Rank and Crafting XP Post-Wipe

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

After wipe we will provide redeemable items that will give you Rank XP and Crafting XP equal to the XP and Crafting XP that you had on that server. 

For example - what you have now. 

1. PVP EU - Rear admiral (sync xp)
2. PVP USA - Rear admiral (sync xp)
3. PVE - no character 

When you login to each of those servers you will see the following

1. PVP EU - you will have rank 0 AND have redeemable that can get you to rear admiral on this server
2. PVP Global - you will have rank 0 AND have redeemable that can get you to rear admiral on this server
3. PVE - you will have NO redeemables
   
   To transfer XP from one server to another before the wipe - you just need to login to the server you want to have your rank. 

XP Synchronization going forward. 

Free and safe XP synchronization between servers and accounts was introduced as a temporary measure during early access because we knew servers might get rebalanced, moved merged and transferred. (it caused a lot of problems internally but it was necessary during the uncertainty stage).
Now we know the final composition of servers which will not change for a very long time. Thus choosing a server and nation becomes and important just like it happens in most MMO's including WOW. 

But even WOW allows character transfer. We plan to add an opportunity to transfer character between servers or between nations in the future. We got you covered here.

But for now - after the wipe synchronization will no longer exist. 

Deleting a character - deletes the character and everything associated with that character including XP and Crafting XP. 

hope this explains it.

To offer some clarifications that we sought out from admin:

To get the redeemable XP for your characters, all you need to do is have a character created on the server.  I'd advise that you simply create ones on each server.

The redeemable XP is NOT tied to your particular character.  It is tied to the server itself.  That means if you are not happy with how things are balanced, or you are not 100% positive you want to stay with a certain faction, all you need to do is not redeem the redeemable.  Essentially you can hold off on redeeming said redeemable, delete your character, create a new one, and then redeem it.  (I imagine this is to help the transition on the backend to maintain database information.)

 

1. Log in to all servers you normally use - and do 1 battle to synchronize the xp  - this will help you have your current rank on all servers. Just to make sure your long forgotten character you didn't play for on years doesn't get left behind.

 

2. If you know that you will want to change nation you can change it now, before the wipe hits.

 

3. If you don't know yet you just have to make sure that

- After the wipe DO NOT USE the XP redeemable until you are ABSOLUTELY sure about the Nation you want to play.

This thread is not concerning that particular type of item. Stand by for an upcoming FAQ.

This is also a good option to test out some other things as a new char too.  While I know I plan to be a Pirate, but with this I can hop around to each of the nations to try them out as a newbie and not redeem my xp until I'm ready to be a Pirate.

For clarification:

 

1. Log in to all servers you normally use - and do 1 battle to synchronize the xp  - this will help you have your current rank on all servers. Just to make sure your long forgotten character you didn't play for on years doesn't get left behind.

 

2. If you know that you will want to change nation you can change it now, before the wipe hits.

 

3. If you don't know yet what Nation you just have to do one thing

- After the wipe DO NOT USE the XP redeemable until you are ABSOLUTELY sure about the nation.

Do we know the location of the servers yet?

[Chijohnaok]

Global server:

Walla Walla, Washington

 

EU server:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, UK

 

At first log in after wipe you will need to quickly say the appropriate location three times.

Where was this confirmed?  If your just joking than I would save that not for a post about FAQ about the patch.  Though WA would be a great location for the poor SEA players for sure.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Locations are not disclosed. Keep the thread uncluttered

[Aventador]

So just to clarify if someone only has a character one server (let's say pvp1) and no characters on other servers their XP will be synced to redeemable on both the global and EU server or?

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

No.

3 characters, 3 redeemable

1 character, 1 redeemable

server bound
not account bound
no more accounts

Correlation is:

PvP One - PvP EU

PvP Two - PvP Global

PvE One - PvE

So you need to create an account on PVP2 to be on PVP Global and you need an Account on PVP1 to be PVPEU... this should be bold and a message that's sent out to all players on the game just in case they don't read the forums everyday

I think it's important to know if the new global server is US based or EU based.  Don't you?

Yes. We will know when we will know. I don't know yet and want to know as well.

So does that mean that my XP from PvP1 server can't become a redeemable on PvP Global? So we can't switch server?

No.

As Hethwill said the correlation is:

PvP One - PvP EU

PvP Two - PvP Global

PvE One - PvE

So just create before the wipe a character on all 3 servers, do 1 battle with each character to sync your xp and you're done
After the wipe you go to the server you desire and claim your xp by redeemables.

So after I created and synced all the characters, will I be able to redeem my highest rank (commandeur) on all 3 servers?

So if we have still been playing we dont have to worry about this. We will get our redeemable XP when the change happens? Cause I just had a battle the other day and was not really planning on getting back on PvP2 till the wipe.

And does it keep synchronizing? Let's suppose I'm now at 30k of the 80k and I sync my characters on all servers. When I level to 70k from the 80k, does it also transfer this progress automatically to the characters on the other servers? Or do I have to do that manually by playing a battle on each of these characters I want to sync?

Yes currently your level is tied to your steam account, but to get it to work across all servers you have to have a char on them.  So as you level up all three servers chars level up no matter what server you got the xp on.  After Patch this won't be the case any more as your leveling won't be tied to your steam account any more.
