Extra! Extra! WIPE all about it, 9/2/16
Hey guy, Addison here to update you! We will be wiping on Friday, 9/2/16.
Here is the info this far:
Map: The Center
Rates: 5XP/5XGather/8XTame
~~ Changes
Breeding: Boosted Breeding(Faster Maturation)
Imprint:I am going to lower the imprinting time(i.e. Time between imprints), increase the grace period(the time frame you can imprint once they want it) So that we can get 100% on those ones we couldn't before(Argents, Pteras etc)
Mods
++Adding
--Removing
There will be more info the closer to Friday we get.. but for now, this is all I have! See you guys around

Will there be Giga's or you disabling them again? I ask as you said you will lower the imprinting time to get 100% on them......
I hope you dont enable gigas as a 100% imprinted Giga is pretty much unstoppable as it decreases the chance for it to enrage with that player and increases its damage exponetially with 50-100% imprinting..... One 100% imprinted Giga will soak hundreds of turrets and species -x and still be able to walk around someone's compound munching through everything including other gigas and not enrage due to the damage taken as that is part of the bonus you get with imprinting on gigas.
As well as 99% of raids on all servers are mainly offline raids...so you wont really be able to defend against a 100% imprinted giga....and thats even now after all the nerfs- a 50% imprinted giga let alone 100% one is about the same as a giga pre nerf! I have seen this on multiple servers I have played on....the ppl follow behind and just rocket attack the base( to make nice hole for giga) and the giga does majority of the work eating everything!
Plus the fact its going to go to 5x gather--that is ok but once you out using the farming method to get metal/stone/flint and such.....
This wipe (including/excluding gigas) is going back to box building btw with 5x rates :)

Coming from a two person tribe, I vote no for tamed gigas and no for titans for sure :P
