Enjoying the game but the wipe...

[Mandril]

hate all my hardwork getting deleted...

It will, so dont get attached. If for isnt, then LOLOLOLOL. Thou it needs more. I can only guess you're considering what you lose, given why they would do a wipe? Thou then a wipe is more then needed. Its gonna be interesting how they deal with this.

[VonFIDDE]

It feels needed, too much unbalance at the moment. Got 10 toons, but i see it as a long season :D.

If they wipe lots of people will stop playing because of there time being wasted.

This is a matter of perspective that honestly everyone is responsible for understanding individually. Most people wont be able to change that perspective but I will offer some help as someone who has.

For eg. if you have a max level character with the most rare item/s you could imagine and might not ever obtain that item again and they delete everything.

You now have a choice you can either see it as a loss and wallow in missery or you can see it as something you know is possible and now have a new goal and reason to grind again.

Usually once you have the best items already the game becomes boring because nothing to grind for, if you dont have the best stuff then you dont really lose much.

*their*

Anyone expecting otherwise doesn't understand what EA means. There will probably be multiple wipes before 1.0.

A number of people will, sadly... Thou they brought into an early access game. Go figure. There are the things when buying into an early access game.... I can only think they did while not haven't the understanding of what they brought. Tourists, just tourists, its funny.

Don't put in so many hours. I hit my 20 hours and i'm calling it good for now. I loved what i played buti can't justify putting 60+ hours i'd like to into it to start all over again from scratch. So i'm moving on. Might check out the bow/inventory update when it comes for a night but then that's kind of it. No desire to lose 60+ hours of gameplay i'd rather walk away happy now and return with good feelings later. Than put in a ton of hours and be pissed it all got wiped out.

I didnot hear about them wiping. Where did you find this info so I could read it for myself?

20 hours, I put in nearly 100 and I still have not completed a Crucible once yet nor experimented with more than a couple weapon abilities, mind you I spent the first 60 hours pumping stats into stamina on a character and had to start over and then decided I put too much into equip load so now on a third for real this time, I cant even imagine how long it would take me to make a few more characters with proper stats for different weapons like dex faith character instead of all strength. Personally I really like the blood sword you can buy at the blacksmith until i can get my hands on Rusty Khopesh and find one with the stats I want.

who cares, its early access. i've deleted all my characters and realms last week and started a new to make it more fun. they're gonna add a respec option soon so that you wont have to make new chars to try out new builds anyway so a wipe won't even matter

Pretty sure its just speculation based on other EA game releases. Wipes are not super common for single player games, but can happen if they change some underlying mechanic enough that it breaks things.

[MaxxGold]

From what I understand there are not going to be any wipes. If someone has any information otherwise, then post it.

That being said, I would welcome starting a new character and playing through again.

and why would a wipe, or better, instead of a wipe, why does your current data should not be accepted when multiplayer is delivered?

simple.. maybe you did nothing wrong, but it's so easy to duplicate items, create characters at max level.. and many people may have done it, the game developer knows how easy it is to manipulate the data.. and yet, it's single player at this moment, why do they care? - they don't.. and they shouldn't.

when multiplayer arrives, they need to be concerned one person does not have unfair advantage over another.. and this means, all the previous data right MUST be invalidated.

it will be a fresh start anyways, hopefully content becomes much harder, so we get to experience the game one more time and even better, maybe they adjust all items so we end up needing new ones anyways.

They could pull a Diablo 2 style Battlenet where the online characters are separate from single player local characters. They store the multi characters on their servers, protected from local shannigans. That is one way they could implement multiplayer without a wipe.

or you can check the assemblies in the delivered Unity project and realise they have already chose for Photon Quantum and they will need to rework entities..

I've already told you before, you must research before posting.. your opinion is irrelevant.. once more, I'm not using opinion here, it's already on the files.. it's what they are doing.. got it?

no one will do Battle.net, stop dreaming.. they will use a service that provides most if not all they need so they don't have to re-invent the wheel, meaning, they can keep afloat and avoid extra costs with, let's say, infrastructure.

I got it.. You are a complete know it all, every post, every thread, you are the only one that knows anything at all, you have all the real answers... Got it. Good lord, you must really be fun at parties.

and I'm not.. I'm a software developer, we are talking about software.. and this is my area, so sure.. I do know.

every single time you put your crazy assumptions to others I will come and perhaps slap your wrist, maybe with time you will understand and stop making these mistakes.. you cannot, or even better, you should not talk about crap you have no clue about.

you see.. I'm trying to teach you stuff so you get better, all you have to do is try to learn.

You are deluded. Seek help, touch grass. You are incapable of teaching when you are so closed off to any other idea that didnt originate in your own smooth brain.
