Well now that it is here, what are we going to do about it?
I would suggest sending forth as many (fully loaded) teams as we can into the world to start rebuilding our skill sets.
Take down mobs, hit the nodes (maybe they are still where they were before) get loot.
That way we can regain our ability to help others in the community.
I realize that this amy seem like a logical process, but I just felt like saying it.
Also, it could be nice (but may not be possible given schedules, etc) that these teams be hovercraft associated..sort of a chance to work as a team with your crew mates.
Perhaps Commander Tbone can comment on this and determine if he wants to send out specific crews to handle certain areas of tasks...

I'm actually happy about this character wipe.
I found myself jacking in less often because there wasn't as much to do.
Anyway being level 50 I probably would not have been able to go into the new constructs.
So even though it's painful losing my character, I'm happy to get a new one.
They say they'll just reset the characters to level one so that we can keep our RSIs. Does anybody know how to actually delete a character and start from scratch ? I'd like to create a new RSI.
As Semioctal pointed out, this might be a good opportunity to start practicing working as a team.
-
Yeah, I'll be deleting as well. Theres a big 'delete' button under the select button when you're selecting a world. So who's up for a 24 hr Exile rampage? For those who don't know, Exiles will be giving 333% more xp per kill!
-
Im happy and unhappy...lets just hope there arent any more exploits
-
I am also glad that the wipe is happening... Now is the time that people like RIP and others who have exploited beyone all belief will be tested to the fullest. We have been working as a team and honing our skills. We work well as a group. Let's go out there and really show them just how well organized the Furious Angels are. The playing field is leveled it is skill vs skill and I'd put you guys and your skill against anyone at anytime.
-
Yep, we knew it was coming. Too many unfixable issues ;)
Talking of the teamwork, we need to ensure we level up together. There is no doubt gonna be a lot of action when the restart kicks, as Core said - others had not been playing so much. Lets get this sorted and get up the ladder FAST!
-
Is it a prob if I can just be in the loading area and leak exp off you guys =P lol I dont think I can get on tomarrow and that exp boost is a must
-
We NEED a time to meet tomarrow, NOW
-
Thank God for this wipe. It's very needed. I think this is the perfect opportunity to work in groups and in our specific hovercrafts. Basically, we'll start mission teams of 8. Captains should be running the teams, and hovercraft members should get priority into the group. The first 24 hours we will focus on Exile-killing. I think dungeons are a good place to go, depending on level. They key is for us to level as a GROUP. Let's try not to leave anyone behind. Also, I think we should work hard to keep things legit this go-around. They are wanting to test the balance. This means no more alt-F4 duping and if you find an exploit, report it and leave it alone. Ok, I have more filming to do now!
-
Yay... finally im not the the noob of the group....
/touch wood

-
well, I think the meeting time should be at/around 3:00 PM FAT, so we can get in and get to work with most of us back from school/work (I think)
-
One word: BALLS!
-
Im just praying the collective are not think this same thing, and not in our numbers anyway, because that is our main advantage over them, we work as a team, they dont
-
What I meant by working as a team is really more forming a team.
We should try to create characters that will make each hovercraft balanced and complete.
What I'm saying is we should see what skill combination work well together between players on a hovercraft.
How many coders should there be on a hovercraft ? How many hackers, patchers, gunman, martial arts duelists, etc. We should figure out the correct mix now before this thing goes live and it's more costly to change.
-
heh wow what short notice .... ha

