Does Anyone seriously think that the new Game Mastery & Active Skill Effects look better this way than before?
also, why doesnt CK make any threads of the new updates. and/or ask what people think of the new changes. (except maybe from couple people who are 24/7 in the chat)

Active Skills don't look that good, but Game mastery isn't that different and is more compact, as the only significant change in appearance was the bars getting shorter, it doesn't make much of a difference though, the bars don't need to be super long. The only thing I would like to point out about these is the color choice on bars, they probably should be the same as it was before update.

As for second question, it has to be answered by himself xD

Oops, yeah, the colour was a bug. Didn't even notice. I like the new mastery layout. The skills table needs a bit of refinement though.

I also love the idea of badges, but I'm still not happy about the execution of them. I don't know whether to merge the idea with medals, and just award medals. The only issue there, however, is that when we have custom medal making added to the WB, the prestige of the official stuff will be watered down.

What I want:
----
#1. A way to give people something to show off on their profile page whenever they achieve something. I want there to be tons of them, so everyone has different ones, and people strive to get the stuff their friends have.
#2. A way for guilds to award players with something to show off on their profiles, when they win an in-guild compet*tion, or just generally acquire the guild leaders' favour.
#3. Something that can be awarded as a "trophy" to show off on your profile page, after you've won game-wide compet*tions and tournaments.
----

Whatever the solution is, I'd like small medal-sized images for standard stuff, and larger trophy-sized images for more epic awards, like winning game-wide stuff. I wasn't sure about just awarding medals for every little thing, because they are large and take time to draw.

That's why I chose 25x25 pixel badges, as I could make hundreds. I'm just not sure what the best course of action is tbh(smiley) Badges, medals, and trophies are similar concepts. There is a degree of separation between medals and trophies, because one will be smaller visually than they other.

---------
On a related note, I think the opening tone this thread is uncalled for. I do nothing but discuss these things, and sometimes I may feel like changing something to see how it looks. I'm perfectly ent*tled

I like the idea of a separate badge system; I want to see medals used more too though.
