Announcements - 0.9.3 will actually wipe all characters! - Forum

*Sneaks to the development server where .9.3 is currently residing Haha, well, I can understand how the work to get to a viable level to properly test later level balance can be a pain and a wipe only sets that back but maybe in the future a league on the alpha realm which allows higher level creation is an idea to consider? I'm sure it has been considered.	Posted by gamervibe#6606 on Oct 14, 2011, 11:13:45 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

We will be using the "Legacy league" technique for any subsequent patches that disturb the item balance substantially. Sorry to go back on a statement we already made about this, but at this stage we're trying to save time and keep our feedback quality high. I believe that characters will be reverted to level 1 (with no items) so that you can keep the names you've reserved. At this stage I anticipate that 0.9.3 will be deployed within two weeks (hopefully closer to one week). The amount of awesome in this patch is taking longer than expected to get stable :) In case you're interested, here's a screenshot from 0.9.3. WTB like button ! would kill for alpha access also :p Last edited by ICYOU#0656 on Oct 14, 2011, 11:17:17 PM	Posted by ICYOU#0656 on Oct 14, 2011, 11:16:04 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Excellent decision to wipe the slate clean and I'm very glad to be keeping my name - this is the first online game I've ever managed to actually get my real name as a character! The screenshot looks awesome, I am coveting.	Posted by Psychofrump#4229 on Oct 15, 2011, 12:02:40 AM Quote this Post
I don't really like the new mana potion art. I don't like how it's tilted and not vertical like the health potions. It's harder to tell how many charges it has at a glace. Keyblades!	Posted by Antilurker77#5527 on Oct 15, 2011, 12:07:19 AM Quote this Post

There's different art per potion type now (a total of about 20 images). Pass this feedback on to the art guys once the patch is deployed if it's not addressed by then :) Lead Developer.

Fear not, we will not be wiped! We will be reborn in the name of Keysus! I think wiping all chars is a better solution than investing time and effort in making the Legacy League work after everthing has to be respeced. So lets celebrate the life of all our characters until the beta 0.9.3 comes by playing the crap out of them!	Posted by Starcraft42#1303 on Oct 15, 2011, 12:31:49 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
