Game Upcoming Changes to Multiplayer, Gamejolt

[MrHippocrit]

I get it, I am upset too.
Anyways, I spent almost 150 hours on this game, playing, leveling, evolving, breeding, whatever. To lose aaaaall that is painful. But I am not going to feel bad. I just look at it like a fresh start and this time, without cheaters and what other problems they managed to fix. For a more enjoyable gameplay and everything, I'd be almost be happy with abandoning my save in which I spent a lot of time.

There're no reasons to be rude about it. (Not talking to you in specific, just people in general. )

I guess the main reason I'm feeling frustrated about this is that I had some difficulties against the Cianwood Gym Leader. My Noctowl kept getting knocked out after two turns against his Primeape, until I finally got lucky and hit him with Hypnosis and even then the leader kept using Hyper Potions over and over again and Peck just wasn't powerful enough. I didn't wanna train up another bird Pokémon, so I ended up grinding my Noctowl to lvl 30-something, decided to count the Primeape's HP so I could try to crit him and defeat him fast enough so that he wouldn't be healed by Hyper Potions... Yeah, having to do that again is gonna be a pain. Also, that damn Farfetch'd puzzle... Oh lord, the pain. 'Twas so easy back in the day, the fancy 3D gfx made it so much more complicated xD
Besides, who knows how many times I'll have to do these things again. You convinced me this is possibly one of the last wipes, so I'm trying to be more positive about it. At least now I know what to expect, haha

The Cianwood gym was so easy for me. I had my Alakazam 1-shotted all his Pokémon except Poliwrath. Needed my Ampharos for that one.
That Farfetched Puzzle was annoying. I mean, REALLY annoying. It took me a couple of hours to finally get that puzzle done. Though a tip for my next run: Use repels. I did it without those at first, man.... All the Pokémon I met..... When I looked it up on the internet and saw how freaking easy it was in the original games, I went nuts. It really pissed me off. xD
The reason why I think this is most likely the last wipe is because the save will be be on a cloud and accesible from anywhere. Different PCs, etc. I also think after the update things will be secure enough to not have to wipe all our saves just to avoid cheaters or something. ^^

Even when I lookd it up online, it didn't go like how it showed me. :/ The way that Farfetched moves isn't exactly like in the Original games. It looked like it to me.

A lot was written about the online features of the game, some info was leaked by nilllzz. But wont we get something official for the game mechanics ? As far as I know ditto breed is fixed, what happened to the lag in some areas, is trade evolution and friendship evolution working 100% ?

I saw on the forums that there are a few people pretty good with the pixels, maybe they could donate backgrounds for the trainer cards ( I saw the pic nillzz posted on twitter, the background is terrible )

Trade evolutions are fixed. Lag is probably fixed by Darkfire, he had plenty of time to do so, is what I can imagine.

Great news!

I read all the comments and I don't see why people are complaining they will still be able to complete the story with the exact same save they have now, Its just 2 online features won't be available to that save, Plus I'm thinking of the reset as more of a Race to see who can get the highest level team , Also trading will be cooler knowing that the pokemon aren't duped or hacked , Shinys will be super special awesome instead of being "Hacked", Just be happy we are finally seeing the fruits of the staff's work after 2+ weeks of waiting

If I understood it correctly, it's not just "2 online features", every single online feature from now on that doesn't involve using Hamachi will require a online save.

Its PvP and Trading , Co-Op play can still be done exactly the same way without an Online account... But that wasn't the point of my post anyway It was that you guys are complaining over a small thing,Your old saves will stay the same they won't disappear, Sure starting again might be a drag but in the long run it will be worth it.

 

[RaulMarq]

...you guys are complaining over a small thing...

It may be a small thing to you, but it's a big deal for some people. Anyway, I do agree with you that in the long run it'll be worth it.

I know he acted in a rude way there, but we can't blame him for being upset. Many games in public alpha/beta stages don't ever need to do any wipes whatsoever, so it's not all that common to start from scratch like this if you wanna have access to all the online features without cheaters (I've never used any cheats, BTW. All my Pokémon are legit). Well, at least now we all know that stuff like this can happen at any time, so don't get attached to anything AT ALL in this game, there's always a chance you'll lose everything if you want the full game experience.

we have literally no way of knowing what files are cheated or not, and your saves aren't even being wiped. :| we are making a new parallel save system that is online only, not a save wipe.

I agree with the both of you, it isn't a small thing since people like me have spent a lot of time into their saves, but the save will still be there and since there is no way to find out which Pokémon is hacked or whatever you will have to start over again. This is logical and there's nothing you can do about it.
Complaining about it is.... understandable. But you don't need to be rude about it.

So is there an update in the next day or so?

 

[DracoHouston]

why are you guys complaining that you have to start all over on the online version, its better than going up against a guy with a hacked lvl 500 charzard or something

Sure, it may be better, but it doesn't negate the fact that I've already put a fair amount of time into the game. It's very frustrating to have to abandon it all like this if I wanna get rid of the cheaters, especially for someone like me, who hates losing progress and saves every game obsessively. Luckily, not many people are like me, at least I hope.

we understand this is a pain in the arse, but a lot of people would just be playing this singleplayer so personally i'm expecting a mjority to use the local saves, never make a post on the forum and maybe LAN with someone. the gamejolt saves are for people that want an always online connected experience.

i wouldnt be too pesimistic about offline mode's future in PvP, the saves being editable is a huge draw card for that. in time mods will make it even easier.

why are you guys complaining that you have to start all over on the online version, its better than going up against a guy with a hacked lvl 500 charzard or something

like my level 100 999 in all stats charizard named 'TestZard'

we're gunna clamp stats some time probably to stop that for player pokemon so you at least can't cheat up a pokemon that is totally unattainable by normal play, just skip the whole process of catching and training

once you start off with gamejolt, isnt it possible to have an offline encrypted save file kinda like in minecraft?
