I’m curious as to what kind of issues could lead to a wipe… It would have to be a major problem in the progression system.

It’s possible, the beta had leaks of a lot of cosmetics becoming visible without being unlocked.

So basically if they run into bugs, which when patched could lead to issues down the line with existing character data, THEN they will delete the beta progression to avoid this.

Possibilities are Massive exploits found resulting in the game’s economy being utterly borked Game breaking bug(s) found in items, traits, etc. For example in the closed beta, a particular weapon who’s name I can’t recall, caused the entire game to crash. You could try to individually remove the b…

i still don’t see any official communication about the progression in the pre-order he (she?) simply say: we want to not: we will

No, they cannot guarantee anything there and it would be silly to do so.

There’s no need to look for major issues to prevent a wipe. It could just be something in the savefile or in the code or data that no longer works from one version to the other. Basically as they are branching (creating a beta version), they need to ‘turn off’ or ‘unplug’ some systems, maps, weapon…

Honestly, I’d rather they just say that they plan to wipe everything before the 23rd-26th and just have the ‘standard’ 3-5 day pre-order early access if they can’t confirm one way or the other. At least then people have an accurate expectation to some degree.

Yeah, I’d just prefer it get wiped and keep the confirmed launch.

Will progress in the pre-order beta (17th-29th Nov) carry over to the full release?
