Proposal Discussion Beta one

FredTA · Jul 4, 2014

Hey guys.

On the topic of the hard reset expected for the Beta one release, I thought maybe the credits/progress could be moved to the single player mode that will be opened up to players, this way everyone can keep their progress without effecting the influx of new players.

I suggest this as I am a beta tester, however I -among I expect other people- may struggle to motivate them selves to play the game -and by extension test it- if the progress will be wiped completely by the end of the month. For example I'm saving up for a Lakon type-9 but by the time I'll have acquired it I'll only have a few days at least before it's got again.

Thanks,
Fred T.A

As I understood it will only be singleplayer online which is actually a multiplayer mode.

And, whilst allowing people to head off into online singleplayer, FD shouldn't really be encouraging it.

Seriously, we are testing here, that includes also progression. Don't attach to your current achievements - those will be totally different in finished game.

So reset here we come.

I'm really looking forward to standard beta, although to be honest, I would hope that there will be a complete reset for everything when this goes retail, just so everyone starts from roughly the same point (KS enhancements notwithstanding).

Those of us who'll have played before general release will have an inherent advantage of flying skill superiority, knowing some decent trade routes and general quirks and oddities of the game, so it wouldn't be a big deal to me.

And how do some of us with little time on our hands test bigger ships like the Lakon/Anaconda when there is a hard reset on our progress every month?

I guess it all depends on how much of the galaxy opens up in Standard Beta. What i'm hoping that they do, is that they 'lock' the current systems and open up a brand new part of the galaxy.

So I have no problem with a hard reset.

A completely new area... that would fantastic!

But I doubt it

I would love a very large (and new) section of space to play in. At some point they need to test how people behave in a much larger fishtank, and I really hope beta will do just that.
