No I like them..
Especially for reloading a gun.. you can ignore and reload in the default time.. or do the mini game and reload a bit faster..
Would have been a good idea o have it fire fire arrows as well.. fuck it up and you set yourself on fire ;

It's an MMO in development you should have expected full wipes to happen... I don't think this will be the only one either.
Best to celebrate back when the game is finished.

People will be back once the update hits anyway so what does it matter.. take some time out to do something else.. or go PvP crazy and kill everyone you can find in game with the 6x gathering.

11 hours ago, Masi said:tou cant wipe characters people has already spend 1000+hours ingame even tho you server wipe thats fine! but characters! thats too much what was the point of playing till now then! you need to let people keep their lvl/discorvery points if you want them to keep playing otherwise you will lose over half your numbers playing your game!
Yes they can it's a game in early development.. there will probably be many wipes to come.
Especially when there are major changes as they will want to test every system from the ground up.
If you don't like the idea of that then wait until the game is finished.
38 minutes ago, phelysarrian said:Early access means beta development stage, this barely an alpha plus.
The land claim and island addition should have been thought of and fixed prior to general early access release.
Clearly you have no idea what an alpha is.
This is exactly what early access is about and also early access does not specify at what point of development s game is in it's just a way for a company to help fund their game and allow players in early to help test.

1 hour ago, Buck Rider said:The reason is historically in MMOs character wipe have only happen when you are invited to a beta test that had a starting and an ending point. I can't recall a character wipe in an MMO that happened outside of that framework. Everyone expected big changes, but at this point without something other being stated, they expected their characters to persist through those changes.
Have tested many MMOs over they years and they had multiple wipes throughout development especially early on and especially if massive changes are made to the game mechanics that basically effect the entire world.
I would also expect to see more wipes during development.
-
With the 6x on I'll jump on for some PvP for sure but not much else.

Just now, DAZE said:no, they did it many times in ark, just wiped bases on regions they were redesigning, never wiped servers or chars
This is not Ark
-
Just now, Buck Rider said:Scheduled and announced far in advance. Not after they sold the game and got to a point of people having 500 hours.
No not at all.. usually when major changes were made to the game systems exactly like this.
I maybe have 300 hours but I came into this early development know there would be wipes at some point.. especially when they started talking about making major changes to the way the game works.

1 minute ago, Skyroguen said:Agreed for the most part. The only time I have seen an MMO do a complete wipe is during alpha testing and when they moved from Beta to Release (SWG, CoH) and in most cases gave the Beta testers a few days head start. but never once it was released. of course Atlas is still in Developement, and is essentially in an alpha state.
Have been a part of many alpha and beta tests over the years to many to count.. nearly every MMO I have tested have had multiple wipes all the way through development especially in alpha..

1 hour ago, DAZE said:the only differenses between those games are map size and taming systems, almost all other mechanics are same.
yes, atlas has age, but everything else is same
It's mainly the size of the game really you can't make big sweeping changes like this without wiping the world.

It's not instantly claimed takes a few hours so get out there and fight for the island you want

3 minutes ago, TheCoolGuy said:sorry i just come back home. what is happening now. WHEN is the serverwipe? RIGHT NOW or soon?? you fucked it up hard if you wipe now without warning DAYS before the wipe. YOU CANNOT JUST WIPE WITHOUT SAYING ANTHING FOR WEEKS. YOU NEED TO GIVE PLAYERS TIME TO PREPARE
The wipe is at the end of the month when the major update hits..
But saying that what difference does it really make if it's now or at the end of the month its a full wipe.. there is nothing for you to prepare for..

5 minutes ago, DAZE said:Because they never did it in their previous games ( ark 2 years in ea 0 wipes, DnL same).
Thats why we are confused and feel bad
But they were no MMOs and a very different type of game.. basically very mall scale compared to this.
Major changes to the world or main game systems will nearly always require a wipe.

Hell yeah I'm fine with it the game can go out in a blaze of PvP before the wipe.
But saying that I have been playing other games as well.. so can't blame you for that.
-
They are wiping everything. Fresh start.
It will also probably not be the only wipe during development.

6 hours ago, Forefrost said:I put too many hours into this game to have it all server wiped. thanks, devs for sinking your own game no one knows how to sink their own ship as fast as an Atlas dev does.
It's an MMO in early access it will probably have many more wipes to come..
I don't know why anyone would have thought otherwise.

The raid time needs to be longer really.. it that needs to be the time it's not raidable..

54 minutes ago, Talono said:This was not clear in the patch notes/captain‘s log. When does the wipe occur ?
If it is on middle/end of march playing is pointless till then and i can order Far Cry New Dawn at Amazon.. and imagine that the highwaymen there are Grapeshot devs
So byebye 700 Atlas game hours today or later this month ?
Pretty clear they intend to wipe when they bring in the big changes.
I mean they are only wiping because of what is getting changed so why would they wipe now only to have to wipe again later in the month.
As for what will happen now until then ? Well 6x gathering so we can take the server out in a blaze of PvP.

Thanks ivah was about to post the same thing for the silly OP..
I mean complaining that a game is early access is changing lol.. I have seen it all now lol

13 minutes ago, Tikar said:I watched it all two times already, I did not hear them mention characters even once, so are you just pulling this out of your ass? or you will share the minute with us.
You were probably watching something else then..
The guy dressed as a pirate clearly states everything will get wiped including characters.

3 hours ago, Jozzie McTowel said:Too little too late I'm afraid, dropping under 10k peak in players during the week and probably soon not even over that 10k in the weekends either. How is your 40k players on a world gonna happen when it's this low, so scattered around and such a depressing pile of code you guys have the guts to call a game. Looking forward to spamming the stream again to be ignored some more by you guys. Your ship is sinking, and scooping up water with buckets ain't gonna prevent it from sinking before it left the EA Shipyard, it will crash on release like many of us have lost ships.
Clearly the game you made is better right..
-
At the very least they need to re-visit the weight systems on boats.. having Acton of cannons at the front or all on one side should make it sink really.
-
Yes but only if there is a really major change to the claim system. They should only consider wipes when the introduce big changes to game mechanics.
If it's only a small change then no.
