Possible solution to future whine

[Gorath]

Yeah... Sure, I'll support heirlooms for donators.  My checks are redonkulous and I'd be willing to toss down cold cash so I don't ever have to worry about the grind for retirement again.  And it keeps the good stuff out of the hands of no-lifers who need to get a damn job or something.

Reset stats and skills.
Site must show info about weight and slot count.
Do something with invisible shields from head to legs.

chadz,

I made a thread asking for a character reset for all people because of the major changes that your Slot system has made to the game. 

Do you know why I whine? Because I have a life outside CRPG.  Because I don't want to retire a character before 31, get nothing for it, and have to spend all the time leveling them back up.  Because it will simply take me weeks to get to retirement at 31, while playing with a broken character build.

I don't want my advantage, I just want to have characters that are not built for a different game.  I agree with the changes you made, I just did not build my character, months ago, with those changes in mind.  I'm not quite sure why you wouldn't reset characters.  Is it a lot of tedious code work?

[Tiberias]

I think a heirloomed reset would end this discussion 

[Darkwulf]

People whine because they wasted time retiring and heirlooming items that now they no longer use anymore.  A heirloom reset would fix most whining.

I am just not going to retire anymore.  No point when the weapons get changed so often.

[Waylit]

I don't have a single heirloomed item, just a bunch of Gen1 builds at lvl 30 that I play when I feel like going medieval on somebody.  But regardless, I think that an heirloom reset is the Right Thing To Do.

[joshko]

I agree with it.

[MrShovelFace]

I have thought a long time about what caused this amount of whine. The answer is actually quite easy:

People are not looking for balance, they are looking for advantage. If an advantage is taken from them, no matter if justified or not, they whine. Pretty understandable, actually.

So, using the principle of "don't hate the players, hate the game", it's up to me to propose a solution to this problem. The only fair way (and most efficient one, too!) is to wipe the database every time new weapon stats are released. This will ensure that no one is at a disadvantage, because everyone can find the new "OP" weapon, like everyone else.

Opinions?

Return to the olden days when knight status wasnt aquired in one day and caring about exp is like watching a plant grow. The days when you could look at someone in full armor and say, WTF HOW DID HE GET ALL THAT MONEY

[Bobthehero]

No shovel, because then we will be back to the y u so tease resets and the retarded peasants war every month or so.

No, never again

For peasant war lovers better to make separate mode "kick ass serf" 

[Aseldo]

I'm level 30 and about to be 31, what would happen if they reset heirlooms O_o

[dado]

can u make a poll ? coz i want to vote for WIPE !     i hope that strategus will be soon (Christmas 2011), coz with him all this will look differently

[Blondin]

Exactly Dado, if you think of Strategus you see that's all the change and nerf are insignificant. I really think that cRPG is just a tool to achive Strat.

maybe, but do you really think that there will still be those massive xp/gold gain for the main char after strategus will be released again? And there will also be those players who just play crpg.

[Blondin]

I don't know how will be Strat, but last released allow you to win a bunch of xp (once i receive more than 1million xp in a single battle), gold is different, but there is no upkeep for mercs i guess.

In fact once you achieve your "perfect build" you don't need any more to grind in Strat, and chadz said that there will be new skills like crafting, trading, etc, it will give a new dimension to the game.
I only hope that there will be feature for lone player otherwise i will join a clan, cos last Strat was really interesting only if you are part of a clan.

I guess cRPG is a lab for Strat and once it will be released i don't think that devs will improve crpg (only to improve Strat) so you're right if some ppl don't want to play Strat then they got to deal with the change. But seriously, Strat is the ultimate goal, a real MP Warband, like singleplayer campain, i guess almost everybody will be interested.
