I just saw on reddit that anyone who links (or already linked) their TSW account to legends will now get 3 character slots instead of 1.
EDIT: already done BTW... I have 3 slots now.
Damn, wish I knew about this because I just bought a character slot last night lol. Oh well.
Now you have an extra for experimenting
I went ahead and tried an Assasin and the blades do seem like a very solo and beginner friendly line with good self heals very early on.
I also had a blue MkII assault rifle drop randomly so I was going to try starting out a new one with assault rifle primary... but then I went and improved it not realizing that bound it to my Assassin. Noob mistake lol.

I have a lifetime sub from the original TSW and was excited when I heard about TSW:L but after a few hours the combat still feels clunky. I like the quests, story and theme and can get past the fugly characters and cheesy voice acting but I just can't stand the combat.

Hows the game so far ?
Like the combat did improve.
But the game itself feels like to dark.
And I found items in the cash shop that aren't for sale without an Ultimate Edition?
Honestly, I only got to play for a few hours last night and so far I'm enjoying it. I always liked this mmo, but couldn't get into the combat. The combat has vastly improved imo so nowe I will give this game a real go.
Not exactly sure what you mean by dark? Do you mean the atmosphere and setting? Or do you mean the color palette that makes the game graphically darker? Can you elaborate? I'll answer afterwards
I haven't really checked the cash shop so I can't answer your question, sorry.

Like just too dark at night lol with no way to carry a torch, or flashlight at night time, only way I can fix this is turning gamma all the way up.
I see a lot of people playing here. I'm thinking of starting later today. Why not form a Cabal or something? Or just hold hands and stare into each other's eyes in silence? I'm up for either.

So how does the combat "feel". The build, build, build........unload whilst tedious wasn't the only issue. The combat just felt 'off' somehow. No real weight, not visceral. Another thing was the endless circle straffing whilst not the only way to approach combat you could fight bigger and more with that 'tactic'.
Still Bill 'not gushing' is ominous sounds like a solid 8.5 which is 50% on the MMORPG 7-10 scale.
Despite this still tempted to try again. Weirdly got a soft spot for TSW and Funcom, at least they dare to try different
I think Funcom did a great job here. Now what they need is an official forum for this version of the game. The old one is filled with bitter veterans hating on this and Reddit which always sucks.
Fired this up yesterday to see if anything much had changed. Unfortunately after 4hrs I gave up. Combat is still as bad as ever (maybe worse), I was so bored I just could not play any more. I played this when it first came out and enjoyed it for about a month despite the weightless combat but this time around it was just plain boring.
Downloading may as well give it a go......will be a decade at current speeds. Not sure I've got the apettite to experience it all again. Think my furthest run was the start of Transylvania. Unless the feel is quite changed I doubt I'll stay nearly that long.
Kinda found myself bored rather fast. Kiting while cycling your powers seemed to work too well, so I was kinda just watching red bars drop to zero without investing much of anything into the actual combat or general activities. Enemies themselves seem a little damage-spongy at least early on too, but mostly that just meant kiting them longer which failed to make anything harder, just more tedious.
I think the combat changes are significant, not cosmetically, but mechanically and that's what matters to me. No more spam. I like that.
I wish they offered a little more customization with character appearance. It could be a lot better.
Maybe I'm not far enough along in the head start, but I find the combat now shallow and a snooze fest. I really hate it now. Story is the same of course, top notch, but that isn't enough to keep me in this new version. It's just another ARPG. If that is what they were going for, then they have succeeded. Nothing special or unique about it and that cash shop, I can see it gouging often and early.

im realy not understanding how peoples can play this game, the model are just damn ugly, the battle system the worst i have ever see in all my mmorpg life ( i have play EVERYTHING )
got a friend who play and looking at your ''pay to progress'' if you play totaly free to play it will take you many many many more times that someone who just spend, so much time that it just become a pain in the butt to play totaly f2p because it kill your fun if you want be competitive a litle bit, almost no one can bear to grind for many many time when you play a games while in the corner it say ''here pay, enjoy the game man !! ''
these fuking f2p games are pathetic, they alway cut your fun so you need to spend usualy or forget anything if you want pvp or be competitive, and this game use this system realy well!!
The day before I was able to have both launchers up and even log into each game (to check characters, didn't try bringing up both games at the same time) with no problem. Now I can confirm the latest update changed TSW to SWL during the update.

My only issue thus far has been the darn elongated patch this morning. What was supposed to be a 2 hour patch became a longer one. Other than my small insignificant issue, the game has been fun to play again. There is really something to be said for taking your time and enjoying the ambience and story behind this game. I found many things thus far I missed when I originally played because I rushed through it.
One thing I had to do was change my combat controls. The combat itself is fine and improved, from the mechanics perspective imo, but the button configuration didn't work for me. I made the changes and its been much, much better and more fluid for me.
I really really love this game now. Had issues with the original but in all honesty, to me the game is almost perfect now, and if you are curious, I'd suggest giving it a try. ^.^

Hmm, try closing and re-opening the launcher? That boosted me up to about normal speeds, I was in the kb/s range and was too slow..

A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve, not the desire to beat others.

Rumor has it there was a dupe for Aurum hence the extended downtime during the weekend.
