Turning the idea of fsw into seasonal varied play

[hidden hare]

Just an idea that Fresh start worlds as a concept leads incredibly well into a similar seasonal style to games like path of exile (but not the same, we obviously dont want content limited to FSW), with varied modes of play on rotation. It would likely serve to keep the restarts reasonably fresh each time, and always an exciting experience.

For example, Darkscape as a few month experience would be great, as would Deadman Mode. Those are just PvP examples, but theres a lot of potential for alternate PvE modes, different ways to earn experience, region locks, limited inventory, ect.

In my opinion, theres a lot of potential for shorter, very different experiences that different portions of the playerbase might be interested in (because not everything will click for everyone). Im sure the devs/community can decide much better than i on fresh ideas to try out.

Something like OSRS' leagues?

[hidden hare]

yeah, basically. though OSRS does primarily PvP stuff, right?

i figure theres a lot of potential to cater to everyone, and try PvP as well. but rs3 seems mostly into PvM.

Honestly, it still baffles me that Darkscape wasn't made a new minigame.

The PvP gamemode for OSRS is Deadman mode. Leagues is mainly just a different way to play the main game, and they are pretty fun.

Yeah. Theres no reason fsw seasons couldn't all have a different sort of gimmick. I imagine they could all have the option of playing vanilla at the same time, without leaderboards or something as well, for the new players if thats needed.

Id love to see why people dislike the idea, instead of just downvoting. There are always counter points.

It's probable that people don't want FSW a la having to have a second account with membership to get any of the rewards

Love this idea. Would be awesome if your currently subscribed account could just create a new character on the FSW Seasonal server every time it resets/ends! It would be your normal username / account - but just logged into the FSW.

That might work going forward, since they were able to make a beta world for testing the FSOA changes, they could potentially adapt that into worlds for other limited time game modes.

[outer elm]

Exactly. This is the perfect example!!

If it’s pvp it’s trash and I want nothing to do with it. On a separate note if I can share my active membership with this new “league type account” rather than having to pull 100s of mills on bonds or find spare funds irl on tight budgets. I’m done for this fsw was done dirty imo New account+ separate paid membership for 3-4 months

Doesnt need to be, and shouldnt always be anything. Cant hate on the possibility of it being PvP, when its not expected for everyone to like everything.

Id probably dislike an exp grind competition, but id still be positive about it existing. There some be different things on rotation for different people to enjoy.

[cinder gull]

I like this idea, because I really don't want to have to deal with making a second account every time they have this

[hidden hare]

i think the original idea with FSW was that it was to be a new way for people to make an account and catch up though, not for people to play alternatively to their mains. though they did anyways for cosmetics

[manic tendon]

It can be both, and to be honest you're not gonna stop peeps from doing that.
