Announcing 1.1 Refresh & Cycle Event - The Imperial Uprising

Anyways id love to hear others thoughts on suggestions to improve these mid cycle resets so players dont have to be forced to play legacy just to keep playing cycle patch characters.

From my post #422:

@Ghoultek

IF EHG were to communicate the following and commit to it of course:

• <==== variable length cycle with major X.Y patch attachment ====>
• <==== fixed length season within a cycle ====>
• <==== semi-fixed length season within a cycle ====>
• <=== resets between seasons with some resets on cycle boundaries ===>

I think there would be less opportunity for negative emotions.

[== Long Variable Length Cycle (LVLC) ====================================]
[season #1] [R] [season #2] [R] [season #3] [R] [season #4] [R] [season #5] [R] [==EoC==]

In the above there are 5 seasons. “R” = reset. “EoC” = End of Cycle
The use of the word and concept of “cycle” is a bit overloaded. I think we should switch mid/sub-cycle to season. The LVLC gets the X.Y major patches while seasons can come with or without a patch. The above still allows for the EHG to preempt a season due to something going terribly wrong.

@Kulze :
I’m going to assume your description of the econ situation to be accurate. If my assumption matches reality, then without serious changes to MG faction design, aren’t we doomed to repeat this same problem in the future?
