unfortunately, unless they change their minds, when you load the game up, it mentions in big bold text that early access account will not be reset upon full launch, which is just moronic. It's not even a closed beta, it's just early access. Anyone can jump online now so the fact they are not resetting accounts is pathetic
@@DBProds96 People mistook the "full launch" timestamp as the open beta launch on the 6th. So they thought this disclaimer dated to the 2-week closed access period.
This does not set a good image for this Andrew Gower person and his company at all. This is a horrible decision if it is true and shows favoritism. That favoritism will show in way more aspects than a week or two head start. It's also not acceptable when it comes to the economy, the select few will have a HUGE control on the economy with loads of currency and materials to flood it. I don't like that at all. These beta testers already have a huge advantage knowing the systems and gameplay loop, to give them not only that, but to let them get no competition of higher tier items is ridiculous and it is definitely a turn-off for someone who has never played this guy's games before.
My biggest issue with the potential lack of reset is high scores integrity. While long term some people having a 60-100 hour head start isn't that big a deal, it makes the first month leaderboards pointless as anyone with beta access who intends to go for leaderboard will automatically have it.

Pretty cool of you to do, BSC. I know it's a pretty controversial subject right now. I have heard from other CBT that they won't be resetting, but we'll have to see.
Really hoping to see a reset. I really like your perspective, you seem to have a lot of integrity. As a guy who will be extremely competitive, I must say that I will survive either way :) Lots of respect for ya, thanks for making so much cool content ahead of the game, been following you since the first drop in April. Gonna be streaming myself on twitch for 24hrs, hope to see a lively release. Cheers everyone!!
Respect for personally being willing to start from scratch even if not forced to for the sake of integrity. You earned my sub. I can't wait to see more videos from you.
When does late access begin? I know it is 2024-11-06, but what time? *Edit:* Steam says approximately 9 hours from now (07:10 PM ET), so that would be 12:00 AM PT, 03:00 AM ET.
@benjaminj8642 - If beta progress is not reset, than us normal folk are getti g late access while the beta folk got true early access. It's just a knock to the content of the video.
@@kibby3164 - Someone said 05:00 AM ET, but Steam says approximately 8 hours now, so that would be either 03:00 AM ET or 04:00 AM ET and 03:00 AM ET lines up better. I'll check Steam again around 08:55 PM ET and 09:00 PM ET and see if it changes to approximately 7 hours.
@brandonmunsen6035 The point is to see who has the least life to live outside of a game. But without a reset, I'd just assume they all had the 2-werk headstart
why would this rumor not be squashed or confirmed immediately. What is this. My confidence in this project is less just by the existence of this issue lol
It should be reset, but either way the hiscores aren't going to show the truly great players. Just like every other game, the overgrown children with no responsibility and the ones that don't work are going to have that huge edge, but it's probably the ones that go to work everyday that are much more efficient.
That's a complete misnomer. Usually, people who play a ton of something also play it efficiently, because that's the best way to amplify the efficiency edge.
it probably wont matter lad, the thing comes out tomorrow right? it doesnt seem hugely competitive. i dont know if that would mean that it would make people with a hard start not be able to match in the different world node thingies you know what i mean
I hate this argument of 'it doesn't matter' so much. If it doesn't matter so much why not just reset the fucking accounts? This is just a completely braindead decision no matter how you slice things if it's true.
Really sucks content creators who worked hard enough to get into the beta are being talked badly about bc other people are jealous or so obsessed with a leaderboard. The beta was like a week long get over it! The game isn’t finished so it’ll be easy for people to “catch up” quickly if they wanted to. Ugh!
@@repo1987 I can reverse this by saying? Why does people have to restart their characters because you have to turn everything into a measuring stick? See, This is not an issue. Dude shouldn’t have to restart for no reason. There nothing wrong with it.
Alot of the hype over new mmo's is that its a brand new fresh competitive ground for grinders and players. Beta testers keeping progress completely invalidates that.
@@BrotherO4 but it was CLOSED beta? and only very few people got to play, so its not fair on the people that join when its OPEN? Whats so difficult to understand
@@repo1987 Its what. Five people ? Everyone is an ironman and there are just few skills available. They have a massive advantage anyway even without the reset. Since they have the knowledge that everyone else will have to figure out tomorrow.
@ like other games do they give content creators access or beta players and tell them not to release til a few days before or the day before depending on the company
What kind of dumb rumor. There is no way any dev would allow a game to launch with closed beta progress remaining.
Cap

