The morse code one bugged me because it was too freaking fast... there was no slow-down control and I didn't have the patience to jot down one-two signals every time I listened to it. Of course I could've downloaded a morse app like this one (check out the download statistics btw  awesome, for real) and have my phone do the heavy lifting, but :effort:

I am stubborn so I eventually transcribed that shit.  It was certainly hard, and I had never done anything with morse code before.  So fast!  But I was quite proud of myself for getting that done, since at first it seemed utterly impossible because it was simply too fast. Yes, it wasn't a hard puzzle, but it was hard to actually do, and very satisfying to finish it.  Not something I'd want to do every play session though.  Plus now I know my numbers and S.O.S. in morse code.  Educational!

The morse code one bugged me because it said go find parts, so I looked up the model number of the thing on the fake website, and wrote down the parts required to repair, and found those parts.

No, you have to collect all the shit even stuff you don't need, and just click the thingy. Overthinking investigation quests for the lose :(

That's bizarre, it let me do it just picking up the stuff listed on the site?

When I did just the stuff from the site, then clicked the thingy it failed and restarted with "go get shit"

I would up looking it up on a walk-through and it told me to just pick up EVERYTHING. Which seemed completely contrary to investigation quests.

Dunno what that's about, as I just picked up the stuff I needed and fixed it! Clearly my Templar is better at fixing shit than you are.

Yea, I also made a list of stuff I need and only picked them up... the next phase of the quest probably only checks if you have the 'right' items in your inventory, but doesn't penalize you for having 'bad' items. Maybe in the dark pre-beta ages they took away all the items and gave a "BZZZT WRONG" message until you got the EXACT items (and only those) in your inventory... I also imagine they changed it to be more permissive after receiving the third death threat disguised as a bug report.  why so serious?

Wow, they nerfed tacos hard. 

1) Now have a casting time.
2) Cannot be used if you have ANY dot left on you.  So, hello to post victory dot death since it seems like some common blood and poison stacking dots unstack one at a time and stack to 10 counts of 10. 

But yay, they stack.  swamp poop

And, seems this patch randomly deleted a bunch of crap out of people's bags. I lost tons of healing and HOT potions.  Ingmarr actually had one of his weapons deleted. FUNCOM  awesome, for real

That tradepost isn't anything to brag about either.  Looks and works like it was slapped together quite quickly.

Now I have to check my bags when I go home, most of it is just green which drop like rain in Carpathain fangs anyways.

I thought at first that it had deleted all my weapons and talismans. It didn't. They are just invisible on my paperdoll! They're still there but on my doll it looks like I have nothing equipped.

Additionally, some people reported their bags were empty or missing lots of items, some reported after disabling their mods the inventory items showed up again.

I'm guessing that isn't the case here, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, but worth mentioning anyways in the off chance it helps.

I had that happen to me un-modded a while back. Like 7 items in my inventory just went poof for about an hour (including a quest item I was trying to find), and I got them back by moving shit around in my inventory.

The patch totally called my CustomUI and I'm just not arsed enough to bother trying to reinstall it. Luckily, my damage meter, no intro movies and topbar information overload still work.

Curse has a test-client of it mod-tool for TSW. Allows downloading and automatic installing from the curse site. Not all mods support it yet, but it makes things a lot easier.

They're just gone.  Haven't come back yet.  They could be hiding in my inventory somewhere, but they were just in two small custom bags.  And the entire stacks weren't gone, just incredibly decreased in size (like 10+ potions down to 2 or 1).  Just odd but not unexpected really.

I don't use any mods.

Yeah and my pistols were not just invisible, they were gone. Couldn't use pistol abilities, when I equipped a new one nothing magically popped into my inventory, etc. I'm also not running any mods. Luckily I am only using 1 pistol active normally.

Update 1.1.1 - August 7th

With this update we have enabled TXAA, and The Secret World is the first game in the world to support this anti-aliasing technique! This requires the newest NVIDIA Kepler (600) series of GPU. To enable TXAA in the video options of the game select "TXAA 2x" or "TXAA 4x" as your anti-aliasing under the video options of the game. These drivers are schedueled to go out of beta (WHQL) around the 13th of August.

The Master Planner achievement now enforces the proper requirements of never changing your build, as intended

Why on earth did they do that instead of fix the humming box?  I hated that quest even when credit was shared.  Those Padurii are the worst mobs in the game bar none.
