Yes, I've read the Dev posts & I know there is a reset at the end of the month and that is supposed to be the last one until release. However, if release is two years down the line then that will effect how I (& presumably others) play the game.
Which is why I asked for a little clarification on when we could expect the final reset / release.

If release is a couple of months away, then I will play around, experimenting etc before the final reset. If we're talking a lot longer though, with the possibility of never leaving the 'beta' stage as such then my style of play will be completely different & focused on long term character building rather the mundane FPS/CoD style of short term amusement.
Which, to me, is Dust's greatest appeal. The fact it is a complicated 'FPS' with the depth of an RPG.

BTW I'm aware a reset will be just that, a reset of the character, probably just leaving the name & underpants.

It's not the last one "until release." It's the last one period, unless something goes wrong and it becomes necessary to reset us to fix a problem. There is not one scheduled for "release."

No there is not. I hounded the devs a number of times. There is not one scheduled going beta to not-beta.

I'm in IRC too, and my info comes from a private chat with one of the devs (I don't want to name who without asking, so he doesn't get flayed by everyone if things change). I hounded him back and forth getting clarification. Word at that time was next reset is the last one scheduled, and there is not one on the table for going beta to not-beta. My assumption is because we're hitting open beta soon, so it doesn't matter anyway since everyone will be able to join at that point, so if you wait it'll be your own fault for being behind. Plus, with the move to TQ, we'll screw things up EVE-side if we start taking away money and items from Dust characters that originated from EVE characters.



These are the most recent quotes by nothin, both of which say what I'm saying:

They're from a whopping 12 days ago. Feel free to find one saying what you are, though.

I will ask him again, because I really don't like that wording (which is Ironwolf's). I'll see if I can get him to make a sticky with the reset schedule, because this keeps coming up all the freaking time. The PM chat I had with the dev might have happened on the 6th as well, I know it was after the 4th since those quotes with the "release" meaning "next build" is what made me ask about it.

I'm not going to admit that I'm wrong until I hear it from a dev, because what I'm saying is what I was told directly by a dev. I know what I asked, and what answers I got at the time. If things changed, fine, but that's what I'm going to ask them about now, because there's practically no time difference between your quote and the extreme precision of clarification I asked for, and they're saying different things.

lol tribal wyvern let him be, time will only show the OBVIOUS!

*shrug* Then it'd be your fault for being behind I guess, no different than getting into a game months late. It's just justification for no further resets if that's what they're going for. Open beta's kinda like launch anyway for a free game, especially for something like Dust where it's never really going to be in a final version, and constantly be changing and building on itself.

it's not mixed reports. There is one more beta wipe. Then the game will release soon after in DEC, obviously with everyone starting at level 0.
