Sometimes there is lore within.
Faction is pretty much a matter of taste since there's only a few different quests between them and the only thing different factions can't do together is PvP or join the same cabal. Also, anyone can group with anyone else regardless of server. Server only matters for the one persistent PvP zone.
Weapons pretty much determine your roll. If you let us know what you usually enjoy playing (tank, dps, heal) we can probably at least give you a good start on what you might like.
Thanks for the detailed answer ! Are cabals per server ? I'm thinking of joining the Templars on Cerberus and wanted some people to chat with while playing.
I'm thinking of going DPS for the first time around
Some nice new combat animations, really cool. Ground Pound still looks wonky, though.
Cabals are also cross-dimensional. Basically the dimension does not matter as long as you do not want to play the large persistent pvp zone (Fusang) with friends.
Btw. I put some weapons and a Glyph into the Cabal bank, if anyone want's to take a look.
And I noticed that if you disassemble a weapon now, you get metal AND runes out of it, I never saw that happen before the update.
edit: on the testserver
That fix is coming next week as it seems (1.1.1). It also fixes the clipping with all the new (and old) hats.

Maaan, missed the big update by a few hours :/

There are some lore items hidden into forests and other areas where you otherwise wouldn't come.
Yep, that's new I think.

Templar GAF is the most active I think. Join us!
Other than group chatting with people in your Cabal, the only thing you can't do with people that are outside of your Cabal is the Fusang persistent PVP which is dimension specific. You can do the other PVP warzones such as El-Dorado and Stonehenge as a group with your fellow Cabal members.
Every weapon can be built for DPS but for min/max players some may be more efficient than others. If you open your weapon skills menu with "K", you can see that each weapon has a Damage build and a secondary build which is either Support, Healing, or Survivability. The Ability Wheel has builds for both specifications.
This coming weekend. If you go to the Secret World website there is a sign up on the right side of the main page.

They moved us to the Community ghetto! Oh no!
Replacing my 5870 with a GTX 670 today. Will be interesting to see the performance gains not only from jumping to a more powerful GPU but from moving from AMD to nVidia. I read there were a lot of performance issues with AMD and while I didn't have too many problems there were a lot of areas where my frame rates would simply crash into the low 20s (good example is the rooftops in Egypt).

Do you guys use the new interaction menu/popup? I find it quite handy in most spots, but it get's in the way in others.
We should make a news thread about the free weekend btw. so peole can register in time!

I disabled it in my options because I find the UI text highly distracting. The functionality still works with the text disabled so I use it for some things, but most ladders found in instances are still pretty terrible.
About the upcoming free weekend, you must have missed all the fun in this thread:

Kotaku seems to like it: http://kotaku.com/5930694/the-secret-world-the-kotaku-review?utm_campaign=socialflow_kotaku_twitter&utm_source=kotaku_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
Pretty much.
I was just online inviting people and must have missed you. I'll add you to my friend list and get you next time if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Got around to doing Carter Unleashed last night. Pretty good. My interest in her as a character shot right up. Here's hoping
. Maybe the spoiler tag wasn't needed but didn't want to ruin the results to soon. Not sure if I want to do the missions form the male teacher at the academy though. Might do those later but don't want to lose out on getting points.
they do more mission where she either shows up or you're partnered with her. She's going to be insanely powerful if she isn't already if they keep pushing her story. Though hope they have her advance to have more control. Her attack doesn't give you a lot of time to get away at times. Got killed by the firestorm a few times because I didn't realize the radius would so large and go through walls.
MMORPG gives it an 8.5

Yeah that mission is great. The problem for me was that I was just too powerful so it turned out really short.

I had that issue as well, but nice beginnings of some good NPC interaction I hope.

Is anyone down for a Darkness War run?
Also, where's Dragon-Gaf at? All I hear from are Templars and Illuminati
I may be down if we can get enough folk.

Ankh is probably my favorite, although learning the final boss took the group I run with the better part of an hour.
Cool, well my name in-game is Drizzle. Feel free to hit me up
Both Ankh and DW were fun dungeons when i ran thru them. After ankh, tho, Ive had no experience (dps or tanking). At some point Ill get up and do the Transylvania ones and start in on some of the other elite runs.
I realize it's a bit late now but
if you use the item you make in the first couple steps you become invulnerable to her power. Use it when she says something like "Things are going to get a bit gory" and it'll last until she's done. It has unlimited charges and the cooldown is about the same length as her power lasts.

I heard they nerfed this dungeon a bit but I would be down to run it again. I wanted to experiment with a couple of changes in my tanking build and I still need the sword and pistols.
I'll be on around 6 PM but I'm only good for a run or two because I have dinner plans at 8. I'm going to put in a good bit of time this weekend though if anyone wants to run that or the Egypt dungeons.

I'll definitely be interested in the Egypt dungeons if I'm on at the time. I've yet to run them.
The Transylvania investigation issue mission is throwing me for a loop. Still working on my research for it. This is why I fucking love this game. It feels like a proper adventure game. Knowledge is power people.

Good question, I hope so but doubt it.
Welp...Guess I better hold on from doing anything then (just arrived in Transylvania).
I would think re-doing quests should count for that total. I plan on just rerunning Kingsmouth to knock out the 30.

Yep, there's a lot of easy short side missions in there. It might be tough to remember which ones tho.

Took me a while to get into it but i'm really enjoying it now. Too bad I wasted almost the entirety of my free month playing other games. Illuminati-GAF send Vandravin an invite.

YES!
Notice: If you have any existing custom tabs you may need to recreate those custom tabs for the hotfix to work correctly.
Ok, I gotta say.. riding the rollercoaster in the theme park on the Savage Coast kinda freaked me out!
I am glad to hear they hotfixed the chat tabs. Hopefully the marketplace issue of sold items still being shown for sale is fixed next. I couldn't buy any of the blades I wanted last night.
