Stats reset is very welcome. Back in the COD4 times I liked to time to time reinstall the game after all unlocks etc were done, so I can start ranking up again from the scratch.
Stats Reset Coming
- Thread starter [TW]Ramm-Jaeger
- Start date
Personally, I wouldn't be so angry over my loss of legit stats if it didn't take me 30 hours to get a 5% increase in accuracy. Perhaps if it didn't take hundreds of hours to reach hero status I wouldn't be angry. I feel like I've just been the mark in "the long con".
Just play this game as you'd play RO1! Enjoy it and the stats ranking your weapon up are just bonuses!
I like the new stats thing but I don't mind that TWI are resetting it at all despite all ready racking up 40-50 hours of gameplay, just because I know I can relive those hours but with the game updated and less buggy

This post makes you seem like a guy who plays video games like it's a job, in order to achieve unlocks and 'stats'. Did you play video games before achievements and stats, and unlocks? Those were the days man...

I'm not trying to prod you here, but you did read the whole post I made right? Your going to get double XP for a while to get you back up to where you were at before the reset. So for example if you play 30 more hours at double XP, your going to have the XP of someone that played for 60 hours. So at the end of the day you actually won't have lost anything. And if you play MORE during the double XP, you can actually get ahead of where you would have been
Is this update live yet?
I'm really happy about the stats reset. In my mind I knew Tripwire would reset the stats, it would be absurd not to given that there are people with impossible accuracy percentages and kill ratios that would void the stats system completely if it was fixed without a reset.

Reset is the only way to go, without question. I appreciate what I think are the reasons they considered it a tough decision but it's really what has to be done. I think them taking the decision this seriously reflects well on them. I can forgive the time it took to make such a decision. To announce a stats reset immediately would've courted a potential large scale player hiatus from the game early in the release; a marketing strategy nightmare in the midst of other problems with the release. As it is there are probably a significant number of players who have held off until this moment, but I think most have just played the game for what it is; an unfinished masterpiece. Yet players have no excuse not to expect a reset, it's the only reasonable thing.
Frankly once I noticed that I was ranking up inordinately I would have no idea whether any of my stats are legitimate, and certainly TWI would have no way of knowing, and I don't see how anyone can unless from day 1 they've played with a notepad handy and accurately keep track of every kill and every point earned manually, and watch their progression stats like a cat watching a mouse, double-checking that they accurately reflect the kills and points after every round. This strikes me as how Det. Monk would play the game (all the while noting every historical inaccuracy, of course).
Given this uncertainty, I just can't think of any time "invested" into the stats system as any more "wasted" than other gaming hours. I think of it this way: I've had a fun time sampling many of the unlocks and what it's like to be levelled to various levels, but as someone said right away, "easy come, easy go". It's definitely time for stats to work as intended. That was a fun preview, now let's get on with it. I'm happy it didn't take any longer (assuming this really does fix it).
I also hope, like it seems most people do, that the upgrades generally are implemented as optional, as soon as possible (before too many people start unlocking them). I haven't had the "good fortune" of "earning" (read: glitching) the scope on the Mkb, but if I had and it was not optional, that would make the Mkb a less desirable assault weapon for me, and I'd only choose it over the mp40 when I wanted a sort of hybrid-sniper experience (now I think of it, is the scope really just a balancing ploy to get less people to choose the Mkb once they achieve the unlock, to try to make it rarer than it would be?? --"is joke, tovarisch!"). I generally choose assault class because I want to get into the firefights, not stand back at ranges where I need a scope. I won't mind having the the option to attach the scope in some matches, but I mind being forced to.

I came here expecting MASSIVE stats whoring whinage but I am surpised by the low ammount of kiddies whining about their OMG MY PRECIOUS STATS.
I'm getting proud of the TWI community again
BTW good work TWI.

TripWire, did I already said that You are my favorite Dev Company? I think I did, many times before. But I'll say it again. You Guys Rock! :IS2:
Another reason why I don't like stats. Now all of my 150 or so PPSH-41 kills will be rest.
Take the time you would spend complaining on forums and use that time to get PPSH kills and you will get your drum magazine.
