No official servers without 6 months wipe?

[X-SR71]

Seems all the official servers have scheduled 6 months wipe. Are we doomed to keep to have to start over on official servers?

if you're going to play that long just host your own private server, lets be honest

Its easy to say that but then you miss the community factor, I started the game playing in some private hosted servers because official ones was to full, then when these private died I moved to one oficial and meet a person who started day one and had 2 castle with 100% blood of all servants in the game with all colors so yeah, people who like longs run exist, may not be majority but im not saying all servers should not reset, just should be options of servers with reset and without reset

but you can host your own 'public' server too and have the community...

wow such a pro player, and having time to figure out, maybe sometime you will find out :p

I played on launch on a full loot pvp server. It took 3 days to finish all the content and I do so whilst working 48 hour weeks.

I think you might just be bad at the game if six months isnt enough time for a pve server.

lmao sorry pro player with small brain, maybe one day I tell you the secret

Are you gonna pay me for that? You can do it with reset servers too what is the problem with have options with dedicated oficial servers?

[X-SR71]

I don't know about you, but previsouly I had started late on a "Limited" territory official server and was fine with it. Still found a plot of land and played until I learned of the May 17th wipe.

The castle heart decay mechanic was enough to keep active players. No need for scheduled PVE server wipes.

You can host it on your own pc, that's what im doing, lol
either way it seems like you want something very little people in the community care about, hence the decision, so idk how to help you

You're not even going to play that long, let's be real here.

True that, besides, the content isn't massive anyway, even once every 1-2 months would be fine too, 6 months is overkill

Yeah, until 1.0 hits, and they add some emergent gameplay for end game, having to wipe after 6 months is no big deal.

Please don't take away more from the gaming world.

While I agree with the main underlying idea of your rant that games should be enjoyed the way they're meant by the devs and that some type of games by design requires some "investment" that not all have, I find your vision of gamers and gaming world quite sad.

In my opinion Gaming is not reserved to some elite who can commit to a given minimum time of their life to be awarded the "gamer" badge and that others without the same comitment are taking from their enjoyment.
I used to play a lot of hours but now, as many ppl I have to work and even a toddler to take care of, but I still consider myself a gamer even if I can barely play 45min sessions or not at all some days. We're all part of the gaming world (yes even sims players) even if you wished otherwise.

That said, I agree that not all games should be disgned for the same time frame, and those that I cannot afford the time I pass even if I wished I could play them. There are games for all the tastes and time involvement.

That's why they created the ability to have private servers, and for people to host their own servers with their own rules.

But lets be clear. The game is still in early access. More likely than not, there will be more server wipes after the next big update anyways. We should really be saving complaints like this for after the game is released.

As more content gets added, the traditional 1 month wipe feels very short, the 3 months server sounds perfect.

One month wipes are only on PvP servers, which also have 3 month servers as well. With PvP, wipes are more important, because a big part of the emergent gameplay, is the battle over resources while you are teching up. Like killing someone on their way back from a copper run, preventing them from getting new weapons right away.

Also, once people start to hit max level, they will basically become overpowered bullies to anyone new that joins a server.

I've played V Rising since day one and we always had a 'home' PVP server. We could play with the building aspect and it stayed fairly active for the whole year before this patch. We even had raiding on the last week. With that said we played wipe servers and merciless.

In short I don't mind wipe option but am disappointed they left no long term servers.

[X-SR71]

They only punish active players with scheduled wipes, especially in PvE servers. Castle heart decay already gives space to new players as old ones stop playing, there's no need for wipes.

castle heart decay atm is too long, otherwise you'd be right. When a new player joins, he isn't going to go around and spend an hour looking for plots that might be decayed, he's just going to leave

Dude, just join a private server that aligns with your interests. If you can't find one, they're very easy to set up even if you're new. Google is flooded with guides on the subject if you run into trouble.

You're not being punished at all, what's up with the victim card? They manage servers based on how the wide majority of players use them.

And one other point - this game is in Early Access. Part of the deal is that you gotta be ready for a patch that breaks your save. Don't expect to run an Early Access game for six months, it's just not reasonable or sensible.

PS - If you manage to keep yourself busy in a single character for six months, please share your tips lol. This isn't exactly World of Warcraft here. You can 100% this game in less than a week and be bored out of your mind unless you're in a tight nit community that persists.

[Riff Raff]

To be fair most players should be able to 100% the game in ~50 hours. So even if you only play like 4 hours a week you should be able to clear in 3 months and that's including building a omega base. If you're playing less than 4 hours a week then.. well are you even playing?
