Anybody else notice that Dave is missing?

Where is our beloved Thunderlord, High Overseer Dave? Why does his giraffe-like stature no longer grace the horizon during a temporal storm? Are we no longer worthy of his presence?

Did you turn your view distance down? I see him just fine. Of course, the last temporal storm I sat through was while I was in the middle of the ocean, so I had a 360 degree unobstructed view.

Come to think of it, I noticed something interesting recently. Maybe it was just my imagination, but it seemed to me that the closer I was geographically to the resonance archives, the closer Dave appeared to be to me during temporal storms.did you maybe move somewhere far away from the RA recently?

Unless something has changed, the player's position in the world shouldn't affect whether or not Dave appears. Outside of having a high enough render distance, the player just needs to be either at incredibly low stability, or otherwise be in a medium-heavy temporal storm.

Typically I don't see Dave either, as I usually have my render turned down a little lower than what's required for him to show up, but I did turn it up during a heavy storm the other day to see if I could spot him and...nothing. Which was very odd.

Not sure what's going on over there, but Dave says hi from 1.21.5 at a view distance of 576.

Maybe it's as @Teh Pizza Lady suggested. They and @LadyWYT are just unworthy of beholding him. We remain the privileged few.

I turned it up to 1024 view distance and stood in a temporal rift. He glared at me. I saw it.

never again

I swear, Dave's following me...
