Flybynight Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I didn't see this listed specifically in the changelog but did hear 2 players discussing on TS. Is it confirmed that 3.0 will bring a total wipe and you basically start from scratch? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rogue Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's not a must but many server owners will probably be doing a wipe. I know I will be. DirtySanchez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenR Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't understand why you would wipe servers, if it doesnt require one then why do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rogue Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I want to redo some of my database stuff anyways. During the last update I had a brain fart and copied the epochServer.ini file from my test server over to BOTH production servers, so both servers are running off the same db file. I want to create two different db server instances, one for each server with their own unique dump files. This update will be the perfect time to do that. And to answer BenR_Reborn, with so many issues with base maintenance not working properly and base items disappearing and all the changes they're making to the traders it just makes sense to me to do one. This way we can start fresh and I can know without a doubt that any new "bugs" or "glitches" players may complain about aren't related to anything that was brought over from the previous patch. It will help me sleep a little better. I've made my players aware for the last two weeks that a wipe is coming and given the issues we've had, everyone is ok with it. prone, KS__, KPABATOK and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rogue Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 With stuff that's already built it would probably be fine. The code that determines whether you can build in a given area and the code that spawns in items when the server loads up are separate and (most likely) don't communicate to each other. So players with larger bases just won't be able to build anymore items if they're already over the limit. What that will do to the maintenance side of things though is another question. Will maintenance done on a jammer placed in an already established large base actually perform maintenance on all base items within the specified radius? Or will it only perform maintenance on up to 'X' number of items and skip the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPABATOK Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 we will only know that from experience, hehe. Well I am ok with wipe, cause cinder and metal will be much easier to get, no need to hunt containers which only 1 in 4 has any cinder or metal at all.

Large bases will also find they can't replace parts that have been destroyed until they are under the designated jammer " limit" brokenegg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybynight Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm assuming server wipe would also come with krypto wipe as well....but since that is the one item in game that seems to be stored in a unique way, is there any chance it would survive a true "wipe" ?

unerground2 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rogue Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc... Most people will be fine with it as long as you give plenty of advanced notice. Folks have to remember that Epoch is still in alpha stage. Wipes can come at any time during the development process.

prone Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc... If they can't comprehend that this game is in alpha, they probably shouldn't be playing it... just my opinion. Fog Horn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen0cide Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc...

CrazyCorky Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc... I look at it like this. I've farmed/built stuff. Once I have a base established/farmed and have a lot of items saved wtf is the point to keep playing? A wipe will allow me to rethink and redo my building and possibly have a different playstyle. Not to mention a wipe will clear the server of any overlooked annoyances that could be bogging down server FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 a wipe is a no way situation for some players theyll stop playing when they loose everything they build and farmed etc...I used to just spawn in some building equipment and materials for indivuduals or groups if we had to do a wipe. At least enough to get them started. Sometimes i would even help them build, placing objects etc. We never really had a popping server though. @corky Yeah I've always felt the same way. That's the fun part of the game. When you finish just make sure you get plenty of screenshot and/or vid for reminiscence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windyhead Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Я не понял, wipe базы данных при переходе на 0.3 , обязателен или нет? Перечитал несколько веток... кому верить не знаю :) Или при переходе на 0.3 если не делать вайп то придется допиливать что-то руками? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaprz Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 How do I properly Wipe the DB? Accidently have too little memory and swap available for the dump.rdb to be written and then restart redis. Works every time. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
