Wipes every season what's the point of paying or playing for that matter.

Kinda pointless no progression if it's going to be wiped every season.

Have yall never played Escape from Tarkov? Stop whining, it's how the game is MEANT to be played. If you don't like it, then continue on with your day.

..... it wipes, to my information, your inventory and base, NOT your progression through the skills(Tarkov that is). So yea someone playing much will have an advantage on the long run. Someone with skill, map knowledge(wich you can only gain via playing) and knowing each and every gun ingame will also basicaly wipe the floor with others that play casualy.

Plus: You complain that you lose stuff after 6 months? What you gonna do when there is nothing to level up anymore? YOU QUIT, sooo makes no difference realy, plus there will ALWAY'S be stuff you keep, like prem cash etc.

This guy is correct. Also the devs have stated all cosmetics and things of that nature will be carried over and not wiped. Might even as they said above be able to carry over premium items or cash. Lets not be so negative before the game even comes out.

Tarkov has never stated no more wipes past beta lol. They have always and continued to state that some sort of season progression system will be implemented with periodic wipes to reset the game. The only difference between current beta and the games launch is the seasons will be a timed period and not following every other major patch.

NIkita has directly & explicitly stated on camera, more than once, that there will be a server with no wipes once beta is over.

you must be new to these types of games. It would be absolutly horrible if games like this didnt wipe. Devs have also confirmed they arent wiping when season 1 comes out. If anything wipes are super fun, everyone starts back with crap gear and the fights are super intense

[Doctor LongShaft]

Simply looking at the player counts after a survival game wipes gives you enough reason to have periodic wipes (or seasons)
Like someone said above, most people just quit after maxing everything but they always come back for the wipe because everyone is playing on the same level plus theres new content... It is indeed the great equalizer.

Rust and Ark are basic survival games, Tarkov is in beta with promises of no more wipes post beta. Lets just see if this thing has legs or not.

I kinda just realized that I quit playing because the game play loop didn't pull me in and if this thing does fail it'll probably be mainly due to that even if the business model isn't helping it.

I only came to the forums to get an update on the gunplay mechanics to see if theirs been any improvement since beta.

Not wiping in a game like this means no future growth. No new player 3-6 months post launch is going to stick around if they are getting dunked on every game by dudes with maxed out stashes and endless gear. The wipes a vital onboarding process to bring new blood to the game. And it obviously works wonders because Tarkovs not even on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ steam and its still one the most played FPS games in the last 5 years and fresh wipe player counters are always the highest of anytime in the games cycle.

You are actually wrong, the devs original plan was to only have a no wipe game in the end, but they've decided to have both progression servers and seasonal servers. It has always been the plan for the servers to eventually not wipe, the seasonal wiping servers is something that the devs have only talked about for about 2-3 years now.

Wipes are needed look at tarkov or rust or any other game thats pvp/pve/loot based.. EVery 2.5months - 3months would be prob best.

[snow]

Its a great add-on. Anyone who playes EFT gonna tell you that wipes are great game design feature and it help to keep players entertained.

[Apas Skitara]

I was very hyped about this game. But with the decision to wipe the progress every season I lost interest. Sad....

[JohnnySilver]

This definitely ends my interest in the game too. I want ongoing progression in these sort of games.

[Kneschti]

all new to the genre huh?

laughs in tarkov xD

[Horrordoc]

Weird. This stance wasn't part of the deal when I was playing this a couple years ago on EGS. Count me out entirely. Cool concept but I don't have the time or desire to re-do things over and over. Seems a lot of people are stoked though, so here's to hoping its successful! The gunplay was great and the PvEvP element was very addicting.

[Betwixt]

Tarkov/Rust/DayZ/Conan/Rust all of these games in this "Survival/Raid" genre have resets for a reason. The Cycle is no different. The end game gets stale, and resetting brings new life to the game. If you lose interest over the idea of a wipe. Then my guess is you've never made it very far in any of the games above. Meaning, this type of game isn't meant for you. The audience for this type of game is large enough anyways.

if you DON'T wipe, those at endgame will simply dominate the new players endlessly. on top of that, those at the endgame will want a reset to take things back to square one. Look at literally any survival type game as an example. Tarkov and Rust are EASILY the best examples as to why this not only works, but is necessary