We need to setup a "leveling-up" schedule within each ship. It would work as follows:
=> It will be a signup calendar (or forum topic) with specific time + date.
=> 2 or 3 people from each ship sign up to run missions for exp and info at every given time (different people for different times of course) while others are away from the game or gaining collector items or more info.
=> Anyone who is not running the missions could just be a part of the mission team to leach exp. They would leave their game on while they are at school or sleeping etc.
=> All our games should be running almost 24/7. Our UK time zone members will be able to stay up late (late for U.S.) while we're sleeping.
=> Everyone would have to sign up at least once.
This schedule is just to ensure that everyone in each ship is constantly gaining exp after the wipe. Honestly, I'm willing to take a night shift or two during the weekend. I don't usually sleep anyway. Well, that is as long as others would be willing to do missions for me at other times.
LEECHING IS THE KEY! It's teamwork. :)
Someone from each ship should start a topic about it in their ship forums.
-
YES! WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! A CHARACTER WIPE! YAY! NOW I CAN BE MORE ACTIVE! WOO HOO!
-
Yes, we definitely need to setup some kind of leveling up schedule so we all can get strong quick before other factions do.
-
Well I'd love to know when the actual time for the patch to go live is. I assume it will be around the usual downtime of the servers which i believe is 12:00 pm FA time. I will be on from that time forward until my bladder explodes :D
-
^^^
Agrees with Broin...
yup untill my bladder explodes... or it comes time that I've stayed up all night and I have to go to college ....
I should be handing my assigment for tomorrow in today so I'm gonna be free :D
This wipe is going to do us all good :p
-
I'm gonna be on until my wife slaps me behind the head and gives me "the look" ;)
-
arg...today is my first day back to work, i've had the last 3 days off. Unfortunatly my work time is from 4pm FA to 8:30ish pm FA time. So I might be missing some of the leveling. :(
-
Poor Zink. :(
-
Poor Zink is right....
Man should somone email him and tell him or maybe that'll just spoil his trip :S
Hopefully we will be decent levels by then and will be able to help him out :)
-
I wonder if this patch will force him to sort out his gender issues. One can pray.
-
As soon as the patch goes up, can someone send me a forum PM so I can get on ASAP to patch?
-
I agree with you Ajax.
It always bugs me a little to see a guy IRL having a female RSI and vice-versa. I guess I'm just to lazy to keep "adapting" the genders I see in game to what it is in real-life.
But that's just me :)
-
I'm happy there is a wipe so those people in the Collective and R I P can get a reality check, I know I exploited but I knew there would be a character wipe at some point and it was more to see how things worked once I got to higher levels so I wasn't a jibbering wreck about each thing. I would have liked to have learned more but it seems some higher power is preventing me from seeing all of the game (damn devs :P) Anyways I think it's a good idea because since we started getting beta in FA it was all spread apart, and I couldn't even play the game untill recently. Now we get to start together and get a taster of what the final wipe will be, fortunately I'll probably be taking te day off college tomorrow because I have a nasty cold :(
wh00t for wipe.
-
So........I know the patch went through for QA, but has there been word as to when it will be rolled to World 1?
-
No word yet, but I'm sure a new thread will be posted here, on our forums, when it happens so keep a look out
-
I'm glad I didn't wait for it too long last night.
My guess is that the devs responsible for deployment probably go home a 5 PM PST. This means 7 PM FAT time. So if by 8 PM FAT time nothing happened you can generally assume that it will not happen on that day.
There always some lowly support guys around but the big cheeses that do the builds and put patches out probably work regular office hours.
I could be wrong but that's what seems to make sense.
-
Sound good.
While I did not actually have the time to jack into QA, I was able to patch my two systems.
From what I understand, the new patch and wipe happened on QA first and allowed people of ability (read FA and some others) to jack in and kick things around to flush out any last minute problems the Devs and QA may have missed (partly because the Devs and QA are too familiar with the system and how things should be and because actual beta testers want to break it to make it better - things like if it is truly all in your mind then why can't I just put forth my hand and those agents would be dead? And why does the first jump test always have to be done across two very high buildings (i know it is about freeing your mind). wouldn't it make sense just to have them try to jump straight up and explore the limits of physics on the matrix world before sending that falling shock to their system).
Anyway......what kinds of problems have been encountered with the game environment thus far will be an indicator of how soon it will be rolled into World 1 for all to play....which I hope is soon.
Either way, I am eagerly looking for that post that World 1 is down or that the patch is in process on X persons machine right now (and here is to hoping the timing of this patch is not too long before I am home).
If my wife knew how to do it, I would have her check frequently whether my launcher was getting a d/l, but alas....it is not so.
-
Yeah, I can't use my name so I'm pretty pissed off right now. I submitted a petition and they got back to me a WEEK later saying they can't do anything about it. Not even anything about my last name! So yeah, I'm pretty pissed off about it all.
