I do not agree a full reset would solve anything. As was said before in this topic I believe it will only delay the problem we are facing now. The ladder mode that was suggested means more servers and that's not possible at the moment (as far as I know).
What makes the game boring in my opinion is the constant shieldwalling. A couple of good people stand in the shieldwall with some slashers and archers around it and Odin is probably reached within an hour and a half. The solution to this wouldn't be a full reset, or making hard mode even harder (these things will only make many people ragequit instantly or frustrate new people to hardmode). The solution is to remove or make harder the shieldwalling (by nerfing maps) and offer other playstyles so that the players aren't lost completely and eventually ragequit either way.
Kip's idea of letting the Nords come gradually per wave does appeal to me since it gives us something new to try, but I also think it is not really what the goal NI of should be. Maybe it would be nice to have different playstyles on different maps though? For example, creating one map where the Nords spawn over time in the same wave, and *insert other playstyle* on the other?
I hope I didn't repeat myself too much :\ I tried to give a better view on my ideas after reading other posts in this topic
By the way, I really like the fact that in this mod, people are actively giving their ideas and responding to others and that the devs also regularly check up on these topics
Looking forward to the next patch!
