This is not confirmed. And you just got someone fired probably. Nice work.
Almost like those who grinded crafting skills to make themselves the best armor. If they’re going to not allow us to utilize the armor we crafted I say ruin it for everyone then. Reset watermark!

I did not spend 600+ hours grinding my gear to 600gs to have it reset.
Congratulations! 
I did not spend 500 hours grinding all my crafting skills to have the gear I made become useless.
Reset watermark or let crafters have their gear scale based on their crafting skill.

This is just like the Mini-Map nonsense. Cannot trust anything said in live chat. Needs an official response from a Dev.
I don’t see Watermark being reset - there is no need to since they are not changing the system, simply renaming it and adding an indicator. it all works the same.
The only reason for a reset was if they were actually changing the system and due to crappy coding it was too difficult to ‘transfer’ existing progress. Since that is not happening I find it unlikely a reset is coming.
Honestly this is the icing on the cake if they do this shit. I’ve already put in a few hundred hours I will have no problem uninstalling not looking back at this joke of a dev team. You are persistently screwing over the vast majority of your player base. Do you guys even play your game?
Come on AGS make my day tell us HWM is gonna be reset
Congratulations!

Yup, uninstall inevitable. They just pump out any piece of shit these days. Cash grab
All this dev team continues to do is smash this game into oblivion
I believe that’s not right, the expertise can be your current watermark.
honestly this is my first idea after reading through the patch note. im thinking to myself oh they are going to reset the watermark. dunno where i get that vibe. When i really think about it, prob they wont do it, cause i cant imagine anyone who went through that shit WM system will not rage quit insta if they really do it. although weirdly enough, i think its good for the game in long term.
at somepoint, when they really finished the game, a wipe would somehow be needed for the health of the game, or else the distance between fresh max level player and ones finished THE GRIND will haunt the game endlessly.
Sorry for any confusion. I have let the support team know that what was communicated in the support conversation above is incorrect.
Progression will not be reset. Any High Watermark you had earned will be converted to Expertise.

I’m awesome!
Thank you for the clarification. Should likely even be a separate post. Good news regardless.

Thank you for the clarification, this is good news. But please go back to your team and let them know scaling people’s gear down based on Expertise will lose you too many players. And I’m talking about players that actually are sticking with this game and supporting you despite all the launch issues. You can do this when you release future content, when you raise GS. But it’s too late to be doing that right now.
Changing High Watermark to Expertise and showing us what our Expertise is per slot is good. Artificially downscaling everybody’s gear and making people’s purchased & crafted gear worth less is very very bad.
Will crafters expertise scale based on their crafting ability or are we just getting the middle finger? I spent more time doing that than people zerging chest runs.
