Season 2 :)

[Zennith]

I'm very pro-seasons, very pro Once Human.

What the duck is this exclusive locked content behind different servers? I thought we would be opening a new area with the next season but it states it's still the eastern part of nalcott?

What is "sign up"? Why do I sign up instead of just joining the server? What is the point of this?

Why are the server tags beneficial to specific playstyles? "Power surge is empowered on this scenario" Why are you hindering player choice dependant on what server they "Sign up" for?

Why is the wish machine getting exclusive unlocks per server? Do you expect me to play all different servers for all the unlocks? (Thinking about it now, it might be a interesting way to farm starchrom.) (EDIT: I would be fine if it was a difference between PVP and PVE, but it's different PVE servers with exclusive unlocks.)

What are you thinking? I really enjoyed this game but this design philosophy MIGHT actually be a problem. A Lot of people are expecting a new landscape and a different portion of the map to be the starting point.

For those of you that don't know, the new season servers are up for "Sign ups" whatever that means, go check them out, let me know what you think. This is very, very unusual imo.

Different Servers are on slightly different Season Schedules if I understand things correctly. Not entirely clear on this yet but that is my impression.

Starchrom is not shared across multiple characters. Only thing shared across multiple characters is cosmetics you purchase with real money.

not bashing the game / devs but this should have been properly explained prior to today - everyone is confused

I have a strong sense we are in a Beta+1 state. It will be another year or more before this game can be clearly 'understood'.

I get that, just not sure if that's a good enough reason to do sign ups?

It was very clearly stated you keep starchrom though? Wasn't it? Am I going crazy? I'm pretty sure they said you keep all important currency including starchrom, marks, and sproutlets. If it doesn't keep between characters, then it wouldn't carry over to new servers.

I feel like they explained the new season and how new seasons will work very clearly... They left out a lot it seems however.

Indeed, its very confusing, now we have 2 different PVE Servers with their own difficult, Novice and Hard, on top of that we have 2 different Server Types with different exclusive "drops" or rewards, idk how to say, why are the Devs making this all so complicated, I´m more concerned finding Groups for Silos and Monoliths in the future, they said they are working on more different Scenarios, perhaps we even get a Nightmare difficult Server besides Novice and Hard, jesus christ xD

I'm really not sure what they're thinking with this one. Between Eternaland, server signups with no clear opening date (that I could find, I only hear from other players wide ranges of numbers/dates), exclusive content, pushing you into a specific build for each different server, different difficulties *Edit*: Nothing wrong with different difficulties, as the person below me states choices is nice, but they're taking away choice with empowering specific builds as theres only 1 hard difficulty server while saying "This does better on this server than other character builds". Same map, same deviants...

I don't know anymore, I don't know if I like this at all.

So you think having choices is confusing? LOL

That's all they are. They are giving you choices. Then in October another choice. It is not hard to understand but you are making it hard on yourself.

i was expecting some new deviants, was hoping for at least one new area of the map to be playable (i guess that's what will be releasing in Sept/Oct)

Seems we just get hard mode - which don't get me wrong that is cool and i've wanted that, but is that all that is going to be different? (other than the seemingly out of place server modifiers)

Presently yes. But there will be more choices to come.

We wont see a new area opened up until October. PVP servers get a new 'scenario' which from what I can gather puts more emphasis on team work. PVE servers just get a normal and hard mode, same map, same everything really, just more challenging.
Anyone expecting new map areas has not been keeping up with the information available.

[DTM]

hence me using the word "hoping" regarding at least one new area of the map being unlocked :p

This kind of sucks...I think. I assume theres a way to completely change your hair style, gender, etc? Otherwise, yes this really sucks.

Agree, 100%. And they have made attempts to explain this clearly, and have, since launch... but they still omit immense amounts of information.

Are controllers carried over? I dont see this noted anywhere, they just say "blueprints, frags, blah blah, and more". No, we need a comprehensive list.

How do we access the carry over resources and items? Do wehave to do anything on the current server in order to access them on the new one? Do our mods need to go to eternal land first before we can bring them to new one? Or do they just organically and automatically come over when I log into the new server for the first time? Not explained clearly.

If they want to have this obtuse server/scenario system where different servers and scenarios are spinning up and random intervals where certain things carry over, certain things dont, they should have a) been CRYSTAL clear from the start, b) give us a COMPREHENSIVE list of every item that comes over, c) tell us the point to item ratio for resources like acid or ingots, weapons and armor, to bring from eternal land.

Its main problem - "A Lot of people are expecting a new landscape and a different portion of the map to be the starting point."
Expecting... - All the information is already there! Maybe should just read it
