Stats Reset Coming

[Nenjin]

I'd honestly prefer no free xp weekend. Just because the game has XP doesn't mean it need to be used as leverage, even if they're trying to do right by the people who really can't live without their stats.

That said, I can live with it. I can always just play a little less too.

I too would personally not have this 2X XP. I have over 100 hours and I don't need to be compensated for lost time on unlocks. I would rather see the uberisation of player's weapons take longer. But anywho I would take a kick in the head just to have the stats working properly. As a fan with over 1400 hours in RO1/DH, I have to admit that stats were not a selling point for me. But since they are here I have been rather loathe to play while almost anyone could grab a MKBhero slot.

Awesome. Can't wait



Can I ask if we might have unlocks be optional and not the default selection?

Variety is the spice of life.

Who didn't see this coming?

But, were those levels right? There are some 60+ levels *per gun.* That's a LOT of grind for an FPS when each level takes more and more kills to get. Not even Battlefield or Call of Duty has quite as much grind and they invented grind.

Tripwire makes great games but I think it would be nice if they dropped the MMO mentality a little bit. I know some gamers play for the sole purpose of getting better stats in a video game, but a lot of us don't have time to reach level 60 on even two bolt action rifles. It just seems unnecessary- let players improve their skill through experience, not the power of their bullets.

Of course, I know I'm a minority as most gamers like having big numbers next to their names, but at least I can post my point.

Thank you TW guys. These are awesome news. I was worried, that the stat and achievement fix would take longer, but you guys are quicker than I thought.

 

[ZimbuTheMonkey]

I haven't been playing at all. I'm just waiting for the fixes to get released and the game to stabilize (no judgments by the way, I love you guys).

Do I need to do anything special to unlock the INB4 RESET achievement? (like play a match or something)

Stats should not be in at all. This reset is totally going to screw the allies as all of the DDE players will be on German using the MkB and there isn't the drum PPSh to counter that anymore. PLEASE consider changing the DDE bonus for soviets to being the drum mag for the PPSh instead of the AVT.

Thanks for letting the community know, info has been lacking of late...
I can understand this in that prioroty was given to fixing up the mess that was the release.

I was quite enjoying the beta between crashes and the obvious bugs, but the real gamebreaker for me after release was the switch to teams of riflemen becoming teams of SMGs and assault rifles... I pretty much stopped playing because of this.

Brave decision to roll back stats and achievements as it will cause a flamestorm on the forums but sometimes you have to bite the bullet.
I reckon it will help RO2 in the long run. In particular for the many (and less vocal) veterns of RO:OST than haven't written RO2 off yet.

I'm crossing my fingers for this patch, you've obviously been working your arses off for it, it could well be the difference for me being a future customer of tripwire or not.

Like many of the more vocal veterns here, I really want you to succeed with RO:HoS but the jury is still out for me, but having said that I wish you good luck with it even if it doesn't turn out to be the game for me.

 

[i2i]

yes reset that whole thing back to day one!

 

[jalex3]

happy to hear this.

 

[greenlemonade]

+1 for giving Drum Mag to all "In B4 Reset"

 

[Xerxes17]

Also please consider making the double XP be up to an XP amount rather than just "the next week or so" it's exam time down here in Australia. I'm sure many players would appreciate being able to get themselves back up to where they were in their own time.

 

[BigG]

So I hate to open up a can of worms here...but any approximate date on when this is due?

 

[Laterlaus]

Thank you so much TWI, this is all I have been waiting for. Can't wait for this update.

 

[Echo Black]

So, you only play a game for stats and unlocks and not just for fun? Hm. Well, fair enough. Back on topic then.

Honestly, that's his own prerogative. There's no moral "higher ground" to be taken from playing the game for another reason, which you seem to clearly desire to imply. His complaints are just as valid as the support for the stat reset.

Happy to see things getting fixed.

What triggered the stats reset? Was there an exploit people used?

 

[Floyd]

imho, double XP is not needed.
When and how much one plays is a function of his/her life at the moment.

While it really doesn't matter to me, I just don't think 2xp for a limited time is an equitable solution.

Wipe the stats, give the inB4 achievement and whatever a player is justly due from his purchase (DDE) and/or RO1 experience.

 

[passer]

Where did they say double XP weekend? I laugh at the idea of double xp weekend.

 

[Welsh]

I'm indifferent to stats, just give me a bolt and I am happy

 

[Thaelyn]

What triggered the stats reset? Was there an exploit people used?

Stats have been bugged for most players since launch. People are getting stats and upgrades that they did not earn. I, for example, should be maybe rank 8 or 9, but my profile currently shows rank 84. I've never played the assault or commander classes, but have hero status in both.

Things like this are what prompted the reset. While it may or may not be true that some people have stats that aren't bugged, this reset is (in my opinion) the right thing to do.

As for the person who said

Please, just make absolutely sure the stats are 100% functional before releasing the fix, TW. I would hate to see something overlooked and then compounded by the extra XP; not because it would make me mad, but because something like that would be difficult to recover from (in terms of PR).

...no pressure

If there are bugs in this fix, then we as a community are largely to blame. TWI cannot fully test these things in the controlled environment of the development studio. They've asked for people to go help test out this fix, but I've never seen more than 8 people doing so at any given time. If we're not willing to help test the fixes, we have absolutely no right to ***** if there are issues with them. Once again, this is only my opinion.
