Steam Early Access Wipes?

[Stardog765]

Sorry if this has been answered already but in my search I could not find anything.

 

When this game goes early access on Steam or on full release even can we expect to have to start from scratch or is that not the case?

 

Just starting playing myself so I dont have anything to lose but I was curious before I jump in with both feet at this point.

 

Thank you for you help

Expect one or more wipes prior to EA.  They could happen any time.

Last night froggen did state 1 soft wipe and 1 hard wipe to come , eta wasnt said

Noob question> what is a soft wipe?

[SteelSandwich]

Soft wipe is gold whipe/revalueation

[admin]

There will be several soft wipes and one hard wipe

 

soft wipes: you keep the rank and maybe cash - but lose all assets. 
hard wipes: all data is wiped (maybe even characters).

so... those players that currently exploit fleet farming with SOLs will keep their massive fortune and instantly replace their "assets" ? Hmm

You know where they are farming (some of them solo).

I don't know what is stopping you from stopping them by entering the battle and wrecking havoc

[Stardog765]

Thank you all for clarification.

 

I guess if there will be eventually one hard wipe then no one farming anything will get to keep anything correct?

I fully expect wipes. Pretty much knew going in that I'd be facing hard and/or soft wipes at some point. I do hope total character wipes are considered long and hard before occuring. I'm finally fitting personalities to the names I see here on the forums and in game and would hate to see those names taken by someone else just because they got there first.

Honestly who gives a shit? Lol not like players who first got into OW dont already have millions banked lol. I went from 30k to 550k in about 12 hours of farming in my cheap repair pavel and im doing it the legit way. Cash is of no concern at this time. Like at all. Lol

In Facebook page, admin say that : NA come in steam in 1 or 2 month.

[Powderhorn]

Said elsewhere at some point people are going to be restricted to one nation. That means some characters are going to be deleted or re-nationed. Not certain how easy that would be to pick and choose who survives from a list of characters, so I see characters getting deleted as well.

[Sir Madoc]

Yep there will be loads of wipes so make sure you have your tissue at hand!

Millions banked?  I just hit 500k for the first time last night.

500k? I haven't managed to accumulate that much. Probably because I spend my money like a drunken sailor.
