Does WARDOGS Playtest Progress Carry Over?

Keep the scope of the FAQ intact

The current pinned FAQ still names early pre-alpha cash specifically. It does not provide a complete migration ledger for XP, cosmetics, role levels or later test balances. Avoid treating one sentence about an early test as proof that every future season wipes everything.

For current access, WARDOGS has been in Steam Early Access since September 10. The playtest page explains why old invitation instructions are no longer the main access path.

Season 1 progression is a different issue

The September 9 changelog slows the level 10–20 progression range, changes published XP bands, and moves several unlocks. It says seasonal curves and item order can differ. A changed curve is not itself evidence of a mandatory account wipe.

Check progression and the unlock tracker for documented Season 1 changes. Neither tool invents a complete future-season reset policy.

Missing progress: gather the right evidence

Record the Steam account, current build, the affected progression track and when the balance changed. Separate an old test-client balance from a released-game balance. Do not post passwords, recovery codes or payment details in public.

The enforcement policy separately allows removal or reset of gains obtained through exploits. That does not mean every missing balance is an enforcement action. Use a developer-directed support channel for account-specific questions; this site cannot restore progress.

What changed

The page now separates historical pre-alpha carryover, current Season 1 progression changes and enforcement actions. No unsupported general wipe schedule has been added.
