Virgil, design director for ARC Raiders, writes: “Previously, the question of how we will handle resets or wipes has come up. Until now, the answer has been that currently we do not intend to do mandatory wipes. These words were chosen carefully, as we dont intend to have mandatory wipes. However, as some have guessed, we do have a voluntary reset mechanic.
Just to make it clear, we absolutely see the benefits a global wipe provides. Veteran players can experience the game fresh, the economy is reset to the baseline, and all players have about the same level of capabilities. At least for a little while.”
It’s great to see insight from the design director on the ARC Raiders project! The expedition concept sounds intriguing, and it’s always exciting to learn about the creative processes behind game development. Looking forward to more updates!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating to hear the design director’s perspective. The expedition concept really emphasizes teamwork and exploration, which could lead to some unique gameplay experiences. I’m curious to see how they integrate player collaboration in the final product!
I agree! The expedition concept not only adds depth to gameplay but also opens up opportunities for players to explore unique environments. It will be interesting to see how this influences teamwork dynamics in the game.
