we had this multible times and, but i do it again.
- new players can catch up in a resonable amount of time!
The time it would take to get there is to long atm. And I'm afraid more would leave then stay with the current system.
- this is a game of time based progression. you cant reset it. thats against the core gameplay and will break the thrust in the devs.
We shouldn't reset anything. And the suggestions that has been brought up here wouldn't brake anything. The only thing it would do is give new players alittle more EP then us older players got at the same time. I could care less about this as long as it brings new players to the game. And even old timers as Inda and Jasdemi things beyond their precious EP, and looks for what could benefit the game in the long run. And in my eyes I would apploud the devs for doing something like this. Admitting that they did wrong in this case, and now look for a system that pleases both new and old players, and makes the game take off into a new brighter future. Hopefully.
- eve is running 10 years and ppl still join the game. try to catch up there. the gap in eve is way harder then in perp and its no issue there.
As I said before. EVE don't have to change *** cause they already have a 600k playerbase. That doesn't make the actuall leveling system any good.
- you need some patience in these kind of games anyway. that alone will block out a lot players. even eve is no multi million player community (think they are at a few 100k). ppl that dont have that patience will not stay anyway. they might stay a month longer if you give them more goodies, but once the goodies run out then these kind of ppl will be gone anyway. you you dont solve the problem you only prolong the problem.
Agree that you need patience, but things can be put in to ease that for some people. Why not do it if it would lead to them staying with the game longer?
- the only thing you will lose with a reset wil be most of the few vets that are still here.
Again. Shouldn't be a reset. Even though I personally could live with it, and so prolly some other vets as well. But again, I don't think a full reset is the solution.
- vets are not a "problem". its often the other way around. they help new players a lot, just as you saw at the post in this topic from a new player.
Nope. They aren't a problem. What is a problem is the system that they choose to use to "level" in this game. Most vets and peeps in Perp are some rly cool cats. No doubt about that.
there is no gain with a ep reset or closing gap mechanic. it might look as a solution in short term, but it will change nothing on the long term and only make things worse. not if you dont change the core game with ep/min.
Here I personally think otherwise. As I've said several times in this thread. Why not give something like this a shot? Nothing bad can come from it. We would be back to square one IF more peeps don't show up.
