I think they should leave the stat reset until they fix the multiplayer.
I think it should get as more attention as the other problems. They aren't a small team that doesn't know what to do, they have all the ressources to pack a patch that fixes the mp problems and the reboot problems.

I never liked the COD series and had high hopes for Crysis but although I've played it a bunch I feel ready to give it all up.

If on the reboot I would of kept my modules I would play this more, but but it is just too much work. Let's say I want Retriever perk that's 500 kills to upgrade that means I have to play Instant Match 20 times and win everyone. This is just for one module I then need to wait until my Armor is 6 before I can get the good perks as well which takes forever as I dont use armor forcing me to play in ways I don't want to.

I think get nothing in return, nothing except camo's and not even a petty coloured emblem. How hard is it to colour an emblem something different than everyone else's? My 6000+ kills that placed me 26th in the world, all gone. I felt kinda proud in a say way of knowing I created so much death and destruction in my short career lol

There was no need to take away my kills. None. I don't mind them resetting the service record but the leaderboard could have remained more or less untouched.

Plus the F**ING LAG IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS IS SO BAD I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, WASN'T THIS BAD ON BLACK OPS. LAG IS NON-EXISTANT ON HALO:REACH.

IM FED UP CRYTEK, JUST FIX THE F'ING GAME - I'm never buying another EA game again, they never fail to disappoint.

I'm level 21 after rebooting and still haven't got Stealth Enhance III or Energy Transfer so 10 seconds I have to keep recharging. I've had enough of recharging. I only have 2kd because I have enough energy to do anything. I've been playing for the last few hours in misery trying to rank up my modules to a point where i can move further more than a few meters and enjoy myself with friend but I can I'm having play Instant Action in order to rack up enough kills to get them. I have to work for 10 or so hours just so I can get the modules to start to have fun. Who thought of this module system thought they were making an MMO apparently.

HAVE YOU DELIBERATELY TRIED TO MAKE THIS THE WORST YOU POSSIBLY COULD? Is there an award for worst multiplayer of the year your trying to win?

Just when I though this game had enough issues - now the the prestiging is awful as well.

Quit posting repeat threads!!

They need to know it multiple times, if you decide to reboot your suit then your in for a big disappointment. Believe me.

Umm, no they don't. Post it in the issues/bugs thread if you want it to be noticed.

Like I said, there is no real need for repeat threads.

Well, I am right now around 250 overall in kills. Probably 1100 in xp. I am lvl 45 and will get the opportunity to reboot in a few days. Crysis 2 was the first FPS multiplayer game I really played. WHen I started, my K/D ratio was at .49 and gradually settled at about .56 in my first week. I have gotten a lot better since then, and it's at about .88 now. I am pretty sure I'm doing about 1.3-1.6 routinely now, occasionally going 5:1, but overall I am doing better than the majority of players. Also, after leveling up several perks I am confident that Stealth enhance and mobility enhance are by no means requirements for high level play. I believe that if you are sitting in a corner recharging your suit, you need to re-think your strategy, and you probably aren't as good at it as you think. If you are 2.5 KD with all good perks, and 1.5 without, you are a 1.5 KD player, period.

Anyway, I believe I will reboot to reset my ratio, just so I can get the achievement and see how good I am actually doing now. I can play 4 hours not going below 14-9, but averaging 18-9 and I'm lucky to gain .01 on it currently. I have 4000 kills, so I would have to get 600 or so kills without dying to break even at a 1. I think I may reboot and consider it my gain.

Stealth Enhance and Mobility Enhance only allow you to move more, little else.

Who are you to start suggesting that those two modules are not required for high-end play when you have 0.88 KD? You don't use them hence you're low KD, perhaps you should and inform us of the results after 20 games or so with the full upgrades.

So your suggesting that if I get 2.60+ KD then it's not legit because I like to move around alot? Because I like to move around I'm a bad player and haven't earned 2.60+ KD? You might like sitting in corners every 15 seconds and recharging and dying often, which seems the case by your appalling KD. But I like to run, jump, slide, armour, stealth and evade attacks (TO USE MY NANO-SUIT) you like to sprint, recharge, jump, recharge, stealth for 5 secs, recharge. Not for me to be honest but each to their own. When it takes to 2 mins to get across a 200 metre map because I keep running out of energy it's no fun for me. I didn't buy this game to keep watching a blue bar (ENERGY) rapidly decreasing and increasing all game.

It takes more energy to move in this f'ing nano-suit than it does for a real person without a nano-suit. I can't run 20 meters before having to recharge on this game, I could do that without breaking a sweat in real-life.

Think before you speak next time, thank you.


I see everybody in Stealth Enhance with Cloak Tracker 3. I hear everybody's location in Stealth Enhance with Covert OPs 3. Tracker 3 is amazing as well as Visor Enhance. Stealth Enhance 3 is not essential for higher level play. I do use other energy recharger's though. I would agree that 1 energy recharging Module is essential for higher level play though.

Stats are virtual, insignificant numbers that don't mean anything in reality.

I'm not going to reply to you again after this because you are obviously mentally retarded.

