We are a clan of 7 on an official EU server 3052 and have been awaiting purge for three days but it has yet to trigger.
Server settings all seem normal.
Think yourself lucky if you’ve ever had a purge! I’ve never had one in over 3 months and many hundreds of hours playing. I actually thought it was just something that was broken. I’ve had the purge starting warning 3 times and then the purge over a minute or two later every time, but that’s it.
Hopefully they’ll fix it soon so we can all get them.
I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s a bug when their purge meter is full and nothing happens.
Every one who plays on your server is thrown into the same purge “lottery” if they’re above the line where purges can happen. Doesn’t matter if they’re online or not.
So if you’re on a server that has 100 different people/clans on at different times and say 50 of them could be chosen to be purged, you have a 2% chance it’ll be your turn.
Each day you’re back in the same “lottery” with every other person/clan that plays on that server, with different odds, to be purged. Whether you’re online, offline or have actually decided to quit the game doesn’t make any difference.
I’ve seen 3 bases get purged by people who were in the middle of quitting as they hadn’t logged on in days and a few days later their stuff decayed away.
What Dragon is describing is a different issue where the purge is allegedly coming and then 2 minutes later the purge is defeated and is a bug.
It’s now been about a week and a half at 100%, what’s the point in having this mechanic if the odds are so low it never happens? Players in my group are beginning to get bored and stop playing as this is pretty much the only challenge to a base in pve c…
I had two purges happen online and one happen off. They were all within one month. Now it’s been a month since the last one and nothing. What I did notice in both situations was the bases attacked were ones I hadn’t been to in days. Not sure it matters but maybe that’s a trigger or chance increaser. This was on an official PVE server. UPDATE - had another one today. Its the second one in a row on one of 6 bases. It was epic and finished with the Kinscourge, but my thralls kept him from even getting close to the base. I joined in on what was an easy kill. He did 3 hit a bearer though wearing Medium grade Vanir armor with 400 hit points. He couldn’t bring down the Cimmerian fighters (1 lvl2 and one lvl 3) though. So what I said about unvisited so not true. I had been to the base twice that evening before it hit.
