You’re kidding right? It’s worse than ever. It’s just awful. Running the same 4 dungeons over and over and over again is NOT end game content. It’s a disgrace.
People keep saying bugs and dupers and gold merchants are why people have quit this game. They’re not. The ONE thing that has caused people to quit this game is LACK OF CONTENT. That’s it. This game has no more or less dupers or bugs than any other MMO-style game, including those with millions of players. What keeps people playing a game is new content. It’s that simple.
the truth is that the game was programmed and designed by crap. we played a permanent beta … has too many ingrained problems … ridiculous engine choice, bugs that make end game unplayable. full of bots and gold sellers … duplicate items unbalanced skills, unbalanced weapons, crafting system that verges on a second job to get some junk craft … lag desync ridiculous PvP, PvE grind fest … absurd expertise … introduction of musical instruments when the game needs several fixes. we spend more time on the forum than playing … hehehe an epic failure of AGS. I keep playing for that shit game it is … only from casual it makes no sense to invest hours of play in Bugs world all imho
and you are one of those that think BiS has little to nothing effect in PvP. a player with full ref move is always going to produse more heals then a player with little ref move.
No my dude. if you’re at or around the same GS and have basic 2 perk purples you can beat BIS geared players.
The ones that are dumping on you are the sweaty min maxers that know how to counter any ability and iframe them.
Seriously my guy, decent 2/3 gear is cheap and it’s super easy to farm enough gold to buy it in a day or two and you can get BIS accessories from pvp or drops.
and honestly if your good with a rapier, light armor, spear, or hatchet you can be. Super annoyance to kill that people won’t bother trying to stomp on you and go for the next bot mindless left clicking in OPR
What you describe there is totally exaggerated and even completely false.
The new servers are not made for the hard try that you are but for new players or players who left the game a long time ago…
It is therefore normal that for this category of players, the server that welcomes them puts them all on an equal footing.
To have another vision of this is totally absurd.
Dude, just fuck those Zoomers who have the attention span of my hamster, who instantly quit something.
Its imo hilarious those ppl think they are “SO FUCKING BEHIND ZOMG”, because imo theyre not. I made an alt and did the following steps:
lvling at this moment (without upcoming patch) is a bit tedious, but rly ez with townboards - hit 60 in no time
buy 590±2-perker gear for 25gold-2k gold each item, its rly fucking cheap → instant 550GS
run normal dungeons, preferably Genesis because its the fastest. Chest runs also work and ofc different activities to make your gypsums.
level up weapons first with gypsums, they scale the most into your GS → Im not playing much on my alt but Im almost 600GS and ready for mutations
Edit: Just to give you an idea, I healed in 2 wars with 578 and with 585 as well on my alt. And I was doing fine, didnt feel too much of a difference, even when missing some attribute points and have full purple gear.
Ppl legit coping hard, ofc some guy who played the game for like a year straight is gonna be mechanically more skilled than a guy who quit 6 months ago. Same as they cope now with the “Fresh start server”, thinking it would solve their lil issue
Well nothing wrong with that, if for whatever reason some peoples quit the game can’t blame them. The FRESH servers should be locked for a limited time anyway, lets say 2-3months, enough timenfor any newcomer to reach end game content, have a decent expertise & ready to join the veterans.
I’ve been playing since launch and I want a fresh start, so your first statement is plain bs.
I really don’t think they’ll merge the fresh servers into legacy ones, since most of the playerbase is running out of duped money and items, they wont be so dumbdumbs to bring all the playerbase to the economy hell were they escaped from.
If you don’t want a fresh start, then stay on your sever. How hard could it be?
So in PvP as healer, what do you pick on armor when weapon perks are taken. Resilience or ref move? you can agree that if one healer have full res he is more surv then the healer without. Same with ref move.
And what happens once people get outprogressed and raided in Rust? Exactly, they leave. Once people on the fresh start servers realize their chances to own territory or compete with more experienced players are non-existant, they leave.
Assuming it is cheap or easy to maintain a server when AGS struggles with live as is.
Dupes are out of the game or not valuable because of updates. Inflation is in every game. Year old gear not being bis is not a bug or something to fix. You play the game for gear its easy.
Wasting resources matters if you want the game as a whole to get better. Resources are finite and AGS has been pretty transparent about that.
I am expecting “fresh fresh start servers please!” to start popping up after two weeks with the full wipe requests to follow shortly after.
I hope AGS learns their lesson about this without the game falling apart.
You cant get raided in New World, you wont lose your items and progress, it’ll just build up depending on your hours played, also according to the devs, they’ll fix the faction problem where some clans get ultra rich, i just hope its before the fresh servers!
If there is a new server, there will be a stampede and I don’t think the servers can handle it.
Also, players don’t want new servers to be opened because they won’t be able to rule on them. I can’t think of any other reason guys, sorry.
If the population decreases after a while on fresh servers and you’re worried about that, be sure to AGS merge the server and it won’t be a problem again.
Im just going to highlight this because it deserves to be posted back to back honestly.
Correct. Any amount of designing a new server with new rulesets is resources spent.
Correct. Dupes are a non factor, companies make millions holding EF/WW and this is pumped back into the economy - Oh the duped items like voidbent? If anyone still thinks voidbent is good gear then they really are disconnected.
Correct. This is the part that annoys me the most. The players who never left have been here enjoying the game and waiting for updates SINCE RELEASE - now we finally get some great looking new content and the same players who left the game and probably review bombed it on steam are back… what do they do? “ME ME ME make a new server for ME please”
So do sweats simply not care about increasing the player base?
It’s obvious that Brimstone Sands alone isn’t going to create a massive influx of new/returning players. Even if it did, these new/returning players would be the ‘tourists’ who are going to ‘leave anyway’ that sweats seem to despise so much and not want as players.
So what’s the gameplan? Do the few thousand people who never put the game down intend to bankroll future content indefinitely? Amazon doesn’t make money off your game time; it makes money by getting people to buy the game.
But sweats can’t stand the idea of casuals having fun on FS servers, so they shut it down as a bad idea. Who even cares if the population eventually dwindles on the FS servers, the game has already lost 99% anyway.
You’d think that sweats would be enthusiatic about ideas that attract people to the game but all they say is ‘new players need to start on my stagnant server where no-one is running Amrine’
No shit you can’t get raided in New World. And I definitely didn’t just use it as an example to make a point. God why are some people on these forums so pedantic without adding anything of value to the conversation.
Oh look. Another combative returning player being disingenuous about what fresh servers mean.
You arent returning to the game. You are returning to YOUR game. Specifically gated off so you dont have to play the actual game with the actual playerbase.
Because your community is gated off, it will need to sustain itself.
It wont be able to do that quickly because it is entirely new with no transfers.
That means the most active players will dominate again, quickly. Right from the start.
You dont care because all the resources were spent on your enjoyment anyway.
People dont like you because you are being selfish. Do you want a definition for the word or do you want to stop playing dumb and wondering whats bothering all the “sweats”?
My only problem with fresh server is this : this is a vicious circle for AGS and create a bad precedent. How long after Thoses fresh servers we will see other topics about fresh servers because they missed the launch of Thoses of 1-2 months ago and will now DEMAND AGAIN fresh servers again ? This is a MMO , people with time and dedication will ALWAYS be ahead of others. As many said , I don’t mind AGS opening them , we will see how it goes but it’s create a bad precedent for AGS because they cater too much for the « possible 40 hours game played returning player » while they should focus on their playerbase like they doing atm.
