    The Secret World

    I was sure I made a topic on this before but apparently not.
    The open beta starts this weekend,noon EST. Sounds like you get to play through a zombie invasion in New England as the Templar faction.

    It's from the maker of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. Apparently the full game has single player.

    I think Gamespot still has some keys left: http://www.gamespot.com/event/codes/secret-world-pc/

      Well if it isn't Rick Grimes!





      Grandma ain't down with no zombie invasion though.



      Street name win.



      Boss.

        That thing wasn't a boss. The first actual boss is Cthulhu and it's uphill from there.

        Is it normal for first stage MMO bosses to have 96,000 HP with one hit "kill" attacks or is this game the MMO equal of Dark Souls?

          Any gameplay impressions?

          I'm thinking about picking this game up so I can play in the head start that starts tomorrow.

            Okay I'm playing it and having a ****king blast. Even for early access, its super smooth. Which is surprising, considering its fun com and all.

            Definitely not like any MMO out there.

              You can skip over gaining QL 2-5 weapons. Once you get 50 tokens you can run to Blue Mountian and buy QL 6 weapons. The vendors in Kingsmouth sell QL 3 and the ones in Savage Coast (which you can also run to) sell 5 and both of those cost 40 tokens.

                Which tokens? the Sequins of Solomon, or the pvp tokens?

                  The Solomon Island ones. Sadly it's only weapons and not talismans so they only help a little bit.

                    Yeah. Blue Mountain is no joke after running through the first two islands.

                    What build/weapons are you using?

                    My hammer/blade is in QL6 gear, and I just started a lumie that's AR/blood.

                      Chaos/AR or Blood/AR. Blood is 3,AR is 5 and Chaos is 6. All my talismans are only blue 3's though. I can't go too far,my friend hasn't been able to play so I'm mostly collecting stuff for her and doing some of the achievements. Monster hunting is kinda fun,took down Mr. Freezie,Father Appleby and the Dunwich Road Horror so far but I can't find that bear.

                        Good to know. I picked this up a couple days ago on impulse out of boredom, and have been pleasantly surprised by how much I am really enjoying it, the atmosphere is great, the voice acting and writing, it has a very "cyberpunk" vibe to it to me anyway. Love the free form direction to building your character too, buy the skills you want, go have fun.

                        Still in Kingsmouth doing all the quests I can find, attempted the 5 man dungeon instance there without a dedicated healer, didn't go so well, but still what a fun game.
