Today we’ve published an update on the servers side, in which the loot system has been completely redesigned and the bug with fast discharging of MRP-1, and MHP-1 was fixed.
The previous loot system had its own disadvantages. In particular, the old system didn’t stimulate players for hunting on monsters together, because the loot goes to the first one who first ransacks the monster. That’s why players prefer to farm in solo. Or there are conflicts like “These spiders are mine. I came here first!”. And, instead of union players got disagreements.
The new loot system
The new loot system is designed to minimize the problems mentioned above. Now each player who took part in killing a monster, provided that the player has dealt a sufficient amount of damage, loot is calculated INDIVIDUALLY.
Thus, if a group of several players kills one monster, everyone can come up and ransack it, getting their INDIVIDUAL LOOT. For ordinary monsters, the required minimum damage dealt for looting is 20%, and for some bosses - only 10%.
Simply put, now two players can kill one spider together, spend half the amount of consumables, and each of them will get personal loot from this spider, adjusted for the number of participants. At the same time, we made it a bit more profitable to farm together than to do it alone. For example, if you kill 20 spiders together and put all the loot in one storage, then the total base cost of this loot will be slightly higher than if only one player killed these 20 spiders.
As a result, the game will now encourage the joint killing of monsters (everyone will get the loot), problems with a lack of "spots" are solved, and the collective gameplay becomes a bit more profitable than playing alone ("fewer costs", "a little bit more loot", "play together now it is not only more interesting, but also more profitable ”).
We admit that the new system may not be ideal for all types of monsters: somewhere it may still be more profitable "solo farming", but somewhere on the contrary - farming in a group will become much more profitable. We will monitor the situation and, if necessary, make adjustments.
The changes only affected the server code. No client update required.
That's all, have a nice day everyone!

Update 0.55 is ready for download!
Hello, fighters!
Today we’ve released update 0.55 with which we’ve begun a new cycle of changes and updates of Will To Live universe. This update includes the new location “The Coast”, new events and quests! But first things first! 😎
A new location, monsters, and event
“The Coast” location is a new location that targeted on PvE-content. This location is available to players who reached the 30th level and contains new events and quests, and the content of this location is targeted on players with 35-levels and higher.
For example, players have to help locals repel attacks of the monsters in the vicinity of the Tower in order to maintain life in this settlement. In return, as a reward, locals will offer various tasks, trade, usage of warehouses, and give you a possibility for the craft.
Also, it is possible to meet not only new monsters like “Lurker” on this location but already familiar monsters with completely reworked behavior and improved attack skills as well.
With the new location, we’ve increased a level cap: now you can gain your character up to the 45th level. In addition to new quests on “The Coast” location, we’ve added a few introductory quests to old locations: to Miron, Claudia, Tihon, and the new life was appeared in the “Maze” location: the listener.
Fishing
The new game mechanic was added - fishing. Thankful to fishing, new recipes of food appeared. In addition, fish can be cut with a knife to obtain rarer and more desirable components that can be used in new recipes for painting weapons.
New weapon and paint
MSR-12 - a new high-level high-precision semi-auto rifle with a 10-round magazine capacity is a good successor to the “Pioneer” rifle. Available for 40th level characters.
Gunsmiths have a new weapon paint that features a more durable polymer coating with “right” camouflage patterns and good tactical colors. You can get the paint components you need from fishing. Later, balloons with this paint will be added to the assortment of the in-game store. You can also create balloons of new paint for weapons yourself.
New server
Together with update 0.55, we have prepared a new server - MSK-6. Since we observe a serious workload on the MSK-2 No-PK server (sometimes more than 400 people play on this server in the peak), we decided to open a new No-PK server.
We will be glad to see fans of a comfortable game on the new server!
Engineers
In this version, the engineers got new equipment at their disposal: healing grenades. These grenades heal characters in the designated area very quickly, increasing the ability of the Engineer as a support class. There have also been minor cosmetic changes in the interface during mines usage, and the i-HR has been improved.
Now i-HR heals much more efficiently, the range of i-HR has been increased, and additional experience is credited when the supporting with healing during a kill;
Added healing grenades. Available from all merchants for engineers from level 13;

Easy Anti-cheat integration
Good morning, fighters! 🤠
We have great news! Today we have released a version of the game with Easy Anti-Cheat integrated. Thus, the protection of our game from unscrupulous players has been improved, and protection against such kind of players will be even more effective 😎.

Update 0.54.8 [hotfix]
Good day, fighters!
Today we’ve published a small update in which stability of the connection to servers has been improved. Also, we’ve, added few in-game achievements, and made some changes in the damage system. When we made weapons unlinked to classes, we’ve received a lot of feedback from our community about that some classes became very universal, and some players even asked us to return weapon link to classes.
What was changed?
Now, when characters use the non-class weapons, the range of the possible minimum and maximum damage will be reduced [for example, now it is possible to deal less damage than specified in specifications even with full penetration of the target]. Also, when a character uses a weapon of his class, the range of theoretical minimum possible damage increases as well. Thus, the usage of the weapon of your class gives more advantages now, than a non-class weapon.
Servers have been stopped for the update, please update the client of the game.

Changes in the gathering rules of NDP-Crystals
Good afternoon, fighters!
Today we released a small patch in which changes were made to the “Maze” location. As you know, among our community there are people who occupy the most favorable points for the spawn of NDP crystals and literally take all these crystals using alarm-clock. This prevents players from collecting crystals in a normal way. Therefore, now, when the character takes the crystal or stones at one of these points, he will be added to the "blacklist", which will not allow him to get crystals at this point for some time. Since there are more than 580 crystals and stones spawn points in the Maze, we are convinced that for players collecting crystals “naturally”, these changes will only have a positive effect. Also, do not forget that crystals can be obtained in the Exclusion zone, as well as for the event in Sosnovka.
