-->These rewards will be reset from time-to-time during until Open Beta. (new)<--

This is worded strangely so I can interpret it a couple ways. The "during until" is what confuses me. Does it mean that it will be reset until open beta or even during open beta? It just seems as if there is 1 extra word in the sentence.

What rewards will be reset? Does that mean that the founder mechs would be reset to stock form? What about other mechs? I don't think this means there will be resets after Aug 7th. A reset to me is defined as all the work/mechs/items purchased gets taken away and you start all over again like it is day 1. This looks like just some perks may get reset...maybe additional premium time?

Can someone clarify?

• When MWO goes Open Beta, all Founder's perks and rewards will be reset to 100% for the final time.
  
• Once in Open Beta, your premium account bonuses will begin, and any MC used will be permanently spent.

Wow, can't believe how serious this got. TBH it looked like it started out as a big ol' troll, considering that asking/answering the OP question involved walking a very fine line between good sources and identifying oneself as being a member of the Beta testers.

My Goodness all this talk of "yes there will be rests after Aug 7th," and "No there won;t Be resets!" just makes me think of this:



So, the White Zone is for loading and Unloading of passengers, and please, no stopping in the Red Zone!

On a slightly different topic, this sounds pretty funny Wheres it from?

Let me, I'm English so the English language is my special skill, like Kung-Fu. (j/k )


From 7th Aug onwards all founders will be in-game and able to use their perks, to buy stuff, upgrade mechs, etc..
However the game isn't final yet, and PGI cannot be sure that further balance tweaks won't be needed.


For instance, they might find that Founders buy combinations of gear that are later taken out, or unforeseen combinations of gear that are overpowered, etc..

So PGI obviously would need to remove those options, with me?

Since a load of people would have bought them already, this would require a wipe otherwise you'll have a bunch of people running around with loadouts that aren't possible to buy any more.

So for that reason (among others), while the game is still in closed beta (for our purposes this runs from 7th August until PGI say otherwise) there might well be occasional wipes, but your MC, bought mechs & C-Bills will all reset also, giving you a clean slate of perks which you can spend all over again.


All you would lose is the time spent choosing what to buy, *not* the actual perks themselves.


As to the XP earned from killing/scouting/etc, this might never be returned to you, or might be given back in bulk to allocate all over again; But in truth that's of little consequence because we only spent time earning that, not money (and will also alleviate the "problem" of all the founders being insanely more powerful than non-founders on day-1 which would alienate a lot of non-founders).


Reading the above posts this is the only logical interpretation, and tbh the only interpretation that would *not* result in an angry mob storming PGI.
It's also the only fair way to run an early-access/founders type scheme no matter who you are & I doubt the devs ever intended it any other way.

Bravo BigJim, you are indeed a master of Kung-prehension (OH YES I DID THAT)

Regardless of the number of resets, I'm looking forward to August 7 where we can get in and SEE what we can or can't do.

Do you mind posting a direct link to your information? I have searched all post by Bryan Ekman and cannot find a post from him stating that All Founders will be given their package on the 7th of August, but then will be reset at open beta?

This sounds like wrong information to me, and I have another thread http://mwomercs.com/...ch-a-short-faq/ by Faenwulf that contradicts what your quoting.

The way I understand is this:
On August 7th- All Pre-Orders get their packages, and no server wipe will occur after the inception.

Heres the link you requested.
