I was wondering what some of my team mates were on about until I saw the new design on my kid's tablets - shocking! I had to double check each type of rune to figure out what they are. Team vs individual runes are incredibly hard to tell apart. The level symbols in the middle are tiny and barely readable @Fox please revise them. No idea what the mutants are going to be like, but if the normal ones are already undecipherable then I fear the worst with the mutants!!!

yes i agree, here too, i'm squinting to figure out my opponent's runes in war , the level of the rune is not visible enough, pretty please change the design

Colors are awful... and hard to see the numbers (on Android, 5.5" display). Isn't it enough to redesign or back prev version?

the whole mutant runes operation is awful.

I still wait for the chance to change the runes for gold, anyway.

Agree to the fullest. I am colourblind so the green red and orange runes looks pretty much desame right now. I must read what rune it is to be sure both on colour and lvl...just awfull design.

@joohnzy , if for nothing else,... consideration should be given for the very reason you've given

Dont mind that they redesigned, but need to fix the tiny numerals for sure. The colors and appearance seem to be similar style to change they made to common monsters a little while back

Is SP Spanish game? Aren't there strict laws in EU about acessibility?

I suggest you send a ticket to support.

@david-ml agreed. I don't like the style or colouring, but that is personal preference and I can get past that. the numerals are near impossible to read which is just bad design. Did no one test drive the new design before launching?

I don't think SP knows much about quality control! I can't think of any new feature that wasn't bugged on first release....

I personally don’t care about the change I don’t like the color of the speed rune seems a little dark like brown instead of orange

Just realized they are all same shape now. Thought i was having trouble telling them apart bc wasnt used to color change yet but all same shape is strange thing to do

I understand they have to look different to show the mutant runes.
However, I would really change them back to how they were, and then to show mutant runes simply add a different colored border around the rune.

Agree with everyone else that it's very hard to see the runes now, especially a VIII rune. Just too crammed. Make them normal again, and add a highlight or border to show mutant.

Agreed about font, it’s too small.

Color blind people were able to distinguish different types of runes because of different shapes. Not anymore.

Hi guys,

The change was necessary since the mutant runes have multiple stats that need to be visible we had to do some design changes and therefore the normal runes had to change as well to keep the design consistent.

However, since there are some unexpected readability issues, we will revert the changes to the original runes today and will work on the new design in the next weeks to bring you something that is easily understandable and has a pleasing design.

@fox unexpected!!!! Why don't you guys test things before implementing them. I have lost count the number of things released and they do not work or are bad for the players. My 10 year could do a better job. Its common sense to test things. All you do is think about how much money it is going to make and not if its in the interest of gaming experience.

Chill man, the runes are pretty much like the old design now, and perfectly recognisable. I sure hope they stay this way !!!

Sometimes you have to cross the line to see where it is

Fox said that they will redesign and then release whatever they come up with next, so no, they won't stay that way. We can only hope that they actually put some thought into it this time and have someone look at them in-game before releasing them into the wild!!!

Or even better - just ditch this mutant rune madness
