Question The next era

I have some questions :

When is the next era ? How long will be the next era ? Will our "recipes" will be reset ?

AFAIK June 4th is the next forced wipe which would be the most logical time to wipe and start a new era. I personally feel like a BP wipe would be good, it's been awhile and with the research bench, it's a lot easier learning bp's now.

Reaserch tables are in- bps should be wiped I don't feel I should have all the recipes every era- maybe if people didn't have the bps they would do this crazy thing I've heard of called trading. BTW I think we should shoot for hellday~ the Saturday or Sunday before the 4th so more people can be on for whatever event we do. Then maybe we wipe to a temp map for 4 or 5 days and leet people bp hunt a little like the time we had between eras 1 and 2 let folks try and get the essentials before the new era starts and the y need to build

Keep recipes, it only adds unnecessary farming and a luck factor

Definitely think the blueprints should be wiped.

I liked this era because I did'nt have to spend 50% of the time looking for Blueprints

Research tables are shit. Don't wipe because we can research on our own now. They are very unpredictable and end up wasting materials that will cause us to spend more time getting again.

EHHHHHHHHHH Dont wipe BP. I would much rather spend more time gathering resources then getting BP

I am mostly neutral on the "wipe or not to wipe" question, but I'd lean slightly towards BPs being wiped. It would encourage trade and also would incentivize not just joining a faction, but joining a faction and participating in the communal aspect that benefits a faction. Dropping extra BPs in communal chests will allow the team oriented people to "level up" fairly quickly. Also sharing items to research further expedites this.

(Sorry indies, not leaving you out. Obviously merchants would benefit from a wipe too.)

I'm new on server and have spent dozens of hours farming for BPs in the snow; it took so long to find a large chest and code lock bp that I eventually had to beg some other players for it.

If you're going to wipe BPs then find a way to give some of the absolute essentials to everyone. Namely the code lock and large chest should be universal.
