My issue with fresh start servers is, people think they are going to be a safe haven, a “level” playing field. You guys all quit for whatever reason and now you want to play but not be at a serious disadvantage to people who never quit, so you all want fresh start servers. fair enough.I just find it incredibly silly that everyone thinks fresh start servers are going to somehow give them a fighting chance, idk the correct word but imo after the first 2-4 weeks it’s just going to be the same crap as live but on a fresh start server. All the hardcore players that know the in and outs of the game because they never quit will rise to the top and take control, the top pvp companies can just all make new characters and just control the fresh start servers like they do on live with no one to stop them. While the fresh starts will be really for fun for the first few weeks, it’s not going to stop the same vicious cycle that plauges the game that happens on live currently. I’ve also heard that the taxes changes make it extremely difficult to level up a town if all towns are t1… and since this server has no transfers, it has 0 gold to jump start the server, gl. After 2-4 weeks. Same crap different server.
A lot of posts just want to provide a reality check for people coming back thinking there won’t be bots, bugs, trading above gold cap, dominate companies, potential future dupes and exploits, very wealthy people and companies, large experience and gear differences between players, so they don’t get into the game and are like, “wait wtf”.
I certainty want them to be successful, just don’t want people having unrealistic expectations on what FSS will actually be and then just quitting.
I would love if the towns struggle to upgrade and it takes more time and effort to do it
it took a new server almost 3 weeks to get 1 town fully upgraded, with a jump started economy. fresh start servers will have a even harder time with the way pay outs are distributed for owning land now. Also every invasion will fail most likely since most players won’t be geared to take it down. I
You have people acting like a FSS is immune to the problems that affected Day 1 servers. Bots will still exists, cheaters, exploiters, pray there’s no new dupe mishap to shut down the econ again. There will still be bugs, pvp will still be unbalanced to hell, resources are about the same, gathering the same, crafting is still eh and levels 1-25 are revamped leaving 26 - 60 to be roughly the same.
It will be a honeymoon high for a few weeks just like day 1, then all the problems come crashing down on it. Then crying & quitting posts Again will spill into the forums blaming problems A - Z that still exist.
It’s not about a “downfall” rather its about being realistic with everything that was endured since day 1. The rate at which AGS fixes things which is slow. And the quality at which they fix which is usually for every 1 bug they fix there’s 10 new ones.
A FSS when levels 1 - 60 experience, balancing has a pipeline, a better structure & foundation, overall game is fully revamped would have been such a better move maybe another 3-4 years from now. But people are impatient.
FS Servers will be here tomorrow. As far as I’m concerned the incessant doom and gloom BS is simply…
The doom-and-gloomers are just envious on the one hand and feel threatened on the other. Let them stew.
yeah sure, we are going to have the same amount of gold on a FSS server 2-4 weeks in compared to legacy one year of gold grind that have in some way been affected by dupes and exploits.
No difference at all here right?
The ammount of exploits, bugs and dupes that have been fixed is one thing. The more important thing is that AGS have improved alot when it comes to handle those.
Crafting and leveling should be a easy trip now compared to when we did it at release and for all those who return its going to be FAR easier to get group for content compared to legacy server.
Sure players are going to be both ahead you and behind you but on legacy server it takes hours to get one pve run started since 99% of the players only do M10.
I think more then a few weeks. After a week players are lvl 60 and start doing end game content together. Sure there is going to be players that leavs but the more important thing is there is going to return more players then those who leaves due to fresh start server.
The game need to grow, and for it to grow we need more players comming to the game. Both new and old players. The fact is (even if you dont approve of it) is that ALOT of those players refused to come back before FSS arrived. This game have changed and improved ALOT since release and the one thing that have not improved was the servers.
“Seasons” are fun.
People like to complain.
/Thread.
Everything is going to be OK.
you really don’t think the hardcore players won’t no life the hell out of the game and take over? Gold farmers back in full force? Dominate companies on live can just go make characters on FS servers and dominate there. give it time. 2 weeks, 4, 6 servers will look no different than live.
Agreeeee
Take control of what? Debt? That’s all they’re going to have for the first several weeks a least
Anyway, you’re making assumptions about the reasons that people are coming to try the FSS. What you said is probably more accurate for some of the old players that are going to be on FSS. The returning players mostly just want to play a better version of the game than when they left.
Highly doubt but we’ll see.
ya and that’s available on live servers. its more to it than that. it will be same stuff different server. just a matter of time.
Sure they are. This is common in all mmo. But there is a difference between 1 week behind and 8 months behind.
Of course, but there are other reasons to want to start on a FSS as well.
Personally I’ve watched one 620ish dude with a musket absolutely ruin the session of a group of lvl 20somethings flagged up trying to do their mq. Can only imagine the fuckery that would happen with very large waves of new people flagging up for the exp boost lol
Don’t quit then. I don’t care that there are fresh starts,i’ll do it. I just find it ridiculous people scoff at me for being so “ahead”. “its not fair!!!”.I played, i stuck though all the issues, i road out the storm. Now the storm is finally starting to calm and everyone wants a fresh start lol. For what? nothing is gonna change for you. the hardcores are still going to no life the game and fly off into the distance just like a launch. The only thing that will have the biggest impact are the war changes coming through. More players will have access to wars. just a matter of time, be same stuff different server.
This is very true but also a issue on legacy servers and there you almost never find one at your level if you just returned to the game.
