About a year and a half ago Team Spockholm made a nice update to the Profile Page [1]. Instead of needing to scroll for miles they collapsed the inventory and one could expand each category. Zynga must have liked this idea because they have updated the Profile Page to do the same thing. Instead of pages and pages of endless loot items, there are now 6 categories which can expanded by clicking the + sign. There is also a scroll bar within each category. The only thing that could be changed is for the most recent items to appear on top so players wouldn’t need to scroll to see them. This is a great update and a nice representation of how scripts have influenced the game. It also may explain why there were game issues earlier today. Thanks to Martin who only noticed this update because it broke the Spockholm version. An update was made and will appear shortly [1].

Is this the reason I cannot see my profile page now? It has not affected my other play on the site, other than making it look like I have no respect in the arena, although my ranking has been unaffected to date, Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteWell i think the one Zynga made is better, before this came around it was just so heavy to load the profile page, even with spockholms version, even though they had collapsed everything, you still loaded all the loots, with the one Zynga made it looks like you dont load the loots before after you open the collapseable menu thing, which is great, maybe it wont be such a hassle to go into your profile, hope spockholm dont update or try zyngas version.
ReplyDeleteThats how it feels for me and no, i dont have a puny weak laptop or anything like that, i have a rather powerful desktop machine that i need to have to be able to play more graphic demanding games.
There has always been so heavy to load the profile, even with spockholms version as said, zyngas version behaved much better and it was a joy to visit the profile for once, but when i opened one of the collapsed tabs, oh boy, thing got slow due to the amount of loot images it needs to load at the same time, so thats whats wrong with spockholms version, they only hide the loots, but they still load in when you visit the profile, which it shouldnt do.
I can be wrong, but this is how i feel and i know how my machine behaves with stuff and i know whats to expect from mw on my machine.
Spockholm can only do what Zynga allows within the code. Now that the game code has been rewritten, that will be used but with Spockholm improvements if they can. There wasn't anything wrong with it, it was just the only way to present a collapsed inventory but it still had to load. Now it won't :)
DeleteOk then, then i guess what zynga now have done will affect whatever spockholm will do and thats good.
DeleteIt was painfull to visit your profile before, atleast for those of us that have more then 5 loots to load, hehe.
Any idea when this will be fixed? Mine has been blank for a day or so. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI am a developer with Zynga and I can tell you that this feature was on the roadmap way before team Spockholm ripped off our idea.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous if it takes two years to roll out a simple change like this you need to work on your development methodology. Might consider a switch to agile development, or something a little more timely.
