2x Drop and Tame Rate ending 7/19 & Community Update
Hello Adventurers!
Don't forget - Double rate and double tame rate on Official is ending this Friday 7/19. Get that last minute grinding and farming in now!
What's going on?
As we mentioned in our last Community Update, the development team's main focus is currently on: Ice Dragon Rework, Magic/Elemental Rework, Server Transfers, Code Update. More details will follow when available.
In regards to the changes within our community team - we are still waiting for a few more pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. Meanwhile, we've been making internal changes to our workflow and processes. We'd like to apologize again for any lack of engagement during this time. We thank you for your patience as we continue to place a new foundation.
Console?
There have been questions about whether Dark and Light would be released on other platforms. Porting to Consoles is an entire endeavor on its own. Console development is a different process and presents its own unique challenges. If you would like to understand a little more about porting to consoles, please refer to this article here:
That being said, the development team would like to focus their efforts on bringing Dark and Light to full release before we consider other platforms
Development Kit
We're happy to see that there is continued interest in the DnL Dev Kit. We loved seeing how our modding community was able to add to the world we created. However, as we are pushing towards full release, it is unlikely that the Dev Kit will be updated before then. Thank you for your understanding!
Decay/Timer bug
Thank you for all of your bug reports! The issue with the decay and timers has been particularly of note. The development team is aware of this issue and are actively working on resolving this bug among others.
