I'm kinda iffy on that cause it does kinda fuck up the people who can only dedicate weekends to gaming

With the state the game got itself into in the last month, please believe me when I say it does the exact opposite. Game was basically unplayable for anyone who hadn't grinded like a full-time job, because the late game gear was so wildly better than everything else you were literally non-competitive. Some balance adjustments and a full wipe were very much required here to level the field again for a bit.

I'm not sure. I certainly am not a pro Wardogs player, I don't even have access to level 3 helmets. But it pushed me to try other ways to make money, by sniping, ferrying, reviving, building. And in the end that stuff made a difference.

I'm not against wipes, but I'm also not totally for them either. Maybe a more creative solution is needed.

Maybe a more creative solution is needed.

They've already presented some of their plans for that, like the "betting on yourself" stuff that appears to perform in a match/life that's in progress and the RPG-style role things in progress.

They're definitely being more aggressive with balance, design, and short seasons right now because it's an Early Access game where they want to spend a couple of years letting the players define the final product. They've said 1.0 is expected to launch in about 2 years.

For sure, for early access it's still very fun
