Good day, fighters!

We shared information about how the game will be developing in 0.53 branch last week. Today we’ve prepared the first update from this branch, in which some of the new features have been introduced according to our plans.




As was said before, starting with version 0.53 a participating in the battles on Arena will be rewarded after match according to your efficiency during the battle. A new NPC, “Arena Master”, has been added to location “Tunnels”, who transfer you to Arena.



In order for the match to be recognized by the system as held, it requires 4 players in each team at least. Depending on the efficiency of your actions during the battle, you will receive an award, which will be sent via mail. All awards can be taken at every place where mailboxes are installed. As a reward, you can get not only useful resources but stimulators, paint and etc.



In this version, we’ve added few quests to Herman, which available to all characters regardless of faction. Also, new quests have been added to “Bulletin Board” in the location “Big Village”.

We’ve revised rewards for participating in some events. For example, you can be rewarded with rare resources for completing the event in Minaev’s mines. The battle mechanics with Big Cave Spider Boss has been redone, and reward has been changed as well. Prepare your backpacks :-)

A new event has been added at “Black Sunset camp” in which you have to protect the camp from a swarm of spiders. Moreover, a new event has been added to one of the villages not far away from Sonlechniy, in which you have to fight against bandits.

Now you can find a field with resources around the world, thus it is possible to get some resources not only in mines but on the surface as well.



We’ve added few teleports to both “Outskirts” parts and to “Big Village” locations. To use this teleport, you have to craft a special NDP-battery, which will be consumed according to the weight of your loot. Recipes for the craft of it might be accidentally found in any place around the world.

• Sound of “Thunder” rifle has been changed;
  
• Fixed a problem due to the shooting was happened only on client-side in some cases;
  
• Hits into arms or legs now deal more damage;
  
• Fixed a rare bug due to the reloading of some rifles;

Hello, fighters!

Today we would like to share with you information about our future plans. We introduced version 0.52 in December last year and we have been developing this branch all of this time.
With this version, we presented four new locations (Tunnels, Canyon, Exclusion Zone, Bomb Shelter), new weapons for entry and high-level to some classes. Also, we redesigned a damage system and changed the balance of the PvP. Mechanics of events and some tutorials were added as well.

We believe that the development of version 0.52 is completed and it is a time to move forward and we have started to develop branch 0.53 already!



In version 0.53, the Arena will get improvements. There will be added a new NPC, Arena Master, in the Tunnels, who will provide a choice on which Arena you are going to go. Transfers to Arena from Solnechniy (Solar City) and Black Sunset camp will be removed.

Since all of the craft in the game is mainly focused on comfortable participating in PVP, we understand that not all of the players find the crafting process enjoyable. That’s why we’ve decided to change the way for gathering of resources and made it more interesting.



Depending on your contribution to victory, you will receive boxes, which will contain some of the resources that might be useful for crafting. All boxes with goods will send you via post service after each round, and you will able to get them in any place where you can find the postbox. Both members of the winning and losing teams will receive the award. But it doesn’t mean that you able to get tons of resources for free, no, but at the same time we allow reward adjustments in the future.

In order to match was counted as held, four members in each team requires at least.



Starting from 0.53 branch, we are going to develop in-game achievements. These achievements will be different from those available on Steam, and its unlocking will be rewarded.

The development of own achievements and statistics brings us new opportunities for new game mechanics and diverse daily tasks, which will involve the players to complete them.



We are going to revise the resource mining in the game. Now fields of some of the resources can be found not only in the mines but also on the surface, where it is appropriate. Moreover, some kind of resources might be rewarded for daily quests and for participating in the battles on Arena so on.



The “Radio” anomalies are widely used by players for fast traveling around the locations, but as since our world becomes bigger, there are real teleports will be added into the game, which will allow you to move between some locations in safety!





During the development of 0.53 branch, we are going to add one or even two new locations. One of these locations will be called as “Testing ground of SO-17 laboratory”. With this location, a definitely new kind of enemies will appear, and the maximum level cap will be extended up to 40th levels. New recipes for the craft will be added as well.



“Testing ground of SO-17 laboratory” will be close to Canyons by its size and will be a very dangerous place with its own story and features.





As a part of the development of 0.53 branch, we are also going to focus on the storyline. We plan to add both the main quests, which are mainly will be available to faction players and various side quests. Completing these quests, you will get new information about the craft, about the “Laboratory SO-17” where Viktor Petrovich worked before, and also probably you will get some information about new NDP technologies. Besides, there are more different events will be added, which will positively affect the game world.



A new monster-boss, which you are waiting for, will be added in the tunnels with the new level cap as well. Moreover, some bosses like “Big Spider”, will get new game mechanics.

Some of these changes already will be introduced soon!

That’s all for today, stay tuned!

Cheers, WTLOnline Team.
