I’ve been thinking about how wild it would be if, instead of successfully containing the black hole, the game just reset everything — the map, player equipment, and progress — back to the very start. Imagine losing all your hard-earned gear and progress in one go. Do you think that scenario would be exciting or frustrating for players?

I get the idea of a big reset being like a fresh start, which can be exciting for some players who enjoy the challenge. But for many, especially those invested in their character’s growth, losing everything suddenly wouldn’t feel cool at all.
Honestly, losing all your progress like that could be pretty harsh. After spending dozens or even hundreds of hours leveling up and gathering gear, having it all wiped out in a blink might just feel punishing rather than fun.
It would definitely shake things up. Some people love hardcore modes where death or failure has serious consequences, and resetting could fit that vibe. But the majority probably want to keep advances they’ve worked hard for, so balance is key.
I think if such a reset happened, it should come with some sort of reward or unlock to lessen the blow—for example, cosmetic items or achievements that stick around even after the reset. That way, the setback feels less brutal and more like part of the game’s cycle.
Great points everyone! I guess it boils down to how the game frames that reset — brutal punishment or an exciting challenge with perks. Thanks for sharing your takes!
Totally! It’d need to feel fair or players might just quit instead of trying again.
