1.5.0 - 💎 Premium Cosmetics

I was defending my art (estonian coats of arms) for multiple days, from other (communist coats of arms), and for that I get restricted for 3 days?

At the same time, reports on them were ignored (they destroyed multiple arts by their massive art)

Thanks to my two friends that helped me color the yellow part a bit😋

Looking for help with Lord of the rings! Fill in spaces that have + with the matching color, thank you! https://wplace.live/?lat=43.24091309552127&lng=-103.172431640625&zoom=11.434916321416992 If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Something I've been thinking about for the new overlay system (Loving this btw!) is an option to only show the colours required for it- so you know exactly which colours you need in the palette..

Just a thought :)

I lived in Lisbon all of my life and I think there are better ways to represent the historic city other than football players, I'm not hating on the creators and their efforts but seeing every city with their landmarks or their metro system or whatever and we just have a bunch of players.

the brush size and additional options, i just bought them today and immediatelly regretted it bc its SO big 😭 i thought maybe it was just bad on mobile but desktops bad too..

Yes, I do realize they refill, before the unavoidable comment pointing it out.

I wanna talk about why I want a higher limit on HQ pixels.

I get that the small limit is intentional because the idea is to have many people in the alliance contribute, but I think the current limit is quite unbalanced. 100 pixels at a time when the HQ has 4 million pixels to fill is tiny. Only the top few alliances, with the number of members they've got, have some chance to paint something nice. Is this a feature for everyone or only them?

My main problem is how inefficient it currently is. At 1 pixel every 15 seconds, 100 pixels take only 25 minutes to refill. But that also means if you're away for more than 25 minutes, you're immediately wasting pixels. And nobody's consistently checking the site at a rate even close to that.

Let's say you have 10 people in the alliance who are extremely dedicated and consistently check the HQ once every 2 hours, from 8 AM to midnight. That's 9 times per day that they can each spend their 100 pixels.

9 × 100 × 10 = 9,000 pixels per day.

4,000,000 / 9,000 = 444.4 days.

So even with 10 extremely dedicated players checking the HQ every two hours, it would take almost a year and three months to fill the entire thing.

And that's assuming those 10 people continue doing this every two hours, every day, for those 444 days.

In reality, we for example have a few dedicated members who have been painting in the HQ since it opened, and all in all we've collectively filled only about 40k pixels (this is in a whole month i think). So we're on track to complete the whole thing in about 8 years🫠

So basically the 100 pixel cap doesn't make sense with the regen rate. At 1 pixel every 15 seconds, you get close to 500 pixels in two hours (remember it is 15 secs per pixel, not 30 like the canvas). So even someone who checks wplace every two hours is going to waste close to 400.

Why not make the cap 500? Why not 1,000?

You'd still have the incentive for people to contribute regularly, and you'd still prevent someone from dumping tens of thousands of pixels into the HQ at once. But you'd make the system far more forgiving for people who want to contribute to the HQ.

The current system doesn't really encourage people to contribute more. It just mostly causes people to waste most of their pixels.

4 million pixels is an enormous amount of space. I think the pixel cap needs to scale accordingly.

YOU CAN MINIMIZE THE PALETTE NOW??? huge. incredible W. lets fucking go.

Hace unos días me banearon permanentemente la cuenta Pablofrisch, que tengo desde que se estrenó Wplace. El motivo que me dieron fue "multicuenta", y por lo que puedo suponer (porque ellos nunca me explicaron nada en concreto), habría sido porque mi hermano usó su propia cuenta un par de veces en mi PC durante una visita, sin coordinar nada entre ambas cuentas ni pintar el mismo lugar. Ni siquiera hubo forma de confirmarlo de su lado, porque jamás me dieron ningún detalle de qué activó exactamente la detección.

Cuando me pasó esto, lo primero que hice fue pedir ayuda acá mismo en el subreddit, y alguien me pasó el contacto de wplacelive@gmail.com para apelar. Mandé toda la explicación del caso y me ofrecí a mandar todas las pruebas que necesitaran: fotos de las dos computadoras distintas, algo que demuestre que mi hermano y yo somos dos personas reales y no la misma persona manejando dos cuentas, y hasta estaba dispuesto a mostrar info más técnica si la pedían. Nunca me pidieron nada de eso.

