People say everyone can start from zero again clearly have not played the game a lot. I’m not losing 800hrs just because people like yourself want to reset the game! Do you really think people like myself would put that time in again. Really think about what you’re saying. And a lot of people have way more hours than I do.
Please consider the community that have grinded since day 1.
Also just because you want to cry about the current state of the game doesn’t mean you should ruin it for the people who are actually enjoying it. If you’re not even going to play the game why spend all day replying ridiculous suggestions on the forums that have zero relevance or interest to the current player base?
The new player base and fresh Level 60s are pretty much in a shoddy spot. In order for mutators you need a specific gear score or else get carried. Most players are tired of the elite trains etc etc and only do dungeons now to get umbral
I get it, with 800+ hours in the game I can absolutely understand where you’re coming from.
However, if they opened a set of servers that could not be transferred to - that everyone had to start on at L1 - I could see people going to them. Imagine servers where:
there had not been gold/item dupes trashing the economy
where there had not been a massive gold giveaway to settlement owners that resulted in some companies raking in 2m gold a week, allowing them to buy their way to BiS
where crafting no longer had the huge gulf between those who ground out 200 early and those who got left behind by the massive nerf to that system
where mutation drops were at a set pace instead of the newly reported drop nerfs that once again created a gap between early mutation grinders and everyone else
where OPR is in its newly planned state
where there is a far more level playing field than the one the exists on our current servers
I am pushing 1,000 hours so believe me the idea of starting at level 1 again will piss me off.
I have mixed feelings about restarting.
The Players also had a hand in destroying the Econ, setting it on fire, and then spraying lighter fluid on it even without dupes.
Your second point is probably the few reasons I’d tolerate restarting.
I like the grind and am very hardcore on farming so I didn’t find the system to be oppressive. Just annoying.
I have to finish helping my guild get to a decent Gs because mutations just like end game dungeons are gated by players with coin gates. I refuse to pay 2.5k to play a dungeon. That includes mutations. Even if we restart, it won’t stop players from doing it again.
If they add a Group finder for dungeons I would happily restart.
Without real rewards, progression and the removal of PvE gear influence, a newly planned opr still won’t be fun.
I want separation of PvE & PvP.
Like for the sake of having a secondary Acc I’ll make a new level 1 in that kind of setting.
But there’s more than just what you listed that gets in the way n it usually comes from players themselves so even if we get all those things no guarantee players won’t trash it.
All it takes is 1 heal n there will be total anarchy in those new servers xD\
Granted I have like 40 characters made in another MMO all maxed to L99 so I really can’t be too against restarting >,…>
But I like the idea of servers where there could be as level a playing field as possible. I don’t, at all, like the idea of an actual across the board reset.
I’m not at your level, but I’ve certainly had games where I made multiple max-level characters.
servers stay up, population dwindles, game dies before end of year
servers go down, they address tax/economy issues and everything else, game comes back online with fresh servers this time next year two or three years down the road
Personally I dont think they are capable of fixing the game so I say let people still enjoying it savor what is left before its gone.
