I hope the powers that be will look at this and realize what kind of stress this places upon players that chose to spend their time/$ on this game to build and create something — especially those that create something large that a lot of players use.

It’s one thing to have a fully completed retail game that receives slight tweaks here and there, that doesn’t really alter anything fundamental. Applying beacon/plot changes on current builds in the retail/live version of the game can be considered devastating by players. As bad as a game reset, file corruption/loss, account being hacked etc.

To have to stop playing the game & switch gears into damage control bc the game changed --is really hard on players. That’s why some games make a 2.0, 3.0, etc.

I’ll remove as much as I can, but it will def take away from what I had planned to do. I can totally see the reasoning behind the changes…just once again…hard to deal with when applied to current builds.
