[Re-Revised] TC:NOVA Wipe Proposal

[OlisJ]

I see that most of "yes" voter have no idea for what they were voting.
You will not be able to get a buff for 5-10k and master any combat profession in short times, will not be able to buy decent armor or weapon to start with, you won't find anything worth spending your credits at all right after the wipe. All you will have is CDEF gear and empty server to play with.

Interestingly enough, the above effects are precisely why I would enjoy a server wipe. There is such a thing as having it too easy, you know.

To my mind, with the OR as far off as it seemingly is, now would be a perfect time to wipe and see how the economy and jedi population develops. Theory and calculations are all very nice, but if you really want to see if your duping fixes work or jedi are being unlocked at the expected rate after revising, this is the way to do it.

Sure I'd prefer to have CH or architect coincide with the wipe, but if it's not ready it's not ready. A wipe just a few months before OR would suck hard, but half a year sounds just fine to me.

Yes they do. Most of them have been very clear about their reasons.

"OLOLOL NO MOAR JEDI! LOLOLOL QQ HAHAHA! I GET MAH SPACESHIP NOW PEWPEW!"

It seems to me that a lot of people are voting "yes" simply because the devs suggested the wipe. People, we're being asked for our opinions, not our approval.
From what I've read, the majority of the people who have actually read the first post would be for a wipe if it introduced new elements to the game. As it stands, the offered changes just don't appeal to many of us.
Please save the wipes for major updates, not merely to reset economic issues which will invariably present themselves again in a matter of time.

It won't be possible to get that amount of resources in 10 hours. First you'l have to make artisan then you will have to grind credits to buy skills, with enough survey skills to gather resources to craft harvesters and sample sample radioactives to power them, then you will have to grind more credits to maintain them, and if you are lucky in a few days after you will have enough materials to master WS. But honestly 8.5 hours will require to use 3rd party software.

One of the reasons they state for the wipe is to equalize the looted and crafted component. This isn't going to help the crafters. First there will be no crafters for awhile so the only equipment will be looted. Plus we will have to wait for key resources to spawn again. (which sometimes takes months) Then regrind everything. I'm not sure i understand are crafted items too good? and we need to make looted items better?
Right now my comp is sitting at 54% base with 80% kin. Mabari at 22% base. Chitan with 74% kin. And i still can't make ubease because no decent neutronium steel has spawned.

Didn't they tell us we'd have Nova until the OR? I sort of put in a ton of time and effort that hasn't quite paid off yet. I was really counting on another month or two before a wipe.

I don't have a ton of money or uber items but I don't feel imparied by the fact they exist on the server. A server reset on the other hand, would really make me wonder how many people would suddenly have a CU and/or NGE implementaion flashback. I would be pretty bummed about the characters I'd built.

You know what, it's just not time to say goodbye to them yet. Save it for the OR!

[paelen]

time spent in game play has no warrant for debate. suck it up people.

its obvious they need a wipe for even developer purposes. They show their honor and respect towards the community with asking but all in all, we have really no voice if we want a FULLY working SWGEmu. So, that said by all means, move forward and do what needs to be done.

[Arlam]

why would they ask if it was neccesary? I'm thinking it is not nessecary thats why they are asking.

[Venand]

Letesh: True, I dont know exactly what they are doing. Do you? Did you vote? Do you get to have an opinion without knowing? So do I, then.

They will add changes to fix the economy, they will change the unlock system and they will probably add content that they cannot add to the current TC. This was enough to form my opinion and make my vote.

I do have faith in the dev team, and i dont think they would propose a wipe 'just because'.

Even though I love my toon, I dont mind a wipe. Would this be SC, I would feel crap right now.

I did vote, and I voted no because I dont know exactly what they are doing. Its like obama, I didnt vote for him to wait arond and see what he was going to do. Now Im glad I didnt.

Fully working would be gret paelen, but that won't be the case. These are miniscule changes that we can do without before the OR. Its not worth a wipe.

[Gray Mouser]

In addition, the poll itself is extremely biased toward a "Yes" vote. Everyone knows that there is supposed to be a wipe. This is making it seem like you're asking permission to do that wipe for the OR, or even Sun Crusher.

There are a lot of things about this that is starting to make my skin crawl, not least the morbid glee of an overly vocal minority.
