Economy on HC is a myth.
Imo no reset. Well always was 12months. but I don't care tbh... Maybe reset after a month of this patch, to test things out, how a new boss performs, new skill changes. Too much of this.

I'd rather not reset test a patch. It turns out bad don't catch things for awhile and things can't be tweaked accordingly. Maybe after 1-2 months we can then reset.

I dont really mind a reset since it would be really fun to be apart of the begining of a season, when no one can rush and shit. Get a real good party going and stuff.
Though I guess keeping my chars that has taken me quite a while to lvl up would be kinda nice

Let's face it... if we reset upon testing the patch... There's absolutely no way we could get any sort of testing done on the new boss immediately since he's supposed to be a hell only uber boss. Also there would be no way to test out the high items immediately as well. When I was talking to Pious earlier even he was of the mind we should let the new patch test run a week on the server before resetting to make sure there were no big problems.

I don't think we should play without a reset for 4 months

i want for the patch to be uploaded for a month or so before there is a reset. that way adequate testing can be done and changes can be made without players losing their current characters.

hey guys... if theres gonna be a reset strait after the new patch, i think a fair few people will be like: you know what fuck it. there just gonna delete my char anyway i aint making another. so i dont recommend a patch just yet because youll probly lose some players and they wont be back for a while (not referring to myself just a opinion that makes sense i think)

if you never plan to make another character perhaps you should play the sp version where you can keep your character forever and ever.
I think a month or two months even would be ideal to be able to test everything out. gives time to make adjustments if needed too. much better than playing out all 12 months of the ladder that will forever be psn unleashed.

A test run is a much better way to find out if the changes brought the community into more agreement about the proper, and possibly final, state of this (insert many superlatives) mod.

Maybe not a reset straight away, so the patch can be tested of course!

But i dont think it should be long before we think about a reset after testing. Maybe as pious said to waiting a short time (i think a week of testing is fine personally at this stage)

Soon as the patch is tested and good, a reset would be nice, get the hunger going again.

I feel now, like when you have a large number of finished chars, all you're doing is rushing them through to hell with minimal real games going on in normal

Voted number 1. If the consensus is to try out the patch for a month or 2 (let's assume it drops by August), then we're actually almost at the annual reset time anyways. I wouldn't be bothered if we reset now, but I think it'd be smart to test it out first.

things worth testing are melee vs bosses(vs trash it's hard to help them due to nature of these). Hammerdins vs anything, zealers vs world, new mental sins, maybe venom psn. While these are ok we can get a list of wishes for next update (??) before a reset which should be soon.

The only thing to be concerned about is the askewed values concerning the old items that will still linger.

If we are worried about the melee vs bosses then we need to make sure they are wearing only the newly modified gear (or gear that was never changed) otherwise these values can be a false positive/negative

Im for a week for sure possibly more if needed to test. Thing people are getting comfortable with is set dates. If the patch needs only a week and we give it a month whats the point? And vice versa, if it needs a month and we only give it a week then we have problems. Leave it up to a timeframe, like a week to 4 then a reset will come.

This. Most reasonable post about reset.
