I hate tieflings anyways. plus I wont bother picking up that sack of shit there gonna call xpack for a long long time. But feel free to keep feeding the mouths of SSG by rewarding them in exchange for poor management, I do enjoy the laughs lol

Enjoy!

So a progression server would be a roll back to max level 10?

Wouldn't it be a regression server?

Until you remembered how bored you were running the same limited number of quests for no reason.

Shroud. Tor scale runs. The same few epics everybody ran. The few raids that people ran.

No thanks.

It doesn’t work that way.  It’s not a roll back of systems.   You’d be playing today’s game (enhancements, classes, races, reaper, loot, crafting, etc,) just with level caps that slowly go up.

Exactly.   It probably just splits the population of the game even more than it already is.   But how does this really make sense?  So they release the server with a cap of 10.  No transfers, just new characters.   You start a 1st lifer with no loot.   Then you can run content to 10.  Can you only run the content available at the time?   Or just anything 1-10 (so slavers is an option, for example). 

If no, then what's the point?  All the original release content is massively outdated and easy and has bad loot.   So you run to 10 on a warlock/monk/sorc/artificer/rogue (take your pick) on a first lifer that is like 500k XP.   That takes all of, what, 5 hours?   Then what?   Nothing to farm really, besides collectibles and ran gen loot to level crafting.   So you go back to your regular server till they release the next update.   You can't TR yet, cause you can't get to 20.   So not much to do.

If yes, then OK.  But how is the progression server much different than playing by the pretty common hardcore/permadeath rules that people play on live right now?   I guess you just have more people doing it at once, so you can pug it vs it having to be primarily a channel/guild/static group thing.

For once, I agree with you.  This is just one more way to fracture and divide the already minimally sufficient grouping base on each server.  Not sure why, but the devs simply don't seem to be able to comprehend that they should be doing things to consolidate the playerbase, not divide them up into their own little niches until everyone is soloing.

This is the Reaper mode mistake all over again.  The idea of Reaper mode wasn't bad but the implementation left a lot to be desired.  It served to alienate the more casual players from the powergamers.

If they release a progression server, it will essentially divide the player base into 4 groups instead of the current two.  We'll have casual+non-progression, casual+progression, powergamer+non-progression and powergamer+progression. 

So Sev wasn't fired, kidnapped or whatever else the Grumbler sector wanted to fabricate stories about after all.

Color me just so surprised, haha. 

Can we start a pool on how long before some bitter complainer starts posting that he is 'leaving' again? Will they ever learn.

not even severlin would be retarded enough to start over from scratch on a brand new server which will stay dead

Players: Please give us more inventory or bank space.

SSG: Here's 12 new cosmetic cloaks!

Players: When is Thiefling going to be released so we can finally have that 2nd racial +1 str?

SSG: Here's a 3rd +1 cha!

Players: Please, please for the love of God, merge some servers. Populations are in the tank.

SSG: We're planning on making a new server to split the population even more!


It's all starting to make sense now.
