Reset a Viable Option?
I'm a supporter of a full-game reset, just because the game is still in beta, and I haven't really taken this run seriously. A lot of players have been stating notice about the current upper-tier and their cloning abilities. When a cap or something of the similar is implemented with other large procedures and updates to the game, I see a reset becoming more and more viable.
Basically, would you support a possible reset?
If you could change your continent, which one?
What other updates could be implemented for a reset to occur?
This thread is just for an interesting conversation about a full-game reset and it's effects.

I, for example, would like to see a variety of new alliances and groups. Rather than us all rejoining the NPO, UN, or the IU.
No, strongly against. I take this game very seriously, naming every individual division and claiming the Plump Tank daily as well as playing those cards. The building of factories are also efforts spent, seeing the success/growth of my nation. I don't want to see my 3 months effort to sink.
No, remain in Tropical because it's my area.

I'm happy to reset all Fauna, at least not all my efforts were lost.
Again, because it's beta, I know chance of reset will be boosted.
Yes, even though I would lose a lot of progress, I think a full reset is a good option.
If I were to change my continent, I would to Zaheria mainly because of Uranite glore. And because of diversity. Maybe Tind
Basically all the thing from the suggestion index.
Oh and Yes to the alliance diversity. winks You know what alliance I want to create, Ceres. And I know you want to as well ;)
Also, why is this off topic? Shouldnt it be in General Dicussion?
Ya.
I'm in support of full-reset, in the forum of season restart.
I am in vote for a new season
I would support a full reset. The rankings as they stand are artificially high due to the exploit.
I wouldn't want a full reset, but if it happens, I would most likely keep my continent. I hope that the cloning facility gets fixed though, just so people stop saying:
cloning fecelity is not exploit. cloning is part of nation game.
Until we get confirmation that this was by design, then it's an exploit.
Stop, this is not the place where an argument should occur over something that's been mentioned in over four threads.
You're not going to force communities apart. People just don't work that way, though I always encourage people if they want to start their own groups to do so.
You heard the man.
I support any action Stian deems necessary to improve the game.
I'd keep Zaheria. I've got a good story about it going there.
Other updates may be more new resources, new mission types, GUI improvements, there's been a lot suggested.
I'm strongly against a full reset, just for the record.
A full reset would definitely turn me away from this game. I've put a lot of time into this, as many of you have I'm sure, and it would stink to see that be all for nought.
I too am strongly against a full reset. I'd be willing to compromise on a fauna reset with the means to cap the cloning facility.
This I could get behind. Lets please not scrap everything.
I cannot understand why anyone that has invested a decent amount of time into this game could have any interest in going back to the game after it's reset. Reset? Goodbye active community, I say.
No.
I would probably leave this game if there was a reset.
At present the game has been really put out of balance by two different things that gave earlier nations the possibility of getting huge gains that later nations have not had. First was buying hundreds or thousands of card packs when they were on sale and you could buy unlimited numbers. The second is the cloning center giving a 10%/day grow rate that was game breaking since eventually you will have herds larger than you can possibly harvest. The early players had the opportunity to buy it first and could build up huge productions of fauna and then use that huge income for everything in the game to grow faster. By now that money has spread to every part of their nations and I don't see any way other than a full reset to restore balance. Do I want a full reset? Not really but I don't see another good option.
I am unfortunately in agreement with Gray Shadow's opinion.. except.. I have another option I am discussing with Stian that a certain group of people will not like because they have been willfully exploiting the system. Needless to say, the abusers are definitely identifiable from the rest of the pack.
Though I do kinda agree that a reset would indeed mess with the active community. Any Reset or not, I am happy
Well, the community would certainly be freshened up a bit by a reset. Mainly because new players would find themselves in easier and more 'fair' situations. But a full reset would seriously mess the current community up.
I am against a full reset, as it is only a handful of individuals that has been intentionally taking advantage of the exploit. I've provided information to Stian that proves this fact. Math does not lie. My mind has changed from my prior post because I can tell now we'd lose a lot of the community in a full reset.
I am sick and tired of being accused of being an "abuser" and "exploiter" for using game mechanics available to everyone at the time they were available. Repeating these same outlandish accusations over and over do not make them true, Maelstrom. In any case, I agree with Grayshadow... if there are concerns that us early players have an unfair advantage over using two game mechanics that have now been severely nerfed or will soon be severely nerfed, then a reset is the only fair option to level the playing field for all of us. If people quit because of a reset of a game that's clearly labeled "beta", then maybe they'll learn beta testing games isn't for them.
Hyrle there is absolutely no reason to be crass or condescending. Of course everyone playing realizes this is a beta, and that a reset is not only a possibility but a likely inevitability. Your attitude stinks like sulfur though. Online communities thrive not from the old guard but from fresh blood. Skipping over the comments of new people is not only stupid but shows quite a deal of arrogance. You lose your community base by making any rash decision, you lose your game. You can sit here and claim innocence all you want, but it is quite obvious you're one of the thorns causing the lion pain.
Let me reiterate: just because you CAN do something, does not make it a feature that is working as intended. For example, in SWTOR, people were reprimanded because the developers placed an item, called Temple Chair, onto the fleet within a vendor. Players could purchase the chair for 1 credit, but they found out that selling it gave back 100 credits. Soon, dozens, if not more, were exploiting this. While it's not breaking the code, and only using the in game mechanics, it is nonetheless and exploit. Why? Because it's not working as intended.
Until we get confirmation that Stian intended this imbalance, you can get all defensive if you want. It's still an exploit by the definition of it.
There is also another factor that is changing the growth and strategies of the nations. I am speaking of the population caps at each tier level.
Players from previous sessions will remember that there wasn't a population cap and I personally just want to see how my nation would do in that type of environment and also play around with different strategies.
This is just my opinion. I have not done RP, but I would like to see more of your opinions from those who do. I am very interested in how a reset affects your RP. Examples if there are any would be helpful.
Not singling you out or anything, just that your post is easier to reply to as you are trying to be objective.
If you were personally getting bagged on, you would get tired of it. And I am sure that Hyrle and Carp are both tired of this on every other thread these days. Continuing to call them cheats does not help this game at all and just this type of drama alone may turn players away.
Thank you
