It’s one of the most hotly debated topics here on the forums. Players have been asking “Are we going to lose everything when the game comes out of Early Access?” and we’ve been nothing but honest with you. Up until now, that meant telling you that we hadn’t made a decision, and that the description you saw on the Steam store page was a placeholder disclaimer in case we decided in favor of a reset.
We promised to let players know when we made a decision for sure. We have: there will not be a reset.
We considered a reset because of concerns about the new player experience. After a lot of discussion internally, we’ve decided that a reset simply isn't the answer. We’re still working on the specifics of how we’re going to handle that, and when we know what we’re going to do for sure, we’ll – of course – tell you as well. In the interim, players can rejoice: there will be NO reset for Face Off.
That said, we would like to use this opportunity to ask you all to consider, when we come out of Early Access (date still pending), playing with starter decks to help players assimilate to the game.
We’ll be doing more previews soon, so keep an eye out!
