Guys please be patient, it will take some time for all 7000 servers to be updated, also guys from GPortal are working on reverting the save files so that you can continue playing with your old characters and avoid the wipe.

WHY BOTHER?

So yet agaun get to decent point of the game go out side in the real world for 2 hours only to find out the last 12 hours was wasted as the servers have been wiped once again. This is a cracking game but Im getting really tired of re making the same damn bag a nd stone knife over and over again.

Again I know there are thibg to be added but do you need to wipe the all the servers just to add content or to fix bugs?

Early Access might not be the game state you want to be playing, good Sir. Wipes are usually par for the course because they have to change thing in the files that make it impossible for the saves to translate properly, or a minor/major bug could happen from an update that accidentally wipes said saves.

I understand your frustration with having to repeat the processes over and over, but it's just the kinda thing they can't really prevent without something else being sacrificed (like the time it would take to test each update on an EA game to make sure the new patch is compatible with the old save files and can translate things that have changes from the old to the new without losing/corrupting data).

I don't think you do get this, otherwise you wouldn't have started this moan and ♥♥♥♥♥ thread. My guess is they didn't know it would cause a wipe and made a mistake. Which is fine. I'm never attached to my progress or gear during an Early Access.

I can't believe people are like this. It is early access. You are testing the game.

Wipe

Thanks for letting me run from D2 again, are these wipes going to become like a tradition on this game? something like 1 a day kind of thing?

Exactly. Yes, you buy a game in early access to get to play it early. But you do so knowing full well this is an unfinished, unpolished product. If you can't handle that, don't buy early access games.

They don't PLAN these wipes. If you understood anything about coding then you'd understand that sometimes what you've made is FUBAR and you have to redesign it. When that happens you HAVE to wipe everything because all of the saved data is incompatible with your new design. Eventually they will do planned wipes because they want everyone to start over and are testing stuff out and want everyone at zero again. Those are planned wipes. These are unplanned wipes and are unexpected not only by us but also the devs.
