Trading System - Usability Update

News
1

In between some of the other developments I decided to look over what was built from previous updates. The DTP is our oldest system around and the interface is certainly showing its age. I’ve decided to use some of the work previously intended for the replacement system and instead greatly reduce the scope down to a QoL update. This means no big new features and no requiring any resets. Instead it will just remove the rough edges of the existing dated system and improve overall usability.

Here’s an outline of what’s being done:

Updated UI with Dark Mode

Removal of System Banks

The system banks have outlived their usefulness and no longer serve a purpose, as a result these will be entirely removed as a concept.

Clearer per day DP gain limits

Your personal daily limit will be now be more prominently visible so you can see how much you have left to earn for the day.

Login Integration

The login page will now be login.dark-gaming.com like our other services.

Removal of Shop

The shop for now will be retired and removed. It is intended that it would be able to be replaced by something more like this one from a prior post, with items that are not obtainable from anywhere else:

Removing XP Efficiency

The XP Efficiency bar will be removed. Same with the shop, this may be re-implemented as XP Boost as shown here in future:

Sellable Items

Items can be sold to the system for small amounts of DP:

The system will not buy all types and rarities at once, instead there is a rotation and it will be up to the user whether they wait to sell or try to sell them to someone else.

Limit Accidental Deletions

Confirmation prompts will be added to all permanent actions, such as deleting items:

Removal of Suggest Page

This page isn’t used anymore and there is likely enough items as it is in the system.

Fixes to Certain Names being Buggy

In the current system some people’s names interfered a bit with the ability for others to see their inventory, this is being addressed.

Behind the Scenes changes

On top of the visible ones above, there will also be a handful of changes to how it operates under the hood.

I just wanted to ask if these features/additions are already either implemented, planned, or just an april fools joke.
Since i haven’t noticed anything in DTP, although maybe i’m using an outdated link.

Also sorry for necroposting ):

Some of these have already been implemented, such as the removal of XP Efficiency.
Some of these are being planned and to some extent worked on, such as dark mode.

In the future if you are concerned about making a necropost, you can always just ask a staff member on the Discord!

Edit: Changed wording a lil bit to clarify what I meant. Contacting staff on Discord is an option you CAN make if you are concerned about something like a necropost.

This is still relevant today and the topic isn’t even that old in terms of news. I don’t see your question as a necropost. This post is the latest news post for the DTP so absolutely the best place to ask.

I also disagree that you should use Discord for these questions. You absolute can, but other people might be looking at this post thinking the same thing, so its better to have it written here, where people on the forum looking at the post you are talking about can see it and as public info, than on discord where only people paying attention and on our Discord will see it. And I rarely keep up with questions on there, so this response would just not exist.

Everything in the OP is what it says. All images are real and from the actual update. It’s just not currently finished and released, because more than what is shown in the OP is that all existing functionality needs to be replicated on the new interface, so we have a few things that aren’t done but must be finished to properly replace the old interface.

At any rate I would expect the next Terraria update to come out before this, and that update will delay everything we are working on anyway.