For real. How am I supposed to show everyone in brighter shores that I have no life and I sit at my computer all day. Dang it!!
No dev with a brain would keep beta progress for 1.0 launch
I dont think andrew and co are that stupid, obvs when leaderboards are out the closed beta chars wont be on it. Simples

I personally don’t care. I feel like it’s not going to hinder my experience
This would be a sure fire way to alienate the competitive community right from the start. I hope Andrew and his team have more common sense than this.

Not long till the game is out, I have enjoyed your updates on the development of this game, Cheers!
As someone looking forward to playing Brighter Shores for the first time, I hereby delcare that I will be starting FRESH with a BRAND NEW account
Anyways I’m headed to bed so I can be up at 5 for the release tomorrow! Can’t wait to watch your gameplay videos and guides 🤗❤️🔥
Hey been following this game/your channel since you launched it. GL and hf tomorrow and to everyone else!

It would be a shame if they don't start everyone fresh. Kudos for going in on a new account.
People need to calm down and play games for fun.
They should use this as a chance to test their ability to rollback accounts in preparation for if someone discovers a dupe after release.
Did the reset end up happening or not?

*Edit:* Steam says approximately 9 hours from now (07:10 PM ET), so that would be 12:00 AM PT, 03:00 AM ET.
Late access? The game releases at 5:00 AM EST start time, no clue what you mean by late access.

Does anyone know what time it releases?
10am here in the UK
do you know what time it gets going?
10am here in UK
10am UK release and 4-5am central time 💀 I rather sleep and play it at a normal time
If there's no reset before EA launch, then I will just ignore the leaderboards. They'd be pointless.
They always were.
@brandonmunsen6035 The point is to see who has the least life to live outside of a game. But without a reset, I'd just assume they all had the 2-werk headstart
I doubt it will change this type of game much, we wont have trading or pvp for awhile anyway
I would but I dont wanna lose my Names lol. To be fair I didnt play it much. I just started Act 2.
I am pretty sure that Andrew said it would wipe, that would suck if it did not though tbh
why would this rumor not be squashed or confirmed immediately. What is this. My confidence in this project is less just by the existence of this issue lol
This is the way
yall complaining about early access getting reset is pathetic, its a game, play it, enjoy it, or go rub one out to the latest settled video
?

Cheer up son. You sound so depressed. Of course they will be reset their are leaderboards

Fearmongering at it's finest
If he doesnt reset then the game started unfair and i will just bot it. Cool move andrew giving acess to your buddies
I dont care if their character is not reset,
Literally not an issue.
Why are people even going to try to be competitive in a MMO in early access to start with.
Why not? I mean if you wanna be competitive, you obviously start playing as early as possible.
why not? Just because you don't doesnt mean others don't, should a weird comment.

Cry is free. Guess youll have to try extra hard to show everyone that you have nothing better to do.
@@brandonmunsen6035 Are you ok? You seem really weird
@@brandonmunsen6035 Literally crying because people want to put more hour into the game than you, grow up
beta bros arent ruining the highscores without killing the games potential if so...i wouldn't count on it.
kinda weird 1 day before release and no gameplay or reviewws
like you said, 1 day before release so how could there be reviews?
@ like other games do they give content creators access or beta players and tell them not to release til a few days before or the day before depending on the company
