Its funny u rly think that those 2 weeks change anything? There will be Bugs there will be exploits there will be bots…What u mean “fresher”? there is PTR server to test update if its not polished so its not ready to be out.

By putting fresh servers 2 weeks later for a more smooth experience, is saying they are not sure Brimstone is ready/they expect things to go bad. So they are using the existing players again as Beta testers.

the first 3 weeks in October was the perfect time to bring new people and show them they changed, after that people will have other options and not everybody will pick to play NW. So if you ask me they will get way less new people then they could

2 weeks is a good time. They have change the mechanics behind the game. Dont compare it with the past.
Of course there will be. I never said otherwise. However you will have a better chance at a cleaner experience 2 weeks after a release.
I think it makes sense if you look at the big picture. Thats really all i have to say.

No reason to open fresh servers before territory changes. Please think.

I think I significant percentage of people upset about the date are upset because of how soon the devs started hinting at the FSS on the forums.
Now, I don’t believe it was wrong of them to proceed that way, they needed to first gauge interest, gather our questions, hopes and fears etc. so it makes sense that they did it that way. I think some people just got way emotional about it.
I myself am disappointed the date is so far but I realize I’m disappointed because I’m excited about everything. Nothing to do with AGS however, thats all on me 
I just asked for vacations 1 week after Nov 2nd so that I can jump in with (hopefully) more stable servers AND am very glad that the devs are taking the time to prep everything. ^^
All this to say, I’m super glad we finally got a date and I’m excited to get going!
aren’t territory changes already on pbe now?
I find it absolutely hilarious how you think they care in the slightest about those who stayed with them. If they would the anniversary would’ve looked way different. Or at least a public statement with appreciation to those that stayed.
They are literally finishing what they started OVER a year ago already. Brimstones was leaked like, 3 weeks after release?
The main population right now is returners and new players. You “veteran” players are already a minority of the game.
Agree tho the dates aren’t that terrible. It’s probably more to do that less people will try the game at 2nd since other titles come around that time. So they can take a relaxed approach to the potentially server stability issues. Pretty big L for the game in my book, but hey it’s a comfortable and more save approach

Legit angry people had fun. Dang dawg.
You dont get nearly as much people playing on the PTR as you do on the love servers.
Your point is moot.
Something tells me they will have some other updates with the FSS. So i’m ok with that
I agree with some of what you said, but to be fair, most of the bugs they fixed were being complained about since beta. Being a veteran player that stuck it out did not have much to do with them knowing what needed to be fixed/tweaked.
Most of the stuff they fixed that was not known about, was a result of the fixes they put in place causing other issues. So, thank you vets and bots for sticking it out.
And i think 4 weeks is to soon. Should be 6 to 8 weeks.
I just watched Demone’s video and he like others on the forum seems most upset because of his incorrect assumptions around timing not because of the actual timing.
The starting experience on the PTR was great. I think most players will enjoy it. There is no massive drama in waiting until November 2 is there?
I mean hope there is no one with a terminal illness, likely to die before November 2, who really wants to experience a fresh start server (I guess you could try out the PTR).

I personally thinks that the release date is a wise choice. As freshly returning player (last sunday)) i’m looking forward for the FSS, but i’m playing now on a regular one as my personal beta test. Trying different builds and loadout, and practicing the game again. I will play on FSS at release to see the new story, and also to see the difference between the 2 economy. One thing i’m worried is that FSS have transfer disabled, so if i don’t like the server for any reason i cannot move out. My actual character is my plan “B”. If FSS is good for me i’ll stay there, if not i will go back to play what i’m playing now. And atm the experience boost is really nice to have
Thank you for the nicely written post

where do I find these love servers? They sound better then fresh start servers
Did they say you cant transfer out? I saw you cant transfer in but nothing about out.
Here is my take.
I know people want these fresh start servers but here is what will happen if they launched with Brimstone:
Scenario:
The patch comes out. There will likely be bugs and could find a new dupe since players love trying to break the game. This dupe causes huge economy issues. These “fresh start servers” all of a sudden become compromised as well and starts out of the gate with a ruined economy. Then these people will rush to the forums whining and crying and saying “Restart the new servers so everyone is back at level 1”.
So god forbid people have to have patience a little longer to make sure Brimstone goes smoothly since it is a huge patch (biggest one to date) and fix any major issues. It will definitely be for the better.
If I actually cared about these fresh start servers I know I would prefer waiting for Brimstone to launch to make sure all the major issues etc. will be ironed out.
I do think 2 weeks though is too short after a major launch but hopefully then if any major issues happen they will get resolved in time because I know if they end up pushing those servers launch back even more then these forums will explode.
