So we are going with multiple MSs?

If so, you could always limit it to like 3 or 4. Then just have a separate armour thing (similar to main) for each (like platforms). Then you can have each of them a similar scale (or a multiplier, like the second one costs 2x more, then 3rd, 3x more than the first etc). This would possible fix the exponential cost problem?

Do you guys want multiple MS? at the same time?

I think as far as MS tech goes they will be tailored to the construction of the MS and be capped or have diminishing returns.

Keep in mind though, creating and adding MS to Origins will take a few days which is time I don't have yet so nothing is set in stone :)

as far as your time goes, understandable..

as far as MS goes, if its going to be destroyable its obvious then that a person who looses their MS will buy a new 1, but wouldn't having a shipyard to build them be better, no naq, means no shipyard, means no MS, and since many peeps are worried about uber-MS's, shipyards shouldn't be cheap.

multiple MS's :-k that could work if they were assigned duty's. so we could have say a max of 3 MS, 1 could be permanently assigned to your attack forces so they wont engage in defence of your realm when your attacked. another could be for defence and then again...whats the point of having multiple MS when 1 can do the job, and having multiple MS means the bigger accounts could have several uber-MS :?

dunno, maybe someone else could do a better job of it than me, but the more i think about it the less i like that idea?!

Oh i just took what i though Gary said thats all. Perhaps i misread.

though i think some simpler smaller updates would be best atm Gary. Just to wet appetite. Like another weapon class or 2.

Unless it's based on removing x% of total power, instead of x% of available weapons

Personally, I think a server reset is in everybody's best interest. Because those that are are ahead are way ahead. It's unfair to any new player because it litereally would be almost impossible to catch up to those that have been playing for a while. Or course, those players that I mentioned that are ahead will dislike this ahead, but I think it would be the most fair thing that could be done. After all, you are claiming that Origins has a "New Life".

2 key problems with that.

1) Some people have spent on supporter packages. So unless they are all no longer playing or are given a refund it's not fair.
2) What about the effort put in by people that have continued to play despite the inactivity? Are you going to offer them 5hrs/week for like 50 weeks compensation?

We can't reset main for similar reasons we can't really reset origins. In reality you are not as far away as you believe. Yes, you can't achieve top10 in like a month, but you can't do that in main either. Infact, to even be competitive, you have to ascend at a bare minimum 6 times at 2 weeks each time to start coming close. And like 9 months to fully ascend. Yet no one is asking for a reset of main due to the extensive time period it takes.

Off-topic: I would actually like to see these last 13 ascensions removed. Compensate everyone that has gotten there by refunding them the minimum requirements needed. Cause it's out of control.

So lets say you invest in a farm in the middle of the dessert with no one competing with you....Now that dessert turns to a forest due to rain, would you like it if they repossessed your farm coz other people now want to farm near it?

Same concept, they invested. Now its paying off.

I dont think it's fair because i have been playing and others havent. So i should be set back because i had hope that the server would come back and kept playing? just so people who didnt want to play before can catch up now. This server was inactive for a YEAR. I played that whole time. you can EASILY get to page 1. You just have to farm at every turn change. That's the best way to get naq. If you cant do that, then maybe Origins isnt the server you should be playing on
