I may or may not stick with TSW. If it turns my PC into a smoking brick then obviously I'll bail.

Good thing.... I would hate to read what your infinite wisdom would be if you WERE trying to be a jerk.

In my case, yes, I have cut scene bombed that scene.. twice.. both times I had died and just made it back into the compound right before it started.
I actually think that during that part of the trial, I would have been better off staying outside and waiting for the cut scene considering the amount of times I would die because all you uber tanks ran off and left the squishies to fend for themselves.

I emailed one of my friends to ask if he read this list and he told me he did and found it interesting. He related a story that in game that night, someone came into chat b!tching up a storm that he was labeled as a whiner by SHamster. Every new person that came into the channel was informed by him about what SHamster did... my friend thought 'Dude, you're proving his point...'

I feel very lucky.. I came away unscathed... Some of the notes are hysterical and just re-enforce why you either like him or hate him.. and sometimes both

Quote:That thought will now make me enjoy fighting them moreOriginally Posted by Slaunyeh
And while I realize it doesn't actually do anything, I really enjoy making them charge into walls and trees.
There really should be a minor stun when they do that... it would be funny to watch those mouse-moth things wobble a little as they regain their senses. -
Quote:Ak'ab are very easy to fight if you stand with your back to a tree, wall, etc. It totally negates their charge attack.Originally Posted by Sophia Llriandri
Yeh, I've encountered a lot more than zombies, but zombies are the most ubiquitous. Followed by Ak'abs and Draugr. None of which I can stand >_>. I miss being able to skip mobs.

Quote:There are lots of other cool nasties out there waiting for you... but Solomon Isle isn't just Zombies. There's this huge squid like thing that has had all of it's tentacles chopped off... there's animated salvage monsters.. and things in the woods that run on all fours... very creepy!Originally Posted by Sophia Llriandri
Also, I'm still on the Solomon Island, currently Blue Mountain area. The place seems to drag on for an age. Please tell me that once you leave the Solomon Isle there won't be any more zombies, at least?
And just wait for the Ak'abs.. they look like a cross between mice and moths.. and they're particularly nasty. -

I'd like that, too, but I thought that not having one isn't that bad either from an 'RP' standpoint. My main is a Lumie and I have a great cabal. If I decide to play either my Templar or Dragon, I won't feel like I am cheating on my fellow Lumies because they can't see I am playing for the other team(s).
But then again, I've been playing for the other team all my life. -
Wow... The river and the waterfall pics are the best. I love the picture of Hami on the waterfall ledge with no one else in the shot. Makes me think of Evita Peron for some reason.

Quote:I feel this way as well. I log in every now and then to see if friends are on, but I don't play. I do know I will be spending the last night in game until it gets shut off, but for now, I just have another game I am playing that I am making progress in.Originally Posted by Super Firebug
My confession is that I'm not interested in the remaining days of the game.
...
I just [get] no joy from being in-game. My mind keeps saying, "You know, you have other things to do that won't vaporize in a few weeks." Does anyone else experience this?
It's sad because I REALLY wanted to see my nature character get the high level powers, but I just have no desire to work that hard for it knowing it's for naught. -
I've tried both on PC... DCUO when it first came out and CO just recently to see if it was worth anything...
DCUO was throwing $60 down the toilet... thankfully CO was a free trial.
DCUO gets a 10 for visuals, but a 2.5 maybe a 3 for game play. Movement was a nightmare. Torturous doesn't even begin to describe anything but running. Forced PvP - just no. It is SO easy to get lost in that game. I had to go to the space station and never was able to leave. Every character's power tree is the same.. just a different name/visual for the powers. I lasted about 2 weeks.
CO just plain sucks. Everything about it sucks. For me, it doesn't even rate a 2. Movement - awful, game play - awful, graphics - abysmal, missions - dreadful. I lasted 2 days.
I knew, going in, that neither game was CoX and I wasn't expecting them to be... but even knowing that, they're still horrid.
I went to The Secret World. Left the comic book/superhero world behind. -
Quote:Confession... after teaming with Shamster one night, he pi**ed me off so badly that for months, whenever I teamed with him again, I would never heal or buff him. I secretly enjoyed watching him faceplant when he did.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
These words make me shudder.
You've clearly never had to put up with Shamster, regardless of AT. He plays them all the same way. He can get aggro with mindless button smashing after he's run off to large groups away from the team; if he isn't insta-gibbed (which he generally is), he'll limply bring them back to the group and either die anyway or suck down all inspirs he has to repeat the same mindlessness. But retaining aggro / taking aggro is not his forte (4Chan linking takes that spot). And he primarily teams. -
Quote:Right... I worded it wrong.. I meant as soon as control is passed back to you (meaning you are able to pick up the gun, not that you had to). I thought when I had done it, I couldn't move for a few seconds due to the cut scene.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
You don't have to pick up the gun, just leave by the stairs (click on the gate).

