The Secret World: 1 year, 2 months ago · ViewGDC is underway and The Secret World should be getting a lot of coverage this time. Not only with new official footage but with the press allowed to film presentations and playthrougs this time it should provide the first thorough look at how this game is. Press Embargo lifts on the tenth.
Nearly half an hour worth of gameplay is up here; http://www.tentonhammer.com/tsw/gdc11/gdc2011-videos
Lot’s of exciting stuff if you ask me, but I’ll let those interested make your own minds up.
New site and trailer is also available now: http://www.thesecretworld.com/media

Seems the anticipated spring release is pushed back to the other half of next year. Best case puts the game half a year out. Worst case we’ll have to wait closer to a year more, if not all the way into 2012… *grumbles*Not seen any official words on the forums yet, so might as well take that news with a pinch of salt for now :)
Well, considering no official release window has been set in stone at all.. I suppose the spring release is to be taken with just as large a pinch of salt is this statement at least. :P Bottom line is the estimate now ranges from Q2 -> Q4 2011, hopefully not falling through to 2012.
Ah rite, I wonder what this is all about – bad criticism or just high ambitions, let us hope it is the latter. :)
Actually.. I remember they first announced the game ”tentative” release as ”Spring 2011” while now it is just ”2011” that would indeed mean a push into later year release.

The Secret World: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewHas anyone following The Secret World been toying with any guild ideas? Mostly just curious to hear if someone is sitting on anything cool.
I’ve heard almost nothing to be honest. Jova? :)
Not really, just characters. Personally I’m aiming for Templar and I know Mib is going Illuminati. Getting a cabal together would require some of us choosing the same faction and I don’t know where everyone stands in that question? The game doesn’t even have an announced release yet so I personally haven’t given cabals much thought.
Yeah, I guess we’d be bound to end up evenly split across factions the way things are panning out. Different people will find different factions more appealing, seeing as there is no good or bad guys as such. Though I have been thinking a bit on occasion, I don’t really have any stellar ideas yet myself either, thus my checking around here. ;)
Need more info about the game in general and the factions specifically. Right now there’s just the general idea of the factions that’s available but how are they organized? What do they really want? Who are the members and why? For example, if I’m a Dragon I wouldn’t know what to do because I don’t know what their agenda is.
I’d argue their ideologies are plenty clear enough to work of, the blanks are easy enough to fill in later. One example was an idea the streaked my mind of how a group of Templars could be opposed to and working against the ”kill and burn all, ask questions later” attitude of the faction. But personally I’m not so sure I want something that could be mired in faction politics, and much rather fancy playing of the pulp adventure aspects of the setting, where base ideas don’t need to rely so heavily on faction, but rather just complements them.
See, there I don’t think you got the Templar mentality right. I don’t think they’re like that. Yes, they are militaristic and have been fighting the darkness far longer than any of the factions. They are uncompromising when it comes to getting the job done, but they aren’t mindless crusaders who doesn’t care if 1000 civilians fall victim to an attack on a demon. They are sophisticated and bound in old traditions of honor. The reason they view themselves as ”THE war on evil” is their long tradition of fighting it. That’s my take. :) But it goes to show that there are blanks to fill in and I don’t like to fill those kinds of blanks in a later stage when things are already established.
Yeah, thats my bad. Probably spent to much time around the forums to separate discussion from known fact. But internal movement to change the Templar from its ”old and often uncompromising ways” is still very real. This discussion has gone a bit of trail though, I was just curious if people had thought of something fun. As I mentioned in my last post I’m not really to concerned about the faction details when thinking of how I wish to experience TSW. I remember seeing some of the early concept, the guys looking out across a valley full of dinosaurs and thought, ”I want to play that”. Something in the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle’s ”The Lost World”, Lovecraft’s ”At the mountain of madness”, even Indiana Jones. This has has my thoughts trailing in the direction of setting up something along of the lines of an expeditionary team, boldly venturing into the uncharted parts of the world to uncover and seize its secrets before anyone else can. Proper pulp adventure stuff. :)
:) It will be interesting to see what Agartha is like.
I guess a cabal could be playing as a frontier group of a faction, specialized at Agartha exploring and venturing. Would mean alot of PvP as well going in that direction, but it’s plausible and could be a fun idea.True, Agartha is one of those things its hard to plan towards yet, as we don’t know how it acts out in its entirety and if much roleplay is plausible there. But it still looks like there are plenty of remote places on the surface to explore as well. ;)

True or false?
if it is, we are in some deep shit…Ah yes this was discussed about at the forums. It seems it is someone who is angry. But you never ever know…
The blog post mostly concerns Warhammer Online and just mentions TOR briefly. I don’t put any weight into it, don’t see it as any trouble at all.

Good read! I am still very wondering how this will look like for real when released. They did say that mass effect was some kind of experimental platform for this, have you heard any of this?
I do like the sound of those ”extra grindy quests” you can pick up for missions, to shoot XX enemies or something like that. It’s nice that it’s a choice you can make, depending on if you have time and if you’re in the mood for it.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewI really want to know more about the trooper… Cause When I look at the bounty hunter and the trooper,
Bountry hunter looks so more fun to play, and seem to have way more gadgets…
What is that Trooper have? =/ Just thought about that last night.
I dunno, personally I like watching troopers compared to bounty hunters. Rather than the flexible combat approach the BH employ the trooper seems to carry heavier weaponry, armor and explosives. The Vanguard trooper is designed to be a tank apparently with the Commando acting as ranged DPS. Still, I’ve found it hard to get more info myself.
The Trooper is more of a soldier, it’s natural that a Bounty Hunter has more gadgets and stuff, they need to be flexible.
A Trooper takes out the big guns and pounds his enemies with them, while having the armor to stay in the fight.
