I have no issues with opinions on wipes, but when people start saying they speak for the rest of us I take issue with that. I, a 34 year old adult, can barely speak for myself in a drive-thru and folks who’ve tried helping generally end up in hospice after the ordeal.
I have a solution, an easy one. Ask for something realistic, stop aiming for the popular kid and ask out the one that’s kinda cute, but you think they might into paint.
Why do you need a “full wipe” when we play on realms (servers)? Ask for AGS to make new ones after the merges to allow willing participants to engage in a self-wipe.
You get what you want, we get what we want, and no one gets hurt. We already know they have the capacity, especially after the merges occur in the near future.
Only trouble is, at what point did the current track record on display even hint that they’re capable of delivering that without any issues in a time frame that matters?
Honestly just wish they’d get on with fixing the game. I look back at the… what… 5 days? Maybe 14? At most 20 days where we had really bad queueing and the enraged demands from players here for more servers, server transfers and all of the nonsense we’re facing now (empty servers, merges incoming) will take a huge amount of dev hours. And for what?
So we could play a bit more in the first couple weeks of the game?
It’s all knee-jerk and it’s not resulting in a whole bunch of game getting better and the way these dupes are being handled is just more of the same. Sorry for the derail. I like your idea. I just think you’re naiive for thinking it’s even remotely sensible right now.
They just need to fix the game, let us get on the server we want, merge them all and get the hell on with improving the huge list of issues (many of which have been created after launch). The noise over wipes is irritating. And it’s not going to solve anything.
I believe WOW is a great example of no matter how long it takes, if the game is good enough, people will want a refresh/reset/classic.
I completely agree with your sentiment and that is what I want. My post is aimed at people who are asking for the world, when a solution could be achieved with much less effort.
Moot point: Exactly what I’m getting at. They’re asking for something that won’t realistically happen for years.
Seasonal servers, I’d LOVE to see them. Moba games add crazy modes for fun, one day a LONG TIME from now maybe we could have a few yearly wiped servers, invasion badland servers, and servers with a new mix of factions.
The test server handles this on a limited basis, but I’d love to see the devs have some fun once they have enough time to understand the word again.
