The interface editor is accessible from the ESC menu or directly using the keyboard shortcut U.

By selecting an interface element from the dropdown list or by clicking directly on the corresponding item, you can move it wherever you want. You can also:

• Show / Hide the element using the "Visible" option
  
• Resize the element with the "Scale" option

Some elements allow more settings like the Buffs / Debuffs list. On these elements you can in addition:

• Choose on how many rows / columns the icons are displayed
  
• From which side to start the row (right corner or left corner)

We hope that you'll enjoy this new feature ! If you want us to add other options to this interface, let us know on the community hub or directly on Discord: https://discord.gg/ErnVfzM

・Added clarification option for color symbols.

Hi!

This patch focuses on fixing the bug near the end of the game where certain choices with Asalia would lead up to the game locking you up and not being able to progress!

Best,
Rafal.

Champions of the Realm!

We love to see all of the incredible fan art tons of our community members create (especially with all of this extra free time this year), and we wanted to give you another chance at getting your art into the game! As we gear up for the season of Autumn, we wanted to open up submissions for you to enter your own fan art in hopes of your art pieces being turned into Avatars for everyone to earn for free during our update later this year!

Submissions close on July 9th, 2021, so make sure to get your art in before the submission form closes! Bring out the big guns and show us what you’ve got! We simply can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The chosen submissions will receive our newly unveiled “Community Creator” spray and title as well as 10 codes for their in-game Avatar!

Make your submissions here, and become familiar with all the rules listed below.

Best of luck to all our community artists!

The official rules for this program consist of both this Program Page and the Paladins® Community Submission Program General Rules, Terms and Conditions (“General Rules”) available here!

2021 Paladins® Community Submission Program

The Evil Mojo Team will review submissions based on the following factors: originality, technical feasibility, player appeal, overall theme, and quality. The team will select up to 10 submissions after review for potential implementation in the game, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Program Rules, including without limitation completion of a declaration of eligibility and acknowledgment of Hi-Rez’s rights in the submission. Hi-Rez reserves the right to increase/decrease the number of submissions to implement in-game based on the overall quality of the Submissions.

Implementation of the selected submission in-game; the in-game title “Community Creator”; the “Community Creator” spray; and 10 codes for in-game downloads of the avatar created using your Submission. Hi-Rez will not be obligated to award such title or spray to you again if you have already unlocked it.



Please also note the following reminders on program rules:

• Submissions must be consistent with the Theme for the program (in this case, Paladins).
  
• Submissions must be submitted in PNG format with a 128×128 pixel size.
  
• Submissions that are animated must be submitted with a 128x128 pixel size in GIF format.
  
• Your submission must not have been submitted in any other Paladins community submission program.

• If any submissions other than final selected submission(s) in this Program stand out to us, we may choose to implement such submission at some point in the future.
  
• In the event your submission is selected for potential implementation, you will be notified via e-mail with additional instructions by Hi-Rez Studios, which may include requests to provide additional information or documents. Failure to respond to such notification or follow such instructions by the deadline (or if no deadline is provided, then within a reasonable time) may result in disqualification.
  
• Submissions must be appropriate for the Paladins universe. Entries will be disqualified if deemed inappropriate for implementation in the game. As an initial matter, entries that are obscene, offensive, vulgar, or discriminatory will be removed from the program. We reserve the right to disqualify submissions, including, without limitation, submissions that (a) are incomplete or unclear; (b) violate any applicable laws, including without limitation, infringement of intellectual property or publicity rights; (c) contain fraudulent, false, or misleading information; or (d) are otherwise detrimental or damaging to Hi-Rez Studios and its affiliates. We reserve the right to disqualify submissions that do not comply with program rules.
  
• In exchange for the license set forth in the General Rules for use of our materials in your submission, submissions are the sole and exclusive property of Hi-Rez as set forth in the General Rules.
  
• Any opportunity to have a Submission implemented in-game has no cash value, and no award of any kind is offered beyond the honor of having the top Submission(s) considered for implementation in-game by Hi-Rez Studios.

First of all, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who supported us when the game was initially released to Early Access by purchasing the game and making these warm and positive reviews! For such a small team like us, it's very important to get more than 90% of positive reviews on Steam in order to bring our game to more players.
Some of your proposals are already planned to be implemented, and some small features are already in the today's update!

• Fixed problems with authorization for some players.
  
• Payments are now calculated in a different way in random events.
  
• Now you can change the game speed using Space key.
  
• Now you can zoom in and out with Q and E keys.
  
• Fixed a problem when camera could jump from one overcrowded airport to another. Cities are now sorted by time remaining to react.
  
• Fixed a problem with overcrowded city after "Hurricane" event.
  
• Game speed now doesn't change after a random event.
  
• Fixed some localization issues.
  
• Improved connection stability.
  
• Minor fixes and improvements.

Welcome to the weekly news. Today's weekly news is all about visuals.


We've reworked lighting in the game. For instance, previously the sun was shifting very harshly, it was because of the time system in the Unreal Engine, we've found the solution to it and now the sun is moving smoothly, like a calm river. That will grant you beautiful sunrises and calming sunsets.



The environment is very important for immersion, and our level designer and 3D designer are working on foliage detalization, it will make bushes, trees, grass more unique and noticeable. Along with all that has been stated we are remastering materials in the game.


The government always watching us. But if there is no government who's watching us now?




That's all for today, thank you all for your support. And see you all next time :).

💀 Attention Lords! 💀

During the stream, Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance, stalks the Old World, hunting those who’ve earned Khorne’s ire. We will try to impress him in battle and acquire his favour to recruit this Legendary Warlord to our own ranks.
Skulltaker also returned to bring Khorne's glory to the world. We will battle this returning Legendary Warlord to craft the brand new equipment now available from his loot drops.
