What to expect in the near future..

Unread post by tfunke »

Just wanted to be a little more transparent and let players know what's coming down the line shortly from yours truly. I know I promised you some of this content a few months ago and I apologize, but we the devs have been busy behind the scenes with bug fixes for the most part.
Rest assured we haven't forgotten and hopefully the following will be in game shortly for your enjoyment.

New Content (areas)
Durlag's level 3 and 4
Avernus areas (+epic shop -may as well let the cat out of the bag on this now, in case players want to start saving) -please do not bother asking what is in the shop or to request something, as I already put out that request months ago here: http://bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=52419


Updated old areas to be fresh and new (including some re-heightmapping, retexturing, rewalkmeshed, re-tree'd and maybe some fresh spawns).
* Tradeway south of BG Farmlands
* Lion's Way
* Tradeway south of Beregost
* Graypeak Mountainside (big change, less linear).
* Graypeak Firegiant Camp
(NEW AREA)* BG, Regional Interiors (various cave/mine entrances around the server connected to one interior with individual interiors sections for RP) -19 connections in total.
* Cloudpeak Foothills
* Cloudpeak Mountainpass
* Cloudpeak Mountain Top

Oh and most importantly, I think Corm Orp might be fixed finally! That bug that happens with your portrait? Only way to know is if it ever happens again to someone. The only reason I suspect it may be fixed, as I was able to stop the area from crashing constantly in the toolset. I figure there may be a correlation between the two.

Also forgot to add forest of wyrms to the list above. That's been changed quite a bit also.

Hey Pimple, I'll drop in soon when I get free time from uni to have a run through avernus with you :)

I'm going to highjack your post and throw my area in the mix as well.. I'm giving the FAI interior a nice overhaul along with the exterior and will hopefully be less laggy, especially for DM's that like to Kill I mean run events there :P

They are being tested on server2. Once they are ready with no issues, they will be moved to Server1. I must say, it worths the wait

Edit: Even lion's way that never interested me in the past, looks so much better.

Updated old areas to be fresh and new (including some re-heightmapping, retexturing, rewalkmeshed, re-tree'd and maybe some fresh spawns).
* Tradeway south of BG Farmlands
* Lion's Way
* Tradeway south of Beregost
I hope they become more challenging again; especially now we have low levels with epic gear.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it
