After the wipe

HelloAllHelloAll Posts: 701Member Intermediate
General Discussion
So I don’t want or expect it to happen.
This is a question to those who would like the wipe.

What is your plan in game?
Will you instantly grind certain skills or a trade?
What are you going to do with your first weeks/months?

I’m just curious.

What if the wipe isn’t the godsend to save the game you thought it would be?

What if you are left with the same problems but without all of your hard earned skills and possessions?

I’d like to hear your view.

This is not to create a debate, just want to understand your side of it.

    Tbh, there will be no wipe no but or if since they already announced that they will upgrade to Age of Reasons while they did mention "new ways to play" that had me worried for some time now lol.

    If they decide to wipe out server, it's no big deal for me because I can level up my toons at no time and will make easy decision at this time. However, I feel bad for others who said they will quit because they spent $$$ on NC then Astro then will lose astro ships and items. Also, wipe out server means all ports development will reset to 0 then you will have to invest again to get books and unlock bunch of items/FS parts/Equipment and trade goods.

    During OGP suddenly announced that UWO will transfer to Papaya, Papaya never gave us their answer till relaunch approaches that made me nervous. So I decided to create 2 toons on my main account then accident deleted Jose_Cruz and lost one astro ship and few astro items. I was focus on 2 new toons for 2 days after I transferred bunch of items (non-buyable and one time) and ships to my main toons. My both toons managed to unlock all permits ,so they will able to take Imperial Quest.

    You can see that I will have no problem to level up my toons within few days or maybe a week to reach 35/35/35 again. Since they will upgrade to Age of Reasons, it still will have thanksgiving festival, BR, travelling merchants, steam ship, etc that's why many players that include myself will have no problem with that ,but not all would agree, though.

    After the wipe you will see a few level 85 in 7 days, and nanban fleet in 3 days, while there would be a lot of steering rowing grinders reaching max in 2 months.

    You will see most things return to the price of multi billions because nanban players can afford them. As for the poor soul who is still in school quest, you are just irrelevant in the merchant world chat ...

    Here is a guide on how to grind battle to 85.

    First grind theology by exploiting map opening "feature" and grind to R9 theology and search, 1 day
    First find 3 toons and make 100 aos, i.e. 34 runs, 2 days
    Do blacksea battle report to 60, unlock, 65, unlock, 70 unlock unlock unlock til 85, 3 days


    Wipe is not going to save the server, because most veteran already knows what to abuse in order to power level. Then they will dominate the market and premium items will be expensive. Soon they start reselling and milk the rest of the community dry. They probably will sell ducats for dollars too.

    Then the rest of us either pay to catch up, or leave for good. Then it is GG smeedar!

    I would love to see a more detailed explanation of this, or a link to the info if that exists.

    If there's a wipe, I'll start with competing 8 schools (all except the advanced adventure school) and getting my trade skills going, plus fishing, caution, frugality etc. And shipbuilding - I was level 15 base rank, almost 16. so that is a bummer.

    Well, shit me to the lab, looks like there is going to be a wipe. I'll have to make plans at my work to take a couple of weeks of vacation so I can enact my 8/5 strategy. Play UWO for 8 hours, sleep for 5 hours, play for 8 hours, sleep for 5 hours, play for 8 hours.....I think you can see where this is going.

  • WesDoobnerWesDoobner Posts: 761Member Intermediate
    If you're still level 10 on trading when I'm level 40, I'll be glad to give you a load of pepper or nutmeg to level up! Make sure you have lots of cargo room!

    yes once you've earned enough fame to even start the IQ. then in your slow slow ship have to do the IQ and travel to run, ambon, calicut.

    Gonna take ages to get to that stage now.

