Used to. I think as part of a Humble Bundle or something I got one month paid? So I tried it exactly one month. It was pretty good. Never did multiplayer but solo was easy enough even though Egypt was so empty feeling, like all the good stuff was in the beginning. Got to Tokyo or whatever that urban area is that required more money and has some stupid damage reduction mechanic and stopped, it was the end of the month anyway, good place to stop and not spend any more money on it.
I don't even remember the "Legends" part being in the title before, so I don't know how it's different.
Oh, you ran
actual Secret World. Which is nice. They changed it to an buy once, play forever model a couple years ago, then a pure F2P model (where Legends came from) sometime a couple months ago, which I was deeply eh on because I'd essentially have to start over. But I discovered you could swap out one file and play the old game, just that it wouldn't get updates, so I went from Egypt (which, you're right, relatively emptier than Kingsmouth, but Transylvania 'sort of' makes up for that, except I couldn't play ~30% of that content because without a group to run with I'd die like a bitch) to Transylvania and stopped before I actually got to Kaidan (which has AEGIS which is what you're complaining about.
I enjoyed their setting a lot. Shame they had to make it multiplayer or I'd have played through more of it.
Absolutely. I want to play High Elves so badly. And another part of me is excited for Dark Elves after I do High Elves first. The campaign sounds so interesting, not that End Times was bad. And maybe with only 4 new races, they'll all be relevant, instead of now where Wood Elves, Bretonnia, and Norsca are basically absent in everyone else's quest battles since they weren't initially present. I hope they release a real High Elf trailer before that though, sad that they're just toyed with in two of the three other trailers.
Already pre-ordered. I don't normally do that, and I know I'm supporting the DLC money grab that is the bane of modern gaming practices, but I couldn't resist here.
Yeah, same, mostly because Norsca was a hell of a bribe. A hell of a NICE bribe, too. Wulfrik was a very fun campaign to play through, and one with perhaps my lowest average army size short of the
space mari-er, elves. Although now clearing out Norsca after winning the Short Campaign becomes nightmarish, because of all the mammoths you have to fight.
It was also an opportunity to go back and try the Von Carsteins (even if Vlad should be a handsome guy, not a disgusting-looking corpse, but w/e), which, along with the addition of Blood Knights, has been making this Vampire campaign a great deal more fun than my first one right after release.
