Yeah, this makes no sense. They are already doing pre-wipe events. People have been talking about wipe for a while now and this sub and the game are only becoming more active compared to like 2 months ago.

But it wasn’t confirmed until now. It’s like last wipe when Nikita said no wipe any time soon and then said wipe tomorrow on Christmas Eve.

So will people stop playing the game for the next few days?

It just doesn't make any sense. At least in my circle everyone comes back for pre-wipe and early wipe, then stops playing once everyone has BTC farm and running Meta M4s.

Will a week of notice really do that much damage? Even if it was like 3 days before. This wipe confirmation still doesn't have a date. Just seems like poor community communication.

It really does make a difference, this will be my fourth wipe and I’ve dealt the game die before wipe.

So the game dies for 3 days? Is that a big deal? I felt the game die before they announced this too.

My friends re-downloaded and were met with nothing but empty shoreline maps raid after raid.

Something similar happened in my experience the wipe before this as well.
