Popular Post RedStarRocket91 Posted October 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 As some of you may have already noticed, over the past few days we've launched a new set of images for our various Awards, courtesy of the very talented Self Destruct - whom I'd like to take the opportunity to thank publicly for his outstanding work! However, this isn't merely a much-needed upgrade to the aesthetic side of our Awards, but instead just one part of a much larger process which began in the increasingly prematurely-named Spring Update to overhaul the way in which we manage our Awards. I took your feedback on board, and so came up with a set of goals for the update, as listed below: To standardise the appearance of the various Awards, in terms of both size and style To give an explanation of how to earn each Award in a concise, approachable manner To make individual Awards feel more meaningful by reducing the overall number To make individual Awards relevant by removing outdated, redundant, and non-specific Awards To enable faster and more appropriate Awarding by defining specific criteria on how to earn each As part of this programme, we've identified around twenty Awards to receive visual updates and descriptions, from an original sixty or so: as we enter the end of this update process, the forty Awards which were not selected will be removed from the site. For those members who will be affected by the removal, we have introduced the new 'Inheritor' Award, which is a special, one-time consolation gift and cannot otherwise be obtained (although we will distribute it again should we remove any further Awards in the future). As far as I'm aware, we've managed to get this out to all affected members: however, if you discover that you've lost an Award without being compensated, please let us know in the Missing Award Thread and we'll rectify the situation as soon as possible! You can find the new list of obtainable Awards, as ever, on the Awards tab, along with their updated descriptions and visuals. We hope you'll enjoy the new Award system, and as ever, please let us know what you think! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose The Ace Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I do like the look of some of the new awards but I think there is a bit too few of them now, not like they were used a whole lot anyway so if you plan to implement awards more and make them more meaningful etc. Consider removing show awards thing that hides them and just the awards sheet as it used to be.

Connor Kenway Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm assuming Helping Hand isn't part of the new Awards so I guess I'm eligible for Inheritor? but its nice to see the awards getting a common design theme to them so its nice, pertty and organized good job SD! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Composite Armour Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 RIP Predator Tank award. Never knew how much it cost. Also nice work with the new awards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for Awards that users lost in the process. You, sir, still have your Helping Hand Award - Cooliest Drizzy RIP Predator Tank award. Never knew how much it cost. Also nice work with the new awards. We never figured out the cost but it was out of our budget. That one I can assure you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Couldn't help but notice that I seem to be missing a few awards....most noticable at first glance is "Grenade". Will I have the " Inheritor" award in place of it or any others that I am missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, anyone who's lost something as a result of the changes is entitled to an Inheritor Award - I've just added one to your profile now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I lost some too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I get that you guys got rid of some crappier awards like the Facebook and Twitter awards, but I lost my Biggles award... That was my MoM wish... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Intel Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Nice work SD. I get that you guys got rid of some crappier awards like the Facebook and Twitter awards, but I lost my Biggles award... That was my MoM wish... Sorry to hear that P34nut. If it makes you feel any better, many of us didn't even come up with a MoM wish. I guess the Inheritor award has taken its place. Don't worry, we won't forget you defeated Biggles. Edit: @ I also just noticed that I lost the 'Profilic Poster' award, issued to me by BZ before he left. It was only awarded once. I guess we have to let things go. At least I still have some of my first awards given by AD, I'd be almost disappointed to lose them too.
