Ulta Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I wish it wasn't so either, but for now, least you can Ascend to work around it. Ascending gives you 15+ more levels after 100. Yeah I know, crap thing to need to do to fix it (or it's too much work just to windwipe). Human error is a pain, ain't it? Moment's like these I'm glad I'm not on official.

BobbyJ337 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Good luck defeating the bosses with all those points in weight lol. Maybe if you put in a support ticket they will give you another chance somebody said they got high level characters by saying they lost them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 By level 100 I feel you should know what you want that specific character build to be, so I don't see an issue. A cool down isn't a bad idea either though. I know you said you hadn't played for a while so it was an honest mistake, but in general that is a choice they give you, what you do with it is all on you. I've always liked the idea of being stuck dealing with the decisions you make on games. Alternate storylines and such mostly, but it makes you actually have to think about your end goal instead if just doing whatever works for now because you can just reset and rebuild stats anytime you want. I'm ok with how it is but I think finding a middle ground could be beneficial as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigjw Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I've never spammed it, but to be punished for making 1 mistake is too harsh. I took a break from ark, before they changed mindwipe. On returning, i noticed the 40 mins wait for the terminals, so to get around this, I gave my char 950 weight, not suspecting I'd be screwed over. This needs fixing and for anyone to say that it works fine, I ask you to get to 100 your max level, screw your stats up, then you'll be welcome to say it doesn't need fixing...

Craigjw Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Mindwipe needs fixing, my characters useless now. 1 week cooldown timer on it. Seriously devs, it was working, so you "fixed" it, now it's just crap, fix it so that it works and doesn't screw up characters almost permanently.

Dylan1602 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't see how the devs are at fault at all here. It says on the wiki that it can only be used 1 time per level, if you didn't check what was new with the game when you'd been away for a long time then its no one elses fault but your own. What has happened to you does suck but you cant blame anyone else? You're the first person I've seen with this issue so in my eyes I think the devs have done a good job, it stops mega tribes mass producing mindwipes and constantly changing their characters to specialise in stuff like weight, war, gathering efficiency etc... I personally think the devs have done the right thing with this mechanic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargingParacerParacer Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Unfortunately this will probably never have a proper fix on officials. They still haven't even bothered to give unofficials a proper fix to the flyer nerf so they are going to act like this was a 'right' decision too. I feel for the people bothered by this. Good that unofficials has the checkbox to fix this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronics Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 All they have to do is put a long CD on it.. like 1 use a week to a month.....how hard is that ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I want a cool down too, I have been waiting to get my last lvl applied all because of this. not only that but I have to be more picky about helping people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis3691 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So.. if I'm level 89.. do I have 89 mindwipes... Or.. have I lost all previous chances to wipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Kinda feels like this ties in with how they let known cheaters continue to play as long as they buy new accounts. We're gonna nerf mindwipes to the point that you need an Alt account to perform different tasks on a regular basis. Their avg daily players had dipped down to about 43k before "official launch", down about 30k from the 74k it was averaging at the beginning of the year, It peaked back up again after launch to like 64k, and its tapering back off again... Probably has nothing to do with poopty game mechanics, poor customer support, duping that hasnt really been fixed at all along with all the other bugs, poor Official server performance, etc. etc. Nerfing Mindwipes was literally the same as the massive bird nerf. Like the creation of the universe, it was largely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost them all. I am lvl 99 with the option to lvl up but I am holding it because that means I have 2 chances instead of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you can mindwipe at 89, level yourself to 88 (leaving 1 level-point unallocated) and retain ability to mindwipe again (if you havent used it previously at Lv88), but as soon as you spend that last point to get back to 89 you will not be able to mindwipe until 90. So its like a table where you can mindwipe once at each level - counter intuitive and kinda rubbish system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroJob Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 +1 to all the experienced gamers pointing out that the developers have gone back in time and implemented a rubbish mechanic that experienced devs left behind years ago! -I feel this thread has already explained all the obvious issues with a locked in stat reset system, I just hope WC listens and makes a chance the players like.
