Turn your cards over

· collection · cards

Yesterday the card back got real art. Until now you saw it for about a second, during the catch, and never again. Now you can look at it whenever you want, from your own collection.

What it does

Move the mouse over any card in your collection. It tilts toward the pointer, the way a physical card does when you hold it under a lamp. Keep the pointer there for about half a second and the card turns over to show its back. The back carries the frame of the card's tier: a plain edge for common, a bright blue edge for rare, and light cracks running through the legendary and mythical ones. Move the pointer away and the card turns back.

Clicking a card still opens its page, exactly as before. Nothing about the photo credit changed either: the photographer's name stays a link on the front of the card.

On a phone

There is no hover on a touch screen, so the first tap turns the card over and the second tap opens it. If you leave it, the card turns back by itself after a few seconds. Cards that are not links, such as the type tiles that expand on tap, keep their old behaviour.

Where you will see it

The collection grid (aircraft, ships, types, flags) and the highlight strips on profiles. The catch reveal itself is unchanged, it uses the same art. If your system is set to reduce motion, the cards stay still.

Your own collection is at your profile, and the full tier ladder lives on the ranks page.

Why bother

A collection is something you look at. The back of a card is the one piece of art every card shares, and the only way to see the tier frame up close was to catch something new. Now a rare card you caught last month shows its blue edge the same way a fresh one does. If a card looks wrong to you, tell us in the Discord, with a screenshot if you can.
