Heraldry submissions appear to be open

The heraldry shield too.

 

Yes, it's looking more and more like we'll all be stuck with that blue shield. A shame - I was really hoping that the shield (and other heraldry items) would be colored the same as the background of our Coat of Arms.

 

Currently missing the ability to add/change divisions, and still missing a variety of charges that were present in the COA creator... Daedalus, for instance (see my avatar).

 

How can we see what phase our submission is in, and how will be be informed of phase changes?

 

When I go the heraldry submission page it says near the top "your submission is being processed"... so I think that page will keep you updated.

 

Mine currently says, Your Blazon has been processed and is currently awaiting moderator approval.

 

Divisions were removed intentionally as to not mislead users about the application of the Blazon. The instructions currently recommend a transparent background. In addition, all the charges that were marked as "reserved" were removed from the list of charges. This was done because we couldn't guarantee exclusivity of personal charges like the original design of the tool intended. I will look into re-enabling Daedalus.

 

You can visit the "Update Blazon" page https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=84132 to see the status of your submission. Once your submission is approved, you will be able to see the preview of your Blazon on the Heraldry patterns in game. Also the web page will say that your Blazon has been approved.

 

Yes, you're right. That's what mine says.

 

How will us non-US folks see that after migration?

 

Thank you, Gentlemen... It was inobvious unless reading the page carefully... I glanced over it expecting some obvious label.

 

You're right, submission status needs to be more clear, it gets lost in that wall of text. I added it as bug #57135

 

SUBMISSION STATUS: <blink>Your Blazon has been processed and is currently awaiting moderator approval.</blink>

Ok... the blink tag might be going a little far... But, then again... this was a game built on Nostalgia... What could be more emblematic of '90s web design than the blink tag?

 

If you are talking about Travian user migration, you can use this link:

If you are talking about Black Sun user migration, you can use this link:

hahaha I thought <blink> was deprecated years ago

 

So, that apparently happened somewhere between:

and now?

 

SUBMITTED... APPROVE NOW! NOW, NOW, NOW!!!

 

I think you misunderstand. The entire device that you upload will be shown in game. It will not be rendered over the entire banner, shield or tabard.

As you can see in the example on the submission page, the entire Blazon will be rendered. Here is an example:

 

Half of my device is the division within it. For others, it is significantly more. I have a solution I can try, but the point is, I cannot recreate what was supposedly already agreed upon and approved through the COA using the crippled generator that has been implemented.

 

We apologize that you are unable to recreate the Blazon that you desire on our current implementation of the COA generator. We removed many of the features in order to make it more stable. In addition, the original COA tool did not comply with the technical specifications needed to implement this feature. Feel free to contribute bug fixes and more features to the tool through this github project https://github.com/GeneaLabs/sotacoa.com . We will attempt to continually improve the experience based upon user feedback.
