Title: Next Wipe, when?
Post by: Lilith on January 30, 2010, 06:22:25 pm
When does the next wipe come so I know if i should keep playing or just forget this game. so far nobody helps newbies out, steals and kills bluesuiters and the general community is just horrible.

The next wipe will be after I drink my coffee and purge my bowels of all the pizza I ate at 3 am.

You need to find some real friends.  Playing this game by yourself is worse than masturbation.

Correct answer was "Soon."
Also: I love playing by myself. ;)

Well I've heard that the wipe will happen when Fallout 2's starting date comes, which is July 25 2241. The date in FO 2238 is currently April 4 2241, leaving about 113 days until F2's date.

Now if we start with the time it takes for 1 FO minute, about 4 seconds, and multiple it by 60 for an hour

60x4=240

So about 4 minutes for a FO hour, now we take that and multiply by 24 hours

4x24=96

So about 96 minutes for a FO day, now we multiply that by the days until F2's starting date

96x113=10848

10848 Minutes divided by 60 for convenience

10848/60=180.8

That is around 180 real hours, now divide by 24 for more convenience

180.8/24=7.5333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

So If it is true that FO will be wiped on F2's starting date, the wipe will happen around 7 and half days from the moment of this post.

And several days ago developer said "not soon". So, what's that all discussion about? Best wipes are unknown ones. Nobody gets bored by waiting for wipe :P

Hmm.. When I'm bored by FO i just make few days break. It's the best medicine :P Now wipe really isn't needed. Powergamers have already their 21 level characters made within 3 days, normal people have now 15-16 level and still aren't bored. So, i don't think most of the people want the wipe now. It should be done in situation when certain and important changes of engine are to be involved.

You think community is now horrible? Trust me, its better than it used to be and I see no reason why wipe should make it any better.

You should visit Klamath or the Den, we help people as much as possible and are trying to give life to those cities. Some other gangs are about to do the same in other northern towns.

So don't visit Den/Klamath :P Try NCR/Hub. It's a part of this wasteland world.

Post by: gordulan on February 01, 2010, 01:26:16 pm
i myself tend to stay away from all the towns except for hub and ncr, because of the simple fact that i will have that bad luck of running into a russian raider squads armed with miniguns, laser rifles and gauss guns dressed in combat armour, this has been annoying me for some time so i simply don't enter towns unless i have to.

No plans for a wipe as of this moment. Don't know who made up the stuff about F2 start date, buit this kind of thing will never decide when we wipe.

We can't just keep wiping the game when that happens, it's not effective because eventually people get bored again. As the game develops and increases in content-size, we'll see less players getting bored. We mustn't think on wipe as something to be wanted, but rather as something to be avoided. We need to build a game where wipes won't be needed.

Even while I would enjoy a new wipe (it would allow me to rebuild a certain character...) I prefer to play a game where wiping isn't needed. Let's focus on the improvement of the game, everyone.

hey, you can always delete your old character and make a new one - fun is back in the game, i don't see any reason why you're craving for that wipe people.

I see no need for people to need/want a wipe at all.
Also. these people do not bomb out of boredom. It's freakin comedy gold is what it is.

But there is no date set and no wipe planned. If a wipe has to come, we will announce it some time before.
