news/game_director_joel_bylos_reveals_his_plans_for_the_secret_world

So I usually only bump this thread with issue updates... but I figured this was important enough.


Why do the devs, designers and GM's have to be so..... human.... God I love these guys.

Chainsaw, reticule(free) targeting, 'puzzle raids'(… and there you go, tumbling down the rabbit hole.), more defined faction conflict... man this game is awesome.. only thing keeping me from jumping into it full time is my computer and internet connection... which should be fixed next month.

Halloween event is up and running! Dimensional phasing cat FTW!

Based on the last 5 or so posts, this seems to be an 'All alone' thread now.

your point? If the 'views' at least goes up, i am serving my purpose! The game is good.. worth posting updates.

Primary issue is you get to the 'end game' to quick. Other than that its great.

I'd give it a whirl if it wasn't 50 bucks or p2p

cinematics were awesome

but the gameplay...yeah, it looked like I saw this before. D:

Problem solved

15 bucks on Amazon or 20 on Steam.

Subscription Dropped.

Issue 4 and 5 have been released since I last posted(Been busy playing forgot to post)

Lots of good stuff to post though

So the Templar won the Halloween event.. it means they have cats all over there HQ.. I suspect they are actually spies..

Issue 4 got released

The games first raid, Raids are 10 people.

Takes place in New York, end game content

Chainsaw released, helps with tanking.

Updates to PvP

Albion Theatre(A place for you to let your RP hearts loose)

And added a reticule system to combat

Our Christmas event was not a christmas event.. It was about December 21st. We had a big ARG .. it was pretty epic. and in game there is a competition going until the 7th based on the Mayans.

Our game director is petty cool.. he put together a 3 piece video log about him preparing for the end of the world.. important info? The game..IS NO LONGER PAY TO PLAY. its more like guildwars system now.

Issue 5 is out

Quantum Brace released.. a Aux that is useful for many things to include healing.

Tyler Freeborn, a set of missions that go together instead of being spread out like before. Pretty epic story.

also.. more updates to PvP

Things to note. The game can be bought for $20 and has no subscription.. the game has been pretty packed.. something tells me they will be opening more dimensions soon.

Remember: The game uses Single Server Technology. you can join on any dimension and play with friends on a different dimension. Also Cabals can be multi faction so you can play with friends of differing factions as well.

hope to see you there!

I've been trying it out and enjoying what i've played so far

It's a neat game. I wish I had more time for it.

Yep, and as much as alot of us didnt want it to go Free to play..
I think they did the right thing.

Although peeps are calling it Buy to Play (GW model)

I dont see any reason to not to have wanted the subscription cut. The cash shop's always been there, it was just double dipping (triple dipping if you count the price for entry)

Theres a certain .. expectation from F2P games but it seems to have been the right choice so far

Ungodly necrobump again after reviewing the whole thread. My best friend recently started playing this and at first I was like meh. The CS's and voice acting are really top quality but the game play seemed very boring at first glance.

The game went on sale for 15$ and I've been bored so I said screw it to play with him. I've been playing for about 3 weeks now and I completely stopped even logging into FFXI because of this game lol.

It's not what you would ever think of on paper or by watching videos or reading about. The missions are incredibly engaging... so much so that I don't think I've ever played a game that challenges your problem solving skills. By far the hardest puzzles to solve without a guide.

The entire horror/zombie/apocalypse atmosphere is beyond amazing. I was hooked when I went to the abandoned amusement park and delt with that whole boogie man ***... Jesus Christ that was freaky even for me.... and I'm not creeped out easily thanks to 4chan.



Yeah.... it can get creepier than that lol. Especially when your in a quiet area investigating something and some ***suddenly starts groaning/moaning/screeching out of nowhere.

My hat goes completely off to whoever did the voice acting and sound effects. Jesus... mother... of god...

Also a great game to try for Halloween time :o
