Wildcard Admin StudioWildcard Posted April 11, 2019 Wildcard Admin Share Posted April 11, 2019 Survivors, We wanted to give everyone an update regarding the lost character situation on our official servers. A change we made last week resulted in some players vaults to be destroyed and items to be lost. Once we realized the extent of the issue, the decision was made to rollback the Official Server Network. Widespread rollbacks are something we actively try to avoid due to the complications and unpredictable results that can arise from doing so (duping, lost characters, lost progress, etc). It’s not a common practice or occurrence that you as a player should expect. However we realize in extreme circumstances, like last week, there will be times when a rollback of this magnitude is inevitable and the best course of action for us to take. While our goal is to prevent rollbacks from being a necessity, the recent events have highlighted opportunities we have to improve on our rollback processes in the event that it’s needed in the future. Whenever there are in-game issues like rollbacks that have affected your character or items, our Customer Service support team is there to help. After submitting a ticket, a GM receives the request and reaches out to schedule an appointment. Tickets are addressed on a first come, first serve basis. Under normal workload, a GM is able to respond to a ticket within a couple of days. Due to the influx of new tickets related to this recent issue, the wait time has significantly increased. For this, we apologize. We realize this is not an ideal situation and will look at ways to improve that experience for you. It is important to note that currently GM’s must make in-person appointments to address a large portion of the tickets and coordinating with many different players can be a monumental task. Going forward we’re looking at additional ways for Customer Service to be able to address some tickets without needing to meet in-person which will allow for faster turnaround times and a more efficient process overall. The Customer Service team has made this incident a priority and are responding tremendously to the influx of tickets. We all realize how important your characters and items are to you. In light of the increase in tickets due to the rollback we implemented, we will be disabling the auto-decay timer for PC and XBOX on the official network temporarily to allow more time for Customer Service to address the ticket influx. As this affects server performance, this is a one-time exception that is being made considering the circumstances. Once auto-decay is re-enabled in a months time the timers will resume and you’ll need to log on to prevent your structures and tames from auto-decaying. We will give a weeks notice before turning back on auto-decay. We know our community invests a lot of time into their characters, dinos, and items. We apologize for this inconvenience and will work diligently at improving our processes going forward. - The Studio Wildcard Team View full article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Perhaps dino feed need and gas use should be disabled too, many tames will starve and things rot in fridges. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringl3s ♥ Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Maybe you should consider helping the Legacy players to get back their characters as well, most loyal players get the worst treatment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStatix Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Nice I am happy about the auto-decay it will allow tribemembers to breath without the risk of their base auto-decaying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryto Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 For example, I lost all in my ragnarok server, how can this affect me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbette Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thank you. Would you be able to get back to weekly updates and maybe (get rid of troodons because they are really annoying when starting even if you are high level) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLB Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hmm... anyone remember the two day rollback during early access where they nerfed all the blueprints as well as fishing and said it was done because of duping and that fishing was too OP? I don't recall there being any issues with character loss when that happened. What i'm saying is how could one network wide rollback not have this problem but this one would? Seems to me that some safeguards or redundant data protection is no longer being used for whatever reason. edit\ Oh wait... weren't the official servers back then hosted and managed on Amazon AWS gaming servers? And now its largely nitrado? So this is all the result of cheap servers... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted April 11, 2019 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2019 Let's try to keep this thread on-topic. If you guys want to make suggestions that are unrelated to the main topic then please post them in the appropriate section. I've moved all the posts discussing imprints and you can continue the discussion over there: 11 minutes ago, CBud said: can someone please just confirm are the servers rolling back a week ? No, the servers are not rolling back. What they did is disabling auto-decay (you know, the timer on your creatures and structures) so that players that lost their characters during the rollback have a chance to get their character replaced before losing everything they own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The characters being lost has been caused by their anti-duping technology, which was not implemented at the time of legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDonn Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 15 minutes ago, CBud said: can someone please just confirm are the servers rolling back a week ? They are not. Nothing in that announcement says anything about an upcoming rollback of 7 days, so that is hearsay. At this point, even 7 days wouldn't restore my decayed Ab server, but it might help some people I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaLG Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I think this is insane! I transferred dino from RAG 70 (the server that lags is crazy - I can go get a drink and the restroom to return to more lg) to RAG 42. If they rollback - I loose dinos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWSPRAGUE Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Imprinted Dinos is 100% relevant to losing your character. I can level up a new character and get added to my tribe no problem. All my imprinted dinos which took weeks of time are now useless. What are you even talking about invincibleqc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalfade Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 ok so my question is what about the people who have been trying to get a hold of wild card about a lost character for over a month but have heard nothing from them im sorry but its not like this is a new issue people have been losing characters well before this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttmk27 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I think a message in game in advance to this would be great so people could plan what they are doing so it does not cause other issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you submit a ticket, GMs will transfer your imprints to your new character so making suggestions and discussing the imprinter mechanism is irrelevant to the main topic and should be done in the appropriate section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsanad3 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The only question is, if the character had implants that had both alpha rockwell and ascension, why does he get a character lvl 105, and not maxed, getting experience is not an easy thing to get going from 105 onwards.
