If something AGS should learn about Lost Ark it would be to bind some things on account, not on character only.
All the things i’ve mentioned requires a lot of time and dedication, something you have spent a lot of money and time and you wouldn’t like to do it again.
You would incentivize people playing on different servers, you would be able to do league servers or simply start new servers without having to worry about those things.
You should find the best way to LOCK all those abilities until you are level 60, so you would level same way as everyone with normal weapons skills and normal crafting skills but once you reach level 60 you get all unlocked with the max level you got in any character of this account.
We can smell the fresh servers intented to revamp NW population, and i would like to have the best experience available.
Thanks for your time.
P.S. You have trophies binded on account and you have skins binded on account, so it’s not something you can’t do it.
The game is not Lost Ark nor PoE. There should be no reason to have a second character, all progression is already “account bound” as you can play one character and unlock everything.
Seasonal server is not something I find attractive, I even dispite it. You can easly add temporary content on top of the base game and have the same “fresh” feeling.
Like you said yourself, I do not want to regrind everything I already did.
Don’t you know we will have fresh servers (almost guaranteed) in some time?
Do you want to do all this things again?
This is the reason why i want it this way. When fresh servers come, the old ones will fall their population, and who wouldn’t like to start again with those grindy activities already done?
What would be the point of a Fresh server if you get everything you have done on previous servers right there ready and waiting for you to hit lvl 60? I literally see no reason to just re-level from 1 to 60 again when once you hit level 60 everything is gonna be the same as it used to be?
Seriously the trade skill system needs some reworks in terms of ability a single character to master X number of trade skills. The current system that allows everyone to be 200+ on every single trade skill in the game is just silly. Where is the identity as a player in this game? If everyone is everything, all weapons, all classes, all trade skills… What differs us one from another? Cosmetics?
The only circumstance I see that Fresh server would be appropriate to exist is to have one AFTER they fix all the non-sense that game currency offers. E.g. class balance, trade skill system balance, Territory ownership balance, Wars balance etc. Without fixing the current issues the game has, it’s absolutely pointless to run a new server from scratch.
Yes we do. But I do not agree that trade skills should transfer over from past servers into Fresh ones. It makes no sense despite you hate to level them again… The truth is you ain’t going to level them again … You are going to level them for the first time in the New server. Trading skills/Crafting skills all the process including leveling from the very bottom is key part of the in-game economy. If you skip the leveling part economy it’s going to suffer a lot. All these things that are part of whatever system’s progression are vital for the economy. If you personally do not want to do all these things all over again … Just don’t start over on New server and play on the old ones?
New server without fixed issues from the past servers would not lead to fixing NW population. It would actually backfire and make even more people quit. Because back in the days when we were encountering issues we just found out about it was okay. We had faith they would be fixed and we continued playing believing in this.
If you however start a new server with all existing exploits, bugs, issues that current game state has… people aren’t just going to having to find about them … We would know about the issues from day 1 and that will force the majority of players to play around beneficial issues right off the bat. Which will result in more issues, weird economy states etc which would potentially annoy players other than bringing new ones.
Whatever they want to make fresh server or not does not mean I agree with it. Fresh server will invalidate all the progress people made which is one of the worst thing you can do in a MMORPG in my opinion.
No, I do not want to do that.
Like @BobsynS said, there is no point in a fresh server if you are going to have everything.