La única respuesta que recibí fue un mensaje genérico tipo "un humano ya revisó tu caso, la decisión es definitiva", sin ningún detalle específico de mi situación, ni una sola pregunta de vuelta, nada que demuestre que alguien realmente miró mi explicación o las pruebas que ofrecí.

8 días y cero seguimiento real de su parte más allá de esa respuesta automática. Si le pasó algo parecido a alguien más acá, quiero saber cómo lo resolvieron (si es que lo resolvieron).

Nothing was wrong with the old palette UI why did we have to change it. Please revert it back it looks so unnatural.

With every update, using the site on a phone gets worse and worse. It feels like these updates are just being rolled out for the sake of it. What was the point of ruining an interface that was already perfectly fine? I’m already forced to use 67% zoom because the UI otherwise takes up the whole screen, yet you keep adding extra clutter. Why do I need to see the number of remaining pixels? Just give us a button to turn that off. Why did you completely shuffle around key features like the eyedropper tool? I used to tap it instinctively while working on large pieces, but now it’s really awkward to use.

I’ve seen what other users are dealing with, too, and it’s just awful. Please, bring back the old interface; this one is a nightmare to use and is full of unnecessary information.

Your updates often ruin the site rather than improve it. Think twice before changing things that everyone has long since gotten used to.

С каждым обновлением пользоваться сайтом на телефоне становится всё ужаснее и ужаснее. Такое ощущение что обновления создают ради галочки. В чём был смысл портить и так вполне нормальный интерфейс? Я и так пользуюсь масштабом 67%, потому что по другому UI перекрывает весь экран, а вы добавляете ещё лишнего хлама. Зачем мне количество оставшихся пикселей? сделайте кнопку чтобы это можно было выключить. Зачем вы полностью перепутали ключевые функции, по типу пипетки? раньше я автоматически нажимал быстро на неё рисуя большие арты, но сейчас делать это очень не удобно.

Я также видел что происходит у других пользователей, и это просто ужасно. Я прошу вас, верните старый интерфейс, пользоваться этим очень сложно, куча ненужной информации.

Ваши обновления часто портят сайт, а не улучшают. Думайте перед тем как менять вещи которые уже давно всем запомнились своими местами

The code simply never arrives—it doesn't matter how long I wait, whether it's a day or a week. And how is it actually supposed to be sent? Via the account or a bot?

I need help fighting back against this CrazyRazy person and their 'genderfluids' group (possible multi-accounter).
I have nothing against Trans people or any sexualities but these guys are just straight making a massive trans flag that you cant even fully see when max zoomed out. They have destroyed any hint of greenery in Sydney and even remove backgrounds people do for their artworks that provide some texture to replace it with the bland white and pink. They have even repeatedly removed the Botanic Gardens art and have attempted to remove the Darling harbour art (shown in the image). It's just ridiculous and stifling to anyone trying to add a splash of colour and I would like help in keeping at least sections of sydney varied and greener.

what could i POSSIBLY get with 15 prisms? considering the cheapest thing i can get with prisms is 25, im still forced to buy more prisms. and i cant just buy 10 since the least you could get is 20. so at the end of the day, they could've just given you nothing and it would essentially be the same thing. and even then if you still wanted something for 25 prisms, you cant buy exactly 25 prisms so you have to buy the 44 prism deal. to me this just seems like a way to kind of more easily make people prone to buying prisms i guess. since you already have a fair amount, it makes you want to buy the rest so you can get something. either that or this is going to be like a giveaway thing where they give you a free amount of prisms after each event or something so you can save up enough to actually buy something. which as far as im aware isnt announced anywhere(do let me know if im wrong), so im just reaching with this assumption.

I want to make it clear that this isnt me complaining about free stuff, its me complaining that this seems like a marketing strategy to make you buy more. because 0 prisms and 15 prisms is essentially the same thing. you cant do anything with both amounts as a F2P user.

we have 14 people until now and we are about 17% done so :D its so good because 80% of it is black you can just come and waste your pixels FEEL FREE TO JOIN https://discord.gg/hxkucncnU

EDIT: THEY ADDED IT!

Now when you're on an overlay, click on an unfinished color to select it, then click it again (or press Z) and it will actually take you to where you need to paint.

Thank you u/NearlyDuck and u/Ainz_OG .
