????Future Fixes & Improvements
Similarly to the last patch notes, we want to continue to give you some progress and information on what we are working on for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. As usual, please understand that there are priorities given to some topics over others, and some are harder to investigate and solve than others, so no timeframe can be given currently unless otherwise specified. That said, here are all the future fixes and improvements we are working on:- Ranked Reward Vehicle Players have mentioned that the ranked reward provides an unfair experience in TDUSC currently as it is not optimal. Though we do still have plans to improve the ranked and PvP experience in TDU SC, we also want to assure you we are moving away from a ‘competitive first’ aspect, and heading in the direction TDU is meant to be. We can confirm we have not only improved how the ranked vehicle works, but also vehicle distribution as a whole. While we will be providing more details on this in the dev diary slated before the launch of S4, we can assure you, that you do not need to complete ranked this season to obtain the Valour early in Season 4; and all players will be able to purchase the Aston Martin Valour at the launch of Season 4. We are excited to go more in depth on this in the future!
- Economy: Economy has been a big discussion in the community recently, and we are currently looking into the feedback players have been giving as well as the data we have. As we add more ways to earn money through things like missions, casino, and other things coming in Y2, we need to make sure we keep a balance, and you can progress the way you want, and earn money the way you want, regardless of the way you play. However, this is a very touchy subject, and it is not something we can fix in its entirety immediately, especially as the Casino will arrive next season as we cannot ruin the progression and make it too easy to earn money. We already have some ideas on ways to improve the balancing of not only money earned throughout all the races and missions in the game including the Crown Jewels, but also the progression of the game and the XP earned in both regular and clan reputation. We will discuss this further in the dev diary and provide more details on how we will be tackling this in future seasons releasing to make sure this topic is solved to the communities standard, and the TDU standard; which includes the topic of car selling, which we can also confirm will be seen in the future ahead of TDU SC, and we’ll focus on its delivery in the Dev Diary as well.
- Other Fixes and Improvements: We went over quite a few improvements and fixes in the last patch notes and if you haven’t seen those already, there are many fixes from that which we have solved in this patch, with more to come in the launch of Season 4. You can find the previous Patch Notes here!
