I created near a base near the dregs exit. I used sandstone to start then upgraded it to t3 (stormglass and reinforced stone). I spent about a week with each maybe less with the t3 stuff. I built a tavern out of some other t3 set it had a jungle vibe to it that kinda matched the area. The tavern was upgraded before the rest of my base. I log in one day and half my base is missing. the missing part was all stromglass and reinforced stone. I am on a PVC official server my understanding is that you cannot destroy other players bases. Looking at the log it just says the foundations lost support. I created a ticket to funcom and have heard nothing back nor have i seen anyone report something like this. I am thinking the sandstorm is doing this but i thought the storm would not do that. I have taken damage in my base from the storm while fully sheltered so there is that. The tavern is still standing and seems to be fine. anyone have any thoughts? the Dregs exit is a no build area. I wanted to put an stairway near it for a safe way down. Mainly i am upset as my thralls disappeared along with the base.
sounds a bit like purge griefing, that was rampant on our official pvec server some weeks ago
It can also be not grieffing but just the owners of the other base launching a purge like they used to before op built near them , and then not realizing what is happening to their neighbour while defending … just saying before calling out grief , mistakes also happens !
well, if it happens to 2-3 bases a day, always by the same clan, it probably isn’t a mistake.
Sure , and I’m not saying purge griefing doesn’t exist nor that this isn’t what happened to OP, just that It can also be a mistake and we shouldn’t rush to conclusion , I see nowhere in OP’s post about any other people complaining or it happening to “2-3 bases a day”. Therefore a bit of restrain can go a long way , OP now can reach out to the neighbours whitout having to be accusatory and conflict can be resolved “peacfully” if it is a mistake , but if he only had your version , he would be more accusatory towards his neighbours and might start conflict or even make a report resulting in a clan ban for a mistake …
first of all, if it is purge griefing, the griefers can relax. On our server they have been reported multiple times by a lot of people and 2 months later they are still there, although there has been a lot of proof in videos and pictures. So nothing is happening there.
For the sake of your argument, lets call it purge damage. I didn’t mean to insinuate that it has been malicious, may also just have been negelcting, dumb or missing experience
I’m sorry to hear that , just out of curiosity , after you received the automated response to your report , did you follow up with a response to this automated mail stating "no the issue is not resolved , please this needs immediate attention from the team ! " ? Because if you didn’t , then you maybe want to untill you get a proper response , and not just another automated response .
( at least in my experience this has always yield a posivite result to my reports
)
well, yes , but then a week later the server got attacked with someone using admin hacks to delete peoples followers and priorities shifted. You can always build purge save, but there is nothing you can do against cheeats like that.
But anyways, didn’t want to divert from OPs question.
What he describes sounds like purge damage, can’t really think of anything else
One other possible thought - if the missing part of the base was not physically connected to the rest of the base, then it is possible it was on a separate decay timer. If that was the case then it could potentially have decayed if you had only been refreshing the other part of the base. It’s relatively unlikely, and would require a pretty precise set of circumstances, but it’s another possibility to consider.
Hpw ckose to the dregs? if you got too ckpse to the obbie, game might have read it as blocking obbie and delete. Rarelu happens if you dont completely surround it, but might be the case.
the game reads nothing ![]()
Thank you for the input. Guess it is possible it is purge damage. There are 2 other builds not far from me one is below on the starting river. the other is a small teleporter room. it would not take much to build near me to trigger this. I logged in today to see if more of the base was missing and nothing was. Guess it tracks someone might come back and clean out the rest of the base. My good stuff was in the area that disappeared the following day. guess ill start to rebuild…
