Single player Offline Purge? PS4

My purge bar has been filled to the second white mark for awhile now, yet no purge is happening. As far as I know, all settings are at default. My base is on the big tree island in Noob River.

Can anyone shed some light on why the purge is not triggering for me? Am I just being impatient?

I can only guess a few reason,

  • your base are in the river biome(newbie zone) no purge going to spawn there
  • the base is not big enough
  • you build the base with only the pillar foundation touching the ground or clift wall.
    That all I have.

Ah crap, that must be new. I know I experienced a purge on that island a couple years ago.

Thanks, guys

Yeah - it’s alright, you’re not going nuts - that is a relatively recent change.

Holy mackrel, @Wak4863 is that image accurate mate?? Funcom told us that the new no Purge zone (which I was vehemantly opposed to) would only affect the southern bank of the Newbie River; NOT both banks and a sizeable chunk of the lower Desert biome too! Ok so let us look at this map of Purge tier difficulties:

It would appear to me that this new no purge zone covers the ENTIRE tier Purge area. So tier 1 Purges effectively no longer exist!? Funcom you claimed that this decision was made (in the face of strong opposition) to give new players a chance and help them learn the ropes right. So in doing that, assuming the image is accurate, you have now taken away any ability of newer players to do a soft tier 1 Purge as a form of training before graduating to tier 2 & 3 purges. Talk about going from nothing straight to the deep end; some tier 2 purges such as the Dagon ones can be very tricky, and I feel it would be a real shock to the system for a newer player who has never done a purge before.

Funcom you spoke about “giving them a chance” in justifying this change. So how about giving them a chance to learn the purge system and work their way up the difficulty ladder!?

Not quite the entire tier 1 zone - I can confirm that where the river goes more northwards for a bit before splitting (I, J, K 5/6 area) still receives purges. However, it is also within the catchment zone for the Cultists of Sobek purge, which is also not great for newer players…

Yes at least as close as I can get it in photo shop. The coordinates are -150000 200000 and 120000 300000 Listed as PurgeBlocker_NoobRiver and the dev kit. That is what I used to make the image.

Just to update, I started building a new base in the area of F5/G5 and almost immediately got purged by a bask of lizards lol.

That Image can’t be Accurate at all. I still get Purges there. I assume left over tag in dev kit?
H and I 3, up to river, My Main Purge Bases.
I get Purges SE of Darfari Dregs. (almost always Imps) (thou not latest patch, rarely build there now)

I-3, you can get Razor Kitchen, Snakes etc. (which I have base right up into deserts no build zone)
get purges all time.

I-2, can get Imps. (small forest area facing Desert South)

F and G-3 South End along hill tops, I’ve gotten Imps.

You need about 80-90+ foundations type pieces. (Foundation walls included) to trigger a Purge.
Never really texted normal walls… (as they were never really part of total before)

If you have full Purge Meter, Just make Stack of 100 sandstone, head into a spot you want a Purge, and build away. (depending on area… high level enemies will treat sandstone like wet paper. )

(ps4 anyway) all way up to latest patch. =/
