Yeah, they totally need to reset us and then reset us again 12 days later. Wat.

Or perhaps they anticipate us playing a lot and getting SP, and then getting even more SP due to them handing out that 100k headstart bonus, which will push us up to the point where matchmaking may isolate us from all the noobs when they get in?

Frak that. If another wipe is in the works I will play less. I stopped during the beta before because a wipe was coming. Why bother?

They gave me 1M SP that was still there after two wipes. This time they took it. So much for special rewards they promised would still be there. It didn't make me stop but it was very close. The only reason I am playing now is because there isn't supposed to be a wipe.

I have done my bug testing and I am still doing it. Once it stabilizes, i.e. I am finding no additional bugs, I can focus on RPG efforts. Otherwise it is not worth playing with the SP cap and a wipe on the horizon.

Not only little reward but wasted efforts.

You are right, they aren't. Its not what I meant though.

Read it again.

This is what you should focus on:

The huge advantage already experienced players got over anyone totally new to the game is a reason for another reset. A very good reason IMO.

All the very basic shooter mechanics glitches I have mentioned, should be fixed before open beta or at least before release. Come on, I can't remeber any shooter having so many fundamental things not working properly at launch, not by a long shot.

4)Dull maps
?...Did you try out the starhawk beta..now those were some dull maps

Issues that should be fixed before open beta:

- The reload glitch.
- The can't aim, get menu instead glitch.
- The joining corp chat get kicked out of game glitch.
- The can't cook my nades glitch.
- The mic glitch, where I can't speak to anyone.
- The whole 2 sec nade thingy.
- The new steeper nade arch have made the Fused Locus nades very hard to use, they're borderlining useless.
- The can't run, can't move glitch.
- The can't hack anything glitch.

No more wipes.

They MUST for release

They MUST for release

Barring any unforseen issues that would require another reset, this one (the reset post TQ migration) should be the last one.

I strongly recommend a final wipe. Give max 2 week advantage, or just the 100k for testers.

This game, bar fps issues and draw distance collision glitch (the "you can't snipe me from this hilltop" glitch) is ready for open beta IMHO. I'd like to see functional market on release, too. But letting players get a massive artificial advantage will put off a lit of potential players.

Right now the game reminds me a lot of counter-strike beta. It really has such a nice scale and competitive feel to me. Giving players a massive advantage would really mess up the otherwise lovely atmosphere.

The sp advantage won't put of potential players. The bad Iron sights, clunky movements etc will.

Go reset yourself (by creating a new character) if you are so ungrateful for SP. Its like being given cookies to us and going "I DONT WANT IT THATS UNFAIR TO THE OTHER KIDS", so they take the cookies away from you.
Ok that logic fails. But point remains, we HARD EARNED THAT SP, they stressed that in the post. Dont you WANT compensation for trying to play a broken game?
Suit yourself, but go pout on reasonable things, like why we dont have a starmap anymore.

Yes, they said that this would be the final wipe, giving us 11 days head start on the rest of the open beta testers, giving us X amount of days of grinding to get ahead before full release.

They did however put in a disclaimer that went something like: "Unless something unexpected happens."

Even a tryhard like me, that needs all the help he can get to get ahead, can clearly see that this is a bad move and ultimately bad for the game.

IMO its better to make some beta testers that's already been thorugh a lot of kittened up stuff angry, than risk loosing the appeal and ultimaely risk the future success of this game. Many of us will understand and even encourage another wipe at launch.
