wait. wait. wait. what about "periodic wipes and founder resets will still occur"???

[Fuzzyhead]

OK THEN LET ME TALK WITH YA

so FACTS, 7th agust: the Founder gets their Founder mechs in the CLOSED beta.
CB phase 2 begins, player stats exp etc will be wiped.

at open Beta all CB testers (yes founder too) gets wiped
in Open beta can be still wiped but premium etc will be reseted then.

so everthing else would be break of nda cya

Alright, guess I'll be playing on and off then until they announce the last wipe.

I think he made the large fonts for those with lack of reading comprehension, not that I think it will help much.
Some people here seems to be completely set in how they think things will be no matter if it will be or not.

Can't find a quote yet, but I'm absolutely sure it was said that there would be a wipe at the end of open beta/release of the game and all Founder's assets will be reset too, so founder's lose nothing.

There is no wipe at the end of open beta. There will be one last wipe BEFORE open beta starts. Open beta is effectively "release", in terms of the service being live, but not feature complete.

Yeah, this basically cleared everything up:

Obviously that announcement was made AFTER I opened the thread, then I link exactly that announcement after it is released and you fail by reposting it without even checking the last reply in the thread?

So seriously what?

Well Chairman Mrow. That has not been changed. There will be patching tomorrow and resets will happen. The game will launch offically for everyone on the 14th. Why do you believe this has been changed?

where the hell did you get launch info that even the devs dont know O.o

It's on the internet, it must be true!

Although I must admit, this is more entertaining than a game of telephone.

July 17th - Original scheduled Founders Injection date.
August 7th - New scheduled Founders Injection date.
End Of Summer - Open Beta starts.

Now.. between July 17th and August 7th some stuff happened (obviously they got the production servers online earlier than August 7th but after the original date).. and they pushed to get all the founders into the closed beta to try and make up for the original delay of it not being July 17th. However, when they pushed the date back to August 7th, they would have also pushed their own internal project planning out to meet that date and consequently, the assets (as in the models and skins for the mech) and founders mechanics (boosts and the like) would not be finalised until August 7th.

So all that will be happening on August 7th is the Founders mechs will be live and the correct amount of MC will be allotted to each Founder. Everything else will remain, largely, the same. Try to think of August 7th as a major patch day and nothing more than that... because that's all it is now that all Founders are in Beta instantly.

I think the most confusion is at the fault of the devs. "Head Start" is suggestive to playing the game (that won't be wiped) ahead of people who don't "pre-order" - at least in the traditional sense. And by "traditional" I mean as the rest of the industry usually uses the term. My understandings of the founders package is this:

- you pay money to secure in game perks/content at a reduced price to be used in beta phases and "live" phase. "live" meaning when wipes stop.
- you get access to the closed beta
- you get to use said in game perks/content you purchased in the all phases of the beta (reset with each reset/phase). i.e. "head start?"

Is there actually going to be a "head start" portion of the game. Meaning that founder players can play the game before the general public and not have said gameplay/progress wiped?

[Nytefury]

The info about the game going live/open beta on the 14th is 100% wrong. The date is yet to be announced.
