There will be NO WIPE at all. They are still sending CB invitations and I guess they will non stop sending until the server is full. Once they are happy with the current version from Valiant Force they will launch it globally with a new server. So nobodys will complain, new players will have their own fresh server and a version of Valiant Force improved, we beta testers had the luck to enjoy the game before than everyone else.

Beta players will find they are too advanced like to start from zero in the new server. Who wants leave his lv 50 accounts? Nobody.
So I guess the population from our Beta server, the first server somehow will keep healthy.
Clear as water.

If they open up a second server for a fresh start I would be overly happy about it. My bank account not so much.

But they have said they don't plan to fragment the population so I don't think they plan to. Though the beta was focused on the Sea-region, right? So maybe they could split it SEA Region and Non-SEA region. Two separate servers is hardly fragmented.

If I would choose, I'd say yes, But in return, CBT players will receive something that only CBT players has.

No to DATA WIPE, if there is no reimbursement to CBT players who spent in-game. Compensation will not be enough though.

IMO one of the better options for dev is to keep the server as it is and create an Arena to separate those that too OP (big Spenders or CBT players) so that the new player won't have to deal with them (arena category based on Combat power of the team, prestige level, player level, etc), since the difference in power only felt in arena only, so might best if they can let the newcomers compete in easier arena , and ban the big player from there, just my 2 cents :mrgreen:

There is no need to wipe. Do F2P players really expect to reach TOP 10 or something? A F2P player will probably be able to make a 5 star in a month. But a P2P person who spends just a $100 will be able to buy a 5 star and in 1 month of play time catch up and surpass the F2P person. Unless you are lucky or plan to no-life this game, you are not going to catch up to people who spend money to support the game. Also top whales would have spent $5000-$10000 easily. It is extremely difficult to be F2P and be competitive to people who spend $100's to $1000's of dollars. Also a new whale who started the game will catch up to a F2P person who may have played for months.

I voted YES, but it'll never win better the most vocal majority posting here are playing from APK, and will not want to lose progress.

People are comparing this to a soft-launch, but a soft-launch doesn't fully block purchases and stuff.

I believe XIIBraves made an error here, but I think they wanted to open up the Cash Shop as fast as possible to entice CBT whales to gobble it up.

If things dosent change during launch people wont play this game because theres too much p2w aspect. Wipe or not devs must fix this issue.

How do those two topics relate? The question is Data Wipe, yes or no? This has nothing to do with F2P players or P2P players.

When this game is released there will be a lot of P2P players who would want to compete as well. There might be a few whales who think, "Do I want to spend thousands of dollars on this game" and then realize, "Oh, the game has been out for awhile now to a select group who already paid thousands" and just pass on the game entirely. So a fresh server would entice a lot of people who might otherwise just pass on the game entirely since they don't want to start far behind.

Actually i dont mind if the server wipe and start afresh again, but DEVs must make sure to reimburse the gems/money that ppl bought, or else its not fair to the ppl who spend..
And maybe give some small reward for CBT players this will pacify F2P players, but the P2W players maybe just slightly.
