Also worth remembering that you can click on your map to leave your own markers. Due to the nature of certain puzzles, this is probably worth doing if you happen across something interesting.
EDIT: it appears that custom chat channels are in (as detailed in the above guide) so we can create a PA channel with the usual password. I haven't played AO so I don't know if channels stay alive when no one is online, hope so though.
Yeah but a bit slow ~ 2MB/s. So patch up before all the unwashed masses find out that the can play it in a couple hours.
So finally set. Against my better judgement I will join the force and start today. Game is playable and enjoyable but still could need way more polish.
The "updated char creator" is scheduled for the end of August, same time when GW2 starts. :P
Templar with a shotgun/hammer build with a few dips into blood/pistol/sword/ar for passives or for a shotgun/claw build to solo lairs........
Yet another little touch I enjoy about TSW is that the NPCs reference real world things instead of made up mumbo-jumbo.
I remember one pair of NPCs in particular. A dude made a Star Trek reference and his partner calls him out on it. Though it seemed (at least to me) that the guy only knew what the phrase meant and was unaware of its relation to Star Trek. :P
The best part about that exchange is that I'm pretty sure the actor that made the Star Trek reference is Tuvok.

Maybe someone here has any idea what I am doing wrong when trying to install the game.
I am trying to install the client to my laptop, installation on my desktop PC was just fine.
However, after downloading the executable setup.exe and running it, the launcher directly crashes with the notification "The Secret World has stopped working".
I used the same setup.exe yesterday on my desktop without issues.
At first I thought this might be because of server downtime, but servers are up again and I can patch on my other PC, it is just the laptop where nothing goes.
I have uninstalled and redownloaded the setup.exe, I have deactivated antispyware/virus, I have started the executable as admin, I have switched install drives, because I thought maybe the client does not like SSD for some reason, I have the latest graphic card drivers and the system is new, machine is only 2 weeks old. I have installed a ton of games from my Steam account over the past 2 weeks and never had any issues. I have installed and played other online games(WoW, TF2, Day Z, D3) on this machine and never had any connection/lag/ping issues.
But for some reason the Secret World launcher fails all the time.
Any ideas?

Ok, I know the servers aren't up yet, but should it be saying "Authentication Failure. Please note that passwords are case sensitive." when I hit the "Login" button? Just worries me a little.
Also, when setting the Graphic Options to Ultra, it turns off Tessellation and Motion Blur. From reading, Tessellation seems like something I'd want on?
I'll be on bright and early, but then I have to go talk to my motorcycle mechanic at 11ish. Hopefully that won't take long.

I get the same thing when trying to log on. Goto the games website and just make sure you can login there, it uses the same password as your main funcom account.
Tessellation is for extreme graphic whores, you literally need a still screenshot of a side by side comparison to really see the difference. I have a really beefy computer that I constantly upgrade, it can handle tessellation and max settings just fine... but I find it pointless so leave it off. Google it and goto images, you'll see a lot of dues ex screenshots where its compared... im simple terms it rounds off and smoothes out the edges of polygons.
Motion blur is a person preference thing.... I find it annoying as hell.
This isn't in any way accusing the gameplay, but Funcom's web team and account management teams are possibly the least capable humans on the planet. I wouldn't be worried about a login rejection, it's probably just their total lack of competence in that department.
Ya, my beta account is different from my actual game one... just because they made it to unclear for me to feel ok purchasing it while logged into my beta account... it gives a "create new account" thing when purchasing from my beta account login, which is stupid as shit 99% of the sites out there would have something like "upgrade to retail" or "already have account checkbox". Their site has always been a trainwreck for their other MMOs anyway.l

Word. I was in the early entry for AGE OF CONAN, and that was an absolute disaster on Funcom's part, which should have warned us about what to expect in the actual game...
Patching servers are up and I'm loading smoothly so far. If you're starting from scratch it's a 14.4 gig download.

Ivy Bridge 3770k and a Nvidia 670 here. I think I can handle it. Tessellation "ON" it is!
"Ultra" settings also turns FXAA to normal instead of HQ.
OH. I get "Unable to connect to the authentication server" now when clicking Login. Progress!
Esh on

Loading and patching completed, took about an hour. I'm also receiving the authentication failure, which I assume is Funcom's way of telling me to wait 90 minutes.

Oh... hmmm. Not letting me in.
Did you get an email or anything? And i assume the login is the one specific to the secret world in our funcom account, or is it the funcom account itself?

I'd also like to know this. I really warmed on the game after reading this thread (after having previously been burned by AoC and swearing off Funcom). I just got the basic game, though.

Ive seen a few people on their forums say they are in and they pre-ordered a week ago.
So I dunno... seems just random as fuck right now.
Just a video game, but I am curious as to the logic behind who gets in and who doesn't right now. Some who have paid $199 for lifetime can't login yet even. So I dunno, weird.
Welp. They haven't yet fixed the "DX11 breaks the HUD" thing.
What does it break?
I just hope the weird issue I had where it was VERY hard to interact with icons in the world (like quest icons, or picking up objects) is fixed.
