Really? I feel rather calm at that. Nor do I really have any reason to be angry. I've no interest in punishing anybody, but I do think a wipe is a wonderful way of restoring balance after the (currently known) means of exploiting have apparently been fixed. And I like fresh starts.

Also, if I'm going to be included in some sort of rampaging revenge mob, at least give me my complimentary torch and pitchfork. Really, it's the least you can do when wholesale pigeonholing people.

Yes I agree, if we are supposed to be an angry mob nerd raging, I would like my picket sign now.

A full wipe looks like a reasonably simple way to fix the stated problems.

[mommad]

Well as much as I'd like to not see a wipe happen, if it is for the actual improvement of the game via getting rid of hacking and exploited items then by all means go ahead and do it before I get too far into my character grind. I would ask though that you please please please leave Jedi unlockable as that was one of the reasons for me to play the emu, so I could experience doing that again.

[jermat]

ill state my position again, i cant believe this is up for public debate.

[_Pi_]

I do support a full wipe.

Ofcourse you do ... you joined this month
You probably don't have 6 full templated characters to lose.

I have 6 fully templated/geared characters, including 2 jedi.

I voted yes still...

Good for you.


What I wonder though is ... how many votes are objective? How valuable is a vote from someone that joined 2 days ago? How clear is the goal they are trying to achieve? Isn't it confusing that the wipe is for both fixing dupes, but they also threw in "let's change jedi"?

More and more do i think they shouldn't have asked .... because i don't know anymore

[neomancipator]

How long would the small upgrades (i.e. jedi unlock and bug fixes as mentioned in the OP) and wipe take?

[JamisonG]

Ok, the polls are clear...

Are we going to get a wipe or not? And if so, WHEN?

[Zetch]

I think at this point it is somewhat obvious that there are going to be more votes to Yes than No on the poll. The question we should be worried about now is, are the devs actually going to go through with it, and if yes, then when?

If we get an estimate on about when if they decide to do it, then we will be able to see what's actually worth going and doing in game right now. Is it worth logging in and grinding? Or should I just go goof off in eisley or cnet?

I don't see the point in wiping... yet. More needs to be fixed first, imo.

XP rate, loot drops, loot vs crafted, jedi unlocking system, item / money dupes, and more need to be addressed. I'm afraid a wipe won't solve much without it.

If key issues can be fixed, then I'm for a wipe. A wipe is pointless without changes to test, or at least changes that will influence the community in a positive direction.
