Having played rust for over 200 hours it safe to say i love the game.
I am actually looking forward to the XP system its exactly what the game needs, it removes the element of a new player who doesnt have a clue on how to play, being handed an ak blueprint and killing everyone.
What i am interested to know is whether there will be monthly wipes like with the current system with blueprints with the new XP system?
Personally i think because it will take longer for people to reach end game, crafting AK and C4 etc, it should stay forever right, whats everyone else think?
Wipe cycles will prohably stay the same the only thing that is going to change is how the first wipe after an Force wipe is gonna be
They should at least increase the time between wipes, I'm betting the XP system will mean your game time will include using bows longer without getting a quick AK in a barrel so longer time will be needed to even reach end game
You got a great point there, it will be very beneficial to new players with little to no experience playing rust and learning how each thing works due to the levelling system
The xp system is basically a great move for rust to become something better
It is true that you're using the bow for a longer period of time! With that said you need to play a lot to get further and it takes more time to be able to craft a C4 than it previously did.
Currently the pre release server I am playing on is mentioning that they want to move to the main branch as soon as the XP system is implemented. He is asking everybody what kind of wipe cycles are needed for the future. The average opinion came down to map wiping once a month (with avg 50 people at any time) and biweekly (with avg 100 people). The XP had to be wiped once in 3 months according to these players.
In my opinion the the XP must be wiped once in 6 months or so, but that's just I am a casual player and these other guys are some hardcore players. It took me 8 days with around 2.5 hours per day to (20 hours) to get to level 17. Now it takes like 3 hours to get to level 18 and this will get even harder when the levels are up. As perspective; the AK is available at level 31, the rocket launcher and rockets at level 32.. Meaning that I've to spend another 60/70 hours to get there. I can't manage that in 3 months as a casual player. But maybe you can, so count for yourself. There are obviously different servers with different map wipes, so find one that suits your needs.
Conclusion: I guess it will be the same like how it is now. But as far as I understood the devs, they once will get a game that has to be wiped far less. And I think that we are slowly crawling towards that.
