    My build-fu is weak today. Any comments on this? Proposed pistol build.

    Holy survivability batman?

    You've got the self heals, cleansing, all built around zee crits. What are you doing as far as talismans? High crit with some health?

    You think that's great, check out my current soloing build. The only downside is that it's heavily reliant on affliction, and I'm trying to get away from that.

    For soloing I use a mix of talismans. My head talisman is tank (HP with phys/mag protection). Then I have on at least two healing talismans, and the rest are for DPS. I have a set that's mostly +crit glyphed (for my DPS and healing) so I use those.

    I'm hoping at least some of the new peole checking it out now due to the lack of sub stick around.

    I have less hope that many of the previous players will return, but maybe.

    Good to know. Apparently the screwjob the devs got in the media hit them harder than I realized?

    Last I heard TSW was profitable even remaining on subscriptions, but long term staff reductions would be inevitable. They preferred not to go that route, so they changed models.

    Where was the Polaris discussion had? Tried to whisper Echo in game but never heard back.

    What is this I don't even.
  • TransporterTransporter Registered User regular
    So two questions.

    One. Where is the goddamn Barber.

    Two. Are the new hair options available at character creation? Because I need to remake my templar character something fierce, but I don't want to loose it's spot on Arcadia if I just have to deal.

    Oh, lastly, is Blades/Chaos still a thing for tanking? I still want to finish off my MA deck, geared in mostly QL 4-5 stuff(With a smattering of some of the ridiculous good QL3 polaris stuff.)

  • TransporterTransporter Registered User regular
    Last last thing.

    Who has Dragon Cabal invites again? I might be still in it, I can't remember if I joined or not.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    Keep forgetting I need to do a forum search for the head of WANG so I can see if they'd be willing to hand over the cabal, or at least promote me so I can fuck with the roster.

    Sorry, must have missed that, I have a separate chat window for just the PA chat.

    It's "/chat join PA Wang" to join it.

    You can create a file to have it autojoin, and I suggest it, buuut...

    It's been so long I don't remember how, and I'm not at my desk to check mine.

    I believe this is it?
    Creating Auto Login

    Find your Secret World install directory, this is typically “C:\Program Files\Funcom\The Secret World”.
    If you do not already have a scripts directory, create one aka “Scripts”.
    Inside the “C:\Program Files\Funcom\The Secret World\Scripts” directory, create two new files: “auto_login” and “auto_teleport” with no extensions.
    Edit each file so that it contains the following line:

    /chat join PA Wang



    edit- What the heck does "wanted" mean? And why does the forum keep displaying creepy messages? Am I a witch?!

    Turns out @Triple B is the leader of the Illuminati cabal, shot him a PM to see what his plans are, or if I could get administrative access to the cabal at least.

    So question on the cross server/faction grouping. Is this only for dungeons, or can I get supermagically transported from my old server (Leviathan, I think) to Arcadia for general grouping?

    Any kind of group so long as it's not PvP. So yes, you can do this for general questing/shenanigans.

    Thanks! Also thanks Decom!

    I can be on if anyone needs to get into The Six Mouths. Anyone playing at the moment?

  • chrisnlchrisnl Registered User regular
    I'm definitely enjoying the game so far, though I've been trashed a few times by enemies. The quests are sometimes challenging, and I like the storyline. Very different to play a modern horror game instead of a sword and sorcery MMO. The dungeon run we did was interesting.

    I made one of each faction, so I could go for a Six Mouths invite.

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding

    Yeah, sorry. :)

    Man- I am having some horrible lag with TSW at the moment. Anyone else having this issue?

  • chrisnlchrisnl Registered User regular
    I had some bad lag for a while earlier tonight. It never really cleared up fully for me, and got me killed a couple times. Hopefully it is not a recurring problem.

    Bawgawd, @Maddoc. I didn't even remember I was the leader. >.>

    Couple of things:

    1) I've gotten a new rig since I played this, so I don't have it installed anymore. 2) I have no idea what my password was. When I figure out how I want to deal with this, I'll let you know.

    Edit: Okay, I've recovered my password, now there's the issue of not having the game installed. I feel like I'd have to be out of my mind to download 15 gigs just to log in for 5 seconds and quit a guild...is there another way?

    Was looking into it and hoping something could be done from the Chronicle site or something, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of out of game cabal control.

    I would expect at least a few other people have invite powers. There are like, 5 people in the Dragon cabal with invite powers (I'm one of them).

    Just did the Investigation mission in Kingsmouth called "Men In Black Coats", and then I got the Illuminati faction mission "Into Darkness" and did that.

    This is seriously the best MMORPG ever made.

    So is it true that EA is buying Funcom? Are they gonna shut TSW down? Seems like something they'd do so that their own acquisition doesn't compete with SWTOR.
