Yes, wipe everything.

Lemon I suspect this has ALOT to do with all the terraforming and structures on Gamma itself .... Those plus the AoE and wrecks and containers dont seem to mix well. You get even worse performance the closer you run the beacons to your main set of Gamma Structures.

And Syndic you are suggesting wiping everything and starting fresh ... Everyone as noob again?
I am just curious .... It's suggested you were given ICE to play, meaning youre not actually paying to play. Do you think its correct for someone in this situation to suggest something that completely alters the game for everyone that does play and has invested any length of time in the game? Sure I know your history and how much you've PLAYED ... but do you actually intend to stick around this time until at least the Steam relaunch or are you just dipping your toe in the water for a month or 2?

With the time players have invested into the game and terraforming and such, if they ever relaunched the game (ie for Steam, for optimization, whatever) maybe wipe with allowing credit for current ep levels, and investments into Gamma ...  A complete wipe with no credits is a giant *** you to players who have put alot of time into this game.

Not a troll btw, just curious if your motive for this suggestion is legitimate.
And yes it's the internet, I am quite aware you can post whatever and wherever, and its none of my business. It's not up to me to clarify whatever your reasons are, are legit. I am simply curious.

You are not lagging because you are running 7 commandos with 7 accounts.  You are lagging because everyone and his brother is doing beacons RIGHT NOW because of the soon-to-be-nerf.

We have been running beacons for the past several weeks and the lag has started since the very recent announcement of the hot-fix.

I had more than the normal lag yesterday (all night) due to the several thousand beacons that were very likely being run all over gamma.

We need real SOLUTIONS guys, this time.
I understand you DEVs this right now is not good so need to do something, but dont do it wrong.

So what we will got after nerf (what i wouldn t like):

1. Beta will be empty beacuse you wont go there for anything (now you go there for token grind).
2. Gamma will be more empty than now (Gamma dont need to be more empty)

MY idea:

1. Beta need rewarded missions (like 800 k NIC + 40-50 tokens for at once and you can do it within 20-30 min.). But need longer time than now.
2. Gamma should have something to do there. So replace the beacon pop to NPC spawn buildings. So the players can build NPC towers and can set what is come to or just do the same what beacons do. But not this much what we got right now, but not nerf to 0%, nerf it to just 50 % (or 30%) of income NIC. You need to buy the NPC spawns like beacons. With tokens or NIC. Players need to better income of NIC at Gamma becasue of risk/reward.

(This is not just whining, I CAME back to play beacuse of this good NIC, I tried to help to the community by New Baranya and such, I wont be there if all will be nerf. That will happen with lots ot people. I dont need too much money but I would like to some more. More money ingame, will generate more content more PVP.)

The problem zoom is that people will always find these things in the mechanics. You need to have a tool that shows how much of everything is in game and the rate of growth and decline that can be filtered down in to corp and agent level. Only then will you see what is pissing vast amounts of anything into the game.

Is it time for the Perpetuum equivalent of something like the CSM?

Preferably something less self interested than the CSM and more a useful consultation to the DEVs from a few people who play day in, day out.

If it is just a member or two, yes, everything would be or would look biased but if the devs actually got together 5-6 people from all over the powerblocks who know game mechanics deeply and would ask them where the problems are, I think it could turn out very well.

The problem is that you are still thinking in "powerblocks". Who will stand up for everyone else who are not part of any beta/gamma powerblock and are just simple players?

Fyp

Nerf not needed tbh.  It's a cool feature and makes it worth living on gamma.

Jesus you people suck at economics. Ice prices will fall.

Oh that quotes going to be used....alot from now on.
