We have some information on the Update coming later this week that we would like to share. This is primarily surrounding the ‘Wipe’ mechanic that we are utilising.
We spoke in our last Dev Blog about cosmetics and the fact that the majority of them will be wiped along with everything else in the list of things being reset in players accounts. Here is the statement:
”All Cosmetics except the UA Ranger, Steel Worker, and Space Pirate outfits are reset.”
What I forgot to do, was address the Twitch Drops Cosmetics of both the full set outfit, and the Voice pack for Marauder 42069. These will be wiped from all players accounts. This is an unfortunate draw back of needing to use the ‘Wipe’ mechanic during early access.
However, following the next update, we will be making these previously earned Twitch Drops Cosmetics available for everyone to claim for 7 DAYS following the update. This will be possible for ALL PLAYERS. If you do not claim them within that time, you will not have another chance to receive them in the same way any time soon. If we need to do this again, we will inform players in the same way as we are now.
The wipe mechanic can be a frustrating one for many, we understand that. We just want to reiterate that we only do this for technical reasons. Our long term goal is to get to a place where we completely change how ‘wipes’ work, but during Early Access this is our tool of choice.
We will continue to provide updates like this going forward! More news on the imminent update will be released soon.
