Hi, CardCreators!

We started this update to be only a small hotfix/update for the rendering, but turned out to be a bigger update with lots of improvements that will ease your experience creating cards.
Because of the nature of the update we needed to do some breaking changes that will change how your cards are rendering now to match how you create them in blueprint mode.

Important: In order to update your existing projects, all you need to do is open a project and enter in edit mode on each blueprint your project contains. It's possible you need also to update the padding of your panels if you did use them (see changelog below). That's all, all the new projects will use the new card render automatically and should render perfectly.

This update is released in the beta branch (see below at the bottom for more info).

Hope you enjoy it!

• Fix card rendering with panels not being the same size as it was in blueprint mode. Now the cards display and export the same as you design them in blueprint mode.
  
• Fix padding values (now are consistent). Values are in percentage of the panel, before it was the percentage of the distance for the shorter side of the panel.

• New tutorial on how use the variables feature to embed icons and text in your card text panels.
  
• New TresDeck sample project.

• Change default spacing on new layers to 0.
  
• Doubled the minimum size of the line handle when resizing panels in blueprint mode.
  
• Change default spacing on the default blueprint to 0.
  
• Updated internal values in the default blueprint for the new card rendering.
  
• Updated internal values in sample projects for the new card rendering.

• Fix icon picker dialog recent icons overlapping the dialog text.
  
• Fix localized label not appearing after export is finished.

Because of the two breaking improvements, we'll hold the update in the beta branch for some time and then update the master branch, moving the current version in master branch (2.7.1) into a new "legacy 2019" branch.


[Updated] This update is released in the master branch. If you want to use an older app version, you can learn how to change to a beta or legacy branch in steam here.

... that gear goes here... Excellent! Next should be the engine... Now where on the North Pole did I put it? Let's place the turret atop the hull... Ah-ha! I am a genius. Oh, for holidays' sake! I did a naughty thing! I forgot the engine! It'll be fixed faster than a reindeer flies.



Oh, hi there! I'm Chris. Welcome to my Holiday Shop! Or did I say that already?... Anyways, come on in! Watch your step, especially your pinky toes. I keep the heaviest tank models on the floor. Oh, I see what you like. You like the one standing on the table. I'll be holi-delighted! I'm in the presence of a true connoisseur! It's the VK 90.01 (P)! I'm particularly proud of this creation. I even made a video about it:

Ho-ho-ho! Woohoo! Tier X, sloped armor, 230 millimeters of protection in the hull, and 300 mm for the turret. 1,000 horsepower, or shall I say reindeer-power, an enhanced maus gun, and exclusive consumables. Boy, it's so good, I can't just gift it to you!

You may have heard that Microsoft will end support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020.

Benchmarks also have a natural lifespan that ends when they no longer provide meaningful results on modern hardware. When old benchmarks are used with new hardware, the results can be skewed or limited in ways that reduce their accuracy and relevance.

Today, we're announcing the end of support for 3DMark 11. From January 14, 2020 onward, 3DMark 11 will:

• No longer be sold on Steam or other app stores.
  
• No longer receive updates.
  
• No longer be guaranteed to work with our online services.
  
• No longer be eligible for customer support.

If you bought 3DMark 11 from Steam, you will continue to own it, and you will still be able to run it from your Steam Library.

3DMark 11 is a DirectX 11 benchmark that was released in 2010. If your PC is less than seven years old, you will get more useful and comparable results from the latest version of 3DMark.

We recommend 3DMark Time Spy for benchmarking gaming PCs with a discrete graphics card. For testing PCs with integrated graphics, we recommend 3DMark Night Raid. If you do not have a DirectX 12 compatible GPU, we recommend 3DMark Fire Strike for discrete graphics and 3DMark Sky Diver for integrated graphics.

Legacy benchmarks going back to 3DMark99 are available to download for free from the UL Benchmarks website. These unsupported benchmarks are provided for entertainment only with no guarantee of compatibility with current operating systems. 3DMark 11 will be available for free from January 14, 2020.

The Queen update arrives on January 20, bringing a massive redesign of the Outlands and numerous new features like the Crystal League. In our newest Dev Talk, Game and Level Designer Dominik Müller discusses what the Crystal League is, how it works, and the role it plays in Albion Online.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0FYh20MRZM
No time to watch, or prefer a written version? Then read on...
5v5 fights have always been an important part of Albion Online. Thus far, though, they were only available in very limited scenarios: the Arena, Hellgates, and most famously, GvGs and Crystal Realm Battles. While the Arena is very casual, Hellgates and GvGs are very competitive, and thus difficult for newer players to participate in.

