I'm not starting over. I'll just quit playing.

Plenty of people are with me on this. I'm not grinding up my money again and starting with baby items. I don't care about "progression" in a game like this. It's not an RPG. I'm not going to unlock items, I'm not going to grind money, I will just quit playing. A lot of people feel the same way.

Stop being part of the problem. If the game dies because of anti-player updates, you won't be playing it anymore, either.

Hello there!

The game is early access! As such many aspects of the game are subject to change, and improvement! I'm sorry to hear that you take this as a negative, but this is the best way to introduce whole new aspects to the game. The game had small aspects of unlocking items and maps behind levels already, this is just going to expand the games systems to be more enjoyable to play!

If you're already playing the game at a high level, this shouldn't change much for you! You'll get special unique badges and cards, but also be able to experience the new prestige, upgrades, and leveling system! But the gameplay shouldn't change for you because the core of the game will remain the same, so you shouldn't see much difference in how you hunt the ghost.

So we aren't going to lose access to the key items that we need to complete objectives and identify the ghosts? I don't care about levels, so I'm fine with a reset on those, I just don't want to be locked out of basic content like a lot of games do when they change to systems like these.

No we should be fine, we've always had a set of default starter items which is the bare minimum to identify the ghost with. I don't think that will change in function
The other objectives might need to be ignored at first, but you at least do get one photo camera for free for interactions photos to make up the difference slightly.

That all said - I've known about the reset for months as a rumor, I've long since made my peace that I wasn't keeping anything. As banana mentioned - we're in Early Access... a game that is both in development and in public beta. About the only difference is that normal public betas close for major development changes, but it's open 24/7 here.

I play the game for fun tbh. Idc about a player wipe and stuff.

Every single ghost in the game can already be identified with 0 evidence btw. I doubt they're gonna take away the base evidence items either lol.

This is also what i'm worried about. Objectives like blowing out candles (need a lighter) and parabolic mic will be locked behind level walls if we can't purchase and take those items, and they're not default starter items. I also am not looking forward to losing all my items and money that I've spent the past year collecting

No they can't. Some can.

This is exactly my concern.

While I'm not jumping for joy over a wipe, I'm not upset about it. I realize the game is in "Early Access" and things like this can and do happen.

[xXFrostTempestVikingXx]

Because of the spitefullnes of the devs in the past, I'm right with you. I think this is ridiculus. If they cant update without wiping everyone, then whats the point? The game isnt fun anymore, the devs try to micromanage and overcompensate wayyyy too much and its ruined something we all loved. Theyve already broken steam TOS and at this point, everyone could demand a refund from steam if we wanted and I may do just that. I get they dont have a large staff, and thats understandable, but incompetence is no excuse. Gamers are tired of companies and devs screwing us over and sitting back and getting a laugh out of it.

They all absolutely can. Each has a tell. Some will take time more than others (IE Goryo or Yurei) but at bare minimum it is indeed possible.

No they haven't? You can buy them no matter what your level is right now. V9.0 will be locking equipment behind levels. So for EXAMPLE you may have to be level 50 to buy a parabolic microphone.

I love how some of you are on the copium. If I didnt know any better I'd say you must be WoW players.

[Krauser]

i don´t understand the fuzz. if you have some expirience you get all the stuff unlocked in no time. that a wipe is coming is known for a long time.
