Complete progress reset

[martinaze]

I'd really like to start playing the game again, that means erasing the progress and all achievments, just like I just downloaded it. Is it possible?

Achievement resets is going to need a third party tool, but you can disable Steam Cloud Sync and delete the local files for singleplayer. Multiplayer will still resync however since it's server based.

It would be nice to erase or disable XP levels entirely, since they're completely meaningless.

Where's the sense in giving XP for failures?

Maybe giving some XP in chill modes and deducting for top outs, and some in endless modes based on final level or speed would be appropriate, but in all other game modes, giving any XP for failing to reach the goal makes it pointless.

XP, by its definition, is experience. You're still experiencing the game and learning, and so you should still gain a reward of some kind. Topping out isn't a failure, it's merely a step on the path to not topping out in the future. Even the best players in the world can't play forever without making a mistake, that doesn't mean everyone below them is a failure.

True, but that kind of experience is completely internal and it's own reward.

No.

Tiers are based on your overall SR, and the easiest way to raise that is by playing multiple modes. They probably only play a single mode (zone or classic) and not any others so are avoiding the easy Overall SR since its mostly for vanity, and focusing on Mode SR which is used for matchmaking.
