Do you still play classic TSW?

Just curious how many people play the good old TSW, i logged in the other day and saw a few people in Agartha;)

I log in occasionally, usually when I’m feeling nostalgic for the old days. On the other hand, I don’t play SWL at all any more. Lost interest in it a long time ago.

There are regular Raids on and enough peoples in prime times for other stuff to do.
Yes, I play occasionally.

There is pretty active Discord server too: The Secret World Classic

Edit: Discord link fixed
Edit 2: Discord link fixed again :slight_smile:

I play sometimes.

Most people there use /chat join TSW to communicate.

Good to know ty:)

Is there an alternative to that Discord server? I refuse to go back to that place.

I do play the old TSW. Can’t bring myself to like the new one

About TSW, I’ve been told that amongst the few people that still plays it, many are (ab)using the cartwheel glitch. Can anyone confirm/deny ? Thanks

It only works in Fusang, trough Facility forcefield.

Well some were doing it when i played for a little while maybe 2 years ago now, after so many years playing you’d think they would know the dungys/raids well enough to not have to use that , but people do what they do i guess , anyways you should drop in & have a look, it’s not like you have to stay if you don’t like what you find :upside_down_face:

Last I heard people get mad if you go to Fusang so there’s that.

That’s when you tell them… ā€œDon’t like it? Come fight me.ā€

I have not played either version for years now. I still think the original was better than the old when it came to combat and just playstyle. I was not so happy that they removed some of the content from the original game, but I do understand why they tried to make it more accessible for new players.

This guy on massively sure does, as the current chosen adventure :slight_smile:

I did. It’s way more complex then Legends, but the added content was vorth it, until Tokyo. Then you get hit vith the most insane difficulty-spike I’ve ever seen in games. AEGIS mechanics are insane, and you need a eternity and a half to upgrade your own AEGIS gear to be even semi-effective. Be prepared to die a LOT, and get frustrated even more.

The community left in the game these days dont make it any easyer. All of them are elitists with 10+years of time in the game, and geared up to Z, expecting any new player to ā€˜git gud’ or get out. Don’t bother with them helping, all they ever do is run dungeons and not even look at the rest of the game, they’l just look down on you. Same goes vith their Discord server. A clique that sticks together and looks down on newbies.

I’d advize to stick with Legends. It has more population, it’s more streamlined, they balanced out the dificulty curve, and you dont need to grind for eternity for story content (you do for Elite stuff, but all the Story stuff can be done with Blue or Purple gear).

Did you just get banned from TSW Classic Discord?
I think that is an achievement itself :smiley:

I think that joining into Funcom Forums right now, just to make first post about you pointing finger to TSW players and labeling ā€œall of themā€ unhelpful elitists, is a bit low blow.

Banning me over a diference of opinion is a low blow. I respond to low blows in kind. And to warn people to keep away from cliques. And condescending people who insult you.

Frankly it just made the decizion easyer. I was alredy on the fence of deleting TSW for the amount of frustration in Tokyo. This just helped me make up my mind. The reazon TSW is dead, is not just because some mechanics, but also the community left over there. Its toxic.

Well everyone can judge toxicity in it by themselves… by joining that Disco and reading all your material too.

They can. And they can try the game, get to the point I did, get frustrated and ask for help, then be talked down to and expected to ā€˜git gud’ by a bunch of condescending toxic types in chat.

I’d rather they are spared that expirience though. Its not worth it. The nerves, the time wasted, or the agravation. So I’m serving notice here.

about six different people offered you help and did their best to help you out, including sending you gameplay videos, yet all you did was complain further until at some point even the most patient members of the discord had enough of you
