Dev Blog: Looking Ahead to Update v0.8
Hey survivors,
We wanted to share a real update on where things are heading next. Work on version 0.8 is in full swing, and honestly, this one feels special. A lot of what is coming is inspired directly by your feedback and by the way you actually play the game.
Today we want to talk about one of the biggest changes coming soon and tease something even bigger right after.
Dynamic Trading Is Coming
In update v0.8 we are introducing a completely new Dynamic Trading system.
Every 30 minutes, all traders across the wasteland will refresh and restock their offers. On top of that, every single item at every trader will get its own randomly generated time window. Some items might be available for only 5 minutes, others for 10 or 20 minutes. When that time runs out, the offer is gone.
This applies to all items, not just special ones. The trading world will constantly shift and evolve.
Through the Bazaar Intel window, you will be able to see every trader you have already discovered and their current inventory. This view updates live. When a time window ends, the item disappears immediately from both the trader and the Bazaar Intel.
This completely changes how trading works.
You can start planning routes across the map, calculating if you can reach a trader in time for a deal that is worth the risk. Maybe you will need your fastest upgraded vehicle to make it before the timer runs out. Maybe you decide it is not worth it. Those decisions are now part of the gameplay.
Trading will no longer be static. It will be tense, strategic, and sometimes chaotic. And honestly, we cannot wait to see what you do with it.
OGD Capital City Is Coming
Alongside Dynamic Trading, version 0.8 will also introduce a brand new major location.
The OGD Faction Capital City.
This will be a high security stronghold where you can find top tier OGD traders, take on special faction quests, and dive deeper into the OGD storyline. It is a key location for the future of the world and one we are extremely excited about.
We will reveal much more about this city in the next Dev Blog. For now, we are sharing a few teaser screenshots to give you a first taste.
New Official Server for Asia
We are also proud to announce that we are lighting up a brand new official server for Asia (Big thanks goes to our partner 4NETPLAYERS.COM). Players from this amazing part of the world can now enjoy the game together on an official server with better latency and smoother performance.
The server is hosted in Hong Kong, our beloved city from all those legendary 80s and 90s martial arts movies. Bloodsport, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Bolo Yeung, Jean-Claude Van Damme. You know the vibe. Childhood heroes, timeless action. This is our small tribute.
Thank You
We want to say this clearly and honestly.
Thank you.
Thank you for playing, for giving feedback, for sticking with us, and for helping this game grow every single day. The community around Plains of Pain is becoming something truly special, and building this world together with you is an amazing experience for us.
We are excited. We are fully committed. And we are just getting started.
And remember this is just the beginning
