Greetings everyone,
With Alpha 4.0, we’ll be resetting all three pillars of Long Term Persistence: Reputation, Wallet (aUEC), and Items. This is essential to support the major updates coming in this milestone, and helps us push for a stable, balanced gameplay experience on live release.
- First, Reputation will be reset to prepare for upcoming major updates to our missions, guilds, and more advanced systems. To effectively implement these updates, we must clear all previous progress to ensure a smoother experience across the board.
- The Economy is another key factor driving this wipe. Over time, wealth has accumulated, which we’ll need to reset to continue balancing various economy-based systems. Resetting Wallet data will provide crucial information surrounding player habits, enabling us to refine the Economy as we continue to roll out new social and economic features.
- Additionally, introducing our second system, Pyro, requires a fresh Items database to ensure every player experiences these new updates smoothly. This reset will allow us to track how players discover and use items, providing valuable insights for future releases.
Rest assured, any account-bound items, such as pledged ships, subscriber flair, and rewards, will remain intact. Our commitment is to perform wipes only when absolutely necessary, and we’ll continue to make them as infrequent as possible, especially beyond 4.0.
Thank you for your continued support, and we’ll see you in Pyro!
