I like this idea a lot more. Because the restrictions are put in place because of it being given to old players when it was introduced. Most new players don't want to slowly transition to a new role. They want to jump into it (Capped to level 5 instead of 6 perhaps) and try out this new gear instantly. 20K EP is enough to specialise but it's hard to explain that to a new player.

I was hoping that the reset was a list attempt for new players to just.. start over.

Currently I hear of new players making THREE trial accounts. Which requires THREE different emails just to see which faction they like the best. This is because the character creation puts you into a faction and doesn't let you do the OTHER factions tutorial once you have completed one.

It's a failure in new player experience. I would MUCH prefer a single experience that shows ALL factions and lets you choose while introducing you to the mega corps (Which are now pretty useless too if you think about it)

I'd like to see Syndicate. Sure they can LIVE in the three faction buildings but a single mega corp where players choose what they want to do.

This feel much more sandboxy. Currently we're stuck with players getting into mind sets that are hard to break. It's hard to prove to new players that they CAN do whatever they want but it requires lots of effort from them.

Maskers are working as intended. However the display is not displaying the correct cost.

Walls are not hard to break but they are annoying and there is nowhere for low level PVP to happen.
PVP is now solely around taking outpost. Any sign of danger results in 'ECorp Maneuver 1A' (Run, hide) which is very easy to do.

This is not so much an issue but it has turned PVP islands from very unsafe and requiring massive online forces to reasonably safe and requiring no online forces.

According to IRC they're aware of the issue.

Is this still happening? This was corrected during a hot fix last night but if it's still happening right now then it needs looking into again.

Yes. Flushing it I don't believe does the same as deleting. Flushing it will recreate it while the client is running and set all the settings for window position back again. Right?

I prefer to them as Alpha 2 currently because that's what they are but the concept of allowing wars to take place there is interesting..

Gamma is the wrong name for this island however and wars is a big system to implement. It's not high on the "I want" list from me.

Alpha 2 being a war zone would be nice as long as wars are balanced. Otherwise every PVP corp would declare war on each other.

If you want to make any island a semi-PVP island it would be beta and leave beta 2 and the new PBS islands (Gamma) to be the all out war zones.

Ah, good old programming motos.

However I noticed this a while ago and thought I must just have been going mad.
You start with 1 slot and have a maximum of 31 (I think it's 31 anyway) but I've had two character with the same extensions show different values. Not sure where extra line came from but I expect it was a display bug.

Production should also be moved to be universal lines rather than local but I am sure that would be met with some angry pitchfork holding locals.

Annihilator had asked the devs to be more clear on their outline and had also asked the community to post THEIR ideas. I see no reason to call him a failure. Annihilator has also taken part in PVP events, all be it in a limited capacity.

The reason people don't want to fight over the patches of dirt you call outposts have been made very clear. They're content for the sake of content and take massive amounts of time that most people are willing to give.

Annihilator clearly pointed out that past efforts by the devs have been met by a lot of whining FROM pvpers due to poor concept design or concept rules.

So off.

No worries! Thanks for fixing it. I'm surprised it's not an automatic message build into the client.
