What's the point of Nanosuit Reboot ?

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:26 pm

Why Reboot your nanosuit ?
You lose your rankings,and all your hard work, and just for an extra skin , wouldnt it be better that you keep your rank on the leader boards , and all unlocked weapons and attachments and suit enhancements .
But each time you reboot you have to max out your enhancements again , and each time you max level you gain additional power and abilities, i.e , 2 power nodes 2 stealth nodes , 2 armour nodes , instead of having just 1 of each . so you have a reason to Reboot , in the long run each time you get level 50 you can reboot and have even more enhancements available .
It would make it much more worth everyones while to put in effort to reboot and get to level 50 each time , to become even more powerful and make the game more fun, lengthening the games shelf life .
What do you think Crytek ?

I think two nodes for each would make the already overpowered learning curve even more so.
I think what should happen proper is your total stats shouldn't reset (like kills, etc) but everything else should. Maybe get an extra Create-a-Class each time. In this regards, sadly, I think CoD got the idea right.

I spent a week at 50 and I got bored. I also wanted to see what my k/d would be if I started at rank 1 knowing what I was doing.

Yeah this seems like the real reason for it. To see if you actually improved as a base player because of your skill and not because of your leveled-up modules/weapons.

Two modules for each module class would be OP. Rebooting is loosely tied to skill, as good player will rank up a lot faster than noobs, but mostly it's just how much time you put in the game.

I think that getting a dogtag at 1st and 5th reboot is good, getting new emblems and being awarded new CELL camo's is good enough. This is a little more than you get in COD.

Having to unlock weapons, modules etc is the whole purpose of rebooting? The point of rising through the ranks is to go from "zero to hero" again. Allowing all these to be maintained after rebooting what take the point of rebooting away. Rebooting like rebooting a computer is about starting over again.

I do agree however with Kills in the Leaderboards being reset after reboot. I see no point doing this and it only discourages people from wanting to reboot. I have rebooted 5 times and if I hadn't I would have over 35k kill and be in the top 10 probably.

Reseting the suit is ok , but losing your rank on the leaderboards is the problem to me , losing your kill streak and kills on the boards is to harsh to me.
and to have to start all of it again when you got a busy life how you gonna get the time to get back to your original rank???

You don't lose your rank on the Leaderboard.. let's say I am 250th in the world for xp, it will still be the same after rebooting unless someone gets more xp than me in that time it takes to reboot. Losing kills is absurd no reason for this whatsoever!

I kinda mind losing my Service Record stuff and I don't. If you want to improve your KD then kills and deaths would need removing from the Service Records (but not the Leaderboards), however things like highest kills streak is annoying. I had a killstreak of 61 last reboot and lost it :(

Agreed. I actually feel quite idiotic, I was enjoying my time at 50 then realized I had gotten myself within the Top 100 on the global board, now I don't want to reboot. I'm not super-competitive, but its nice being able to say that you are ranked globally, and seeing that rank continue to increase (now sub-80) is really nice too, it gives me further motivation than rebooting does. If I had rebooted right when I hit rank 50, that situation wouldn't have occured, but now it has and I don't want to reboot.

You in the top 100 on kills or xp? If the former you will lose your rank for rebooting, if the latter you won't.

Top 100 in Kills, Wins, and Skill Kills. Not XP (due to boosters).

I have a lot of friends who have rebooted, so I'm aware of what I would lose if I do so. And I don't really wanna do it....

Yeah I've rebooted 5 times also so I know too :(

Yeah you lose all of them except XP. In my opinion, the enjoyment I get from getting the reboot rewards (camo's and dog tags) and the new emblems plus the enjoyment I get from rebooting and having to start myself from scratch and start over far outweighs some numbers in an obscure screen that nobody really cares about (other than you of course).

I'm usually the same as you. I'm not super-competitive usually. But when I start getting higher on Global ranks, that changes a bit. There have been other games I have been in the top 10 on globally, and I know how the draw can be when you get up there. Its just a bit of prestige, don't we all wanna be a bit famous? ;)

I've just hit reboot, but I want to get a few assessments for a 10k bonus before I do. What exactly do I loose Kaza?

I know you loose
Every stat excluding XP
Guns
Moduels
Game modes

Will I loose
Dog tags
skill kill in the general options. Will I have to do each skill kill again for the achievement because I only have psycho to do.

I want to be 100% sure before I reboot.