With Queen, we wanted to open up the 5v5 scene to as many players as possible while still raising its impact and skill ceiling. We wanted 5-person teams to face off at different levels throughout the season, and end with a bang: high-stakes fights with the finest 5v5 players in the game.

This is how the Crystal League came to be. It allows players to compete in daily casual 5v5 matches to qualify for participation in much more exclusive high-risk, high-reward battles.
Participating in a Crystal League fight requires a Crystal League Token. With one level 1 token per player, you and four teammates can join a level 1 match. This token can be bought from the Energy Manipulator (who now appears in all Royal Cities) or from other players at the Marketplace.

With these tokens, players can then sign up either through the NPC or at a guild-owned territory tower with the guild's permission. Winning a level 1 match gives a level 2 token, which will allow you to fight in a level 2 match, and so on. In total, there are eight token levels and nine fight levels, so you have to be unbeaten in eight matches to get to the final round.

Tokens of level 1-3 can be sold and traded. Tokens of level 4 and above cannot be sold or traded, but can be salvaged for huge amounts of Silver.

Fight levels differ in three key aspects:

1. Item Power Cap

The Item Power cap is a straightforward 20% multiplier, meaning all IP above the displayed cap will be reduced by 80%. (E.g. for IP cap 1000, a total IP of 1100 will have a total effective IP of 1020.) The item power cap for level 1 is 700, 2 is 800, up to level 9 with a cap of 1500.

This ensures that lower-level matches aren't excessively expensive, giving beginners a chance to participate at a reasonable cost.

2. Rewards

Rewards are a combination of Silver, Fame Tomes, and Season Points. High-level winners can earn up to 30M Silver, 1M Fame, and 10,000 Season Points, plus a chance for a Tower Chariot, Colossus Beetle, or Battle Eagle!

Winning a match entered via a territory will level up the territory's tower if the match was of equal or higher level than the tower. Higher tower levels buff a cluster's territory guards, resource enchantment rate, and Siphoning Mage efficiency.

3. Time Slots

There were several things we wanted to accomplish with time slots. We wanted to give as many players as possible the option to play daily. We wanted there to be the option for multiple matches per day at various levels. And we wanted to end the season with extremely high-value fights between the best players.

Starting times (UTC):

• Level 1-3: 2:00, 12:00 and 19:00 daily
• Level 4: 3:00, 13:00, and 20:00 twice a week
• Level 5: 4:00, 14:00, and 21:00 weekly
• Level 6: 5:00, 15:00, and 22:00 once per month
• Level 7: 6:00, 16:00, and 23:00 once per month
• Level 8: final day of the season at 18:00
• Level 9: final day of the season at 19:00

(Note that "season" refers to Guild Seasons - while Crystal League fights are available outside of Guild Seasons, they only offer Season Points while a Guild Season is active.)
1. Peter

• Peter plays with four friends. They've done Arenas and Hellgates, and have always wanted to GvG but never have.
• Two of Peter's friends are not in his guild, but that doesn't matter for the Crystal League.
• He and his friends each buy a level 1 token at the Energy Manipulator. They can see when the next match happens either in the Crystal League tab or on the token.
• Everyone puts their desired gear into the battlevault by the Energy Manipulator and signs up for the match.
• They win the fight, and each of them gets a level 2 token. They sign up for the next day's level 2 match.
• After winning their level 2 and 3 matches, the team has earned 7.5M Silver, 3M Fame, and 150 Season Points in total.
• The level 4 match is worth up to 950,000 Silver, 25 Season Points, and 300,000 Fame. Peter and his friends decide to do level 3 again tomorrow before the level 4 match to warm up.

2. Lily

• Lily is a seasoned GvG player who has won hundreds of GvGs and Crystal Realm Battles.
• Her team is very important to her guild, as they always enter Crystal League matches via their territory tower. Each win levels up the tower, which buffs the whole territory.
• Today is the last day of the season, and her team has risen through the ranks to receive level 8 tokens.
• Winning levels 8 and 9 will earn her guild an additional 65,000 Season Points, and could win them the season. But they'll have to face other teams that have also been unbeaten for eight matches, and do it with a very high Item Power cap.

• The Crystal League provides 5v5 content matching one’s skill level
• It offers a much lower entry level, but with much more impact at the high end
• It lets players like Peter and Lily have the gameplay they want: either pushing their team with increasingly harder content, or winning the season for their guild
