This game is great but there's a lot of bitching about this and that's, problems with this trouble with that... Zuperman it's your baby, why not start the new year off with a BANG and wipe the slate clean. Bump EVERYBODY but to zero and and just start over. This will give each player the same chances to advance as the next guy. Yes I know this will cause a shit storm with some but it would also make things interesting again. It's just a thought, What do you think?


I'd like to see how many here are for or against this and why.

Thanks.

You are making me sad Dave.

Hmmmm im a new moraf but i honestly like the idea. Gives us a chance to finally play everyone on even terms.

You are joking lol.

Well if that was going to be done I would want it so that you just can't BUY top tier planes.. but only EARN the coins for them... (mainly because with my Windows 8 I haven't been able to buy any amount of coins/points LOL!)

Yes Joaquin, please re-set Dr. Dave's coins, points and planes back to zero, thank you very much!

It's an idea but think about it your still gonna have blue max running around kicking back side and davy is still gonna be snipping people right and left. I think all it would do is bump all the people that don't play anymore. So I don't think I would care ethier way.

BLAAAAAH!!!!!

Hummm
How about resetting THE GAME as it was when you first introduced trees?

Making all players start over from scratch wouldn't do anyone any good.
The skilled players will still kick your behind. Have you faced Dent when he's in the monowing?!?!
The snipers throttling down to get the job done. Max 420 WUDF enzo wig SB and many more (sorry if I didn't write your name) will snipe you or hunt you down same way they do now.

This I must say Dave wasn't one of your better ideas. I think that if you had given it a bit more thought you might not have put it into print.

Don't know why we should jump back several updates. From playing today it looks like Zuperman fixed every glitch in the game over night. I haven't found one thing wrong with it today. Last night it was hell but this morning it was perfect.

It's taken me almost a year to reach level 30. Can we NOT reset our levels.

Yes that's Ture but it give some a fighting chance and allow Zup to fix a lot of the problems with the game because it should free up memory in the games program, right? Let's face it the game has become almost unplayable and Zup had done or tried to do everything we've asked thus far. So if this would help fix the game then why not? And as you said we will still have our skills so most will do great and others will do better.

Thanks Bell but yes I would have, this is only here as food for thought. We all want the games fixed right? Then are we willing to give something up in return?

Well as I said its something to think about thats all.

Okay on a more serious note! To me it does not much matter either way, I would still play! Just let me keep my millions!

If we had to start all over, the lower ranked server would be a blood field and the top 100 sure would look funny!

However, I do not think it would be fair to those players that have invested all these years to lose their rank, stats, and DF coins. I think there would be a DF riot in Madrid. I can see Joaquin having to grab Malú and go into protective custody!

Okay not really, but I can see it would be quite upsetting to a lot of people that have lost their marriage, jobs, significant others, friends, twitter followers, Facebook friends, call of duty team, secret Santa Club, Book Club, Chess Club, RC Club, missed their parole hearings, missed court mandated therapy sessions, have been psychotically committed because the server was down for a day (2012), saw a red car and smashed into them, use their call sign when signing government documents, I can go on and on. I think you get the jist! AND NO I have personally not experienced any of the above and I am trained in lie detector tests! Key Term Baseball works(those of consenting age know what it means and do not ask your parents, you did not hear it here)!

So as the World of DF Turns, I am also curious to what the contributors of the Naye sayers and the Aye sayers will say aye!

I am throwing a wild number out there right now, but I am thinking you will get most likely 90% for Naye and 10% for Aye! I am leaning in that direction!

not a chance.
I don't understand why anyone would think this would fix the game bugs the bugs are not related to the ranks people have.

Removing ranks and resetting everything is very unfair to people that paid for points and played for months. They would have all right to be pissed if i did so.

Im thinking, oh my how it hurts, can I quit now?

Hello Zuperman it's always nice to get your 2cents in the pot, All I'm saying is, We should be willing to do whatever you need from us to get the game fixed. I'm not a computer person and have no ideal what it would or wouldn't take to fix the game, But there's a lot of people out here that would like to know and are willing to help how ever we can.

I thought about this, and for me this has become so much more then just a game. Sure it did start out that way, then like many of you, it got it's hooks in me! Martin explained it quite well as to how far the need to catch a good round can be.
So now here I sit almost a year into this with the thought of, would I start all over again (Great question Doc!)?

Hummmm

HELL YAH I WOULD!!!

This has grown into so much more then just a game!
I have watched players come and players go. We have watch fellow gamers of this crazy world, lose loved ones, and bring new ones into the world. I have been lucky enough to be apart of sending gifts to a players grandson, because he is so cool that he wanted items from America so on Christmas morning he will get to see his daughter (Daddies Little Girl) light up over his thoughtfulness! (Gizmo I got to throw you out there buddy, I know you went out on a limb by asking us to help with that one, but it really did bring me and my family, joy to be apart of. So Thank You!)

I have learned by many of the responses that I have read, from some great wise men and women. How to better conduct myself, and use kindness and maturity to help influence a situation for the good verses the bad. I try to keep in mind how vast the backgrounds and ages their (there or they'er sorry ParrotHead you could tell forever but them there suckers elude me!!!) are here, and work to help improve the fun with cutting up or giving some advice. I have never in all my years combined, written or tried to become a better writer then I have in this past year (trust me this is way out of my norm!!!! I am just some "Old Hell Raising Thug" pushing the most out of a ninth grade education!!!)

Early on in my time here, I watched a players actions get way out of control, and had no idea how it was going to be handled. Well like a true professional that he is, the developer handled it with great care and concern of the betterment of us all. It was a huge decision that we all had various views on, without knowing all the details. Any how at that time I watched someone lose the right to be involved in this world of ours and I new right then, that many of you as I have, come here for the comrade and fellowship that comes with all of this. I saw that this is something I would not want to lose, and has become a "privilege not a right" to be here, and to get to, know you all. Even if it is just a little bit!

Well any how...... (Sorry got myself a bit long winded)
Don't know if that is what you were after Doc, but just my .5 cents worth...

I hope you all have great day and a "Very Merry Christmas with a most Prosperous New Year!!!"

I've got about five months in, Air Marshall 25, up around 330 something in the ranking list, still have a ways to go to get the fully upgraded level five planes. I would rather not start over at this point, but I would guess there might be some that would as an option, given many play under different accounts with a nom de guerre.
