Petition: Wipe of Characters on Next Update.

[Clarkeh 58]

With the next update just around the corner (supposedly) and with the ability to still dupe gear (recent video on youtube showcasing it) Im thinking it would be a good idea if DayZ Devs did another wipe to level the playing field again, Now i know this is not going to go down well with the majority of the community but seeing as we are in Alpha to test things we shouldn't be really getting attached to our gear we have now (im partially attached to my player almost have full gear,ammo,meds etc) and with the current duping glitch thats being exploited it would starts us all with a clean slate (bonus points in the next update they ninja a patch in to balance the loot but im not expecting it)

 

At the end of the day its DayZ and we'll get our gear back but it would be nice to start fresh.

Don't worry, there will be more wipes then you want eventually. You don't need to start a petition for it. ^^

Its going to be part of the development process... im sure there will be all sorts of compatibility issues with new and old stuff so its only best to wipe the slate clean...

I think he is already wiping duped gear. A lot of people seem to be complaining about losing items after logout and i'm sure that at least 50% has been duped.

Indeed its part of the process, I figured i would post this thread to gauge the reaction from the community and maybe if the mods/devs look in on it they can put a post-it somewhere on the server reminding them to wipe the playerbase :p

They won't forget. Checklists, they probably have them.

I have my character wiped after every time I log in now. Never duped items, just keep getting wiped. Even if I have nothing I will start over on the beach every log in.

When they fix duping and server hopping, I'd like to see a wipe for sure.  Server hopping is obnoxious.

There are no save-state server elements, no tents, and no items in standalone currently that are dupe worthy... I don't understand why it's such an issue?

Infinite food

Infinite water

Infinite ammo

 

Great for people who want to snipe a hotspot or kill newspawns.

The next patch isn't introducing any anti-server hopping and isn't addressing server item respawns which means people are still going to do what they're doing now. The difference between a fresh spawn and someone who is fully loaded is a walk to kemanka military base and 2 hours of server hopping and that isn't going to change next patch.

 

I'd agree with you if they fixed respawns or server hopping tho.

And do you keep choosing different servers everytime? try sticking to 1 server.

 

was gonna say that too. I try to use server hosted by the same name/hosters. Had something strange happen to me twice today, when logging on to a different server host (too test). I started fresh (wiped) , but then i logged out fast and went back to the servers i normal use, i had my character was back (all kit, and correct location)
