In the MMORPG The Secret World the release 12, a major update, comes next week. It overhauls game mechanics.
Most MMORPGs struggle with the “RPG” part in the genre title, where The Secret World shines. The stories are considered outstanding, competing with their dense atmosphere, wit, and spirit against many classic single-player RPGs or adventures. This is hard to say about other MMORPGs.
However, the “MMO” elements pose difficulties for The Secret World, having become static and stiff over the years. While the competition has improved, providing players with more activities and clearer goals, TSW has not followed this trend. A few months ago, the accessibility of the game was significantly increased, and now they want to address the MMO mechanics next week.
Thus, the currency jumble is simplified, relying only on “Black Bars” and converting existing currency into this all-purpose currency. “Challenges” are introduced – 4 daily, 7 weekly, all tracked well in a journal. Additionally, two new raids are introduced, and world bosses are brought into the game. We have already presented the details.
Currently, the overall sentiment around The Secret World is affected less by gameplay issues and more by concerns about the financial health of developer Funcom.
