Can you imagine how well a "hat pack" would sell on their store?

Chat issues Broken quests, sadly, usually the really fun ones. The Big Terrible Picture Tier 3 in Egypt. You have to move these light beams to hit a certain spot and 1) They're bugged all to hell and 2) just when you almost have it some random idiot will run up and completely ignoring your says and tells will start jacking with the beams.

Have you learned nothing from Valve, Funcom?

This is probably my only peeve as well, the public-space quests specifically designed for solo experiences, but where users can screw it up easily. They are already on the right track with personalized zones, though of course they've been doing that since it was a Big Deal(tm) in AO. But it really feels like a throwback experience that you can have your designed-to-be-soloed quest borked by some random passerby. Not game-breakingly bad, just something I can't see being acceptable save for those who appreciate the nostalgia of Emporer trains in CB

God, once I got firmly into the, "You can pretty much one-shot this asshole" level range, I used to love sitting in that tower and just fucking D'Vinn's shit up for hours on end.
Countless noobs thanked me, but I didn't do it for them. I did it for me.

Your punishment for not trusting me and buying this on day one. You were going to cave in anyway (and this time for good reasons), why the wait?

I am only playing because Ingmar is, I gave no shits about The Secret World, and honestly I still give no shits about it, but I figure I can kick around in it a little bit. I've given plenty of MMOs I've given no shits about a try before, why stop now?

I was joking, of course. You may not give a shit, but I am glad you are playing. I don't know you well but I really had a feeling that both you and Ingmar would have liked this one. That's probably why I kept thinking you and Ingmar would have caved in, and felt particularly strange that of all people specifically you two were not playing it, cause I really thought it was totally your kind of MMORPG.
We'll see.

I played it a very little bit (we have a birthday party to go to today and D&D tomorrow, we are WASTING OUR FREE TIME) and the story stuff will probably interest me, although I've never been hugely into this type of story, but I am really not sure about the combat. It depends on the combat learning curve to see if it annoys me too much to keep going to get to the interesting bits. Lucky for the game, my tolerance for iffy combat is pretty high if the story is good enough.

Yea. But like Surly, that created periodic fun at level 25, 30, 40 and beyond. Used to love sitting in the tunnel twisting AE Mezz. Final time I went back I'd one-shot just for kicks. But it was great for the hero complex :). I assume the same was true for folks who came up through Blackburrow? All my characters were eastern.

Honestly, it took me so many tries to come up with a name I didn't hate, I kinda forgot what it was. I'll post in the thread when I log in again later. :P

For reals, I have a character named Ka-Bang, ffs. Single server tech is not nice to naming characters, but at least you won't get all your cool names to have them taken away ala TOR.

GW2 has a far better solution on the naming thing.

Champion's has a better naming solution. If there was one thing other companies could borrow, it should be that.

Yes, allowing people to use spaces and up to 18 letters is just awesome. Makes up for very unique names. Love that.

I do not like how my character's mouth is slightly open and that she never gets to talk, so she just sort of comes across as a gawking idiot in all her cut scenes.

And even though the protagonist is mute (a lot of NPCs acknowledge this, btw), you still get to play with facial expressions and stuff sometimes. The one that stands out for me is in Savage Coast when the Indian guy is berating his niece at the bait shop as the PC enters, finishes his monologue with "and here's the person who'll solve our problem" and both of them look meaningfully towards the PC. The PC obviously responds to this by looking out the door behind him

Yeah. Also remember during the intro video, you end up vomiting energy. That can't be good for your vocal chords. Also, the isolation in your messy room for a week could really indicate (poorly) that you are going through shock for many things, including finding out that you can't speak anymore. And, since every NPC you speak with knows you are a "bee", they seem to be aware of the fact that the "Bees" are powerful but can't speak.

The only problem with that theory is the questions you can ask most of the NPCs.
I'm pretty sure you can talk, you just don't do it often.
