Server Wipes Explained

[Ardven]

Clarification on Server Wipe and Progress Rest.

So i see both sides still confused even after reading the recent dev post so let me put it into a TLDR!

What do you keep?
Gear Blueprints, Cosmetics, Furniture Formulas, Weapon Accessories, Mods Some Currencies.

What do you lose?
Everything else, Levels, Materials, Map Progress and so on!

What can you take to a New Season?

There is item transfer rule, so it may be limited to only Consumables so don't expect to take your maxed out gear or weapons to a new season, At least that's what we assume so far based on the info we have which is very vague.

We currently don't have more info on item transfer rule, it may change but i doubt because you can transfer items with a currency through playing Eternaland and it is Capped.

What is Eternaland?

For now it's a small private island where you keep your stuff and build if you like.

What about your House?
You get a House Blueprint for your house but there is no info if you have to farm resources for your house again or not.


PSA: there is a lot of language barrier between the devs and players, i don't know why they start with saying "you will lose nothing" and then in the next line they start with stuff you are losing which is a lot, it's a language barrier and it's getting confusing.

Is the stuff you keep cross server or is it tied to one server? Like after the 6 weeks is up, can I take my "Gear Blueprints, Cosmetics, Furniture Formulas, Weapon Accessories, Mods Some Currencies" and go on a new server with them or am I stuck forever on SEA 21? What happens if the server I'm on dies and no one plays it any more?

4. After the 6-week season server ends, will all my content (paid and non-paid) be deleted? If not, how will it be transferred/retained? Will they be transferred to the same character?
Of course not! We've noticed that many players are concerned about their progress being wiped after 6 weeks. Here, we want to formally assure you that
this will never happen! We greatly value the effort you put into the game. Items and gear obtained in the season scenario can be retained in various ways.
(1) The following content will always be retained with your character and will not change with the end of a season or server:
a. Important currencies: Starchrom, Crystgin, Mitsuko's Mark, Stellar Planula, and Sproutlet
b. Gear Blueprints (and their ratings), Blueprint Fragments, Weapon Accessories, and Mods
c. Furniture formulas (excluding those unlocked by Memetics; Memetic-unlocked parts will be based on the allocation of character Memetic Points)
d. All paid or free Cosmetics, including outfits, actions, namecards
e. House Blueprints: Once saved, you can restore buildings at any time (high-level materials will be replaced with low-level materials during reconstruction)
f. Main and side story task progress (Completed main/side story tasks can be re-completed in the simplified mode in the new season, with full rewards)
g. Your friends list will be fully retained, and you can view the member lists of Warbands you joined in previous seasons. You can also add former Warbands members as friends if needed
(2) When starting a new season, you can selectively carry some resources for your new journey:
Common resources such as materials, medicines, and bullets (can be partially carried according to transfer rules to support your growth in the new season)
(3) In the new season, your character will be reset to Lv.1, and the exploration progress of the World Map will be reset as well. This ensures all players start the new season on an equal footing and can enjoy playing together. New scenario types often offer different map designs, providing new exploration experience and rewards. Each season server will also offer new season challenges to earn new rewards.

That is very stupid. Not all people wants to grind game forever and starting over and over from beginning. Create endless servers, create season-wipe servers, both sides of gamer will be satisfied. Whats the problem here?

[Honorble Gembel]

if they wipe out our blueprint, then what the point we play this sutpid game???, for me who enjoy slow grinding + explore + find new spot for make base + chill in base with radiao, its sad as fk ==, good game for slow but the rule is SUCKKKKKKKKKKK

"IV. Why does each scenario last six weeks?
Different scenarios have different durations. The two existing scenarios are 6 weeks in length. Future scenario seasons might have longer or shorter durations. There might also be some permanent scenarios for players to enjoy in the game."

does permanent scenario means no wipe?

and also do we keep the deviations that we captured?

What if i dont wanna rush and be forced to race since i will not have time what if i can play 1-2 h a day how can you enjoy it
People say that its easy but i havent seen top geared players this is not easy it takes time and it's forcing you to play fast or you lose kaching up and playng with the people tat can spend more time and money...

Agree with you, I don't like to rush things out, I like to take my time, explore, enjoy the game and all it has to offer, season seems quite short to explore all the map, it's huge, it tooke me a full sunday playing and I still haven't cleared the first map zone, not to mention that I don't really like building, so it's gonna be a pain in the ass needing to build everything again every season, unless they actually give us a blueprint with all the furnitures in place, I think they should do persistent worlds you know, at least the PVE ones, and wipe out the PVP ones, cause if you're playing for the PVP, it makes sense to do a wipe, so new people have the chance to fight against old players, but for PVE it makes no sense at all.

Just quit and go play real survival game

I will just say this: At this point the developers have attempted to explain their seasonal model in public announcements at least three separate times.

If it is still ambiguous at this point it is because they want it to be. And that tells you everything you need to know about how concerned you should be.

You'll be going to a new scenario that's pretty much it, it's so they can have catastrophic things like the world being blown up.
Some people act like its the end of the world, thats their opinion and it is quite literally the end of the world in game at least at the end of this scenario so i dunno its all opinions. It seems fine to me personally

I just found out about the server wipe thing and I literally don't want to play anymore. I just spent all this time building my gear and doing quests and to what lose it all? Nah. I'm out.

[audio0411]

From what I understand anything not able to be transferred goes to Eternaland which is like a private server for you alone to test builds and build stuff and what ever. Each wipe that is where your stuff will go, you will also be able to tranfer certain stuff over and only a certain amount of stuff per season. I also don't beleive you lose any skins and premium stuff. So really all it is, they create a bunch of new stuff and every one starts from essentially the same place at the beginning of a season Diablo 4 has the same system basically. So this isn't new just this genre hasn't done anything like it so folks are gonna freak. I am sure after it happens it won't be as bad as they think and this freak out will just be a memory. Just like how some people are freaking about the privacy policy which is standard and most of the invasive stuff only applies to folks in China. If they do this server wipe thing wrong it will hurt the game pretty bad, but if they do it how I think they are, it won't be a big problem and will be more inclusive because the newer players won't feel as behind, the players that have been around will also not feel like their work doesn't matter. It is a fine balance to walk, let's see how it goes ^_^.

Watching someone trying to convince everyone that a partial wipe is somehow better than no wipe will never cease being strange to me.
