Technical features of the game can spoil the surprise.
Recently, the first Arc Raiders players were able to go on an expedition (a local voluntary wipe). It turned out that in addition to the previously announced rewards, the developers prepared a surprise for the community.
After going into the wipe, players were supposed to see a cinematic video, but there was a problem — not all players received it. Due to the in-game notification system for the new season of challenges, some users had a script error and were not shown anything.
Also, some players, like black-scout, were not impressed with the quality of the skin for the wipe, and the question hangs in the air, "Was it worth it?"
Judging by the comments, some members of the community are still satisfied with such a cosmetic reward. They welcome the presence of a voluntary wipe system — players can decide for themselves when to "reset" their account in order to start filling the stash from scratch.
