[h2]PvE[/h2]
We would like to remind you that all the official PvE servers will have a scheduled wipe this Friday, August 5th. The wipe interval for the official PvE servers is 12 weeks, ideal for relaxed and creative gameplay.

[h2]PvP[/h2]
Official PvP servers now have a 2 weeks wipe interval and the next wipe is scheduled to Friday, August 12th (next week).
We have recently released a small patch that includes some changes to PvP but also changed the wipe interval from 1 week to 2 among other changes (see the patch notes). These changes are intended to provide plenty of time for end-game PvP battles, boss fights, and base raids.

[h2]Wipe time[/h2]
1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).
For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 8 AM by Central US (CDT, GMT-5 summer time)
• 3 PM by Central EU (CEDT, GMT+2 summer time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9)

=== CryoFall v1.33.1.15 (R33 Patch #1) ===

Official PvP server changes with this patch:
- Base shield duration is reduced from default 54 hours to 28 hours.
- The oil/Li deposit lifetime duration is reduced from default 4 days to 2 days.
- Longer wipes: Starting with the wipe this Friday (29th July) the official PvP servers will wipe every 2 weeks instead of every week.
The same changes are also coming to CryoSmall!

Patch notes: Changes:
- Double-clicking on the recipe icon in the manufacturer's recipes list will select the recipe.
- PvP: Floor is no longer damageable when the base is under shield protection. Please note: shield prevents damage ONLY to the: walls, doors, turrets, floor (but not farm plots); secure everything else with walls to prevent damage.
- Quest: Secure better water source — building a well will also satisfy the quest conditions.
- Updated .NET 6 Runtime to version 6.0.7.

New server rates:
- "[Resources] [PvP] Deposit lifetime duration" (configured in seconds) — defines the lifetime of oil/Li deposits (available only on PvP servers).
- "[PvP] Base S.H.I.E.L.D. protection duration" (configured in seconds) — defines the max duration of the shield protection.

Fixes:
- PvP: Fixed an issue when joining the server while you have a base under raided sometimes resulted in a broken UI.
- It was not possible to place farm plots over the charred ground (marks left after explosions).
- Copying world coordinates from the world map was not perfectly accurate.

We would like to inform you that all the official PvP servers have been wiped today as scheduled and awaiting for you to join in a fresh round of PvP battles!

This time Global PvP and other official PvP servers have a smaller map—the same map which was successfully used on the CryoSmall community server for the last several months ("Duality" map created by SavingPrivatePyle, see the image below). You will have more fights, without the need to travel far looking for an opponent.

The faction size limit has been reduced to 15 members max (the map is not too big to allow bases for large teams).

Also, the CryoSmall North America community server was discontinued due to a low online number. We hope players will focus on the remaining servers, which will help to boost their online population.

After this weekend, please join Official CryoFall Discord and provide your feedback in the #pvp channel. We will consider adjusting server settings to ensure better gameplay for the next wipe!

We would like to remind you that all the official servers will have a scheduled wipe this Friday, May 13th.

[h3]Official PvP servers[/h3]
As you may know, all official PvP servers currently have accelerated 5X rates and wipe every Friday to ensure a level playing field and offer a fresh economy with each new round. It's a major event that brings many players to compete with each other, starting from a common point. On these fast-paced 5X servers, you can focus on fights and raids non-stop which is the most fun aspect of the gameplay in PvP. Recovering after getting raided is also much easier.

[h3]Official PvE servers—now wiping every 12 weeks[/h3]
Likewise, all official PvE servers will also have their regular wipe on the same day. Unlike the PvP servers, however, PvE servers have their regular scheduled wipes with longer intervals for relaxed and creative gameplay. This time we are aiming for 12 weeks cycle instead, previously PvE servers had 6 weeks cycle duration. Feel free to join any of the official PvE servers for a fresh round of economic and technological competition and race to reach the highest faction score on any of the regional PvE servers.

[h3]Discontinued servers[/h3]
With this wipe, we will discontinue Asia PvP server in favor of other PvP servers.
Official South America servers are not discontinued, however, we had to change our hosting provider in São Paulo which may affect your ping and overall connection quality in a better or worst way depending on the international routing for your local ISP.
