what u are all Blind about season wipes,

[Drogash]

Lots of you think seasons is a good thing, but let me tell you this, Redoing lvl 1-40 POI's all over again will be game breaking and then what we fighting new lvl 10-40 bosses again?

Its really not fun doing low lvl POI's theres no challenge, and then what fighting anther lvl 10 boss over again with each seaosn, seems like a waste of a good boss fight, and then be Time Gated all over again for Hard-pro-mode?

Seasons Should be Progression based, Add lvl 70+ Bosses and POI's inc the lvl cap,

refarmming new lvl 10 POI's and bosses is not gonna be that fun, because we already know the outcome, we gonna own them so fast,

season 10, we should be like lvl 100, fighting lvl 100 bosses and doing hard crazy lvl 100 POI, and that way more fortify and heavy guarded, with new abilitys and traps to stop us from winning,

not everyone start at lvl 1 again and we just run around killing everything so easily,


Who thinks is a good Idea to Refarm low lvl POI's and New Low lvl Bosses?

wouldnt u rather fight Higher lvl POI's and Higher lvl Bosses with each new season?

Actually I genuinely think it will be good, it will make it easier for new players to get into the game, especially on pvp servers. You can save base blueprints so it's not like all that work goes to waste. They've stated that you will get to carry select items through the reset (probably like guns, weapons armor deviants and materials) as well as keeping any purchased cosmetics. Also games like rust have pretty frequent server resets and still thrive. It will also keep the game from getting stale after you finish all the side quests and missions. Also it's a free game, I can get complaining about it if you purchased this game and didn't know about resets but you literally lost nothing and there's nothing keeping you from uninstalling and walking away right now. Perhaps at some point they'll at servers that specifically don't reset but until then either live with it or stop playing.

This is the first season, it is marked as "Easy" if you bothered to check the details. We can assume this is to accommodate the fact that we have no blueprints and nothing carrying over from a previous season.

Future seasons will be harder (if they keep them - most content creators they are talking to have told them to significantly change or remove them).

This is the intended mechanic. You can't toss everyone into Hard mode without any blueprints or prior knowledge of the game and expect them to float. Easing players in is the best way to do this.
If they gave you the option, you'd pick it and then cry when you were getting your butt handed to you left and right. And you know it.
So, thank the devs for their foresight in saving you the tissues and headaches.

Those two sentiments are in conflict with one another. Either the wipe puts new players on equal footing with everyone else or it gives a nice advantage to long-time players. You can't claim both and expect to be taken seriously.

By the way, can we all just imagine for a moment how screwed and a annoyed a truly new player will feel joining a server that's two or three weeks out from a wipe? Like what a craptastic experience that would be for your first impression into the game.

People who understand the system: sounds interesting, should work well. People who don't: RRRREEEEEEEE!!!!

Literally nothing the original poster said was incorrect. Granted you may not share his opinions on what is and isn't fun, but he was painting an accurate picture of what players can expect.

I find it's the people who blindly parrot one of the developer's announcements on seasons who don't seem to be able to separate spin from reality on this particular topic.

I mean you're going to have 2 days of content if they add a zone or two. Wipes/seasons are a lazy way to get playtime out of people, but it's effective and low effort.

[upuaut2]

most people are against the wipes. i think is a game killer.

Seasons could be good if they were longer. I have not played an insignificant amount of time for this first week, and there are 5 more. Not to mention trying to help friends catch up. Instead of 6 weeks they should try 18 and spread the phases out over three weeks each. This is just off the cuff thinking. I'm not saying it "should" be this way or anything. But as it is, I can't keep up this kind of gameplay time anymore with all that's going on in life (I know others can relate).

Now, the game may just not be for me. But I really enjoy it. I just feel pressured to keep up, and I don't like that.

The server wipe doesn't bother me. But wiping every 6 weeks is too often.

I'm not sure why folks can't relax about these server wipes. The dev is taking a different approach with the game and one that is uncommon (but not unheard of) in this genre. There are other games that due server wipes as a normal matter of course and do just fine (see: CryoFall). Instead of coming at the devs with pitchforks and torches, let these people realize their vision, see if they can actually create compelling hooks to make it worthwhile, THEN sh!t on it if it doesn't yield the experience you want.

People complain about lack of innovation in gaming? This is how we get lack of innovation, right here.

That's some odd thinking. You don't need someone to chop your arm off before you can properly recognize that you won't enjoy it.

First of all, chances are people have experienced seasons or wipes before. It doesn't have to be in this game specifically; the particulars of the wipe don't matter if you don't enjoy losing any level of progression.

I do not like having the levels, credits, and memetic progress I've earned taken away from me. I do not enjoy having usage limits placed on items I put effort into obtaining or creating. It's as simple as that.

There's also enough information out at this point that we do know how it works. There's this weird thinking some of you have that if someone isn't in favor of wipes then they clearly must not understand them. It is possible to understand a plan and still not like it.

I in fact did not contridict myself, we don't know wo what we're going to be able to keep,I was simply theorizing what we could bring. Also even if they did get to keep guns that's hardly an advantage since guns are so easy to get.

Especially when it's a free game. I can't stand people who complain about free ♥♥♥♥

[Jaze]

They need to make progression significantly faster on the Seasonal updates, especially as there is a vast amount of people who don't have a large amount of time to invest into this game as it is..
