Following our recent update, there were several issues present on our website. Instead of adding to the patchwork, we’ve decided to give it a proper rework to adapt and improve old features, introduce new features, and improve usability.

Meanwhile, we’ve made significant progress on this topic, and are excited to present the upcoming changes to you!

Let’s zoom into the changes!

Side Navigation

We received a lot of feedback about our website being difficult to navigate, especially for new users. With the top navigation, we are quite limited in the amount and description of menu items, and depending on different screen resolutions and window sizes, the page might swap to the mobile view, which can be quite confusing.

With the side navigation, we win some precious space on top of the page, gain a lot of flexibility and possibilities to include new features, and we’re able to offer a clean menu for easy navigation.

Following this change, we reworked several menu points and moved some functions to a new, more intuitive location.

👍
Additional perks of the side navigation
- Change the menu layout with just one click! You can choose between the full menu with icons and text (recommended for beginners), and icons only if you already know your way around our website.

- Mouse over the Depot icon to get a tool-tip with your current coin balance and top energy levels.

Headquarters

Behind this menu point, you’ll find general information like the HUB and Seasons.

HUB

Streamheroes is growing and especially with the upcoming seasons, there is a lot going on. Until now, your best address to get news about events and changes has been our Discord and our Social Media channels, while other important information was all over the place.

😎
With the HUB, we’ll create one place to keep you updated with the most essential information.
  • Keep an eye on the current season’s status.
  • Check out the current quests and get your reward.
  • Always know, when and where you’ll get your next energy infusion.
  • Be the first to discover recently uploaded new booster packs.
  • Stay tuned to our news feed and don’t miss anything going on at Streamheroes.
  • Have a look at which of our Streamheroes streamers you can collect cards right now.
Please mind, we're still working on it and some things might change until launch.

Seasons

Seasons are a big thing and come with a lot of information. There’ll be one page for each season containing all you need to know about it! Check out the rewards, learn about the background story and characters, or have a look at the seasonal streamer assets, to name just a few.

Please mind, we're still working on it and some things might change until launch.

Profile

Currently, we have three profile-ish pages: User Profile, Streamer Profile, and the Home Screen. With this, we have a lot of redundant information, while at the same time some information can only be found on a specific profile.

🌊
To clean up this mess, we’re moving information only relevant to the streamer to the tab “Streamer” and we’re arranging the remaining information on sub-pages. Users who also are streamers will receive additional sub-pages.
Please mind, we're still working on it and some things might change until launch.

The profile header is getting some tweaks too:

  • It will be less bulky, so you can see more interesting information.
  • You’ll be able to add frames to your picture from the season rewards.
  • Badges gain a better position
  • Keep an eye on your XP-bar and check, how much is missing for the next level up.

Tab: Booster Packs (Streamer only)

We’re dedicating a whole sub-page to booster packs. Here you’ll be able to redeem available booster packs and check out previous packs.

Tab: Activity

This is a new feature! With the activity stream, you’ll be able to track what you’re doing and where you’re getting energy. For the public, you’ll be able to customize this stream and decide which activities you want others to see. For us, it is a great tool to follow up on bugs.

To complete the available information, there are also sections with your top rankings and stats.

Tab: Showcase

You wanted to have more slots to display your favorite cards. ‘Infinite’ has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

The Showcase is a whole page dedicated to your favorite cards! Just ‘like’ the cards while redeeming them or in your inventory, and they’ll show up on this page.

Tab: Leaderboard (Streamer only)

This is where the seasons happen! Each Streamer will have their own Leaderboard listing all users redeeming their booster packs right here in their profile. Check out, who the top-ranking viewers are and what you need to achieve to push them from their pedestal.

Tab: Rankings

This tab will help you to keep track of all your rankings at the different streamers. You don’t want to follow up on certain streamers, you were visiting, e.g., to do your dailies? No problem, the custom settings for this list will help you to keep your focus!


Streamer

This is the new favorite playground for our streamers! Check out various stats about your cards and audience, manage booster packs, and, coming soon: take control of your alerts and Streamheroes bots!

Booster Pack Management

With the new booster pack concept, it is due time to align our card tool. And since we were already on it, we’ve added some cool new features too!

💡
While creating a new booster pack, you’ll have the choice between the base set booster pack and an event booster pack.
Additionally, you can now pick a Booster Pack design!
  • Base Set Booster Pack
    • Contains at least 5, or a multiple of 5 cards with an equal amount of cards for each rarity.
    • Quality layers are included.
    • The booster pack always costs 600 energy.
    • Archive booster packs
  • Event Booster Pack
    • Contains at least 3 cards.
    • All cards are special cards with equal drop chances.
    • Only events with a duration of at least 7 days include quality layers.
    • Determine the energy costs for the booster pack.
    • Define a time frame, in which the booster pack is redeemable.

The next steps will be the same for both kinds of packs: name the booster pack and choose its design.

After defining all parameters, you’ll send the complete booster pack for approval. You’ll be able to upload as many booster packs as you like, and also archive them manually.

⚠️
Only complete booster packs will be archived. You won’t be able to change or archive individual cards of a booster pack.

Demo Set

You’ll be able to order your own demo set directly in the new booster management tool. Just click on the banner, select the packs you’d like to order, add your shipping address, and you’ll receive your demo set in predefined qualities for free!

Demo sets can be ordered once in 180 days.


Coming up next: Redeem Booster Packs

On frequent request, we’ll add an option to quickly open booster packs:

Hold the space bar while you’re still in the detail view of the card you’ve just redeemed to open another. That should speed up things significantly!

On top of this, you’ll be able to store sealed booster packs in your inventory. With the future marketplace in mind, we want to give value to the unopened packs. This way you’ll be able to offer or get old booster packs, e.g., from previous events or seasons.


😁
We’re hyped about these changes. Are you too?
