Out of Cards Changelog - 2020-08-26 - Decks Return to the Homepage

Whoa! It's been something crazy like 8 months since we removed decks from the homepage of Out of Cards. Today, that changes.

New Features

Homepage Decks Widget

• Quite possibly the most complicated system we have on the site so far.
• Here's how it works:
  • The current "game" that you have active is what decks will display by default.
  • Decks will show, by default, "Week" timeframe and "Hot" sorting with only decks that include a written guide.
• Here's the planned update for Friday:
  • Adding the ability to customize your defaults.
    • Did you look at some Runeterra news but you only want to see Hearthstone decks? No problem.
    • Do you want to default to Hearthstone Wild Paladin decks? You go!
  • All the sorting options available now will be able to be saved as your own preferences.
• Dev Notes
  • I wanted a more visual approach with icons for Classes and Regions for their respective games, but the interesting issues with cross-platform and cross-device features were prohibitive. Also, Demon Hunter can rot in hell for having such a long name that is tough to design around. I believe it looks cleaner without them all out in the open, at the sacrifice of extra clicks if you want to quickly check multiple classes/regions out. This might be updated in the future to make class selections easier.
  • And on the note of class selections, I already know a request is going to be written somewhere that asks we allow you to customize the filters with something such as "Paladin and Druid decks". This might be a feature enhancement down the line. I'm not making any promises right now though.

Changes

Hearthstone

• Collection Manager now has a "bulk remove" button.
  • Hit save after using bulk remove to update your collection on the site.
  • This is an easy way to reset your collection back to square one, or reverse an accidental "bulk adds".

Runeterra

• Collection Manager now has a "bulk remove" button.
  • Hit save after using bulk remove to update your collection on the site.
  • This is an easy way to reset your collection back to square one, or reverse an accidental "bulk adds".

Bug Fixes

Runeterra

• Fixed LoR deck codes not generating codes when Targon cards were present.
• Corrected dropdowns available in the Collection Manager.
• Fixed an issue where the Collection Manager wouldn't let you remove single copies of a card.

Upcoming

• Next Update: Filtering by game for recent forum threads.
• Early September: MTG Arena Database and Decks support
  • If it wasn't for Hearthstone and Runeterra being so active this month, it would have arrived.

We've also updated a few cards that were still using outdated images from patch 1.8. We performed a full data reimport yesterday, but it wasn't worth it because Riot didn't have updated set1 and set2 data on their API until now (or much later yesterday).

Shoulda checked before spending that time lol.

Yup! We're actually going to be pushing that out this afternoon along with customization options for the decks widget =D
