Agreed.
 
The reasons for the wipe are so vague:
- They want to do another terrain reset, fine, no reason not to give the promised 'magic BPs' or just reset the terrain like last time, and let us decide whether to move/rebuild.
- They want to declutter the world of abandoned constructs? As above. Not a reason to stop active players from rebuilding, and not give us 'magic BPs'. (Plus, the clutter only happened because they gave everyone HQ tiles even if they were unsubbed.)
- They think new players prefer to start on an empty world? Speculation, and flawed - per your comments above. Also, making it painful for active players to rebuild only costs active players.
- They want to fix exploits? NQ-Deckard is on record previously saying exploits were all corrected and a tiny part of the economy. 
 
There's no stated reason that goes to the reversal on 'magic BPs'. The only other possible logic is the fear players will stockpile mats/elements in 'magic BPs' which could easily have been addressed by vaporising anything removed from their "one-time-use 'Packaged blueprints'" so it can't be resold. At least explain why they couldn't keep their word, rather than all the obfuscation.

I have a single 92 million talent point character. It is the only character I played since Beta day 1. No alts. I invested my time heavily in this character, the ships I built and my base on Sanctuary. And I loved playing. Now, I can understand the quanta reset, though what they are offering is insulting and kinda useless if you don’t start with it. The reset of territories, loss of ships? Ok, understand that…I have my blueprints...but they will be useless without my talents and a reasonable starting Quanta. I personally see no benefit to the idea of everyone starting out the same…quite the opposite. When I started I was inspired by the constructs (not just experience) of all the veteran players, it kept me in the game. This was a paid Beta, I never expected a reset of talent points, and kinda feel like it is a breach of contract between player and dev. Seriously, I was looking forward to starting as an advanced player, I earned it. There were months when I logged on daily but could not play (working an ER during the pandemic first wave in NYC was a no fun)...just to invest in this future day of launch and the coolness of being a veteran player with cool stuff and experience around all the noobs...when I actually had time to really play. I loved this game when I started, the potential was amazing and still don’t see anything like it in potential out there. But the loss of talent points I think is the last straw for me and Dual Universe. Talent points were the one thing no exploit could influence. No matter how good the game may turn out to be, I have lost my trust in the Devs, am a bit disappointed, and a bit all around upset.

Yeah, sadly NQ don't have a great track-record keeping promises.

Just because building something was fun, doesn't mean rebuilding all over again is also fun. 

Question: Will NQ be wiping image upload on the website. Don't see why they should but I have come to expect bonkers decisions these day. If you do, Please give us a button to download all images in a single zip.

I can't help but laugh at peoples saying "Now this is the release, there wont be another wipe !" or "You really thought there will be no wipe after a beta ?"
 

Beta release :
NQ - "No more full wipe now, we PROMISE !"
Players - "Yeay ! Let's play for real now, invest our time in it !"
 

Re-release :
NQ - "Here is the final full wipe !"
Players who played years - "F"
Players who have not played - "Yeay ! Get rid of all those beta cheaters ! Now I will play !"
 

Also NQ in this annoucement :
"We hope to have only one release"
 

It's HILARIOUS.
Good bye everyone. 

Cool. May those who remain have lots of fun. Bye!
 
If anyone has gotten the 25 fonts I have made. I highly recommend you make your own core blueprints from them. It will be the only way to have them in the future. They are DRM-free, so it should be pretty a pretty simple thing to do.
 
And yes, <whomever it may concern>, you can have my stuff.

I'm undecided. It depends how much is lost. I'll likely go play something else if the damage is too heavy.
 
Like, if we still don't have static BP alignment, so there's no way to rebuild the bases I've put 1000s of hrs into.
 
If LUA doesn't come across on BPs. (There's no way I'm spending weeks going around copying LUA on dozens of controllers to text files and then manually reinstating them).
 
Or anything else goes sideways. (Demeter was a hell-scape of nasty surprises.)
 
And, if too many other players also leave.
 
I put >3000 hrs into this game on the promise of persistence. I really figured NQ would have a better plan than just wiping everything.
 
What about you?

Yeah, sadly NQ don't have a great track-record keeping promises.

Yeah... Good luck with that! NQ has about the trustworthiness on 'promises' of a stinky old clown handing out lollipops to little children... At this point they are only after your cash!

I still don’t get how we were promised magic BPs for our constructs if there was ever a wipe, and now we just get nothing. 
 
So many questions: 
 
1) Will we now finally get static BP alignment, for when we redeploy our constructs? That we still have that annoying raycast deploy is nuts - far worse after a wipe. 
 
2) Why do we need to backup LUA when it’s saved in BPs? (How do you even back up LUA?)
 
3) If Sanctuary is being reset do we all start back at the Ark? And have to do the new player experience all over again?
