The MMORPG The Secret World aims to speed up its combat system. With Patch 13.1, new side missions were introduced.
At The Secret World, they made an effort to release the last issue, #13, before Christmas. Some side missions were not completed in time. As promised, they were added last week with Update 13.1. Four new side missions have been added in Tokyo, and two “Rare Bosses” are also causing trouble in the area.
Instead of slowing down ranged combat, melee combat will be faster
A change that annoyed many players could have a positive long-term impact on The Secret World. In some ranged abilities that generate resources, a casting time was introduced to clearly differentiate ranged abilities from melee abilities.

This change was not well received by the players. Funcom acknowledged the complaints, gathered together, and decided to speed up melee combat instead of slowing down ranged combat.
Therefore, they plan to remove the casting time from all “Builder” abilities. Additionally, the charge abilities of melee characters will have shorter cooldowns so they can get into the action faster. This change is expected to happen soon.
