I wouldn't say "at the end" is necessarily true. Throughout, yes, but lots of Betas allow those in the final phase to keep what they have as a token for having played Beta. It's possible that those in the final phase may not be wiped.

Depends if there's a soft launch, I guess. The it would basically be the end of final open beta being the only thing not wiped.

Only. (IMO).

It's also in the NDA that wipes can and will happen at any time.

I have seen that... yes...

I've also seen it where they stat wipe and refund all spent cash allowing people to completely reevaluate all their purchases and buy new stuff.

Not sure which they'll do... but if they make any overhauls, they'll have to reset (and refund if stores been opened... doubt we'll see any major overhauls but they still may stat reset just so new players aren't so disadvantaged.... or more likely maybe, they'll leave the original servers up but funnel most new traffic into new worlds.)

Typical NDA clauses allows for all kinds of things actually, including availability limited to whenever dafuq they feel like it, sudden cancellations of up time, no guarantees of anything backend being up (and in fact expect things to occasionally be down at best), etc etc.

It's known to have problems, that's why it's not final release

And yah, they can wipe or do w/e they want with stats at will as well.

Tribes Ascend. No wipe.

And with how the cert trees are, needing command/squadlead rank for certain abilities in game, it doesnt seem like a bad idea either. Get some commanders in early, get some squad leaders in early.

Path of Exile for example wipes after closed beta but not after open beta. that means there are a lot of possibilities that may happen *g*

Re: Wipe after Closed Beta?


Wipes are a given, both during and after beta.

Only thing I want to know is: Are vets going to be able to reserve their old names? I'd even pay a modest amount for that.

There was a twitter response at one point where they answered someone's question about wiping during the Beta and the answer was that yes, they would be doing wipes at a few points through the Beta.

^Which means experiment (Kinda the point of beta anyways right?)

Once they go to open beta... I'd start trying to invest smartly...

but I'd count on at least 1 going closed to open, and likely 1-3 before.

This is just common sense. Of course they will wipe it. Its a true beta, things constantly change in a true beta.

You kept every thing from closed.


Mainly because you can purchase currency during closed.

I expect the same from smite.

At 1 point during open beta they reset every ones xp ,tokens and gold so you can redistribute xp because of price changes and the change to tokens to xp. Used all of mine to max infil and soldier.

Yes! I love it when they wipe the characters, because then I can just go insane with everything without worrying about the consequences. The closed beta should have unlimited certs so that people can try out everything and then later on in he beta stage it can be legit progression.
