April 2021 Quick Update

Greetings to all our wonderful patrons! 

Team TDU World has been working hard behind the scenes when we can this month, so let's run through a few new things! 

First off, Welcome to a few of our new patrons this month! If you haven't already done so, you can link up your Patreon Account with Discord, and ensure you have joined the TDU World Community! In doing so, you unlock access to "The Quiet Zone" and exclusive ranks, this gives you direct chat with the TDU World Team, as well as a place to chat to fellow patrons, and listen to music with our friendly bot.

Merch is now starting to roll out for our Super and Ultra Fans, so if you've been around for 3 months please ensure that your Patreon Account details are correct for Patreon to send across your sticker, and T-Shirt if you're an Ultra fan.

Patrons are also allowed access to the TDU World Beta, please drop a message in The Quiet Done Team chat if you want access! 

Let's get on to the goodies shall we? 

Now Live in Beta:
Basic Stats: Money, Owned Vehicles and Owned Cars stats now sync when you first launch the game. Eventually we will expand this to Level and XP too and in real time.

Commerce/DLC: Partially working. All the behind the scenes stuff is ready to go, we're just ironing out one small bug which is stopping the DLC for unlocking if you "purchase" it (Reminder: TDU World will allow purchase of all DLC for FREE, however you still need to virtually "purchase" it in game to unlock it)

Improved Moderation: Over time, this system will now grow alongside the community. We will be picking new staff members for a "Moderator" role which may include both the Discord Moderation and In-Game Moderation. 

Things currently being worked on: 

Lobbying 2.0: We're still aware that Free-Roam and Challenges/Police Chases do not work properly and are unstable. There is a couple of issues here mainly related to how people set up the game and their own network settings, but also with our primary server functions. 

To attempt to combat these issues, we are completely rewriting the Lobbying Service for TDU World, from scratch and will be releasing "Lobbying 2.0" with the next release. 

The next release to Beta will contain the following:

Lobbying 2.0 (Brand new Lobbying, more reliable and quicker to find sessions)

More Stats (XP Sync, more stats in real time + working with Website)

Friends (Add/Remove Friends, + the ability to join anyone recent or in friends list!)

Unfortunately, due to the small size of the team and how busy we are with work and our lives, we can't promise a time frame, however we're hoping to have another major release sometime in May. The above release to Beta will be sooner, and once we know for sure everything is working as expected, Release to Public will follow within 2 weeks.
