Mister Dobalina Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Seems like almost every day we have multiple people asking when wipe is. Maybe we could get a "define wipe" chat command that spits out some message like "All RustEZ servers wipe with Facepunch force wipe on the first Thursday of every month" or something like that? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postanou Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 First Thursday of every month only works for US servers. For AU it is the Friday morning after the first Thursday of the month. So to implement this Death would have to create multiple defines if that is possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worded to reflect multiple timezones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Define wipe" ran on all the servers for years – it was removed earlier this year because people were using it to spam chat. Wipe is not the same date & time for all the regions we have servers, so the define was a bit lengthier than most and perfect for trolls to spam global chat (we can't have nice things). Will see if @Death can do a replacement of sorts for this though. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So player asks about what, another player tells him the command. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff GenProx Posted November 21, 2021 Staff Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Just use UTC times, and most people can work it out easily from that. (yeah, I know, define most... ) Maybe a /wipe command, something like the /vip command, so you only get 1 answer per day and can't spam chat? (Too hard basket is over that way >>> ) Edited November 21, 2021 by GenProx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Rohan Posted January 1, 2022 Staff Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Maybe a countdown clock works better? Define wipe "Wipe is in ~days~hours~minutes~" (pull actual time left from the server's time until next first thursday next month? dd/mm/yyyy) Then it won't matter what region it is. Just a thought.

aNoNiM Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Wipe is the first Thursday of the Month. Not sure why it's so difficult that people need this. Buy a calendar now that they are 50%-75% off and circle the first Thursday of every month and add "Wipe". Edited January 1, 2022 by aNoNiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a calendar now that they are 50%-75% off and circle the first Thursday of every month and add "Wipe". As previously mentioned, servers do not wipe on the first Thursday of the month for AU. Because of timezones AU servers wipe Friday morning after the first Thursday of the month. But yeah, it's still not hard to remember when wipe is. Set a calender reminder in your smartphone people. I hate this time of each month, because I am so tired of answering that question over and over. That, and "is it a bp wipe also?" I will say that when we did have a CC on the map, I had a big ass sign up, with big ass writing, stating when the next wipe was (I have seen AU Scourge take this one step further and set up a security camera pointing at the sign). But I still get asked this question a hundred times a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 A quick note – on or around the 15th of each month an event will be created in the RustEZ Discord for the next monthly wipe. The event will automatically display the wipe date and time in your local time zone. In time, as we keep using this, players will know to check the Discord for wipe details. Hope that helps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rerolltoo Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 It is doable as when an individual player types the command to find out when wipe is you can write the code so that it can get the players date and time from the server based on their location and print it back to them in chat when the server will wipe for them. so it wont matter where they from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
