Rank Reset/XP

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

These kind of responses seem like you dont even read and just like to post nonesense. I have maxed every good race i like besides vega aka vagina race. And if anyone here has seen me play they know it doesnt matter what race i play il do more then fine. I just thought that its fun for ppl to start from scratch again and build your skill build up, maybe start with new race that you didnt start before.

Not having a server with vega's everywere and all these ults going of, spideys flying around, ppl starting from scratch being lvl 6 and lvl 10, personally i think that would be more fun then going max vs max. Would no doubt show the skill lvl of some players.

so in other words no. people have put alot into getting their levels. they can go play and kill and earn their spots just like everyone else has to.

The server, in it's current iteration, is what, a year old? That's when the Undead thread was posted, so close enough for me. But the ranks do change. Given most of the top players are inactive for one reason or another, it's not very competitive up here, but when someone does get up, they shoot up the ranks oft times. Honestly, I could care less about the ranks, though.

As for XP reset, there is no reason to reset them. The only people who can legitimately use the complaint "I'm going up against a level 25 and I'm level 5" are the people who have total level 5. Once you know how to use WCS, getting a (non-knife) race up to level 8 should take MAYBE a map, and that's if your team is losing AND you're a bad player. Once you've got level 8, most races have a HUGE power increase. Having high levels players (with case by case exceptions) just means more XP for killing them. Yes, they can use more abilities, and some for longer, but the power gap isn't that large.

The people who say they have to play vaga or spidey are problems with players, not the server. There might be reasons to try and balance the races, but resetting the server will just give you what, a weeks reprieve until they max it again and claim they're maxed when they aren't... Yeah, the person I'm talking about knows who they are. If they even read the forums, that is.

Another reason I don't want the XP reset is, unlike many Warcraft servers, we WORK for our XP. We don't have maps with 10 second rounds, we don't give XP for winning rounds, we give minimal XP for doing objectives, we don't have ways to make tons of money.

As an aside, we HAVE done a total XP reset. Do I think it was worth it? Nope. Does anyone who plays think it was worth it? Dunno, but I haven't heard anyone say such. Does it make me feel accomplished to max every race? The first time, yes. The second time, I'm ready to kill someone. The third time, I'm getting spidey, maxxing it, and not worry about any races again till eva is released.

Its not that big of a deal, but when playing on a server long enough, the question of the matter becomes how am i doing? what are my stats? what is my rank? and can every1 else see it? Just something to think about, yes we play for fun, but some also play to win/frag.

Ain't that nifty.

There will NEVER be a XP reset. it's 1 of the things our server is known for. we had 2 reset once due 2 the major update Valve did... unless they destroy the game again, we will not reset the XP.

ok you might as well go tell every fucking no life troll in wow that you are going to clear all the characters and there inventory and they can all start over. you tell me how that works for you and then come back.

On this, I'm neutral. While I do think resetting makes things interesting again, I don't think it would work for a WCS server. It works for games like MW where you can "prestige" but that's about it, and even then ranks aren't reset and you're rewarded for "prestiging".

I do think there should be an option to reset yourself if there isn't one already.

It's not hard to level or rank up. In less than a few months I leveled many races and ranked under 200 no problem. It comes down to amount of skill or amount of time. If you have neither, why are you even gaming.

Bottom line is this is still CS. Those who can land head-shots are envied, those who can't complain.
