1.2.1 Improved Game UI
Dynamic Hints Introducing a brand new system for the ability hints you see when you play a duel. The hints, telling you what to do are now much more centered and in the middle of the screen to be more accessible. They change position and scale dynamically to fill up the empty space and leave room for you to still see, whats going on. Readability Improvements We cut all UI corners we could to make Texts bigger and more readable across the board. New Tooltip Behaviour and visuals Tooltips are now noticably larger, nicer (animations, wuhh!) and appear sooner when hovering. In a lot of places, additional visuals were added to tell you what you are hovering. New Places for game status We introduced clear hints for win conditions next to the player profiles, so you can track better who is winning or what you have to do to achieve hard-earned victory! Board status We moved board status visuals to their own tab on the left side of the board. Now more ugly, unreadable status tags! They are now big, bright and colorful, as they should be, so you always know, if it is "Peace" or not... Have fun with these changes, and good luck in your next duel!Read full article on Community Announcements (trickbeet552)Patch NotesOfficial