Perhaps you can hear and see things with Cloak Tracker and Covert Ops. But footstep are not directional so Covert Ops barely works and cloak tracker only allows you to see people that have gone into stealth recently. Much better to transition out of stealth quickly and shoot and be able to run around, jump and stealth for long periods of time with Stealth Enhance. Most my friends and clan members are consistent 2+ kd players and they don't pad their stats with Crash Site. Everyone swears by it and your truly **** until you do have it.

You odviously are not doing well with that setup with 0.88kd. I don't care what game type you play, that KD is awful. I agree that Nano Recharger is amazing, so to is Energy Transfer. Anything helps with energy is what's most important.

Stats are virtual, insignificant numbers that don't mean anything in reality.

Wrong!

Virtual stats are Reality otherwise we couldn't be able to experience it. They're recorded, tangible and reflect your ability to play well.

The term "insignificant" is a value judgement, just because you find them to be doesn't mean they actually are, objectively. Provide scientific data that stats are insignificant. Stats are important and the basis on which human lives are founded.

They mean something in reality to the person that takes pride in being good at a game. He/she may have many things going on in their lives, they don't have to be no-lifers.

I'm sick of human beings incapacity to think beyond their own views, it's sickening. Everyone thinks their right in their own mind, doesn't care what other people think without perhaps reflecting sometime that they might be wrong on occasion.

Use your frontal cortex before you reply or don't reply at all, or troll. I don't care.

Crytek,

I've really enjoyed the multiplayer game so far regardless of all the issues that have upset alot of people on these boards, but now I'm really pissed off and I feel like giving up on the game.

I reached lvl50 last night, I did this legit and I put a lot of effort in to get there. I was in the top 40 for the amount of games won and I was in the top 100 for the amount of kills I had.

Since rebooting my Nanosuit what do I have to show for my efforts? **** all! Who at Crytek thought it would be a good idea to zero all stats except XP? In all the years I've been gaming, this has to be one of the most retarded things I've ever seen.

The second most retarded thing I've ever seen is the fact that all the gametypes are now locked again. Haven't I already proved that I'm capable enough to play them? Ridiculous.

So to sum up, my reward for my time and effort is to keep my stats on the XP leaderboards, the most pointless leaderboard as it's mostly populated boosters, a rubbish rank badge that looks just like all the other ones, and I got some CELL camo for the weapons I don't even use.

Many thanks for turning a believer into another bitter and pissed off consumer.

If there's anything I've learned is not to reboot once I reach the plateau at 50....besides I realize I'm out of my league when it comes to the skill kill achievement and I'll comeback in september for the 6 month achievement but once I reach 50, get all the weapons, and fully level my suit.......I'm thinking what's the point? if I am having a so so experience online (but hell my opinion can change its up to crytek/ea to fix what's broken) than I'm having half the fun........

Let me rephrase that:

Game stats are virtual, insignificant numbers that don't mean anything to people who aren't total nerds about their stats and who don't go into rage mode for not being able to think properly before entering the suit re-boot feature and then turning up on the forums only to complain frequently about it.

So, in conclusion, you are a no-lifer who cares too much about their so called "stats".

Wrong! someone that cares about stats doesn't = no lifer. How can someone be so stupid? I don't know how in the world you jumped from one little piece of information to a general statement about the entire standard of living of a person whom you know nothing about. You should take classes in philosophy, like I have so you can learn how logic works. I'm amazed at how the human brain can create such conclusions from so little data. It's what I'm currently learning in my Psychology degree, how mental disorders operate.

I did think properly before rebooting, so you're wrong again. The game told me that I would keep my stats before rebooting. My thinking was based on misleading information, so I did think, I made a decision "knowing" that it wasn't going to delete my stats only to find they did. Another Crytek mistake, giving me false information. You will see if you reboot, or perhaps just stop before doing so and will see the warning and reconfirm my case, thus lowering further the trust you have in the efficacy of your brain. Does your thinking ever serve you well? That's a rhetorical question as obviously it isn't.

Dntmesswitrohan Please for the love of god don't try to argue with twistedbuddahax, just sit down, walk away whatever. You have been put in your place and generally been exposed as a dimwitted human being.

and who are you too tell people what they can and cannot post?
the bugs thread and the person that created it isnt even keeping the list at the top updated making that thread a usless piece of garbage.

Jez, there is a lot of biching and moaning going on and at ppls throat, think the topic was to get at Crytek not each other.. anyway does anyone know if you got the Limited edtion version once you prestige do you then jump back to level 5 again? I agree on stats and game modes though, at least from these you can tell if someone has played for ages and is higher ranked then you think they are and as for game modes, least in COD series you could play a mixture. this does need addressing and its ploy that has been used to try and keep us playing to get the 6 month achievement.. Its like they didnt want to make the game for consoles but thought we can make loads of money but love the PC more..

You do start at level 5 again, but is of no consolation considering all the things I've mentioned in this post. I wouldn't bother prestiging if I was you unless they make a badge that actually lets people know that you are a prestige.