Has to be something I was told and wished I had seen it. I was at the after hours dance party at Comic Con talk to Blue Steel about the game. He related a story about a bug they once had that is too funny not to share.
It appears that there was a mission where you were supposed to save a hostage. However, the hostage turned out to be a filing cabinet. When you saved it, the filing cabinet thanked you and then ran away.
(He related another story that I did get to experience.. It was the desk of 10,000 hp. It took FOREVER to destroy.) -
Quote:There's a note flashed on the screen when the cutscene first starts.. it's VERY easy to miss.Originally Posted by Mr_Morbid
It's skippable? Why did no one tell me earlier??????
As soon as you are able to pick up the gun, you can turn around and walk up the stairs and leave the whole thing. -
Quote:Did you try turning around and going up the steps? That's how you skip the mission when it first starts...Originally Posted by Tyger42
Hard lesson learned: Logging out in the middle of the tutorial mission in the subway is BAD. Sends you back to the beginning. With the mission active. But the gate closed. Can't advance the script to open it again because you can't reset the mission.

Quote:Just wait until you get to the Motel on the Savage Coast and choose the Hell and Bach mission.. not only is it a b*tch to solve, the first puzzle is bugged and you have to enter the answer a bajillion times for it to register.Originally Posted by Ironblade
I must say, though, the investigation/puzzle missions are amazing. Really REALLY difficult, but so logical and well thought-out that you can still solve them. You just need to work for it. We did one mission where you hear a Morse Code transmission and have to decipher it. Yikes. FYI, I solved that by recording the audio and loading it into an editing program so I could actually see the waveform and read off the dots and dashes. This ended up being faster than my brother replaying the signal and getting each letter by ear one at a time. You really need to think outside the box for these puzzles.
But the puzzles ARE clever and well thought out... all I can say is thank the stars for Google..... -

It seems that the devs at TSW are saying that the inclusion of solo only instances was a mistake.
Having just finished the Illuminati library solo mission (with multiple deaths courtesy of the Archivist) I can agree with this -
Quote:This is going to sound really 'newb' but it was something I didn't think of until a few nights ago. I was having slow downs and freezes, too. If I had to alt tab to another window, when I came back, my monitor wouldn't work. (I am on a laptop). Then I did something that just made me face palm that I didn't think of it earlier:Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
Got a chance to briefly check on this last night. I had already switched to DX9, but taking the veg and shad down to .2 each was amazing. I didn't get to stay in long but I had been getting frame rates of 12 - 15 with occasional bouts of 1 or just frozen. Last night for the bit of time I had to check I was getting framerates of 29 - 32 with the occasional slowdown to 15. I'll have to give this a longer term run and maybe I can bump one or the other up a notch but thank you very much for the specific slider adjustments that I had missed.
I do like TSW and what was keeping me from enjoying it was the bad framerates and lockups in combat.
Under video settings, I changed the resolution to match my desktop. I haven't had an issue since then... and the game looks AMAZING! I have more real estate on my game screen, too... the only down side is the chat font, even at it's large setting.. is still tiny. -
I just joined up on Wednesday and I already have a cabal on Daemon. Last night, the leader and his wife took myself and another new player through Polaris. It was REALLY cool.
I had no problem finding a cabal using the cabal section of the forums and doing a little research. My cabal is Death Incarnate Inc and they're very friendly and willing to help. I haven't asked for help because I am enjoying the soloing aspect of the game.
I just hit the savage coast after about a week plus of playing. I am taking my time. There really is some awesome writing in the game. I am and am not looking forward to the dead amusement park.
I was having some tech issues with the game as I am on a 2 year old laptop, but I dropped the directx from 11 to 9 and my graphics to mid level and things are much better.
BTW, they some AWESOME emotes... try /tapdance /snapsnaphoney /runningman and /cartwheel
