I got the game years back but never really played it other then more then 10 minutes. Plan to play the game again but I find the gameplay very daunting.

Any advice in how to play the game would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm a recently returning player to the original The Secret World (not legends). I came back this October out of nostalgia for the Halloween missions but created a new account. I'm curious though, I didn't get a call right away (like it was circa 2014) for Halloween events. What are the requirements and dates for the event? I imagine it's close to ending already, but is there any way to start it?

Thank you!

Hi all. I wanted to let y'all know that this Thursday, at 10pm UK time, my very first Radio Drama is being aired on Big Ear Radio, an equal ability radio station. While it isn't directly linked to The Secret World, the story definitely is influenced by it. It's a Dark Tale of corporate voodoo, and was recorded over the summer/ I have tried to make it sound as professional as possible, and would really appreciate your support. It's only 30 minutes long, so if you all could listen live to https://bigearradio.com/ or click on the live link: https://streaming.radio.co/sd28ebb009/listen to listen to the drama, I would be really grateful. Thursday 31 October 10pm UK Time.

My "what if" wish for The Secret World...

If I ever won the lottery, I would buy this IP from Funcom. Pull as many orignal developers back, refresh graphics, pay salaries, and get it back up and running.

Legends is okay but it so pale to the original! I want all my nightmare dungeons, all PvP arenas, monthly updates and hints of new content, and my subscription guarantees keys! The mirco transactions going back to clothes and looks only. I should not have to pay to open fucking dungeon chests!

I LOVED the ability wheel. I played the game from launch and my group was still finding new synergistic builds! Leech tanks, assault healers, 4 manning nightmares, and having the best fucking time.

What a unique game. The concept, the building abilities and passives, the lore!

I would have loved South America, with Inca, Mayan, Aztec lore. Antarctica with some HP Lovecraft "Mountains of madness", maybe even some Atlantis!

If I ever had stupid money to burn, this would be the place I would burn it!

I miss TSW and SWL doesn't come close to how amazing this game can be.

Hey there, I’m reaching out because I’m at an impasse. For a while I’ve been trying to get a follow-up to „The Secret World: Legends“ off the ground in the form of a web series. A means to bring the story to a close, officially instead of ending on a cliffhanger.

However my efforts to contact Funcom about licensing the IP have been met with silence. Not even a simple „no“ but I just got ghosted.

Does anyone know means to contact a Funcom representative, their licensing team or anyone with access to the license?

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting through the Venetian Trials? Is Tokyo even worth it? I've heard the Aegis system is not so great but know little about it.

I just got back in the game after being locked out for several years and completed the first trial, then I did The Hotel and realized I need to be in good form to complete it.

My weapons are 10.1. Maybe I should try to upgrade them.

I have lots of stuff in my inventory to breakdown, so maybe that's the path. I'm reading guides on how it all works as I've more or less forgotten it all. It's not just TSW, some of the old MMO have labyrinthine crafting systems.

It's all a lot to take in. I was using this build prior to leaving the game (see link) with Art of War instead of Domino. Also need Leeching Frenzy. It's a solid build.

The Venitian trials are challenging for sure though.

Edit: I just had to buy the Seal and unlock the next missions from Arturo having previously unlocked the simulation (I guess)

So I bought the classic secret world forever ago and just recently found my account info. Having never really actually tried the game, but always being a fan of the idea of it, I was surprised to find out the servers are still active and playable. Only issue I have is that I never actually got all the issues. Specifically, I have 1-11, and 15, and am missing 12-14. Is it possible to still get that content, or am I s-o-l?

Amazingly I was able to get the game up and running again. It took some doing.

It's going to take some time to get reoriented. I'm skill level 10. I have most of the skills unlocked in the game.

I found the magic link that showed me how to get the game up and running

I'm playing on the Deck and it's painful to get both custom input and keyboard to work. Any possibly of adding some script to handle that?

Hey Reddit Community! 🎮👾

I'm excited to announce that starting from tonight, Monday, 5th August 2024, I’ll be diving headfirst into the dark, mysterious world of The Secret World—the original game that we all know and love! 🌍✨

When & Where: 🕗 M**onday & Thursday Evenings **at 8 PM UK time on Twitch.

I’ll be creating a brand new Illuminati character and taking on the entire story, from the eerie streets of Kingsmouth to the bustling chaos of Kaiden. Expect intrigue, secrets, and my infamous lack of stealth (seriously, if there's a way to trip an alarm, I'll find it 😂).

Why Tune In?

• Nostalgia Trip: Relive the glory days of TSW with me!
• Story Exploration: We'll uncover every hidden lore piece and secret together.
• Laughs Guaranteed: My stealth and sabotage skills are legendary... for all the wrong reasons. Watch me fumble through missions with style (or at least, with a lot of noise).
• Community Fun: Let’s chat, have fun, and share tips and memories. Your company will make the journey even more epic!

Whether you're a veteran of the game or a newcomer curious about what TSW has to offer, my stream will be a mix of nostalgia, discovery, and lots of laughs.

So grab your popcorn, bring your best conspiracy theories, and join the adventure! I can't wait to see you all there and share this epic journey with the best community out there.

See you in the Secret World! 🌌🔍

P.S. Any tips on NOT triggering every alarm in a 5-mile radius are greatly appreciated! 😅

Hi there, I'm looking to give TSW another run out and I can't stand what they've done with the legends edition. I understand there's still a way to play on Classic and there's an active community, how do you go about joining it?

Is there any good website or is discord useful?

Edit: especially for things to do after finishing the main story (e.g. Unlocking rocket launcher, flame thrower etc., the Z skill from Tokyo Dlc) - did those already. Is there anything else?

Apologies if this has been asked before, it's a pain to search anything related to a "deck" on TSW forums :D

So I've seen that SWL is now "silver" on ProtonDB, and people seem to say it runs well enough. Is that also the case for TSW classic?

Managed to access my okd TSW account so i was abke to install the classic version of the game.

Does anyone have recommendations for starter weapons ? I tried to find some guides but frankly everything is about Leg3nd version of the game.

Happy to be back. But totally overwhelmed. Got some 10.4 gear. Active "through the wake darkly" quest. Full inventory, some spare skill points and no idea where to start. I would like to experience the world again before dungeoning and raiding. Are there any recommended quests or things to do? Maybe to get those black bullions for upgrading gear to 10.9 (if I remember correctly). I did all the dlcs. If not can I check somehow, somewhere what I did and what would be good to complete next?

I don't even know the path to Tokyo in agartha lol. Too many options

I had mostly forgotten about the kickstarter for the TTRPG. I had paid for a physical copy with PDF. I checked recently and saw I did get the pdf on drive thru rpg but no physical book was ever delivered to me. I looked in my email and found a voucher for a print on demand copy. I claimed it and found it was still $40 with the cheapest delivery.

I did not kickstart the TTRPG for a voucher for a print on demand voucher. I kickstarted for a copy of the printed book. A voucher that I still have to pay for does not cut it.

Hey

Does anyone have a link to an article or know a way of setting the game up to play like a fps?

It seems like the game world was designed around being in FP (looks amazing that way)

I was looking to see if anyone is running this game or is interested in running it.

I have zero issue with running the game it runs great and smooth for me but for him it keeps crashing is there anything he can do so we can play the game together?

Just redownloaded and jumping back in with a fresh character. Been a very long time, any tips to find groups or am I wasting my time

I don’t believe I ever claimed my buddy keys and was thinking of inviting some friends. How do you see/claim your keys?
