BLOODMARE 0 Posted March 18, 2019 Many players are concerned about whether the server will be deleted in April. If so, almost all players will give up the game in China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ktorr 33 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) There will almost certainly be another server wipe, probably not in April, but at some other point. Early Access means the game is still in development, which means there may be several wipes before full Launch. Edited March 18, 2019 by Ktorr 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to see at least the PvE servers have some of the crafting requirements lowered in order to allow the builders to complete some of the large scale builds they would like to undertake Semi-regular wipes with the resource requirements in crafting as they are is a little bit painful for PvE.

On the other hand... docks to accommodate them, townships, meeting halls, trade hubs, taverns, shanty towns, ... the buildings. The sheer weight of the resources or even the crafted pieces makes it a very tiresome effort to build on a scale that matches the landscapes and the scale of the ships.

Grongash 201 Posted March 18, 2019 Early Access doesnt automatically have to mean wipes, especially in a game that calls itself a MMO. The reason they had to wipe isnt really connected to any development either. It is mainly because of their sloppy handling of hacks and console commands combined with being unable to actually test their stuff internally (or even use common sense) or track down bugs. Pretty much all of the people i know that started out very motivated and had great interest in the game are now worried that this will be a regular thing now. And the game in its current grindy state is just not enough fun to start over all the time. If you find it fun to spent time again over and over exploring the same copy and pasted islands in order to just level to compensate for the half assed "Skill point system", be my guest. Most people wont do that. It is ok to do it once, or maybe twice. But if they honestly think the playerbase will just keep restarting those annoying parts from scratch they will be in for a surprise.

Buck Rider 63 Posted March 18, 2019 We can only hope for a statement from the devs on future wipes. Until then, I don't think anyone really knows. I think many will be slow to invest the same amount of time without a better understanding of this issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullet Force 151 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) I can smell at a minimum a big revert happening with regards to these new anti PVP changes they are so determined to introduce on PVP servers. Once they see the player numbers plummet they will have no choice but to revert the severs back to their original PVP focused state.

Because now they will be able to enjoy real PvP, not PvNPCs Lets see what numbers we got in like 2-3 weeks after wipe. Im curious and I really think this will definitely increase playerbase.

Enki Anunnaki 240 Posted March 18, 2019 the old system only breed toxicity. at least the new one has the opportunity to form a decent player culture. See, im building a fighting guild network where any company can take part. its gonna form hubs of trade and player trafic. You could imagine the possibilities of that. player towns. You'll be able to attack the trade ships that go back n forth. they don't have raid windows. Then there will be the times i host tournaments that will only be able to take place during raiding windows. I can see some badass pirates trying to raid the event and steal the chest full of betting money that will be collected during the fights. lots of gold to be made, the possibilities will be endless. this can really be a pirate game instead of being a toxic offlinning fest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope most dedicated PVP players have left and won't be returning. This new mode is far from a PVP mode . In these new "PVP" servers you can only PVP for a few hours each day with 3/4 of the day being restricted to PVE only . I don't know how anyone can call that a PVP server. Give it a week and the few remaining PVP players will be so utterly bored they will stop playing all together. Edited March 18, 2019 by Bullet Force Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah here it is that buzz word again "toxicity". I'm quite surprised you didn't throw in "griefers" and "trolls". The game world you seem to want where everyone is nice and gentle and does trading and has "community" events is already offered its called PVE. I really don't quite understand why obvious PVE players are so determined to remove PVP from the PVP servers. You don't see us PVP players demanding PVE servers have more wars. It would be nice if you would reciprocate that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice if you would reciprocate that. First off, i've got 600 hours playing pvp since day one, NA PVP. During the first 3 months, i was in a war every... single... day. So know what your talking about before you spew your shit. i just think it's hilarious that just because there's gonna be a "window" to fight an individual island, that you now consider it a pve game lmao. That's like saying, in battle field 5, that because the match ends, bf5 is now a pve game.. i mean seriously... you're ridiculous in case logic evade you even more than is evident, PVE means player verses environment. trade is considered player versus player, as it has nothing to do with the environment community events are player versus player, as it has nothing to do with the environment, usually. wars could be considered community events btw. and let's be honest, there is BARELY any pve content in this game... sod, animals and golden age islands. the kraken.. vitamin, food and water depletion. hot and cold weather... whoopty fuckin doo Edited March 18, 2019 by Enki Anunnaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A better example would be that your playing Battlefield 5 you've taken all the flags and your team is advancing onto the final flag. Then the enemy team pushes the mercy button and suddenly your guns stop doing any damage. A message then appears on the screen: "Combat will resume at noon tomorrow".
