This is good game but don't let the first few weeks "gush" on it drown out the problems.
There are alot of bugs, more than any game I have played (and I have played most mmo's).
Once you take out the leveling pve areas and crafting there is currently very little left, I am sure this will be addressed once a few patches are rolled out.
The phasing technology can make you think you are playing a single player game.
They haven't thought through the selling mechanics very well
GFX are average, even on ultra at 2560 but you can have alot of players on screen if you can find them.
The environments are huge and well realised though
Does have Werewoves and Vampires in with appropriate skills!
Lots of room for expansion and their own IP which means no-one can dick with them over it.
Different and interesting skills with lots of multi-roles available.
Decent history and lore available to read in-game.
It IS a good game though and I am sure that if you can stick it out and enjoy the pve part for now some of these will be addressed.
Still say hi to Scarlet Arts if you're online.
THE SECRET WORLD - PAY ONCE PLAY FOREVER - Give it a go!
That is why i never get too over excited in first month or so with new MMO. I know i would be feeling differently once it gets a bit old. Happens every damn time.
Perhaps try not playing 80 hours a week? How long would any game be fun putting that kind of time into it? Just saying...
This is the first MMO for me where i spent this much time playing because i hurt my back in gym last month. Since i can not move much and have off from job so why not? but regardless even when i played 2 hours a day the excitement generally wears off in a month or two.
- The dolmens. First time was outstanding. I was just running toward the one near the shores of Daggerfall and I suddenly hear that lousy noise and see the huge anchor coming from the sky. I was flabbergasted. Wow, just wow... And stop to watch and see... and people began coming over, until one attacked, so i jumped into action and it was non-stop for 10mins. What a drill. Now, even if I have completed one, when its up, I just run there and hit like crazy, so fun.
- Group features. Jumping to one of your team mate is awesome. I prefer this rather then wasting precious time to run around.
- Group dungeon. Not too easy, not too long. Great rewards... Dont forget to look for chest before you leave it. I looted 9-10 chests alone in the sewers of Wayrest because my teammates were rushing to leave after we killed the last boss. I just stayed to explore and found sooo many chests. Came back from there full of goodies.
