you only get one of these. open beta -is- a testing phase. 90% of them include wipes at the end.
@Rubiss @zoi4friends
there’s no open beta. mar29 was international release.
but people still refuse to get it.
you can keep pretending it’s open beta all you want, and while you’re doing that why not pretend you’re in charge of the game.
just like making really big text in bold, pretending doesn’t make it true.
well, i mean, it’s not like the FBI is going to blow up your servers for breaking the law if you do have a wipe after release…
they won’t have to, the customers will pretty much ditch you on the spot.
what’s the point of a “persistent online virtual world” to play and level up in, and etc… when they remove"persistent" from the equation?
the way truly game-breaking exploits are handled on “live” servers is with a rollback.
they identify when the problem was discovered, they shutdown the server, they reinstall the nightly backups from that night, install the patches to prevent it from happening again, ban some accounts, start the servers rolling up again, and poof… they’ve been “rolled back” to the time before the exploit was an issue.
players are pissed because they’ve lost maybe a day or two of progress, but not nearly as pissed as if they had lost all their progress, in spite of the promise of the “persistent” world.
@zoi4friends has a special type of blindness and can’t see that because it disagrees with his preferred worldview.
on what grounds do you say the impact ISN’T minor? you don’t have any proof either, only your word for it.
