thekillergreece Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Title! Hinterland so far wiped Survival saves about 2-3 times since EA to launch day after implementing major gameplay changes/features. So, I was wondering if they will have to wipe the survival saves again before implementing a future major gameplay feature? Thoughts? Are you worried about losing your long-term saves to future wipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaknafein Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Maybe I am just lucky, but I have played this game for 4 years and never lost any save games. Even if it happened, its just an excuse for a new adventure for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpUpAway95 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I wipe them myself anyways whenever a major update hits and happily start fresh. I remember my Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition days when each update would try to mesh into already created worlds and generally just succeeded in creating a mess of mismatched biomes and biome behaviors, along with bad chunks and funky terrain. It wasn't pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I haven't worried about it because I don't get forced updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTC-10 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The only legacy save game wipe I recall was when Hinterland decided to redo the manner in which the save games were handled. Any future occurrence would likely entail a much more substantial structural change in the game that renders the previous save games substantially or completely invalid than any kind of updates or new game mechanics. I can't say that something like that couldn't happen, but I don't worry about it at all though I would be upset if it was for anything less than some HUGE structure change.

hozz1235 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I would think HL would do everything in their power to prevent this from happening, so I don't think/worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, last time they said they want to never do that again. So I am mostly counting on that. I think that's why they implemented the loot boxes. That way they can redo many things and save the players stuff from disappearing. If it were to happen now I would not enjoy it as I am aiming for the 500 days in interloper but I learned a lot so far so a redo would not be a disaster.
