Episode 1 - The Wipe
T
3:58Tim NightingaleGUEST
so they're just thinking oh well how much do i invest in this season if it's just going to reset again soon
M
4:03Mark TedrosGUEST
the sentiment was already negative going into season two because people don't like wipes and that was the main thing people are losing progress like they're going to be upset we sped things up for the median player like we made some changes to make that less punishing but at the same time we fucked a lot of stuff up for the top 10 player and us essentially kind of like jumping the gun and being like, we're going to do this or that doesn't appeal to any place.
M
4:32Mark TedrosGUEST
But the people that this experiment was for are now like, what's the point of even trying to get into this if they're going to reset it again?
11 MINS LATER

15:17JoeHOST
is this sorry let me just get it on screen
M
15:19Mark TedrosGUEST
yeah this this video that we we did on this one yeah yeah so this was the faction bonus the travel progression fixes which is the exploit um What we addressed here was essentially 10 hours in, we are removing or fixing the Lone Star bonus, which people thought were a lot more than they actually were, and we have fixed the exploit.
M
15:37Mark TedrosGUEST
So players coming home, this was, what, 10pm or something? By the time that most of our players were logging in, they were like, okay, so everyone else has abused this exploit to get further ahead, and everyone else has got a massive Lone Star bonus to get ahead.

15:52Mark TedrosGUEST
So I'm logging in, and I'm now seeing a tank that's at level 20, which is extremely doable in 10 hours, but the perception has been ruined.
