**The Secret World**

Thanks to the trial key kmufc77 sent me, I was able to give this a blast yesterday.

Obviously I wasn't able to do *that* much in 24 hours, but what I did do I really enjoyed. Unusually for an mmorpg it feels fresh. It's also a little confusing, even for an old vet like me, but sooner or later I'll get the hang of the skill searcher :P

So I think I might well pick this up, it's a lot of fun.

Really enjoying this so far, slightly annoying at the moment though as Dimension 7 has got a load of bugged quests. That's to be expected to some degree though this early on.

I have maxed our all the inner wheel (Melee, Range and Magic) no need to decide on a role :)
 
Isnt the secret world meant to be all instanced? Cant imagine enjoying an mmo that closed off after wow has led the way to a fully open mmo.
 
I had a good go with this on Saturday night and it has improved a lot since Beta. I actually had a lot of fun! I still think I’m playing APB Reloaded when I play this game though, don’t ask me why but I do haha. :D

I grouped up with a mate and that made a huge difference, we blitzed through loads of quests together and it was fun playing with somebody. Performance wise, I had no issues at all, everything on max. I was getting 60+ fps. Graphics are good, story and cut scenes are very well done( not as good as SWTOR ;))

The Decks are very well done and you have plenty of choice, so something for everybody. I was a little disappointed that the 3 factions didn’t have different start areas. I played as a Templar at Beta and choose Dragon on Saturday.

Didn’t try pvp and didn’t try the first dungeon.
 
Put about 7 hours in yesterday using my buddy key and really enjoyed it. I'll probably grab a retail key for 30 days towards the end of next month, or around Christmas when I've got some time off work. :)

There's the odd instanced section which is usually to develop the story / quest and obviously the dungeons, but it's all open after that.
 
Guys, any of you on Daemon server ? I don't know anybody in this game which makes it less fun.
I'm having mixed feelings about it; looks good and not very easy to figure out things in the beginning (AP&SP), which is good, challenging... but something just doesn't click! It feels very single player, even if you see other people running around. I wonder how big/large the game is (terrain-wise); and if there's any mounts in it.
One thing definitely bugs me - my character is mute ! Really ?! All that funny chit-chat and I don't even say a word... just sitting there listening to a very interesting story while I have a dumb-cow-almost-retarded look on my face. Niiice!

I keep comparing it to Anarchy Online... anyone else ?

What card / res are you using as I'm finding performance shocking with a gtx680 at 1920/1200?

I've found a bugged quest... black house near the fair ground bit... the woman's ashes never appear after I find the grave - lol

Apparently that one isn't bugged in every dimension (server), you can ask in general chat to be invited to another one and give it a go.

That bug happened for me, and also on the last tier of Dead Air (after spending ages trying to decode that bloody morse) the crate was invisible for me. This is my only gripe with the game so far, because you can only have one main quest at a time, you have to abandon the whole thing if it's bugged, you can't just go and do another quest.

It also depends on DX version - apparently DX9 runs fluidly, but there are a lot of people having trouble with DX11

It's silly because I see the GPU utilisation only sitting around 40-50% for both GPUs... that's with no vsync and prefer maximum performance set in nvidia CP

Yeah - I had the same with Dead Air too... but, I discovered you could click in the water where the crate originally dropped & it still worked
