Secret World Legends stream

[Ross Scott]

As a reminder, I'll be doing a stream of Secret World: Legends tomorrow at 5pm UTC.  I normally don't announce the streaming sessions here (except in the upper right corner), but I was hoping to get a few more people to join in on this one to maybe do raid content. It's free to play, but you may not be able to join in everything if you have a low level character, though I'll do some stuff that lvl 1 people can do also.

In the game, we'll meet at the fountain outside of the Templar building in London.  My character name is Griddlecakes and I'll be wearing a hazmat suit.

i wanted to hit 50 last week, but i kept crashing and that pissed me off greatly. Wish you picked another game, like unreal or quake or something...

Oh man, this has to suck so hard. I'm at 20 lvl, and I had an insane plan to go up 30 levels during last week (kind of like in that South Park episode) just to be able to play with Ross, but didn't have the guts to spend whole week on playing SWL. But if I were at level 49, that would probably be the ultimate orgasm denial. I don't think I could take it.

Man, it's been ages since I last played this game. I wonder if the African mission is any good.  I am lvl 50, so could join a raid, but I forgot the phases, how to tank, etc...

just go play those games if you want to xD, some of u guys make it sound like ross is ur buddy buddy or something, it's kinda weird

 

i actually find it odd how people are willing to grind at a game they might hate, just to play with some random internet person, but i don't understand the internet

I'm primarily interested in these playsessions because they can breathe life into otherwise low population games/expose me to games I wouldn't have tried otherwise. I really enjoyed the Fortress Forever playsessions because prior to the Accursed Farms servers, the most populated stuff I saw were PUGs, which I don't care about at all.

 

I'd love to play some more low pop games (specifically older Source mods that don't see many -if any at all - players like Eternal Silence or Dystopia) that I couldn't otherwise during these.

 

Obviously Ross himself plays a part in this because he's our cult leader, but for me it's the reasons above moreso than anything else.

Eternal Silence

I 100% support playing this mod. It's slightly dated, but it's extremely well done, and with a little modding of the settings can easily handle 128 players on each side. (not total, each side, I've tested it personally with a low-end laptop running the server and playing the game at the same time)

Also, @Ross Scott- I made a thread in the miscellaneous section but seeing as this thread exists now I'm just going to copy/paste the relevant text from there to here.

 

I've been playing Secret World Legends in preparation for the playsession. I read that the game uses "dimensions", essentially instances so that no place gets overcrowded and lagged to death with an abundance of players. Supposedly you can "meet up", but I have no idea how this process works.

 

I'm going to assume this game has a guild/clan system. If that's the case, we should probably set up an Accursed Farms group to help anyone who's going to try to get in on the action have an easier time with it.

We'll figure something out in-game, if people are there, but in separate instances, we can figure out another way to group together.  Feel free to spearhead efforts to make it easier.

The updater for the game keeps on going forever in the "Patching Resource Database" part for me. The progress bar goes out of the updater window even.

Well, that could've gone better). I really thought we'd get 10 lvl50s for the raid.

Dr. Manhattan was mine

I was playing as Trickster, which is basically what Ross would be if he was a superhero: a hero whose superpower is that he randomly spawns random weird shit around him and has no control over that. Sometimes I spawn several blue Dr. Manhattans

Looks like I slept through the playsession, woops. Hope everyone who made it had fun at least.

It was my Grandma's birthday. Stupid Grandma

But Ross isn't some random internet person. He's our best friend and Father.
