1/26/2024 0 Comments Tsw digging deeper tier 4![]() ![]() So far, I’ve only been to 4 zones in total and haven’t left the Scorched Desert yet. Now, my progress in The Secret World has been, compared to most players, very slow. Most of the Missions Can Be Played Under-Level (But not the final mission, apparently…) From fleshing out Said and the villainous Abdel Daoud to the pop-culture loving Nassir, the first full content package for The Secret World is well worth the $10 pricetag. I’m not here to be a plain citizen (a really overpowered super-citizen) of a fantasy world, I’m here to experience the story of why my character is heroic and how that changes his or her society.Īnd The Last Train to Cairo is chock full of delicious, delicious story. Not just small, colorful, localized vignettes, but a full over-arcing complete storyline. There are those who disagree (and with good reasons), but why I play these games is to experience the storylines behind them. Whether it’s a short 90-minute story found in movies, a long drawn-out story found in novels and serialized TV shows, or an interactive story found in video games and MMOs, story is the driving factor of the medium. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a thousand times, I’m a fan of story. The tropes you see in the fantastic Indiana Jones movies (except the last one, which I refuse to acknowledge even exists) become viable in The Secret World’s setting, even down to picking up a whip to use as an auxiliary weapon.Īnd of course, busting out the classic fedora. Time travel? Check! Infiltration? Check! Fisticuffs? Check! Taking an ancient artifact from an old Egyptian tomb? Check! Stopping a train carrying a bomb set to explode in a major metropolitan area?! Check! Holy hell, even the music during the final mission takes its cue from the movies. I mean in that you-experience-the-adventure kind of way. Indiana! Nazi-beating, tomb-spelunking, Ark-opening Indiana! And I don’t mean it’s based like the uber-cheesy way that World of Warcraft sprinkles pop culture in every other sentence. It’s based off of Indiana freaking Jones! ![]() So, since the bevy of players have already worked well past this content pack, allow me to give you my belated thoughts on it. Quality level 10 items are dropping, fully replacing my current QL 7 items, which I’m happy about, but making my way through the content has been arduous. My Illuminati character, Ocholivis, finally reached the level where the quest ratings for the expansion turned from “Devastating” to “Normal”. But I think they lied… in playing through the missions, I’ve just had my behind handed to me again and again and again. ![]() Let’s just say that I still wasn’t ready for it. The first fully paid content pack for The Secret World was released on March 14th, and only over the past week or so have I been able to check it out. The missing letters by now are H, K and X, Y or Z (trivia: the original Latin alphabet didn't have the letters J, V and W).So how behind am I on this? A month? That’s not so bad. In the end you should have knowledge of the following rune letters The phrase is then “ Ad august per angusta”, a slight misspelling(?) of the phrase “ad augusta per angust”, which means something like “to honours through difficulties”. Then, through a little qualified guesswork and search for Latin phrases it should be fairly easy to find out that the missing letter is G. Comparing the letters the message on the flyer says “Ad au_ust per an_usta”. Although it is not necessary to get to the required location you should by now know all but one rune letter on the flyer.
