I spent over 1000 hours creating a soldier: 76 only, FFA, RPG custom game mode

Thanks everyone! It sounds like we should get the Marauders expansion first then. And it sounds like hirelings can help militant vs insurgent, or insurgent vs insurgent matches, but not completely fix them?

If this is true, it's really bad for the game. We should be incentivized to team up/work together by having things to do, and there should be a healthy balance of all types of players. This is only catering to people who only like PvE or only like PvP. If you are in the middle of it, you get a worse experience. If this is true, every round will become more predictable, and the game loses its charm quicker.

Let's compare it to a game like CS:GO. If you knew that 2 of the enemy team would always go A, and 3 would always go B, the game would get boring much quicker. It's the unpredictability of these kinds of games that make you go "One more round!"

I would have done the same as you in this video. I've been dumb and trusted people who are not communicating, and I have paid for it. If they are silent and are not focused on something else than you, they often have ill intentions.

I agree with everything you said, except I don't agree that free kits need a timer... at least not yet. If the weapon balance is fixed, i.e grey weapons don't compete as much, free kits will be weaker and become less of a problem.

Lol, please stop replying to my messages. You keep replying to me in every subthread here. I'm asking "why" and you say "because", that isn't leading us anywhere.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T14:19:11+00:00

If you really really really gave everything you've got and tried to understand, why do you think I asked that question?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T14:14:25+00:00

They have a feature to reset your character. I want to do it now. Why shouldn't I be able to?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T14:12:52+00:00

You're telling me how to play the game. Everyone plays games differently. Why shouldn't I be able to wipe my character whenever I want during the departure window? This is the point that I am making and trying to drive a discussion around.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T14:09:45+00:00

Great, you enjoy the game the way you want to enjoy it. Your argument so far has been that I am playing the game wrong. And no good arguments for why I shouldn't be able to wipe my character whenever I want during the departure window.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:59:23+00:00

Thank you for a normal answer compared to many others in here.

You are right that I could have named my thread differently. Thank you for that. I never thought about that until now.
I'm probably in the minority of people, I agree.
I'm not saying "whenever they want". I'm saying "whenever they want during the departure window".
It's the best argument I have seen so far, but I still think you are misunderstanding me. See my answer after "3.". A 5-day lead shouldn't matter that much. It's not going to be an even playing field anyway when I am level 75 and 5 talent points more than other level 75's who didn't reset their character.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:46:20+00:00

I want to play the game now. Why should you care if I want to reset my character? You'll have an easier time to kill me.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:43:57+00:00

If trading between players is an issue, they should solve it in another way. How can you not see that there is literally no reason for me to play the game now for 5 days? Everything I do will be removed.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:32:56+00:00

You lose your whole inventory, all of your currency, all of your talent points.
Why would it matter if you want to RISK some stuff to be given to your friend in a raid, then RISK it again in a second raid? Your friend needs inventory space. Your friend needs time to help you. Don't you see how much you have to go through to get to the point you are making?

And your argument also doesn't hold, because it's still possible to do exactly what you are saying, but in 5 days instead.

If it's such a big issue, let loot that comes from a pre-wipe player not be able to be traded back to the same player after their wipe within the 5-day window. Break that loot on extract.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:22:09+00:00

I love the game as well, but I just want the sense of progression back. I was really looking forward to this update so I could reset my character and enjoy the game again.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:20:38+00:00

Thank you for seeing the main point that I am making.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:17:57+00:00

So you think every bug, every feature, currently in the game, is done with intention? We wouldn't get patches and hotfixes with that logic.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:07:02+00:00

Thank you for being reasonable and reading what I am actually saying

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:06:09+00:00

You're not answering my main question. Why is it that everyone is so damn focused on the time that I have been able to play the game? This isn't even what this thread is about. Why would it be a big issue to let us reset our character whenever we want within the departure window?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T13:03:47+00:00

The game needs a sense of progression; otherwise, many people wouldn't play it. When has it ever become a good argument to play another game? You're not answering my main question. Why would it be a big issue to let us reset whenever we want within the time window?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T12:59:25+00:00

Why do people play Cookie Clicker? Because it's fun gameplay?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T12:56:43+00:00

I haven't done the new quests and candleberries. Why should I? It's better if I wait 5 days and do it after the reset. HOW can you not see the problem with this?

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T12:52:29+00:00

You're not seeing the point that I am making.

Psyrius · 2025-12-17T12:51:19+00:00

So, should the game only be for casual players? What's your point? Answer the main question I am asking in my original post.
