World Reset: Periodic account wipes

[Foddzy]

I'd like to propose a new character slot be added, where the character in that slot exists in a separate world from the standard GTA:O characters and has a separate bank account. All of the characters that exist in this new slot along with their bank accounts would be periodically wiped (or reset) on a time frame pre-announced by R* at the start. The character progression would be adjusted such that average/casual players would be able to access higher level goodies (weapons, missions, properties, etc..) a decent amount of time before the reset deadline.

 

I think R* have tightened up the game quite a bit in regards to exploits, It'd be fun to play on a more level field in terms of fairness.

 

Leveling up would not seem so daunting and/or boring in a resetting world where the progression curve was adjusted. I'm thinking maybe a week to max level for "average hardcore", 2 or 3 weeks for casual type players in a world that resets bi-monthly? Or they could even vary the reset length and progression curve on subsequent go rounds based on voting or such.

 

Also, some other fun items could be added in a resetting world: challenges and awards to players and crews for "world first" achievements, hall of fame for previous rounds, etc...

I wouldn't use it. But that's just me.

or, pay a premium for everything unlocked and full stats that lasts a year. $60 bux.

[luisniko]

No thanks. GTA isn't a mobile game which offering the same stages over and over again.

Add 'tl:dr = useless poposal' and you're golden.

I'm not gonna lie, that sounds like a pretty terrible idea all around.

 

It is overdue now that they open those other character slots though (at least one more for now), I get that they had server overload issues to begin with (not to mention all the glitching and hacking), imagine how much more they'd have had to deal with in going over peoples' accounts and all the garages with Adders people would have had, it would have been an even bigger mess for sure.

 

That was before though, the game is finally more or less stable and glitch free, and they have to have capacity by now to open up one more slot. I farmed one character to 120 replaying missions and since replaying missions was patched I started a second character and have leveled him up to 120 as well just this past week, so I'm ready for character number 3 any time now.

 

I was thinking I'd have a second racing garage with the "other best" of every category, as in Adder vs Entity, I have an Entity in my current garage so I'd go Adder with the other, Dominator instead of the Gauntlet I have now, etc.

I think players would still rather level a character that wont be reset maybe like double xp weeks/weekends would help more

I would like it if you could replace michael and hang out with your online character in SP ( i hate michael btw)

No. I like the idea of the slot being a character in which when you die, its back to beginning with rp and cash. Only you don't have to keep going through all that tutorial sh*t. Either way neither idea will happen.

[Gasmasks]

sh*t idea, entirely sh*t.

Why the hell should people who don't play the game often just simply log on and get access to the stuff others have put time into earning? Doesn't make sense.

 

Here's how the system works.

You rank up -> You unlock what you deserve -> You carry on.

Not;

You log in -> Own everything when you start playing -> repeat.

 

Doesn't make sense. Why would this even be a possibility? How did you think of this idea and come across the thought process which high fived you for thinking this up? When I read it I laughed out loud and thought 'Lame and sh*t' tbh. Not trying to offend you, but it's just annoying.

Oh yeah that sounds real fun....get spawnkilled coming out of your apartment. Boom level 1. Get spawnkilled coming out of LSC.....back to level 1. Get spawnkilled coming out of a mission......i think you get the picture.

 

If you want to restart every time you die, go play super mario brothers.....oh wait, you even start midway through the level in that game if you get far enough.

So an opt-in version of GTA Online with speeded-up progression and regular resets? It would certainly make the game more fun for lower levels or players who aren't on every day. Also, it'd lessen the impact of any future exploits, since any advantage would only be temporary.

That proposals is dumb

[ZakMc]

I think this is a horrible idea. NO fun.

[WBaker]

I like the idea of a seperate weekly record holders addition but why reset hard won progress? I never felt the playing field was unfair personally.

 

R* needs to seriously get on a "what can we add" mentality instead of this "what random thing can we take away in this patch" way of thinking. People have been waiting a month for rat loaders to come back ffs.

R* are probably just trying to delay the disappointment from fans when they realise that the Ratloader is a terrible vehicle to drive and the only reason it was ever popular was because of a) it's scarcity b) it had an unusual engine mod.

 

Also, they added a new mode a month and a half ago and updated the snapmatic too.

World alone cannot describe just how bad that idea is. All that time and effort earning and levelling up would be for nothing - there would be no reason to play. Stupid idea, truly terrible. One of the worst ideas ever. Kindly set fire to that idea and bury its ashes between the low and high tide on your nearest beach.

I just want that .50 cal pistol. and the hammer!!

I'd pay a couple bucks dlc for that bad boy..

Would def come in handy when starting new character.

I don't know why they don't have small items to buy like other games. Weapons, clothes, skins. cars.

They have codes for the CE stuff and even if you glitch it. It's invisible in your garage. Ive yet to hear of anyone glitching the CE weapons. Seems like a good idea to me and not hard to implement.

Fiik?

Wipes are for your ass btw.

I don't think that's a good idea IMHO.

10x money and 10x rp

It will be whiped monthly and players can get rewards for their "First world" characters if they did well in the hardcore monthly whipe game

[tymaster50]

I propose a new type of reset: If you die in GTA Online from the user of any chromed vehicle, your disc will be unreadable, if you have digital then the game data will become corrupt and will keep recorrupting every time you try to reinstall it.

I agree, R* should just release the CE content as DLC. Ever since the glitch that allowed people who didn't have the CE to get the content, it's not really *exclusive* since any schmuck with half a brain can glitch it in. I'd gladly pay $5 for the content.
