Yes, and I HAVE done this on 2 chars.. so I understand this. I have invested a crazy amount of time on them.Bacta wrote:Exactly how i feel, i know this is an "Alpha" but at this time people have invested so much time in there characters where it no longer seems like oneTklees wrote:They have done this once already and I do not think its wise to do it again. Some players have now saved up and purchased 2 sets of gear, SC weps, and have full crafting bags because they put the time in. I do not care about a Gold wipe in the least or a selective Item wipe, all but SC weps, Dev/duelist gear, stalker and crafting items.Linae wrote:I don't agree with gold wipes at all. Some people spend all their gold at fast rates, top gear and items and pots /talis etc for 6 chars and 100 gold on each character ( which lets say the wipe is for 100g per character, they still have 600 gold) . Another person might have only 1 or 2 chars, in decent talis but maybe not the most expensive ones and saved up gold by farming mobs for hours but have 600 gold only on 1 character.. so they get almost all of their gold wiped and still don't have the best items or talis/pots etc.
The ONLY way a gold wipe would be fair would be to also wipe all gear, all talis, all pots, etc from the inventory and start from scratch on all characters. Period.
Sorry, I think y'all misunderstand, as that is not what I am trying to say. I don't agree with any type of wipe, not a gold wipe or a gear/tali / etc wipe. But what I am trying to say is you can't have one without the other in my opinion for the exact reasons I've stated. I have 2 chars, for most part decked out, although some of my talis are in need of upgrading for sure, but I can't bring myself to spend 100+gold on a tali, so I save my money for now and plan to upgrade as I can. Others might very well spend all their money on such things. Or others might have 4, 5, 6 chars geared up and their gold split up between them all. Either way, a gold wipe isn't just a gold wipe if one player has spent all their gold on the best of everything money can buy on multiple characters while another player doesn't and only has 1 or 2 chars. It's a very grey area at best.
And as mentioned, you start wiping and even though it is alpha, a lot of players are going to feel a bit jaded about it for sure.
