Discussion of resetting game after fixing all the dupe exploit

COULD key word… lmao

I would lose my 3 void ore so I’m not ok with losing that. I would rather it all just fade away.

If they can’t fix it then next.

I honestly dont know. Wouldn’t be worth it now until things are resolved. I advocated for New servers let people xfer there with just faction gear XP WM and 20k or something. If they into it let them do it.

That is a reasonable idea

Eh, Im down for it, started over three times already anyways because I was impatient on server transfers.

Good bit would probably quit for a minute, but Id bet many would be back after a while.

Cant count how many times I forgot to save in sims3 and have it crash after playing 10+ hours. Rage quit but I always seem to come back and subsequently forget the autosave mod again.

It’ll be months before fresh servers are a possibility, at this rate there is no way the game is in a playable state where it’s worth re-grinding until at least March 2022 if not summer of 2022.

It’s important to remember that at the moment there isn’t much end game that players can exploit to get that far ahead.

You have voidbent, your professions and that really is about it.

The better solution is to release content that makes the current existing resources obsolete and gives the players more to do. Beyond that all the duped gold in the universe means nothing when you don’t have anything of value to spend it on

Idk why I keep seeing threads like this pop up, as if It is even remotely an option for this game. If, and they will not, but IF they wiped the servers, that would be it. Dead game 100%. The VAST majority of players would have zero desire to farm their materials again. You’re talking about throwing away all progress casual players, who make up the bulk of the player base, have made over the last month of playing the game. They would quit, plain and simple, as well as a large chunk of the committed “hardcore” players. You can’t sell anything in a dead game.

name a server. I’ll start a character and prove to you that every post above mine saying you can’t make money legit in this game is a complete lie.

I’m at 75K LEGIT gold after buying 1 large house and 2 shacks. Maxed 2.5 professions all refining and gathering.

Making money is even easier now the marekt has turned itself around and a lot of resources have value (on my server anyway)

Exactly. Ironically it’s the legit ones that are getting burned by this and the dupers will now be a larger share of the whole bunch, because in a game like this, trust is everything. If there is no trust that the tradehouse cannot just be randomly stopped to hell at primetime for gamers, what is honestly left?

no effing way. Some of us put in lots of hours, and worked hard to buy houses and build up assets in game. Go somewhere else with this communist bull

One one hand because of the dupers, a ton of gold got injected into the economy. So gold pretty much has no value. I am sure duped materials have been spread around a ton as well. So those lose value. Even if all the dupers are banned, there is still a tremendous amount of damage done.

I understand people not wanting progress wiped. On the other hand those people also need to realize, this really hurts the servers economy’s.

What’s going to be the point of gathering for anything, crafting anything, if in the end it has almost no value?

There honestly Isn’t a great answer to all of this. I fell a happy medium would be to just create some fresh start servers that cannot be transferred to after everything is fixed. So those that want it can go there, and those that don’t can stay on their servers.

lol so the people that are 1k away from buying a 20k house that earned it legit just get screwed? No, identify the problem, ban the people that exploited it (shouldn’t be hard to figure out really), fix the problem, win.

That is the case anyway because everyone can gather, can craft, it isn’t a huge money sink or grind like most games (call it a grind if you want, but this is the least grindy game ever), in the end there will be no economy anyway. With OPR on gold is easy, azoth is easy, gathering things is easy, the only thing of any value right now are t5 legendary matts, and guess what even those are going to drop pretty quickly, im up to having gathered around 60 tolvium for example myself already.

I did no exploits,I used no hacks. I tried to enjoy my game even under every negative condition. If they reset or shut down game for a while I am out.

all this talk of wipes is like saying can we re-launch please ?

NO!

there was one shot and it was fucked up!

the players that didn’t cheat should not be punished because of this.

exploiting little shits need a perma ban it’s that simple.

this is not a single player game. this is not 2009.

can you please stop.

no to wipes!

yes to perma banning the clowns that thought it was ok to cheat!

ban them by mac address.

The point is, the dupe exploit has been around since launch. Simply banning those who obviously duped, if finding them all is even possible, wont fix the integrity of the game. They bought stuff, gave stuff away and so on. The whole economy and progression of everybody is affected by this. I completely understand how wiping isnt a feasable solution to anyone. But AGS screwed up, screwed up big. At this point its more about how they can possibly salvage the situation, there is no good solution left.
