Steam Development Update 2
Progress update
Hi there!
This week we moved the servers to their new home in France, it went pretty smoothly and is one of steps we had planned for Steam.
The new server should improve the ping for most players especially our players on the other side of the Atlantic.
Work this week has gone into improving the new starting city Morin Khur. Several meshes have been updated and textures have been re-made with higher resolutions.
The improvements to how the UI saves its content have been almost finished meaning that it should now correctly save and load every time you start the game. Hopefully this fixes the problems some people had with the UI resetting.
We have also built a new hint system that tries to guess what a player is doing and give small tips on the screen. For example if someone is just spamming the left mouse button while not in combat mode he/she will be told to press “X” to draw you weapon.
The queueing system has also been implemented on the login server. We are not sure that we have to use it but it’s a good tool if lots of people come to the game via Steam.
On top of this we have done the usual balance updates and added more content to the world.
All of this is currently being tested and will be patched hopefully next week.
