Seriously, there will be a wipe in the future ? including prestige wtf

[GAALVIM]

will lose a lot of players for sure

[Strilter]

soooo don't invest time in the game until after they do that?

[C4NNED]

i dont think you will lose that many players on wipe. Just give prestiged players or early adopters some exclusive content for their loyalty and they will still play the game. I would say they should reroll zero to hero quests on completion and impliment random challenges and keep all your progress on that line or else you just aint gonna see that many Capitol ships.

Tarkov wipes on a regular basis and they all Play over and over. Have to redo all stupid quests have to redo hideout etc.

1.0 Release should of course wipe all advantage you would have over a new buyer

Tarkov has no prestige

[nerdrage]

You mean people that got an early access will quit cause there is a wipe before or at release??

Those who buy early access usually are aware about those things. , Right?

but why reset the prestige?
this is not a alpha or beta stage.

Actually I think this is still a beta but I might be wrong. Still I don't expect my stuff to last in a Early Access no matter what , great if I can but never surprised if I can't.

Fortunately this isn't the case. Looter shooters like these thrive with a reset system. Let's imagine the game without a regular wipe schedule in place. It's great at first! I get to keep all my loot I've stashed up and all the ships I've built and enjoy flying!

Then my friend wants to join in. Will they need to grind for gear like I did? Surely not, they can use all my extra gear and use my extra money to help them get by! What if I don't have a friend with 100s of hours already, but I want to buy Marauders and get stuck in? Will I have to fight my way through 1000s of very well-geared and confident players to achieve the same things they did?

Now imagine the game with a wipe schedule. Every so many months, the game and all it's players are put back to a level playing field. Everyone is at the same stage once again and no one needs to boost/grind through missions as everyone has equal chances until the next wipe.

I hope I've articulated my point well enough to sway your mindset, if not I suggest you look for a solo RPG experience rather than a risky extraction shooter!

It's in beta now, we have 12 to 18 months (or more) before we leave beta and see version 1.0.

They don't plan to wipe anything after the game is released, but during early access they will wipe if necessary. They talked about it on a Q&A session a few weeks ago and said they'll give us plenty of notice before wipes occur.

You really have to expect this sort of thing with early access games. There may be situations where they have no choice but to wipe progress.

That raises a different point entirely. Optional resets and forced wipes are different things. If someone decides to personally reset their progress back to level one in the middle of a "wipe" to challenge themselves is a different discussion to "Everyone will reset on X date together"

At the moment there is absolutely no incentive to prestige other than cosmetics and inventory space. If you'd like to gain those things and play against thicc bois for the rest of the reset then be my guest! My point is, not everyone will, compared to a forced communal reset.

If they choose to have a semi-regular wipe cycle, I will probably put this game away for a long time until it doesn't anymore. At that point Il just go back to Tarkov.

Tarkov also wipes, though? I don't understand what conclusion you're coming to

Its a video game. Go outside and touch the grass.
