Everybody has new stars... I like it!

Going to have get used to identifying team by new colours...;)

Yep, but would be helpful if someone from the Team would introduce officially all the changes that accompany these levels. Right now it looks just good and nothing more.

Here are the new meanings of the stars.

I like the new stars, may take some getting used too. ;-D

Thanks, DMon! As always the Help section tends to be forgotten ..

However, are these ALL the changes, or perhaps is there something else related?
Asking, 'cos ran into a small messaging problem today, which I wasn't prepared to - 35 messages made both: Inbox and Sent full .. never happened before.

That is beyond my knowledge as I get and send very few messages, and every now and then I clean them out, so have never reached any sort of limit.

Now this is an interesting piece of text:

"and access to our 'Outfits' forum to get free models outfits from the studio"

It's about the rubyStar level and the text is found under the Help-section.

What does this mean? Will we be given free model outfits? Sounds to good to be true =)

Surely there will be some mechanics to win those outfits. As is rather impossible to get one for everybody, unless they cut them into very tiny pieces. In that case, shotgun for a button, lol.

Ah, that sounds like a logical explanation =) ...I guess the Team will explain in due time.

are we still going to have auctions? for plat. members and ^

Woooooooooooooooo I'm an emerald star! I was worried I'd be a crappy topaz or some other worthless gem. Wow Grog, you're a diamond star! You must have the whole collection.

Actually that's not diamond but platinum. RubyStar is the highest for members with more than 1500 cards. See DMon1981's post above. =)

Going to be interesting to see what these new levels will bring.

Yeah those fan signs seem interesting. I don't care much for the outfits, I can't see myself in stockings and a lace bra. Oh man, still got a long way to go..

Well im totally baffled

Saw it yesterday. Nice colors. Will take a little time getting used to this though.

I think the graphic artist who did the member symbols must have been ***** when aesthetics was presented at school.

I think the black background in the icon dominates and makes it look ugly. And, I need a magnifying glass to see the star in the middle when black background is dissonate with the foreground star colour. My eyes must be deteriorating with age.

The reversal colours we see in the moderators and Totem staff icons are much clearer and aesthetically more pleasing.

Ah well, you can seem to please everyone....

yes

Yes, it is are raining not here also !...

As VGHD is still showing me as a red VIP member, just posting this to see what my new star looks like.

Seems to be a fair system. I made Emerald by the looks of it. Casting threads still accessible which is nice.

Agree with tyqi19my. The star graphics should be a white star on a background of the appropriate level colour. The current graphic is not clear enough.

Don't wanna get into a battle here but I can see the new stars/colours just fine. I actually like the coloured star on a black bg. On a laptop, maybe it's a little difficult to see but on a large TV/monitor, no prob :)

Having said that, I guess Totem should cater to everyone's capabilities/hardware. Can't please everyone all the time, I guess :(

Another way would have been to put a black badge with a star in to a colored circle, but guess it's too late for any kind of suggestions and ideas ..
Actually I like these new Diamond levels .. as I've been always thinking green .. };-)

I have to agree the black background with the colored star inside it doesn't work. On my 27" monitor at 1920 x 1080, my blue "Sapphire" star hardly shows up in it against the black background. Even with my old "VIP" button/star combo where the button is red and the star is white in it, the "shape" of the star isn't very clear, but at least you can tell the button's color for sure.

I'm assuming the buttons are just a "graphic", so it shouldn't be too hard or time consuming to change them. The "design" is already there...the colors would just need to be changed for the button and the stars. But black with any other "darker" color never does provide a good contrast between the two colors. The opposite is true too...white and a light yellow never provide a good contrast.

The new Star system went online a bit early, I'll post the official news about it in the coming days. Graphics and/or names will probably be tuned to ease the reading and understanding of the icons and levels.

New forum categories "Fan Signs" and "Free Outfits" will be created soon. They'll be readible by all Stars members, but you'll have to be Sapphire to get fan signs and Ruby to get free outfits. Winners will be selected randmly among members interested.

Smooth move Totem to be considered for the "free outfits" i would have to bite the bullet and get cards i never thought i would be getting since i have to have 1500.

Not overly interested in outfits, but the fan sign does sound... intriguing! (Teaching the girls semaphore are you???;)


An idea for a card there... Codename; sex signals :)

Anybody else noticed that the boss has turned into a dinosaur?

"T REX" Lmao! Hehehe :)

Edit: Sorry Rex, just a bit of fun there ;)

@Hombre
Watch out he might bite! =)

@REX
Thanks for the info REX. Looking forward to learning more about these changes. There's a lot going on now with the new price plan, stars and content changes. Going to be an interesting fall here at VG.

Cheers! =)

@Rex

Greetings to all :)
