You have to "sign up" to play in the new season?

[Revolution]

I don't understand what the devs are doing with seasons and, to be honest, I'm starting not to care but this "season sign up" thing just seems bizarre to me. Are we signing up to play the new season on our original server? are we signing up to play the new season on a new server? I'm on PVE1 - 02, will I be on PVE1-02 after this change?
It honestly feels like there is no plan here, just devs in a meeting spit balling ways to handle seasons and servers and cosmetics and "eternaland" and going with whatever gets the most votes. I'm going to give this "new season" thing a try, but Lord help me, if its as chaotic as the communication about it has been, I'm out.

Once a Server hits Phase 6. It has 4 weeks then the server is being Deleted.

You have the choice to Sign up to a new Server. Or wait out the 4 weeks and Sign up later.

What matters is your Character not the Server.

Probably signing up to giving the ccp our personal data.

What matters "to you". Will you be on the same server as your friends? will Hives move together onto the same server? Given the slipshod way social functionality has been handled so far, I'm not so sure.
This game is fantastic, but its being handled like these devs have never been a part of a post-production game dev team before, which is troubling.

We have your personal data, and we know about the foot stuff.

If you all choose the same server you will be on the same as your Friends/Hive.
Now even if it gets full there is Friend codes.

Also all Dungeons/Bosses have Cross-server teams.

Probably, since in that 4 week a lot will leave, it's better find the new fresh one with the new season to get early the best spot in game to place the base. Someone don't have a life outside the game, so they will start race to grab them, you know, for streaming profits xD

How do you know this? I didn't see anything posted about it. Is it just what you think makes sense? Because the dev team does things that don't make sense all the time. Will we have to recreate our Hives? If the social connection functionality is erased and we are required to rebuild it every 6 weeks what good is it? This isn't POE, this is essentially an MMO, without the long term stability.

No one in comments here seems to know what they are talking about.

If you simply click on the sign up from your menu while on your main character, it asks what server you want to join. Pick something harder than you did before or pick the new Prisma server. Its recommended that if you want to join up with a friend thats been playing in another server, take this time to join them on a server they are also joining so that you or your friend doesn't have to restart progress with blueprint upgrading.

When you go into new server after sign up, all your Important stuff THAT MATTERS will go with you, like Blueprints etc. All your other stuff will go to a separate Eternaland bag (I mean EVERYTHING) where you have limited points to pull those items into the new server (by the way its plenty of points to bring your higher tier Deviants with you as well) all your Lv1/1 deviants are trash anyway so don't bother bringing them. Recommend bringing a chainsaw and drill with you and that's pretty much it.
I just played through season 1 twice. The first time was Novice and 2nd playthrough was on Normal. They add new enemies to each town and in Hard and Pro Silos. because of these new enemies with resistances they changed the Cradle choices so you can do damage to certain types of resistant enemies. Obviously these enemies drop slightly better rewards than normal so its worth equipping those cradle options. Not to mention the other cradle options are better than in a Novice server.

These server sign ups ARE VERY WELCOMED because you literally run out of things to do on each Phase set/Server. for example each prime war only pays Starcrom once so to me, its not worth running each one more than once. After phase six and you purchased your starcrom with the half mil energy thats usually easy to attain... Thats it, you move on to another server sign up to go for more starcrom and soon season 2 will open up with whole new set of quests and story.

PS. on your second playthrough of season 1 you dont have to repeat side quests. You just approach the npc and they pay out the original rewards again without having to play the quest through. Because of this you reach level 50 in just a few days if that. If you managed to carry over a chainsaw/drill from eternaland then acquiring material is trivial and quick. What took us like 4 weeks on first playthrough we did in just a couple days on the second playthrough only we came out with a ton more Starcrom for upgrading BPs

This is correct. You are just picking the server you want to go to. Reserving your spot, so to speak. Then if the server isn't available already (in Season 1 there was a 24 hour wait period after signups) you click to join the server once it's available.

Just jumping in to say that being critical of an authoritarian political party is not racism. Its well known that the CCP does in fact try to get data from internet services run by companies in China. Whether thats the case here is up for debate, but the comment above isnt without merit.

you just sound stupid, and i bet you also don't read the terms and condition when you click accept either. I'm willing to bet anything your personal data is all over the world and nobody cares.
