Add unique items to to trigger server wipe before its time.#34002

Add unique items if all collected by a single team for a certain amount of time they would have the ability to trigger map wipe. The items should be globally visible in the map to encourage other players to prevent the wipe. The items should have some unique features which will buff the claiming team aginst hordes of raiders coming against them. Some examples of the unique itemsare:

  1. A placeable recycler
  2. half-cost mixing table
    and so on. Unique items amount may vary based on map size or Admin setting.

Couple issues comes to mind.
-Unlimited team servers that have massive zergs would consistently trigger wipes. So servers would wipe so often people won’t rejoin them.
-Wont be able to use this suggested feature during the monthly update.
-Cant work on hardcore maps since no maps.
-Double buff in combination teas and suggested buffed items would be

Facepunch have already mentioned and started work on a narrative for wipes with the jets and bombing runs

Appreciate your comment @Mr Whip . I agree the idea is just a raw idea ,but, it can be polished to be an even better. Here are my clarifications and justification of my suggestion:

  1. The items are unique and zergs must have collect them all to trigger the wipe and all the server will turn against the zerg to prevent the wipe.
  2. The wipe can be a reroll of the server to zero hour of current wipe and force wipe timing can be carried out normally.
  3. A craftable map to show the location can be implemented since the old map is still in the game or a tracking device.
  4. Didn’t frankly understand your point, but the idea is to balance the power as all the server normally will be against the holder of the items and they need the means to make them able to defend against the hordes of raiders.

To clarify, these items are not craftable nor can be destroyed and only one of each type should be present in a server. also, they only can be obtained during major server events such as patrol heli and cargo.

Yeah a huge zerg or cheater just forcing the server to wipe sounds great.
What is up with all of these suggestions that dont understand the appeal of the game?
Nobody wants to play mid-end of wipe.

Thanks for your input @Squabadudbob Skidipap regarding the “huge zerg” holding all unique items its up to the rest of the server to decide if they want wipe to happen as they should raid them to remove these items within limited time lets say 2-3 days to prevent it. And if cheaters are involved the server Admins will have easier time identifing them and ban them. To be honest most of long servers pop dropping after week one. This idea will refresh pop.

I like the Idea of it and it had some potential, also it give a different purpose of each wipe not just loot, raid and some fight with f*up recoil
