Author: marchube | Posted: 06.06.2012Imagine if the modern world is filled with mystical, legendary monsters that were expected to only exist in the fantasy world. Such world exists in the game called The Secret World, published by Funcom Productions A/S and Electronic Arts Inc. The Secret World is an upcoming MMORPG, which is based in the contemporary world filled with demons, zombies, vampires, and many other monsters from ancient mythologies. In this game, there is no classes nor levels, however, the game provides numerous options for players to customize their characters to wear desired clothing, use favorite weapons, and suitable abilities.
One of the allowable customizations given to all players is the freedom to alter the clothing of the characters. In http://www.secretworldguide.org/, clothing is a type of fashion. It does not have any influence on the players' durability nor abilities. Thus, players can enjoy the cosmetic fashion in the game. Players receive clothing through various ways such as by completing missions, achievements, skill wheel templates, or by purchasing in the game stores. There are five slots for clothing: back, chest, head, leg, and shoes. Currently, only restriction in clothing is when the players participate in PvP. Players are required to wear a designed uniform that would distinguish the players from different societies and factions during PvP combat.
Another numerous options that The Secret World offers to the players is the diverge range of weapons for combat. There are three main classifications of weapons: melee, ranged, and magic. There are melee weapons such as hammers, blades, and fist weapons for man-to-man combat. Ranged weapons, such as assault rifles, pistols, and shotguns, which targets the enemy from a greater distance than hand-to-hand. Lastly, players may choose to learn magical spells. The magic types are divided into elementalism, blood magic, and chaos. Players are free to train as many weapon types as one wishes throughout the game using their anima points. However, the characters may choose only two active weapons at a time. For example, a player may have learned how to use blades, assault rifles, blood magic, and shotguns. Then, players must choose to equip two of those four weapon types as their active weapons for combat such as blades and blood magic. Players are free to swap weapons at any given time as long as the player is in non-combat situation in the game.
In http://www.thesecretworldguides.com/, there is an user interface called Ability Wheel. It is a circular graph that allows players to spend ability points and skill points to purchase and improve abilities. Players' abilities are located in cells which each cells contains seven related abilities. Thus, there are more than 500 abilities to choose from. The Secret World offers players to purchase as many abilities as they want. However, they can only equip fourteen abilities at a time: seven active and seven passive abilities. Active abilities are abilities that are triggered by pushing buttons or clicking the mouse. Most of the active abilities have a cool-down period. Passive abilities are abilities that are always active on the player while equipped. There is also an "elite ability" at every seventh ability in a cell. It is a strongest ability within the category, and so, only one active and one passive elite abilities can be equipped at one time. Players of The Secret World may choose to customize their abilities by choosing which of these ability types they want to learn and equip for combat.
The Secret World has given countless options for players to customize their own characters. Players are now able to distinguish oneself from the others in fashion, use of different weapons, and combinations of various abilities for combat.
