Multiple times the developers promised that XP and crafting level will not be wiped, yet here we are. Make your mind up and set up a proper development plan. Right now it seems you're deciding on the fly when and what to wipe, regardless of what you told the community. I've spend a lot of time leveling under the assumption that those levels wouldn't be wiped anymore. If you want to wipe progress, don't publicly state that it won't get wiped. It's misleading and robs people of their time Sidenote: if you want to wipe with an equal playing field as reason, everything except DLC items would need to go, simple.

Yes, but if I delete a character after the wipe without applying the redeemables, am I able to create a new character and apply the redeemables on that one?

Let's say I create a character after wipe and I join Great Britain. I will then see redeemable rank. If I do not use the redeemables, delete the character and create a new character, will the redeemables still be there? In other words, are redeemables server-tied or character-tied as long as they have not been used?

That would be great. It would leave open options to join all nations on any server, even for inactive players who cannot sync their battles for one reason or another. It also helps guys like me that have to try really hard to get to max rank before wipe. I approve

Nice meme, not like the French share their Óceans and the Brits their Victories with you. Really selfish.

New nickname: LordMustang (pretty boring right?) Clan: don't have a clan Server: don't really know, depends on where you guys go.

That's the point of a game. Progression. Whether there are max rank players at launch doesn't change anything for new players, it rather increases new players as the experienced and higher ranked players will be able to help newer players and give them something to look forward to. Wiping XP doesn't influence the economy in any way and doesn't really have an effect on new player influx, making it redundant.

Does this mean that all characters will be deleted on all servers and that the US server will me moved elsewhere to be more "global" ?

Yes

Not sure how this is a valid argument, as even in later stages newbies will fight along higher ranked players. It's the nature of progression. Even heard of that?

That actually sounds like a great thing. I'm hyped boii

Hey guys, I saw a bind called HD screenshot, which I found takes 4K screenshots. Whatever I bind it to, it doesn't really take any screenshots. Can anyone explain it to me? I'd really like to take 4K screenshots although i don't own a 4K monitor. I usually make them with nVidia Ansel in other games.

So the Wapen von Hamburg will simply disappear from the game? It's very easy to give gift ships and then take them away, not really nice. While I certainly agree with wiping ships, I think you have to make these ships craftable or in any other means re-obtainable.

Resetting an economy isn't a fix, it's merely a postpone of an economical crash. It's not like "if we reset it it will somehow remain fine".

That is not how a game works. This game has a currency on which all material prices are based (gold). Disconnecting crafting materials from gold and connecting them to "historical values" would immediately crash the economy unless something is done about the gold as well.
