Awesome Gameplay but...

[Deinsensai]

I played the Demo for a few hours until i got a crash everytime to a point it was unplayable, hope they fixed that, the Gameplay, building is really fun.

But, i don´t get it why they have this Seasonal WIPE System, i´m more a casual Player jumping from one game to another because there so many great games out there, and whats the point of even start Once Human when i play this once or twice a week, and suddenly all my progress wiped, i heard something about keeping partially progress with skins etc, but thats not really satisfying.

How you Folks feel about their decision to wipe everything? I´m not a fan of that mechanic, so i´m not sure if i play this Game, even though its really awesome.

I didnt know that was a thing. I will not be playing this if everything gets wiped. They should do what diablo did. Seasonal characters and once season is over the character gets transferred over to a non seasonal where they become permanent.

Wipes exist for one reason: because it's easier for the developer. The reason developers embrace a seasonal model is because it places more burden on the player and less on the developer. They can create less and have you, the player, just restart a character over and over and over again and call it content.

Unfortunately it is a thing. The game is seasonal and seasons last 6 weeks.

don't care about wipe if the game is fun and keeps it fresh all the time
i would like to see that in other games as well to be honest, repetitive content is killing games maybe this will be a change

This not the kind of game that really benefits from resets. It doesn't have the depth necessary to make leveling up your character multiple times feel different. There aren't different classes to try, etc.; all you're going to get is some different lore and a few events each season. The portion of the world map open to players will differ from season to season but it won't take long before they start repeating the same regions.
