Hello, fighters!
Since upcoming version 0.53.6, the west part of the “Solnechniy Outskirts” will be split into three parts.
The reason for this split is connected to poor performance on the servers’ side with a large concentration of low-level players. Though all sorts of actions taken by us, we didn’t manage to reach an acceptable performance level on client and servers side because of game engine features.
Location splitting will entail a series of the following changes. In particular, it will cause appearing additional safe-zones and transitions between locations. It will make survival experience to low-level players easier because it will reduce the distance between safe-zones and amount of safe-zones will grow up as well. In addition, the “Radio” anomaly which might be used for fast traveling by “Strange Map” routes, will transfer character even between locations.
Moreover, the splitting of the west part of “Outskirts locations” will let us fill them with new game objects. Locations will be smaller, that’s why we can add new objects without performance loses in the future.
ATTENTION: All stashes placed in Zone 2 and Zone 3 (look the picture above) will be removed from the game. Please, take away your stashes in these zones to prevent loot loses.
