Is the Purge working for you / your server?

@Barnes

the balls to just say purge is working?

Since programming is a science, we must therefore apply logic/math. Anecdote is not evidence. And the sword has a double blade; while it’s easy to say the devs are hiding behind a syllogism, it is extremely hard for one to make the case that Funcom is lying here. Besides the fact that Jens Erik is clearly speaking truthfully in video now available on YouTube, we are privy to actual observations of purges working as intended.

I am living proof. They wrecked my ■■■. However, I am also on another server, and while our holdings are significantly larger, my teammate tells me he’s never had a purge, and in 10 days I’ve not seen one. This is in direct contrast to my Launch Server – bad purges every other day until I was wrecked. Even my lousy little lumber camp. Poof . The newer server, not once, not ever, purge meter full to bursting every day.

My newer experience doesn’t negate the first, it simply informs me there are observations to be made and conditions that must be met prior to a successful purge. Sometimes we won’t know what’s been wrought until the best of us have had a chance to break it. I do know this: there are certain “never build” zones that I seem to have lucked into, where you’ll only get monsters and pain. Building in the opposite zones seems to protect you. And that’s about all we know now.

Sorry but this time I don’t agree with you in the slightest.

“programming is a science and we must apply logic math”

Wanna check this thread? Weather system? Rain? Armors getting wet? - #70 by Vattende, where I provide the most senseless and mindblowing fix to weather not working, which is almost sorcery-like fix, and count how many people, included myself, are finally enjoying weather system, thanks to not applying logic?

How my "anecdote" becomes evidence for 3/4 of the people that tried the fix in that thread?

I don’t know where you wanna get with that “maths / anecdote” remark, but as you can see, it has been easily debunked.

Living proof of what? There are many players (as you can see not only in your poll, but in this thread created almost a month ago) that have working purges. I also had 2 working waves during purges. We are all the living proof that Purge is not a myth (lol) but also that it is far from working as intended.
