Belive it not, its not about me. Even that im hyped and would like to see the fresh start server came a few days earlier then the patch.
Its about the health of the game, i think this goes a long way in hurting the game. I feel like i have stated that in earlier posts.
Returning players are going to miss the once a year event.
Some might get burned out by starting over at a legacy server, staying there for 2 weeks then start over for a 3. time on the fresh server.
It would make it harder for the DEVs to balance the servers since the playerbase are going to be “unstable” and i do not think having a huge playerbase that moves around in huge numbers are good for the game/servers or the players.
some players are going to loose the hype and move on to other games that releases in the same “window”. Its easier to loose a player that is not invested in the game then a player that have invested time and maby money in the game.
Am i a idiot and you think all this is wrong @ ReadyPlayer Like i stated many times over, im not a game dev im just a player that have played games since 1990 and for me this makes little to no sense at all. But i have been wrong before and if you think all i stated here is wrong please say so and how im wrong. How do you think this is a healthy decision for the game (not for me or you, but the game in general)
Yeah the problem with this is that the ptr is oftentimes not the same build as live. And that people sometimes use it to find and test exploits and not report them.
how is that the same as missing event that is during when you are playing? I might be wrong but the event should not be over 2. nov but do you think a lvl 1 can get any meaningful things out of that event?
AGS have been hinting about fresh servers for weeks now, that combined with new and impressive patch = hype. Dont get me wrong im not going anywhere but i find it sad that we cant attend the event.
True, does this mean that you think that legacy servers should turn into test servers for FFS? We all agree that its imposible to be 100% bug free.
The changes that they are making ensure that even a casual player should be able to get a lvl 60 character within a week tops. If you load of the ptr and start a new character, you will see this.
I never stated that AGS IS treating players badly. I said if they use legacy server as test server they would treat em badly since i think that is a bad move.
This is good news, but not sure if it still enough time to get any effect out of the event but i guess time will tell
I got to 30 on PTR in a longish day. 7 hours, with occassional fresh air breaks? At least in the early levels, questing is very much a great way to level up. The later levels haven’t been modified AFAIK and 30-60 takes a lot more XP. So no, not 60 in a week if you play a couple of hours in the evening, but also not a crazy long time.
Next year will come and they will get another chance
Happens to everyone. Take a break once in awhile.
It’ll always be like that because a lot of hype people are only riding the hype-train. Once the hype-train dies down then the few diehards who stay will keep the game alive.
That will always happen. Like I said those who really enjoyed the game, like myself and alot of the veterans here, will stay and play.
idk you so idk if you’re an idiot or not. But you aren’t wrong for somethings.
Because if they release it without confidence, and it turns out to be buggy, guess what’ll populate the forums for the next 3 weeks or so? Complaints about the game, and there was craptons at the start of the game.There will always be die hard fans and those fans will stay, while hype riders will leave. That’s just how it is, and you can’t really control them, that’s how people decide.
even with event, there still a lot of people would prefer to do fresh start. putting it after the brimstone just make it awfully long. Plus fresh start with brimstone will be really high pop on each since most everyone wants to reach that map
Still missing out. So impressive event and the crafting Schematics are so good alone.
Im on a break now, not speaking for my self. I have a good time in RailGrade Transport tycoon wibes
True, but this just worsens the situation.
But how could another server be buggy? its just another server that is locked. The only thing that i can see be buggy is the patch. I have not spent alot of time on PTR since i dont like to spoil things for my self but if there is many issues/bugs then they should not release the patch before fixed. Same reason i personally is not going to invest alot of time in the game before the FSS is here
Wel, i cant speak for other players but for me it feels wrong to experience new end game content first then new early game content
It’s not the end of the world… there’s other good things to come just relax.
No it doesn’t, if people aren’t staying cuz the goalpost got moved what makes you think they’re gonna stay for long considering how much of a grind NW is…
You never know what could happen that’s why just be patient and wait for it.
They modified lvls 40-50(?)60(?) forever ago. Actually I’m pretty sure it’s half the amount of exp to get to 60 on PTR right now. I did it in a week of pretty casual play(working father of 2 w/pregnant wife). Side quests and main quest give more exp on the ptr.
Your whole argument is flawed. Your implying that fresh start servers already exist. There is no delay here. Your getting your new requested feature, jumping the line of a lot of other needed and important game features. Your lucky they didn’t make you wait a whole update for the fresh start servers to be introduced.
That said it is purely a matter of resources. The update to the current servers is the priority, period. Once that project is finished, then resources can be shifted to implementing this fast tracked feature.
Once the servers are live then all servers would be updated at the same time. Any rational person would understand that.
There is the the problem i think. I think that this make for a shift in playerbase. They make ekstra server to hold alot of players that are only there for max 2 weeks then move on to FSS. I speculate that this is going to increase the serverload and queue by alot around the 18th. But we wil see.
The same players complaining about the wait, won’t wait. They will create or play characters on live in the mean time despite not being committed to it, affecting everyone who is trying to continue with life as normal. Then on Nov 2nd, after queues finally balance out we are going to see a crap ton of ques on the fresh start servers and then when the dust settles I doubt we will have any high pop servers left across the board and players will be crying for mergers again.
Guys, I think I cracked the code what really why its after the brimstone… Other half saying, “Oh its because they can do it anyway to experience brimstone first time”, and others are like, “Time to fix the bug”. But have you guys ever played PTR? Its not really those. Its the “HALLOWEEN EVENT”. Because to participate, you need to be lvl 60, and to experience the whole event itself. Because they want us to play the event first hand. Why do you think we have 1.5xp? Before the event? So a lot of people will participate on the EVENT. Brimstone will ALWAYS be there, because its NOT permanent.
