As far as I am aware the developers still do not plan to do that, and that has been stated on the Steam store page for the game since early access started, "It’s important to keep in mind that we will continue to do full progress wipes during Early Access but we will always give our community as much notice as we can beforehand. Our long-term goal is to not have to do any wipes at all, gear or full progress, once we come out of Early Access and into 1.0 launch.”

I have been here through every progress wipe and my experience with it is that it doesn't make a difference for more than a day or two. The idea behind wiping progress in most games is to "level the playing field" but the way this game's progression systems are set up, how easy it is to find better gear, and how combat is balanced wipes don't really do that in Marauders.

I believe that full progress wipes in this game actually hurt the more casual players and the newer players because they don't make progress anywhere near as quickly as veteran players do. Veteran players bounce back from a full wipe in a few days, and sometimes in just a few hours, while inexperienced and casual players might need a week or two in order to get back to where they were pre-wipe.

Quite a few players also dislike the wipes and aren't playing the game until the wipes stop.
