Leaderboards Reset?

[octavos]

I heard about this is this true, and why?is there gonna be compensation for the users currently on leader boards?

[Physiologic]

This game is in Beta, which means its in the testing phase of a product cycle. STS is free to remove any or all user data during or after this testing phase, regardless of whether or not they said data would be kept (since this was just a statement, not a legal promise, and are subject to change). Why would there be compensation?

[octavos]

I understand, this program is in beta. Why didn't they state that during the initial beta phase. I heard nothing about it, there was no mention of it and members have spent lots of platinum to stay on the leader boards. It should have been a promise since select few were able to join in the beta. I understand products and there cycle, and if a customer is using a product they know to expect, why do they change the terms of service with no notification.

This statement has value because it has been discussed and agreed upon.

[Silentarrow]

I believe it is true....

Thanks, matey.

Back to the issue: Star Legends leaderboards will be wiped for launch.

[octavos]

Like I said, there should be compensation. My fellow guild mate have achieved this through honestly killing with no buffs. there is no countermeasures to prevent the honest players from the bad ones. For Me(Ghost) I have used buffs, but my goal was not leader boards but helping new beta players.

[Physiologic]

All I can say is shrug - those few that chose to try to stay on the Leaderboards during such an unstable, critical time of a product made that decision themselves. I've been through other games during beta phase before and developers constantly altered things around or removed things completely without notification. And I don't see any information about beta users being able to keep their data in the ToS?

Am I the only one that actually reads these things before I use it

I believe they should be wiped. Your compemsatio was the fact you got to play before the rest of us. As for what you meant with buff (elixirs?) they are not cheap as 100% of players can use them. If i know Sts they will probably give a little vanity item for being a beta tester. As for a reward for LB, it does not take skill to get on them, ony time.

[ThisGuy0502]

Aw man if they remove it that going to suck i worked hard to get on the leader boards :'(

[octavos]

Well, I see your proof, I see your logic, what I dont see is the implamantation earlier if this was a problem in PL. Im probably going to be the first to argue about this and disagree, but I wont be the last.

I don't mean any fowl, disrespectful to you Physiologic. I thank you for your responses. and help with this issue.

[Fncrazy]

I think its gonna be funny as hell if they reset them. I got my guy to 20, reported problems, and then I just played for fun. Its says beta right on the start up screen. What did u expect?

[octavos]

I didn't expect anything maybe no leader boards if this was going to be an issue, but new players that are young and cant comprehend the terms of service is what im upset about. Im ok with all the changes, modifications, anything they feel like doing. But others are not like me.

They dont want change, and if a change is made it echos.

[Epic Unicorns!]

Will they erase our characters and everything we have? Or just the leaderboards?

I didn't get that impression from you so no worries man. We're just discussing stuff that's all even if we don't agree I think it only became an issue with the topic created in the Bugs & Feedback forum, so STS didn't really see it coming in the first place.

[judgementbow]

Would love to hear the answer to that. If they are wiping the leaderboards then they must want a level playing field once the beta is over. That would mean wiping characters as well.

[Conradin]

No its a soft beta- only kills and LB.

[Breadkeeper]

Like i just told a guy in game, be lucky you will still have your character and not have to start from scratch, then that would be a kicker for all plat spenders. But LB's your crazy if you think they would not of been wiped.

[Epic Unicorns!]

No its a soft beta- only kills and LB.

Im praying this is only what happens :O I have like four characters

Who are these others you speak of? RE: Wiping leaderboards in beta: Monthy Python and the Life of Brian:

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be spat at in the face. I sometimes hang awake at night dreaming of being spat at in the face.

Should keep all as they said we would keep our beta progress when the game releases out if beta.....
