Game reset will never reduce the attributes that my corp and subsequently our alliance has displayed since we returned.

These attributes cannot be bought with EP. I'll let you figure out what they are, there are simply too many to list and, for some of you, comprehend.

You all have access to the same mechanics we do, there is no magical-fantasy CIR bias or nerf which we can administer to our enemies.

Enough with the 'power projection' threads in every sub forum of perp.

Organise and retaliate!

DO IT NOW!

Any simple google search will show I know a bit about picking targets and making friends...

My point was about learning and the availability of low level even sided PVP, someone suggested battlegrounds but I don't think that would be a good solution.

Take your pills, being a lickspittle to Syndic clearly doesn't agree with you.

I'd love you to link the killmails of NSI and Ghost that we created. I think there's a total of 5 assaults if that. They didn't get stomped by us, they folded because they had terrible participation. NSI in particular talked about only managing to pull two termis together in a corp of 200. These people had no business being on Beta and nothing Joke did changed that.

I will say this - Gargaj strongly hinted that Perpetuum is going to be in the steam sale for summer which means we are likely to get another player influx. Why don't we all work together to get these guys fitted and ready on alpha first with a reasonable corp backbone and then if they are around in a month or so they may want to do beta when they have the resources to do so. Learn from our previous mistakes and get all of the games older corps to agree rather than the most arrogant.

So hear me out on this.

For steam launch we played super nice.  Gave new corps bots (hundreds), created a no fly zone on one island, really tried to help.  Most left.

Does anyone want to try farming them into the ground next influx?

Have you considered that this is not a thread about CIR, but about a game mechanic?

Spark TP and the massive use of mobile tps are features which try to hide the fact that the default method of moving around sucks, whilst causing problems and balancing issues of their own.

Lots of vets tried to tell the Devs to wipe the game for the steam launch. Personally, I'm all for it, and have been since forever. Lots of people know I love to pvp in my seths, but I'd really love the chance at starting over completely.

Give all lifetime accounts a special ingame/forum badge, 3 month free boosters, wipe the server and lets try this again, because it's not working as it is now.

The best argument I've seen AGAINST doing this I think was made by Stranger Danger -- Do you really want to be a part of a game that's time based and persistent that's been known to wipe years of achievements? -- Well, I think if it's explained properly, and used as a tool to get new players to join in on the ground floor, then my answer is YES.

Besides, they've already wiped years of progress for the sake of "Gamma is ugly."

But, lets be honest, we can talk about this till we're blue in the face (see the 50+ page SpT thread) and still, nothing will happen. The game is fun, pvp is some of the best I've ever experienced, and it's got a lot of positive attributes. The biggest things that take away from that though is the fact that new content is slow to non-existant, due to there being 3 guys working on this game in a basement in Hungary. Now, don't take this personally devs, I've got a lot of respect for what you've managed to achieve so far, and I really hope that someday it will achieve what it can achieve. The instant gratification crowd will never stick around for more then a few months, if that, considering what they have to look forward to.

Heavy Mechs - the biggest bots in the game for the past 3 years - take less than 2 months to get into and to be able to pilot descently. What's after that? Nothing.

I know this has been your baby for 10 years now, but maybe it's time to sell it to a team that can put the money into it to make it into something. Moving/upgrading the servers is a big step in the right direction, but this should have been done 3 years ago. The game needs a dedicated team of 50+ coders and artists to be able to meet the demands of new content required to keep people playing. You realize we've gotten 2 new bots in the past 3 years? Both of them haulers. There was mention years ago of possibly adding new classes of assaults specialized in certain areas. What about faction robots? Something shiny that vets can show off in, and new players can aspire to obtain?

It's been a fun ride with you guys these past 3 years off and on, and I know I haven't always been the most respectful person and have said some pretty *** stuff to you devs directly, but I will say thank you for all the memories and fun times I've had. I will probably never know how hard it is to create something from the ground up as you guys have as I'm far too lazy to ever attempt that, so I tip my hat in respect to you for trying.
(Don't read this as a "I'm quitting" post, as I'm not)

TL:DR Wall of Text crits you for 9001

I completely agree with you on this.  SPT is as good as autopilot for QoL and is definitely in my top 3 favorite features.  I think everyone needs to be on equal footing though and that everyone should just get level 10 for free.

Also true.  We haven't even been half as aggressive as we could be.  The un-registered CONS alt OP singing the same tired song is trolling.

No thanks.

As someone who had ~2 years on multiple accounts and spent $300+ on boosters at Steam release I'd like to personally tell you go *** yourself   You do know that one of their biggest selling points was supposed to be a persistent world right?

I wouldn't mind a wipe but I'm not sure what it would fix. Certainly people have a lot of assets but as the soft trembling *** STC demonstrated stuff means nothing if you can't win a fight.

I don't even think power projection is a problem, certainly we would be fine if there were three or four strong entities. The issue seems to be the lack of testicular fortitude from some people meant that its constantly one side vs another. There's always going to be a winning side. If that winning side has three fronts then they wouldn't win so often :-)

So we will wipe in about two years time again (if the game exists till then) because, after some sort of new patch/ new ads, new content, or whatever, we will have new players coming in and complaining the EP gap is to big?

That´s utter nonsense in my personal view. Besides that, I do think that I have spend a lot of money in and for this game to get my EP´s worth, in a persistent world, so it was proclaimed.

EP gap best resolved with more Islands, more diversity in bots and mods, and new skills to train.

The diminishing returns of the skill tree does a great job letting new players skill to decent levels relatively quickly.

Domination come from EXPERIENCE more than anything else. You cannot reset EXPERIENCE.

You CAN make it extremely painful to cross the entire world to dominate every corner.
