[Column] The Secret World: The Broadcast

Last night I sat down at my computer to finally get my chance to dive into the Halloween story. Nevermind that it’s past Halloween now, it’s always Halloween in The Secret World. Or at least it feels that way. So I logged Penny in and hit the button to get it started. Wow do I regret that.

    I was pretty happy they included the 2012 and 2013 Event's as well. And the broadcast series of mission's is awesome, easy to just sit there and listen to the radio's.

    This is such a well done quest chain.  You have to listen to the radio broadcasts, they're that good!

    Awesome work :)

     

    As for the event, dunno the others but I play with my Lawbreaker only occasionally on Saturdays, so he's pretty low QL, too low for Meeow and for the Broadcast. BUT not for the Spooky story collection, especially not if there are other lowlie Lawbreakers around. I'm out this weekend, but not on the next, and I think the event will still be there on next Saturday.

    So I'm thinking about collecting the spooky pages then. It's non-repeatable anyways, so if you want to relive it you need a new character for the job - which I have now, due to the cabal :)

    She is not. Her name is Penny "Manxome" Marino.

    I'm back again, The Secret World just keeps calling me in. Working on an Illuminati tank this time, started off Blade/Chaos but really wanted to be able to Debilitate easily, so switched the Blade to Hammer. Just entered the Savage Coast.

    I've seen some of the lore and new things around Kingsmouth, but am I able to start on these quests, or do I need to be QL10 to be able to handle them? I heard the cat one goes into Blue Mountain, which is scary enough even if you're geared for that level.

    Blue Mountain is not that scary, but yep, for Cat God I'd say you need to be at least QL8ish, and/or bringing a good team.

     

    That's why I wrote above I'll focus onto completing the spooky stories with my lowlie, from the three events maybe that's the most newcomer-friendly. You still need to visit Blue Mountain, and for a few fights it could help to bring a couple of friends (they can be lowlies too), but that event is not that tough overall. The only issue could be Jack, that's a hard fight, luckily it's in the open, so you can ask additional help if your group of 5 can't beat him.

     

    Broadcast also has its tough moments, so I'd say if you're only at the Coast, leave Meow and Broadcast for the next year - or tag along folks above QL10.

    Played The Broadcast and replayed a few other items. Before, I was playing another great game with a great story, but TSW sucked me back in with a vengeance. They really hit the ambiance for the final boss with this one. Yet, the one to really get under my skin was the parking lot in Tokyo (little girl, oni, bunny, you know the one). And right after that (yes, three in a row), it was the Fear Nothing headquarters. I'm not a fan of Halloween (being a teacher kills that particular joy) or horror games ('cept for TSW and the earlier Silent Hill games), but I'm once again in love with TSW.
