Early access for The Secret World begins today! The launch of a new MMO is a fun time, despite all of the likely issues. I have not exactly been fawning all over TSW, but it should be an interesting game. So here is my plan.
Faction. I will be rolling a Templar. The Illuminati is nice and all, but I'm in the mood for some righteous fury.
Dimension. A dimension is TSW's version of a shard, but it is not a server. It's basically a big instance of the game world which allows you to change on the fly. So I have not really given it any thought. I'll probably just roll on a PvE dimension.
Cabal. This is their version of a guild. I have no plans on joining one at the moment. I'm not sure I will stick with TSW, so I am not comfortable putting down any roots.
Weapon of Choice. Just like in beta, I will be going with an Assault Rifle. No particular reason except that it is a machine gun and feeds into my Commando fantasy.
PvP. I might be checking out the PvP areas. I am pretty sure they have a Bolster mechanic which helps us slow advancers at least compete.
That about covers my thoughts going into The Secret World. This weekend will be a busy one for me, so I'm not sure how much time I'll actually get to play. Probably better off that way as we know how these launches can go.
Hello? Is Anybody There?
