PTE Reset 19th Oct

EE_Elephterion

Hello Testers!

With 21.4 having arrived on the PTE now for a good week its time we reset the world for a fresh start.
We are going to reset the PTE world tomorrow, 19th October 2021 07:00 UTC. Maintenance should take about 30 minutes for the world.

This will reset the progress of the players on that world, you will retain your Supplies inventory as usual.
The next iteration will be a regular Forgotten Attacks world with max player level of 65. The POI buffs from last iteration will be retained to expedite progress.

Happy Testing!

I knew a reset was going to occur... what's the plans for 21.5?

21.5 will likely become 22.1 and has no date yet.

For those not familiar with the PTE and resetting it (I've had a few messages about it):
When a PTE is reset all progress wiped and it is as if you're starting a totally new world. Forgotten are back to covering the world, you need to choose your faction (NOD or GDI) and the sector you wish to land in.

After a day or two (not normally on the first day!) we usually get an increase in the cp limit to 300 and the rt to 2d12h but ..... sometimes this goes wrong and some get more and some nothing at random.

We will also be issued with RT crates (usually 12h ones) and CP crates. The start values for Credits and Research Points are decided by the developers but have usually been 10Million for both for most worlds. Each new account has also often started with a 1G of Tib, Crystal and Power - but not every world does this, it has been more, it has been less.

As you will see from this 'USUALLY' is what I have said, I don't know the start values and start setup are unknown to me or anyone but the developers.

Would the developers mind adding Power crates of each rank as a back up? I accidentally had my base destroyed while playing and lost all the power on one base that I haven't maxed out. An option to cause power plants to generate packages would be nice too.

I will request this directly.

My GDI base was destroyed earlier in the PTE by a 1 account alliance that's named best toast... I didn't expect to be attacked and I decided to put a cap on myself that places me at level 12. It was for early game combat practice, like the first few days in the server where you don't have Hawks/Verts. You ran into me earlier, @gamerdruid; I think I was still recovering from the attack...

Does the PTE have loot penalty and is rule for this to trigger? I attacked a lvl 12 outpost as Nod and destroyed its DF, 2 Crystal Harvesters and reduced the CY to 5%. I left the defense with 3 vehicles, a forgotten and a wall. I then attacked it as GDI with a Paladin and took all the loot. There were only 9 buildings left minus the CY. I don't understand why it didn't give me loot penalty...
