Are you excited for 21 January fresh start pvp servers?

[Bors]

I am very excited yet i have no idea of the state of pvp. Is ranged still brokenly OP?

[xyz]

It will be dead in two days.

[Lexinator]

Not at all. I have multiple max level characters, including one on XBOX. I have 0 desire to repeat the process once again, especially with how useless crafting is in its current state.

On the upside, this will finally expose how broken PvP is, so we should see a few more long time exploits get nerfed.

[Teladi]

Lol no.

I would have prefer new pvp modes, useful rewards, balance, the nerf of the ranger meta, the removal of aim assist, the fix to melee tracking, the rework of medium armor (80% plays only light), the rework to immortal healers/ paladin etc, the fix to matchmaking (games are still unbalanced and they end 1000 vs 130), and etc.

What's the point to split population in more servers if pvp still sucks?

If in the new pvp zone already the people go in premade and AGS can't do nothing about it, imagine how fun will be in the pvp server solo play.

[yveH]

They literally just keep re-releasing the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over again. That's how AGS handles "content".

[Darth Revan]

i dont do pvp so no, not particularly

i am more excited for next season pass start and only bother with pvp server if we get a 5th char slot to equip a new hairstyle and that will become my second freshstart pve toon after end of next season and need to decide between a second covenant or second syndicate toon.
very likely will progress the season pass first with my
already existing 4 toons and wait for the barbershop instead of bothering with forced pvp in the starting zones.
stil very limited hints about other new contend also may become available that will last.

No. Fresh servers never be a good choice.

Just want MM in M3 and get Godfred.

I didn't play recently, what changes for crafting for being useless ?

They made it so you can no longer craft max gear score items.

Basically made them PvP, Well, or single raid drops only. Moreover, the PvP+Well rewards are random, so they are useless 99% of the time. Best bet is running Gorgon over and over again. Very, very boring.

Not at all... AGS lost their mind

[Rex Smashington]

AGS wants the 980,000 players that left back. They don't care about the 10k left still playing. If they don't get a population jump with the PVP servers the game is getting cancelled. It's that simple. They're not going to continue paying the operating and development costs of the one of the most expensive MMOs in history for 10k people.

Naw game had its 2nd chance and blew it again wont be a 3rd...pvp servers just be toxic to the point of lawsuits so yea never work..

Do you know how the system for launching a title on consoles works? Are you familiar with the legislation in each country required to publish a game? If AGS has spent years developing the game for consoles and released it, it’s because they presented a proposal and a roadmap to Sony and Microsoft, which involves contracts to keep the title active for years. Otherwise, it would mean millions of refunds to millions of customers and the end of AGS.

No. AGS don’t want 900K.

This is not the case. You only have to look at the 2025 roadmap to realize that AGS is only interested in keeping its most regular players. After all, there's nothing in the proposed lists to make former players want to come back and play the game...

Split more already dead servers - its not good idea
