Will there be a wipe in the new patch 0.3?

[Max_Armored]

I spent about 60 hours to unlock the merchants and use the weapons I like, I would hate to find out that in the new patch I have to start all over again

Hi,
Yes, with every major update, a wipe is expected.
That means everyone will start equally from the beginning,
and anyone who purchased a DLC will still receive the additional content as well.

Y with the big updates come new features and new or altered code and this won't play nice with your saved file, so they have to wipe.

I spend about 470 hours to unlock merchants and use the weapons I like, I wouldn`t care to find out that in the new patch I have to start all over again if I can explore new content.
Edited: Thats much more correct

What are your thought about separate PvE and PvP progress and don't wipe PvE after 0.3?
At the moment in 0.2.4 the grind is still to hard since release. Give us reasons to go anywhere without a task and just do some high loot, with heavy armored AI enemies.
At the moment the focus is hardly on progress with tasks.

I know in 0.3.0 it will be faster, but there is no reason to wipe PvE if progress is separated. In PvP on the other hand it makes sense to reset after months.

Been stated over and over. Each update, about every 6 months, gets a wipe. New features won't be compatible with old builds so the game must be wiped.

This is the nature of an early access game, i cannot think of one that has significant progression where it hasn't wiped regularly as content changes.

[Black Magix]

Yes there will a wipe. Some of the announced features are new content and quests reworks as well as new weapons and some other cool features coming. That said, I believe the devs also said they want to be looking at regular wipes even after release for season content, although I might be mistaken about that.

He's a moderator not a developer. And considering the lack of mouse icon next to his name he may not have ever owned/played the game.

The mouse icon is replaced by the star.

You can see I have over 500 hours in the game and no mouse icon.

The reason for PvE wipes is so that the devs get information on new systems and changes. If few people wiped their characters on an update, they wouldn't get information on low level mission changes, progression speed, vendor unlock information, etc.

Point on his icon and you can see over 520 hours played.

Must be a PC option. I never post here from my computers. Anyway, point being, he doesn't have any inside information regarding the game's development.

There are quite a few disagreements in the community about this — some players prefer having it, and others don’t.
As Jonathan explained, the game is still in development, with ongoing changes and new content being added from update to update,
so the wipe is necessary.

As of now, that’s the direction things are going.
The ultimate goal is to improve the game according to the development plans — and of course, based on feedback from the community.
That’s why we always encourage every player to share their suggestions, if they have any.

Can we get a straight answer about wipes post launch? I HATE that mechanic and it kills the game because there's no point if my save gets deleted every few months.
