One of many. And would it be so bad? I can think of worse ways to go. The potential for this possibility certainly heightens an impending doom - that we may be experiencing the final chapter of the Secret World. Another possibility is that this is the death of Gaia _as we know it_. To become something else. A changing. The behaviour of the gravity resistant spores seems to indicate an already existing relationship with Gaia’s chosen and the World Tree. That these events are unfolding at the moment indicates to me that there is still a chance that our involvement is to avert the future of Dark Agartha; the future isn’t written and no fate etc. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/funcom/original/2X/3/311be8aa316c749740559bb9418fee014bdcb49c.gif) ---

If its a raid, while that’s not as much my jam, I can really support this since Secret World hasn’t had a substantial raid in forever. If its a dungeon, mixed feelings. Would prefer the others return, but it’s good to have more. If its a (with new tech, scaled) mission thing, then great, I’d like story. Really all of the outcomes has positives for me, save for it being some limited challenge mode with almost no story and incredible grind. ---

I don’t think it’s a raid or dungeon because the video only shows one Bee at any time. ---

I assume it’s going to be a system of some kind, rather than just a mission chain or dungeon, since if time was going to be invested in story content I’d imagine it would be Congo. :v: ---

For the record, I’ll take a challenge mode for solo play. I just don’t want it to be higher grind than ever and have almost no story to it. This is a cool place, so let’s explore it. Sure put the cutscene priority on Congo, but this place is interesting enough that leaving it to ‘bad things here, kill them’ would be more than a little disappointing. ---

I find it interesting that dark agartha is covered in fungi. I never figured to think of the filth coming from the Tokyo portal to be like fungal rhizomorphs. For those who don’t know fungal rhizomorphs is one method for some fungi to spread instead of making a fruit body and releasing spores. Some rhizomorphs are black in color too. And like the armillaria fungi can be parasitic to living trees. ---

At the risk of stating the exceedingly obvious, but something as _random_ as the agent system was a _horrible_ way of (pretend) telling a highly game-relevant side story. I haven’t seen _any_ agent-related T3 agent mission other than Fountain of Youth all Samhain event, so my excitement for the followup to a story I haven’t actually been told is… _massively subdued_. I do hope Funcom will actually come up with something that’ll _ **reliably** _ let **_EVERYONE_** see the prelude to Dark Agartha themselves, because if not, one more reason _not_ to care about SWL. ---

I think you’re jumping to conclusions a little quickly. We don’t know what Dark Agartha is yet in terms of story - it may run parallel to the agent system story. I’ve got the agent but haven’t levelled him yet, but I doubt they’re tying it all in linearly. I really hope they aren’t! It may be that the agent missions gives more clarity and background (I haven’t run them yet, so can’t be sure), or it may be that the connection’s less direct. We don’t know enough about it from Andy’s video to really do much other than speculate. ---

I don’t need details to know I have not had _any_ chance to see any of the conquistador’s story, so unless contrary to what the news suggest there’s _absolutely no_ actual connection, it still proves the agent system is a bad way of telling anything but completely unrelated to the main game story “in other news” tales from the Secret World. ---

The first mission is The Lost Conquistador in T3. It seems to show up fairly regularly. How often are you able to check the missions? Also, I imagine the items you get from the end of the Conquistador mission chain will play a role in Dark Agartha. What role that is is just speculation. Will they be required for each person to enter? Will only one person on the server need it to open it for everyone? Will the items just be used for a bit of extra something in Dark Agartha? Who knows. And for those whose luck always sucks, you can still read the missions from the screenshots we made in the [agent missions spreadsheet](https://forums.funcom.com/t/agent-missions-spreadsheet/674/10?u=piankhi) thread. Not as thrilling as doing it yourself, I know, but it is an option. ---

This is how I felt about the Horsemen mission too, rng where only a few players on the server get to see the actual clues sucks. Esp. when they give you items which’ll probably be used in the new content as at least an easter egg. ---

As ever, the alternative was that they just _not_ tell that story at all. Agent missions are probably trivial in terms of dev time, actual “in game” stuff not so much. :v: ---
