Pommer Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Wipe or not to wipe? We all know the reasons to wipe and not to wipe official servers, I don't want a discussion about it, I want to gauge an understanding of wether people want a wipe or not, no reasoning just a yes (to wipe) or no (not to wipe). Ill start off with a yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletForce Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not much point unless they fix several outstanding issues in particular introducing a land claims system. Also what kind of wipes just dinos/structures or also players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 No its useless, we are only weeks away from the next dupe exploit. At this rate you need to wipe monthly .. Wildcard should focus on implementing things that allow them to IDENTIFY the cheater/dupers and then wipe them. This will change the mindset of the community.

But sadly, I don't think the devs even have the slightest clue on how to do this and enforce it without having to hire an army of staff dedicated to running around servers all day long identifying hackers. With the hastily introduced server transfers, this issue is just magnified many factors over. I have to wonder if the benefits of server transfer still outweigh the cost.

TheLastNerb Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Fix the game, offically release it, then wipe it. Would really freshen things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morloa Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just wipe PVP, PVE does nothing but stack resources and tames anyway may as well just wipe PVP. Yeah sure 90% of us are sitting on Monster bases with 360+ base Pteranadons, but duping has been going on for a while now 30 hours isn't nearly enough but it's the most they could get away with doing, I'm sure there are thousands of duped content still out there. I'd prefer to get cleanly wiped now than later if another duping exploit hits, at least it will vastly reduce the volume of what they can dupe.

Ok to those who are saying just get rid of duped items, what about jump puzzle items or the fishing bps from fishing rod patch, I know at the time they were gotten without cheating, but it's still an extremely unfair advantage that anyone who's started playing after those times can't compete with a 800% damage pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samammo Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 No, just make a few new servers for those that want a fresh start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanchyon Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 No Just play on a new server or play on unofficial with regular wipes. Sheesh stop trying to use the devs as a crutch to get back at whoever wiped you. And stop worrying about trying to use the "OP pike" excuse, everything had damages and armour capped last patch.

DaGoodNamesWereTaken Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 No, I spent way too much time and effort into breeding/taming and would have not done so otherwise. Cry babies need to just stop playing ark if you demand a full wipe just so you are happy. You are literally 1 percent of a player base and you want things done so you can be happy. Make new serves and go have fun over there, go join the new no taming servers sounds like that would be the only way to make you all happy.

This ^ Thats what people who argue for a wipe really want. No to a wipe. Not that it matters. Never going to happen - they aren't that stupid.

Ill start off with a yes Of course you have a reason. You want wildcard to do what you have been unable to do, and thats beat the alpha tribe that you yourself want to replace. You believe that if you and others keep posting these threads Wildcard will succumb to mob-rule. Well guess what? They've clearly stated countless times that they WILL NOT wipe. So your choice is this... become a better, more knowledgible player, and maybe one day you'll catch the alpha tribe slacking on the job, or go get yourself a private server and you become the defacto alpha tribe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauven Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Keep PvE out of this, however for PvP it would make sense (once the duping issues have been addressed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Captnmorgan Posted March 4, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2017 Topic us pointless they already said they wouldn't they may repurpose low pop servers. If you want a wipe go play extinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
