HWS RE 2 Info

Dear HWS Community

after a nasty Covid 40° C fever session I’m back and started 2 new HWS test servers requested by you:

HWS RE 2 EU and HWS RE 2 NA.

Keep in mind that those are test servers for the Reforged Eden 2 Beta!

There are no HWS features running on them (OCD, EGS Recycle, etc.) and the intend is that you can test it freely with your friends, before we officially switch from HWS RE 1 to HWS RE 2.
Whatever progression you have on that server will stay on that server and will not be transferred over or anything.
Last but not least, support is limited on those servers or rather let’s say not available at all for now (no EAH running on them).

So, many asked how the process of the switch to RE 2 will look like and the current summary from the Discord RE 2 feedback channel is this:

  • We run RE 1 this season until the end and then switch in August to RE 2, if no showstopper is coming up and no major exploits are available (please let me know if you find any)
  • You all will keep your OCD levels and OCD stack sizes you farmed and collected over the years!
  • You all will keep your OAM levels but not the content inside of them
  • You can as always decide to keep your EB Level and part of your EB Credits as before
  • Every item you have currently in your OCD, except the Alien Core, will be wiped and everyone starts fresh.

This is a once-in-a-time action and thus a new experience for all of us. Not something I look forward to myself, but under the given circumstances of Reforged Eden 2 and how it changed, there is this cut we must do to adapt to the new stuff.
However, apart from the mentioned things that do carry over (for example you can convert your items into credits and start with them into RE 2), I will create a special starter package to all players, that played >= 50 hours in the current season and >= 100 hours overall.
Apart from items, you get HWS DNA and HWS Ingots as a one-time compensation.
Additionally, all of you that played this season will get a new Discord Role / Icon and new ingame Scifi Helmet. Wearing this helmet, will give you in certain dialogues alternative options. Nothing OP but still a nice way of appreciation for your loyal time until then.
TL;DR: The more you keep playing this season, the better your start will be in the new HWS RE 2 server.

Overall I hope the transition will be smooth and we all can go through it together in a good way.
We will try our best to make it smooth, update our HWS content to fit in RE 2 and grow from there on further.
If you have questions feel free to write me or in the feedback channel I linked above.
Thank you.

Really looking forward to RE 2, not that I’ve played so much RE to be considered a vet, I’m merely a novice, greener than spring grass in most cases but still new is new.
I would like to petition for free cookies on the new RE 2 season start and maybe a new starter ship bp? Pwetty pwease?
I just realy hope I find some time to play though…

Will HWS Armor considered for transfer over :grinning:

Nope. The only ingame item (inside the OCD) that transfers over is the alien core.

Hello. is there an exact start date for RE2 servers?

Hey, not currently, no. For now, the plan is mid-August around the 17th.

I’ve recently joined this server because RE 1 is no longer being worked on.
Questions:

  1. Is this server going to be updated with the latest RE 2 updates as the happen?
  2. When you do decide to transfer your RE 1 servers to RE 2, will this current “Beta” server stay up as an altenrate server or will it be the new “Host” for the old servers?

Thank in advance,

I slightly suspect you’re a bot, but I’ll bite.

Yes, we switch from RE 1 to RE 2 on the 10th (assuming all goes as planned), which will include a full server wipe during the switch.
The HWS 2 Test Server will shut down when we switch to RE 2.

Deleted my second post because I mis-read your answer. Overall, you answered my questions in your second paragraph in that the HWS 2 test server will be wiped.

Thank you for the info :slight_smile:

No worries :slightly_smiling_face:

To be a bit more clear: the current RE 1 servers will be replaced by the new RE 2 servers, and then the current RE 2 test just shuts down forever.
