Hey Folks -
We wanted to give a quick update on where we're at after our extended downtime:
We are in the process of finalizing a number of adjustments to TDN before coming back online. One of the areas we continue to want to make improvements on is the over-reliance on active DMs to keep the server narrative afloat, and we expect that by the time we're back online we'll have made a number of improvements to that end. Additionally we are prepping all professions to be ready when we're back online as well as improving loot availability and addressing a number of design issues that previously existed. Tethir Thoroughfare has seen a decent overhaul to reduce the amount of load that is put on players when loading in or engaging with that zone.
On the art side, we've got a number of improvements to character visual assets, including one that should give a significant performance boost in-game. Additionally, nearly all textures on core tilesets have seen a massive upgrade in quality.
We recognize a long downtime wasn't and isn't ideal, and we appreciate everyone's patience while we get TDN back online. We'll give everyone 1 week notice ahead of TDN's return (and a ping in Discord).
ICYMI - Check the #screenshots channel in Discord for some great examples of texture updates in-game.
Thank you,
TDN Team
