I spent the afternoon alternatively being terrified of my life as I made way through a this-should-have-been-deserted office building complex, and laughing like a mad Malakite as I used my reward for finishing Issue 11 to visit great wrath upon select bosses in the Forces of Evil from Issues 1 to 10. Because I was so awesome that they gave me a BOOM Stick. Possibly too much of a BOOM Stick: it’s gonna get nerfed soon, I’m sure of it.
…Yeah, yeah, I know: if you don’t play The Secret World you don’t care. Imagine how my wife feels: she had to listen to me analyze what the Issue 11 reward will do to PvP (what it will do will cause a lot of formerly-arrogant rhino-hides to rage-quit because everybody will one-shot them). Over dinner. Because I apparently turned into one of those people when I wasn’t looking.
Anyway, that’s why I was quiet today. Well, quiet here. I was cackling elsewhere.
Everyone needs to geek out now and then. It’s good for the soul.
Actually the ultimate ability doesn’t work on PvP… Actually it doesn’t even charge on PvP instances, some people reported it also doesn’t charge on scenarios, I can tell for sure about PvP, and just like AEGIS system it doesn’t work on PvP.
That is… probably for the best, at least for PvP. They would have had to nerf the hell out of it to keep the PvP folks from going nuts about it.
It DOES work in dungeons, though. I tested that last night. The big question is, what happens when two players hit the same boss with it.
