Fresh start/wipe after major update ?

[necrofil]

Hi!

I just want to know if we'll need to do a fresh start after each major updates of the game, or just the 1.0 version ?

We already finished the story of EA, so I'm just wondering if continuing some bases building is a waste of time or not.

Thanks!!

if the first game is any indication, it'll be expansion updates that may require a reset, i remember when they added the pond in it didn't need a fresh start, same with the trash bags, yet bigger areas, ie. The sandbox, upper yard, picnic table did need a fresh start as they altered the game world. So if we go by that my guess is AXL's arena probably won't need a fresh start. But considering, unlike the first game, you can't explore out of bounds areas, its probable that was done to avoid constant fresh starts

I believe that Axl’s arena has already been implemented into the game, just no Axl yet. There are numerous leaks of people exploring his rumored arena. You can only get into with fly mode or whatever.

Adding to Raven Scar: In grounded 1 they also changed some areas. I still remember the complains of some people when they found their base under water after the update because they change that specific area in a patch.

So will it be necessary? Probably, a lot can change in a year or two during EA.

Thanks for your answers! I guess I'll wait for some major patches to see how it goes before spending to much time in base building.

 

Have fun!!

i remember that, it made me laugh. There are, just like G2, areas that are safe to build, easy to find. But yh it will need fresh starts but unlike G1 EA, you can't go out of bounds the normal way, this makes me think the current area won't have drastic changes
