Start now or wait for next season?

[KimZero]

if progress will get wipe is it wise or okay to start now or wait til the wipes happen?

You should start now to clear out your starchrom and get all of the blueprints which will carry over.

If you interested in story so yes, it is very fast lvl farm to proceeed story, as for base building it is totally optional.

the "wipe" is more of a bank and reset, there's a lot of things to learn and progress to get before the world reset

Currently we are on the 3rd week for the people who played at launch.
You have different server with different timeline and week for the first season like for exemple if you wish to start to first week on first season you can also choose a server like that or you can start on the 2nd week and so on.
It's better to play now for all the reward that won't be wiped like mentionned before, blueprint, starchrom , reward etc...

People have misconception about the wipe and are so afraid like it's the end of the world.
It's only enery link (currency for buying stuff in game but this currency is hella easy to get)
weapon/armor , it doesn't matter too it's easy to make too.
Materials crafitng , it doesn't matter too , it's like every builder game , not hard to mining or whatever.
House, it doesn't really matter too like i recall tha dev said that we can save it & rebuild it like the pre-build house in game. If not, it's just building makers.
Level back to 1 but it's like the others game with season & it doesn't matter because you level fast enough.
Maybe i forgot something but the character wipe won't matter really, it's part of the gameplay for this type of game.
It's not like a MMO like WoW/DAOC/GW2/TESO/ARK... which the character leveling & items are far more important.

Cheers.

I feel like we need to start defining language in regards to these things. Season wipes implies you lose everything which isn't the case. We should start using things like "Season Bankings" and "Partial Wipes"

Al the server wont wipe same time for sure,I tryed to make a another character and the best i could get was on a server week 1 so alot of time there before wipe.

[Jaregon]

main thing is bp's and frags stay, starchroms stay, cosmetics and crisgems stay. *otherwise working towards a 6* leg bp would be impossible.*

[Padds]

its far easier to list what you loose, you loose your xp and your map clearence.

[Akameka]

new servers ares still in first or second week of the loop, so there is no reason to delay, really.

Altough if you do plan to play with your friends, you better convince them beforehand or you'll end up stuck in differents servers. They are planning to allow players to join full server with a friend code but that's for August... I do hope they will allow full character transfer as an exception given the fact all servers are yet similar and that friend joint was not available at start, but we will see.

I'm going to clarify this post.

Energy links get completely destroyed which means they are gone for good each season.
All other materials including weapons, armor, and any raw materials get banked, then you need to choose what you bring to the next season based on season dynamics. You need 390 000 energy links by chapter 6 to buy all of the starchrom season end chests, if you have any excess energy links you should consider just buying anything you see that you think is important to add to your season reserves.

Sadly whilst i am on the fence about seasonal content and happy to wait and see how it turns out. The fact a potential player has to ask this question is a barrier to entry to the game.

How many people are not asking this question and are just not playing. I don’t know i don’t speculate random made up numbers but it’s a fair and good question.

You can catch up easiely. Everything important you do now like getting starchrome, blueprints and mods will be available in the next season. So NOT playing right now will most likely make you weaker in the next season but not by a huge margin.

[Akameka]

the only thing that wipe is your level and map exploration ( and the basic "money")
All the rest is either fully kept or transfered to your hub area where you can spend a seasonal currency to transfert a part of it back to your new server (like your fully kitted legendary weapon for exemple). You'll also be able to sell the sh*t-tons of ressources you'll get from your previous season to get insane amount of "dust" to upgrade your hub area.

[Krush]

You could easily catch up if you started now... based on how much you play of course.
