The great rebalancing, reset debate

I cant give a ETA on that, but soon.

I have to argee with Commander on this one, when I think of Underdone I want to also feel a little from Column A & B, doing this reset will be a good thing and a bad thing, however the good out weighs the bad when it comes to this. For example. it's good because you can fully experince UD as an almost complete gamemode as Commander has been getting the final kincks out of the system, once this is complete we can focus more of community input when it comes to the main aspects of UD. It's also a good thing because it can fully emerse yourself with your friends to get to you were before. This makes it a challenge but also fun competition for everyone. It could be bad because of people who have put in more time than the current UD version could give, this is kinda more direct to xobot and people who are above level 90. But if the reset happens it gives UD staff time to create more higher level things so that when you finally get to that stage in the game you can do things you need to do. I'm fully in-support for this motion of reset.

Ehh, I could go both ways. If your going to do one again eventually, do it sooner then later is all I have to say.

Don't reset the server, if you do everyone will quit. The game is hard enough, and the drops are pretty rare.

I say no to this, it will ruin 2/3s of your player base, if players want a reset i say you should implemant something so they can do it themselfes or create several characters....

What is your database running atm? I'm pretty sure you can convert it.
If you really cant, I could see a manual transfer stats of those who have played past a certain level/playtime/etc.

But I have been a server manager for GMod servers before, and there aren't many times you have to do a complete reset.
There ARE ways.

[The Commander]

Sure, I could easily let everyone keep there data after a reset.

But because I also will be completely changing/nurfing the drop rates, weapons and adding other stuff then it has to call for a reset.

How is it fair then if a level 1 player new to the server after the reset has to grind more etc. compared to a level 50+ who only took 2 days if that to get to level 50 and have every item on the server?

[sambody]

I'm okay with this reset. Not looking forward to grind TW's again though.

reset each other.

The preliminary testing for the MySQL database saving and loading went well today.
People that were on for it got to test out the ADMIN GUN and have a peek at the "special shop"



Thanks Jeff.
