The Wipe is upon us

[koffiekip42 11]

when the wipe occurs the forum will be flooded with people crying about that their char is wiped.

[Rammur 59]

If your all true dayz players a wipe would not bug you a bit only time a wipe would annoy a real day player is if we had bases and they got wiped which is not the case yet lol.

[blissandpanic 92]

What are you folks worried about? just because it's the apocalypse doesn't mean we forget all about good hygiene.

 

[benedictus 160]

I dont see why anyone would come here crying about the wipe, if you bother to invest a little time investigating what you are actually playing, you would understand that there will be wipes, its even been said.

 

 

edit:

 

I mean if you buy something, atleast figure out what you are buying.

DayZ SA to me is a game about survival period. My goal while playing dayz is to survive danger and keep my avatar alive as long as possible period. I have kept avatars alive for over a month. Surviving pvp, elements you name it, and I have been successful at it in the past. When I go into pvp I go into the situwation thinking I'm going to make the other guy die, and with the hopes to keep me and my friends alive period if they are with me. It's not that I'm afraid to die in game, but its that it is not my goal what so ever to die, its to survive. Unless I feel like being a fresh spawn troll LOL Which can be fun. 

 

With that said, I really don't get why anyone would invite CHR wipes, unless it was to benefit the over all outcome of the game. Meaning like a patch were they have no choice to wipe your CHR. I'm ok with it and understanding of a wipe under those reasons.. But to hear people saying they should wipe all the time is kind of annoying. Unless it benefits the game over all outcome it should not be done period. Maybe those people don't understand Dayz SA, or what it's about. Let me remind you, its about survival. PvP or no PvP.  What your doing is giving the devs an excuse not to address server issues and cut corners.....They will think, "the players don't care why should we address it." Its an excuse for the game to suck. Quit giving them excuses, if something broke bitch about it now while they making it. Tell them so they will fix it! Don't ridicule players for mentioning broken mechanics on the forums period either. If its a game play skill thing then that's different. We need to let them know what we think when something is broke, so when the game is done, it will be free of shitty bugs. Otherwise its going to be a half functional game when its done.

Who needs wipes if going pvp in berezino = 5 deaths in less than 24 hrs

[Death By Crowbar 1213]

If you don't die once in a while you're not really trying to live...

... you're a hermit in the woods, or not logging in. Neither of those are fun.

So be a man, and take a risk and die today! It's better than having not lived and getting wiped tomorrow.

this was funny

[JPWiser 251]

Just logged in. Am a new 'fresh' char on every server. In a way I admire them for it. In another way, typically DayZ, they could at least have given us the kind of notice such that we would not have wasted our time for the past few days. Really, that sucks large ones.

Cannot give notice to the ignorant... There has been two status reports now discussing it and countless threads talking about the pros and cons of it.

Typically Dayz, people do not inform themselves with the information given then come here to complain about not knowing about it.

This forum section is your best friend

Early this morning, all servers were down for maintenance except for  one or two, which everyone was playing on. 

 

The server which was active was not spawning items, and we were all fresh spawns. We all met up and went picking apples to survive and performed some gang beatdowns on Zombies.

 

 

It was quite fun.

 

 

Today, my character is back. No, no wipe yet but they have warned that it is planned.

[Mookie (original) 799]

Thanks tootights, for a non-patronising reply. I'm familiar with server maintenance, except that this went on for longer than that, and every server I logged into (when they all came back up) had a fresh char. Then this afternoon I thought I'd try one last time, and there was my guy back again. :)

[Ransurian 23]

A week? Two, perhaps? Three, by off chance? I'm struggling to find official info on this.

[Deathlove 2286]

Well probably around this Friday we will get the patch for experimental and if everything goes smooth possibly next Wednesday if anything. And if not probably 2 weeks from now.

You're talking about the fabled server wipe?

Look to the sky.  The moon will turn red and the four horsemen will appear.

 

This is a product-wide wipe that's being rumored.  If and when it happens, we should expect to be fore-warned in a more specific manner. 

If we aren't (and i doubt this to be the case) you will respawn anew just like the many other times you have without cause or reason or explanation due to server/code bugs, and life will go on.

 

If the latter occurs, it will be inescapable, so knowing the date is really rather irrelevant, unless you're banking on being online the moment the servers go live again, assuming you plan to keep playing into the future.

Lol that would be hilarious.

 

*Gets up and excitedly goes to computer* "HURRAY!!! SERVER WIPE! NOW I CAN EXPERIENCE HUNTING FOR PRESS VEST WHILE DOGGING KOS HAPPY CAMPERS AND AVOIDING COLD! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!" *Claps hands excitedly*

 

I dont see to many ppl saying this with enthusiasm. XD

 

Or what would even be more hilarious is starting fresh taking the first 2 steps breaking your legs and dying in seconds. XD

I.

Am.

Deeeathhhhhh.

"honey, there's a man at the door.  Says his name's 'mr death'."

 

Players start steaming out of existence and leaving their clothes behind, one by one.  All this phat loot for me to *searing pain*.  If they did a selective wipe of duped gear and shit, this is how i'd expect it to happen. Quite literally the holy go to heaven and the heathens are left behind to play with their hacked and duped items. That's just about where reality diverges from scripture, because all those who were 'saved' are just teleported to a different place so that they can kill eachother over and over.  I guess Vikings invaded russia, so a Valhalla heaven isn't too out of place ;)

 

I am afraid

I'm a heathen

I am dead.

If heaven involves Barry fucking Manilow singing "It's Christmas", they can keep it.

Every death is a wipe.  Where is the waste of time if you enjoy the game?

 

If you don't enjoy the game why do you play?
