[Cam] Sooooo, soft reset...

Mar 10, 2009 18:26

I'm kinda "eh" about the whole thing. Not sure if I like it or dislike it, but either way the reaction this engenders isn't strong. Having to redo characters is kinda annoying though, and I'll probably end up officially retiring most of them.

Apparently the powers that be at CCP decided that the Cam needed a "soft" reset, i.e. where the chronicle and the characters in it would carry on, but with drastically reduced xp. Existing PCs get MC*10+3xp per month in play to remake themselvse with, and a lot of folks are upset about it. The more I think about it the better I personally like the idea. Gets rid of a lot of xp bloat.

That only ever punishes the successful... I can see why folks are pissed.

Me personally? I think WW should have hired a couple of mathematicians before designing their game. You see the same problem in a lot of the flash game apps on myspace & the like: the more powerful you get, the easier it is to get powerful. And that's just not how it works IRL....

However, I do prefer the game at the higher power levels because it *is* less about luck and more about skill. Everyone is *so* deadly, no one is willing to strike the first blow.
