Okay, not sure how to write this out where the readers interpretation is on par with the content of the suggestion.

"Individual Ladder Reset"

Basically, NO LADDER reset for that core (Soft or Hard), it becomes YOUR goal to Reset YOUR Ladder FOR your account (username) playing.

There is a benefit for this, when a person resets Ladder, it only affects their profile (username etc) and letting the rest of the players continue playing on their own character(s) to try and accomplish reset for themselves in their own time.

WAIT FOR IT: This does NOT impact on your Guild or Guild points, in reality it is better all round, the person that did reset goes back to feeder class, but the rest of the guild can still be playing their unlocked characters, also it just means restarting that persons character.

There are other things that could come from this, even individual competitions within the Guild or with others... I had a few in mind, just thinking if others could come up with some, or maybe it keeps server clean and people not waiting on both cores when one of them is reset.

voted No because:

in my opinion a ladder reset is about competing with other players, don't really see the competition to reset my own ladder

pretty sure that suggestion would also lead to a lot of frustration within the player base at some point. It is really hard to pass 5 and 6 door classes. If i understand your suggestion correctly at some point many people would be stuck at these high door classes and most likely will be frustrated after a while cause they simply won't be able to play enough to pass them (if they are not extremly lucky) Their only chance to get some easy passes would be to play multiple characters, what is also not the focuse of many people, cause most try to improve profs on their main character. That is also the reason why a new season always attracts players to come back to play.


i assume the reason for this suggestion is that some player would want to test some of the higher classes as well, but they can't reach it before the ladder gets a reset: my suggestion would be to give everyone the option to chose 1 climb a week to play whatever character they want (no gps and prof gained from this climb) including an automatic character reroll after 24h from selecting this once a week special climb

Actually the suggestion was more around people just setting themselves a new goal by unlocking the next character before Reset happens and you have to start over again.

Having a chance to just play that class for a week like you explained, doesn't give anyone any real satisfaction in comparison.

Just a different perspective on it... I am lucky, I play Hardcore and it doesn't get reset as fast as Softcore, so I can play my 15 characters and unlock them sporadically at my leisure. :D

But again... different perspectives, and the goal is only set by the player. :D