I understand everyone is disappointed at things being reset, but I thought one of the main reasons of rebooting was to make everything reset so you can unlock them again.
Apart from playing the same set up over and over again and doing well over and over again, if that is what you want then stay at level 50.
If you want something to aim for, even though that something is stuff you had before, then reboot. If you are as good a player as you think you are then the challenge may be enjoyable. Sometimes winning all the time can get a little boring.
Is COD Prestige Mode much different?
I see little point in offering a reboot mode if everything is still unlocked. If they did that then the game may as well just had more things to unlock and level to 100.
I do agree that perhaps they could make the fact that you are keen enough to take this on a little more of a stand out (the emblem) and perhaps leave some of the stats as they were but unlocking things again is the whole point givng the player continued challenges and unlockables. Perhaps they could have made the even mods better at reboot level 3 or something.

I was curious as to whether there was a sort of 'prestige mode', this certainly answers that.
If your leaderboard wouldn't be reset the reboot would actually be fairly appealing to me. Now I'm not so sure I will follow through with it. Maybe they could change that...

Fully agree with you, the good thing in COD is you get to still play varied map types as well as unlocking prestige maps so at least you can play varied game types to enjoy your resetting of everything else.. i accept that you lose all weapons and armour etc as thats a good reason to gain xp again and push on. but they need to offer you the sign of doing the prestige and not take away your hard earned stats, where in COD you keep all the stats. This game can knock COD out of the water if they follow and improve on that system.

Hey guys, can someone please explain to me very simply what the issue is with this feature? I don't even know what it is/does so let me know and i'll see if i can get some info.

Cheers!

The main issue I have Adam is the fact that my career stats are reset. I accept the suit and modules being reset, that is more than understandable, but to reset the leaderboards just doesn't make any sense. This is usually a step taken by devs to punish boosters and hackers, not legit players that are supporting your game.

It is like all my hard work was for nothing and makes me look no better than a player that has played the game for five minutes. Before I rebooted I was one of the highest ranked players in the world, but now I'm one of the lowest.

Summing up.....

Leaderboard reset - Ridiculous
Non descript prestige emblem - Poor
Locking gametypes post reboot - WTF?
C.E.L.L. camo - Great
Nanosuit and module reset - Acceptable

Hey Adam,

I will explain the reboot feature and the problems with it.

On ranking your character to level 50 you are given the option to reboot your suit. In effect, this resets all your weapons, unlocks, modules and let's you play the 50 levels again but this time you have new camo's and a new emblem letting everyone know how experienced you are with the game. Rebooting is a kind of prestige that a character works for.

Main Problems with it;

http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=19212&p=220754&hilit=reboot#p220754

1) Please follow this link and it shows a picture of the warning before rebooting (It's the third group of pictures down and the one to the left). It clearly states "rebooting your suit will reset your xp, rank and unlocks. Only your statistics will be retained". However, it's misleading. It states that our statistics will be retained but my Service Record and the majority of my Leaderboards stats have been deleted. I had over 6000 kills and was 26th in the world before rebooting and now I'm 60000th in the world and I lose all my win/loss ratio, etc. Amongst everything else.

Fix: Deleting all the stats on Service Record is fine as you are starting fresh again so this makes sense, but all the Leaderboard stats should remain in effect. If people like having their Leaderboard stats deleted then perhaps having another option before rebooting asking them if they want it or not would be the best way of dealing with this. Having the option makes everyone happy.

2) The benefit of doing the reboot is for new camo's for your weapons and a new emblem that let's everyone know that you are 1st, 2nd, 3rd reboot etc. The camo's are great I have no complaints. The emblem however is the same colour as the rest of the emblems on the game (green) and there is no possible way to identify by looking at them what reboot level a player is . Fix: Have different colour for each reboot. 1st reboot: purple, 2nd reboot: Yellow, etc. The colours are not important, I'll leave that to Crytek, just that there different each reboot please.

3) All the game modes are locked again. It takes someone a good 30+ hours to unlock the game modes on this game and then once you reboot you have to do the 30+ hours again. We've already proven that we are experienced and more or less competent at this game so the game modes should be unlocked for level 1 after rebooting. This is really important so please listen, I cann't play with my friends and clan because I have to play for 30+ hours until I am high enough to play with them. Also lower the game mode requirement level's please it takes far too long and stifles options, hardly anyone plays anything other than Instant Action, Team Instant Action, Crash Site and Assault. Lowering the requirement makes the game more fun and increase the amount of people in each playlist.

Less important ideas.

1) Extend the New Recruits playlist to level 15. I'm a 2.60 kd player and I found it ridiculously difficult to play Standard matches versus people that are level 21+. They have better weapons, they're silenced , vastly superior modules and a lot more energy to move around, jum, run and stealth. You are at a severe disadvantage and it's unbalanced. I'm still a good 2kd player even though I'm low level but's for someone that an average player the grind before the fun (getting the good guns/modules) is not worth 10+ hours of frustration.

2) Perhaps on reboot add in a feature that allows you to carry over one fully upgraded module? This would be great.

3) Please provide a list of the bonuses of each reboot. 1st reboot gives new camo's, challenges and a new emblem, but what does the next four do? Please advise.

If you have any questions then please let me know.

Excellent, now i understand the issue. Will pass this information on, thanks!