    KatanaUWO,
    you are a total noob. You have 0% chance to get to level 85 Maritime in 7 days.
    If you could, every player last wipe would be 85 Maritime.  Take it from players who were actually level 85.  I can say this, because if you were level 85 maritime, you would not claim such a rediculous thing. Level 84->85 is 534,650xp That alone will be 6 Black Sea Battle reports. One Black Sea battle report is only 94,342 xp.  If you could go from one battle 3-4 ships per fleet, immediately to the next battle and win in minimal time it would take 90 minutes of non stop clicking to complete one battle report. This assumes there are no other players or pirates in the Black sea.  Realistically it will take about 3hours to complete one report.  This is 18 hours of non stop fighting and sailing finding the next fleet. This also assumes that you have an endless supply of AOS and do not need to take any time to make any plates or cannons.  I have detailed records of my last 54 battle reports., starting in the Caribbean, moving to India and then finally to the Black Sea.  Level 85 Maritime in 7 days.. What nonsense.
    Perhaps you are thinking Papaya will give you a +500% XP bonus talisman??

    just for giggles, i made a toon 30/30/30 in 7 days. IT WAS HARD WORK, 8 hours a day , and i played since closed beta. I KNOW THE SHORT CUTS , i doubt very much you could make lvl 85 in a month , because the ships will not be there, there will be no casters  who can complete the MA to get the books , no sewers to make battle sail, etc. I know what early days are like with ZORO astor ships. many left when the first ship was in the raffle tickets ( no bottle or chests themdays )
  • patersmith66patersmith66 Posts: 503Member Intermediate
    I also say you have 0% chance to unlock Maritime level 70 until you have a few
    level 2 area of effect poison/flame traps. (Either R4 Trap/R6 Bio or R6  Trap, R6 Geography and and 500 land battles to actually randomly acquire these adventure trap techs) 
    You think you can do it without trap techs? Equip your best 100attack weapon and a few 100d equipment, on 3 of your best toons that you just bought and you will still have 0% chance. Without R10 swordplay/swordmastery/throw/snipe high level forte etc.  Solo You are not going to do much vs 4 level 50 NPC's.  Fleet with 2 of your other toons, great now your fighting 6 of them. Some of the missions even say you have to use 3 adventure techs or use some other typically high level maritime skill to complete the mission. 
    Katana, you are dreaming..

    Here, most even have no idea what the game means from scratch.
    This means investing in cities from the beginning to unblock goods, books, things, quests, which will require huge costs. And to earn as many ducats with the initial levels of the character will be incredibly difficult. Yes it will be fun, like last time, but for those who did not pass through this before.
    KANATTA, 85/85/85 in the coming year it will be impossible to see anyone.
  • AdelinaKazAdelinaKaz Posts: 83Member Beginner
    I hope new game from PAPAYA will be without astro-ships
  • HelloAllHelloAll Posts: 701Member Intermediate
    @AdelinaKaz It will be without players soon, it won't last now. The ones with the will power and patience to get this game moving again are too burned to continue. Or so i believe.
  • AdelinaKazAdelinaKaz Posts: 83Member Beginner
    @HelloAll
    in any case I'm in the game. I played in the most difficult times for UWO and I'm not going to stop playing now. I have adapted to any innovations and will now adjust.
  • HelloAllHelloAll Posts: 701Member Intermediate
    @AdelinaKaz Well done, maybe if we are the only 2 left we can fleet :D
  • WesDoobnerWesDoobner Posts: 761Member Intermediate
    patersmith66 - do you have records of how many exp points you got from the various battle reports after sinking 200 ships? I always thought the Genoa and Calicut battle reports gave the most points for the time spent on them. Any thoughts?
    May the winds blow you well
  • crazyhunter2003crazyhunter2003 Posts: 763Member Intermediate
    Wes,genoa is r3 ,calicut s r6. higher rank BR awards more xp,fame & ducats
    IGN:JackO'Neil
  • WesDoobnerWesDoobner Posts: 761Member Intermediate
    I was getting around 50k points each time at genoa, 80k at calicut, while I was going from level 61 to 62. And they were quick, but if there are some others that are better I would love to hear about them.

  • crazyhunter2003crazyhunter2003 Posts: 763Member Intermediate
    iirc some BRs are r9 which would likely give more

  • LyonesseJosephLyonesseJoseph Posts: 637Member Intermediate
    Oh well, my effort to level up my 2 toons and transferred bunch items and ships to main toons turned out wasted. lol
  • WesDoobnerWesDoobner Posts: 761Member Intermediate