Because us Crysis players don't generally care for the Call of Duty side of things... I don't, I think having the Killstreaks and the Titles, emblems etc don't originally come from COD Anyway... Hell, the only thing originally from Call of Duty is Class Unlock.

Emblems were originally from Street Fighter, maybe even an earlier game... Killstreaks were first originally used in Starwars battlefront 2. Each game takes ideas from other games with good ideas and makes them better. I got Crysis 2 because I was sick of Cod Black Ops, adding what YOU just said, I would have a Black Ops game with nanosuits... though in Black Ops you are pretty much a superhuman anyway... easy as piss...

I thought the same as you, until the realisation that the reason I was so high in global ranks was because of all the people above me dropping down when they rebooted.
Made the achievement less satisfying when I looked at it like that.
It's a stupid idea having all of your stats apart from xp reset...the rest give you an idea of how good you are as a player, being high up on the xp leaderboard just shows you have played a lot.

LOOOL

I never thought of that! People who haven't rebooted have false stats anyway since people who have achieved more have been reset hahahahahahaha

Funny how I'm rank 10000+ on my 5th reboot and yet a normal level 50 can be in the Top 100.

They should never reset kills! I don't mind having my Service Record deleted but anything in the Leaderboard needs to stay.

You can't blame people for not rebooting. You are the one with the false stats.
I would have rebooted if it didn't reset all my kills. Too bad it does. I would have been at the 5th reboot by now. I'm ranked 53th right now and I'm not resetting that for a couple of weapon skins.

Dude did you read what I wrote?

1) People that haven't rebooted don't have real stats. You might be 53rd (it take it you mean kills), but you are only that because other people have rebooted otherwise you would be LOWER! I know plently of amazing players, who totally kick ass who have rebooted once or twice already.

2) Also, people that have rebooted have false stats as well! Our kills, wins, skill kills are reset.

EVERYONE HAS FALSE STATS! No-Reboot and Reboot people alike...No reason for anyone to feel proud of themselves of their stats, except for XP. People should stop being delusional and thinking their better than you are... funny that people who think their say 100 in the world are realistically 1000th in the world loooooooool

I've rebooted 5 times and would have over 35k kills and about 250th in XP in the world (due to 95% of those above me being boosters) I should be in the top 10 in about everything now, except XP. But I'm probably 10000th in the world... bullsh*t!

My stats actually represent what I did in the game. Yours do not. The leaderboards not accurate. I am not going to reboot, because I will lose my accurate stats. Thats what I was trying to convey.

A month and a half ago I was in the top 30 players with kills. Then the gears 3 beta arrived. I didn't really play crysis for about a month. Two weeks ago I was 90 something. I have about 13000 kills. I bet I would be in the top 100 regardless of the rebooting stat reset issue.

I understand what you're saying, you're correct in saying YOUR stats are correct, that is a fact. What I and DiscoDa are saying is that since others have rebooted then your stats have NO WEIGHT. They are accurate, but are meaningless. There is a difference.

If the rebooted people kept their stats then your stats would have meaning, but they don't. Your 53rd would be true, but if as it stands now you could "really" be say 350th. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, I'm not attacking or trolling you.

EVERYONE has been f***ed over, that's why I agree with DiscoDa point of view. If you're stats are MEANINGLESS (because in reality possible hundreds of people should have much higher ranking in leaderboards than you) then your stats don't mean anything.

There is a simple solution. Make everyone who rebooted take presidence on the leaderboards. That is to say rank players by reboot & kills made in that reboot level.

A leaderboard example would look like;

1.) Tom (Reboot 3/Rank 23) 54 kills
2.) dike (Reboot 2/Rank 45) 195 kills
3.) Harry (Reboot 1/Rank 10) 21 kills
4.) Dave (Reboot 0/Rank 50) 1556 kills

Fixes the problem right and to me seems like an easy way to sort it. Since the XP leaderboard doesnt reset that can be left "as is".

What's even easier?

Not losing kills and skill in the first place each reboot. Then these would carry over each reboot and a real stats would show on the leaderboard. No-one has real stats, complete BS system and to make it even funnier is that most of the top 200 are boosters. I can't seem to get above 250th place in XP, a booster can make more XP in one game than I can in 10. I don't get why they don't ban then, it's obvious they cheat by there play time.

They should also not count a lose for losing any game when you have a red bar. They should put in a command that states "If leave session option is selected AND player has 1 bar then no loss is given." Where they really expecting you to win when you're teleporting all over the place and it takes literally 12 melee's to kill someone while there standing still?
