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!
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;

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 t
here 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!
Cry-Adam,
Any news on the above?
The information regarding what is given each reboot what be amazing. This should be the easiest to obtain. I've searched all over the internet, including this forums and I cannot find anything officially released by Crytek detailing what we get.
