Hello
Splinterlands
Friends, the new update of Splinterlands has gone live. I will tell you this update in simple language through this post, what is said in this update. The focus of this update is to make avatars better than before, fix UI bugs, and make the game run even smoother. This is how the update has been given here. Here I will explain to you the update of this game with an example.
What improvements can be made in Avatar and Profile?
Earlier old avatars were visible on proposal or voting screens but now you will see new avatars everywhere. If you used to vote on any governance proposal then you would see the old design but now you will see the updated avatar icon. This is a very good update. You will see a new avatar in the proposal screen.
Luckiest Longshot Leaderboard Update
Players' avatars were not visible properly in the leaderboard. At some places the old avatar was visible and at some places there was a mismatch. This problem was occurring earlier but now the new avatar of every player will be visible correctly in the Luckiest Longshot leaderboard. Whatever rank you are on, you will also see your name, score and new avatar. This simply means that the leaderboard will appear clean, fair and visually clear.
Badge Outline Bug Fix
The outline or border, around the badges was not displaying correctly. Sometimes its size would increase and other times it would blend in with the background. I even saw instances where it was broken in the middle so there were many problems. This bug prevented the badges from being clearly visible. They could not be seen properly and it was difficult to identify specific badges. The update has fixed this issue the border is now clean and smooth and the badges are clearly visible against both light and dark backgrounds. You will be happy to know that identifying player achievements will now be much easier.
Tournament Avatar Issue Fix
Earlier there were some issues in the tournament like players' avatars were not visible properly in the tournament. For example, old avatar was visible, wrong player's avatar was missing at some places due to which the problem was that there was confusion in the tournament list, on the other hand it was becoming difficult to identify the player. Now what you will see changed here is Player name-avatar-position. All three will appear correctly. This problem has been solved here. This is the right update for me. You must tell me in the comments how you liked this update. For example, the latest avatar with the name Nexo0702 will be properly visible on the Tournament match screen. Due to which player identification can be good.
Human Earrings and Elf Outfit Fix
Human avatars
Earrings were not visible in the correct position in human avatars. Meaning that her positions, which were slightly away from the ears, seemed to be hanging in the air. That means the placement of the earring was wrong, it was not aligning properly with the ear model of the avatar. For example the head of the avatar could move but the earrings did not move with the ears which was a big problem for the human avatar. What changed here - the earrings will appear directly attached to the ears and will move naturally even when the head moves. Due to which the human avatar will be set properly.
Elf avatars
Elf avatars, the outfit was not fitting properly and appeared to be overlapping or cut with the body. The problem with this was that the fun of customizing the avatar was spoiled, which was not good. Here you will see a good change - the avatar's outfit will align perfectly with the body. There will be no clipping or visual glitch here. You can also say that character customization will look better than before. I also liked this update because if the customization is not correct then the avatar will not look correct.
Profile Title Default Issue Fix
Here friends the problem was that the player changed his profile title but the system is still showing the default title. Many times it used to happen that after refreshing the page the title would go back to default. Due to this, players had to face the problem that the player is custom title did not appear applied. There was confusion here whether the title was saved or not. Here is what changed in the update - Profile title will now save correctly. One thing to remember here is that the default title will be visible only when the player has not selected any title. Even if you reload the page now the title will not change. This is also the right update that Splinterlands players want so that they do not face any problems.
How has the game experience improved? ( UI & Gameplay Fixes )
Title Bonus Text Cleared
Earlier, extra bonus text was visible in the profile or leaderboard titles of some players which used to confuse us. This text was like special or glitch text, here it looked like confusing. Extra unintended bonus text has been removed. Now the player will see the same text which he has set, now no one will be confused.
Security Keys Message (Without Spellbook Players)
The problem here was that there are some security messages in the game which are visible to the players. For players who do not keep the Spellbook, messages were not delivered properly. Confused messages were being generated here. Here you have fixed this problem where security messages will now appear correctly for all players. Especially for those players who do not keep a Spellbook. A nice update for players who don't keep a Spellbook.
Campaign Chapter 13 – Mobile Performance Boost
Here, when playing Campaign Chapter 13, the game was running slow on mobile devices or low-quality animations were being used by default. It can also be said that due to heavy animations the game was not running smoothly or the battery was being used more. This update is also very good - the mobile performance has been improved for those who were playing on mobile. Chapter 13 is now faster and smoother. Here the battery and memory usage in the mobile has been optimized. This is a good update for those who operate games from mobile.
Capacity Flux UI Fix
The game had a Capacity Flux feature. There was a display problem in the UI. For example, the value was not updated properly. The numbers were showing wrongly. The most important problem was that sometimes the UI seemed misleading due to glitches. The system update that came here is that -Capacity Flux indicator will now be visible correctly. The value is updated as soon as it is updated and the UI also reflects it instantly. Here the player will be able to understand how much capacity is left or has been used. The player will get all the information correct.
Negative Mana Bug Fix
This problem had happened with me, meaning what used to happen here was that sometimes due to a bug the mana value would go below 0. That means negative mana was visible. Here this issue has been solved which means now Minimum mana = 0 will be maintained. The player will always see the valid mana value. This update is good, there was a negative impact in the game which has now been fixed.
What improvement happened in badges? [Badges & Display Fixes]
Multiple Badge Display Issues Fix
Players have multiple badges in the game. There was a problem in showing it in the UI here. For example, some badges overlapped or appeared in the wrong order. Here in the new update - Multiple badges will now be displayed correctly. Profile and leaderboard will now look clean.
Shard Holder Badge Update
This update is very informative.
Shard Holder Badge is a special badge that players get for holding shards. So the problem here was that the design looked old and did not reflect the Badge level status properly. What has been improved here is that the design of the badge has been improved. Shard holding status will now appear correct.
You can unequip unqualified badges
Players had some badges. Such as level, achievement, shard holding are some of the badges. What happened earlier was that if you wore a badge Even if you don't meet the criteria, the badge was still on, but now players can easily unequip unqualified badges. Here if the badge requirements are not fulfilled, the player can remove that badge.
Conclusion
Some people may not like some of the updates in this update, but this update has made every movement of Splinterlands very smooth. This update is very special for me. Here, all the updates regarding mobile performance or avatar, UI, widgets are very good and meaning full. I hope every Splinterlands player enjoys this update.
