Once the patch is out, can i still play on my server?

[Poool]

I bought the game a few days ago and i have actually 4 hours on it.
When the patch will go live. Can i enjoy it on my 4 hours server or do i need to restart a new server for the patch to be effective? (Without my save)
Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

So far i'm having a blast! The sun is a bit annoying, can't wait to have a roof above my head ahah

As it is a major patch, the devs have said you will have to restart to get the new content. Don't quote me on this, but I think it was possible with other patches to play old worlds. You just didn't get the new content. I never did that though, so I'm not certain it's a thing.

I'm glad someone else has found great enjoyment in the game, and you get used to playing around the sun. Later on it can even be a fun challenge to deliberately play in it.I Hope this helps. :D

you can probably go back in betas to 1.0

Yes, sadly, there will be a incompatible save with this major update. They had three major updates planned since early access.

Updates :
1.) Gloomrot
2.) Official 1.0 Release
3.) Planned But Not Defined - Updated

Three Planned Updates :
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1604030/view/3686797191080219894?l=english

You'll still be able to play your old save by reverting to a previous version but in order to play the new content update, you'll have to start over.

Play Old Incompatible Saves :
Right-Click V Rising > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > Select Game Version

I am sorry for your loss.

The Dev's never officially came out and told anyone. They kept it to themselves until it was forced out of them through questioning in discord. There was no official announcement. I know because the person who asked gets upset I even bring it up because he's the one who asked.

"Q: Will there be a forced wipe once the announced content releases?

A: Jeremy Bearson — Yup! It'll involve map changes and other deeper changes that require a new map to take effect, so if you want to play on the new stuff you need to update and generate a new map."

Thanks everyone for all the informations!
I'll wait the update then i'll go back to sucking blood of everything!

Do you know by any chance if we will have options to, at least, start with already most V Blood carriers unlocked?
I know that there is an option to start game with better gear to advance faster, but I would still need to manually kill every V blood which might take a whole day.

I believe, like you mentioned, you can only have gear levels unlocked. There's no option that I know of yet that will unlock V Bloods as if they were killed. You will still have to manually kill them.

Please create a new discussion about a new topic. But I believe, like you mentioned, you can only have gear levels unlocked. There's no option that I know of yet that will unlock V Bloods as if they were killed. You will still have to manually kill them.

Unless they remove it in 1.1 there is a setting on the last page of server settings when starting a new game/server, although I run solo only and don't know if it is true for non-solo games.

The three features there is starting gear tier, starting resources and finally just level. As in level 1-90. This final feature is equivalent of gear level possible at a certain point of killing V Bloods, and when you start the game you have V Bloods and their rewards (both crafting/building stuff, vampire powers and spells) unlocked to that level/tier.

Huh. Dang.

It was my first run and I played more than 30h to be at the end of chapter 2, and everything will just vanish because of a patch ???

If you want to keep playing your save, just turn off automatic updates in the property settings.

I just checked and I will save other people time.
Currently, it IS possible to unlock V bloods immediately upon starting a game.
I selected
- max gear level
- max resources
- max 90 level
on Brutal difficulty

And it instantly unlocked all V bloods up to level 89. Only 2 highest level bosses (level 91 and 93) are locked and need to be killed. But that's probably due to Brutal difficulty.

So, conclusion : unless developers change this, restarting a private server (solo or with friends) after wipe can be done very easily. Players will still need to rebuild castle, recapture slaves, regather spell gemstones.
But even so, it's VERY generous of developers.
They should really mention this in a big announcement, so that concerned players would not be afraid of the patch.

As per my post above, only the level part matters for V Blood. The level part unlocks V Blood rewards(Buildings/items/spells) up to the level you choose.

Ah, sorry, I quickly glanced over your past post and misunderstood what you meant.
