We've got freakin' awesome news for you!

The social stream has had a total work-over and now you have got a whole new level of possibilities:
* You can post your YouTube videos, comments or maybe live updates on which achievement or game will be the next on your Hunt directly on the social stream.
* You want your friends to join your Hunt for reaching the next achievements? Just create an event in the social stream and invite them!
* For all that new information we have also added a feature to specifically hide what's not of interest for you

Our Live Game Status has grown! Now you're able to check your current and most recent SMITE matches. More games are coming soon!

You have a lot of friends in your friendlist and always thought that you want to have a better and simpler overview about your friends?
These times are over! We have built a new friendlist which has a straight and simple but cool look. Try it out yourself!

Hey Achievars,

We've got a lot to tell!
Awesome features have become part of Achievar!

The first of our new features is the awesome achievement detail page. On this page you will see all the details you have to know about this achievement, the gamers who have reached this achievement and you can post comments or a video tutorial for this achievement.

Every time a user reaches an achievement, you can see it on the social stream. From now on you can see more informations about every player in profile tooltips. Just hover over their names wherever you see them.

But not only your friends can reach new achievements, the hunt starts right now for your guilds too. Greed for achievements together and bring it to the top of all guilds.

Another great feature we have integrated is the playtime overview. You can now see how long you have played which game and compare to your friends.

And last but not freaking least our biggest feature: We have integrated a live game status overview. Here you can see the realtime status of your games or the games of your friends. With this live ticker you are always up to date and prepared for your next big matches. For now we have integrated League of Legends matches, but there are a lot more games planned! Visit https://achievar.net/live to test it out for yourself.

Hello there book of dreams and wishes,

We haven't spoken for a long time.
I've got some freaking news to tell you. We have some new features on Achievar I want to write about.
We wanted our Achievars, or to say better our champions to join forces. In order to do this, our developers crawled into their cave and when they came out, they had the following awesome features in their minds:

1. The guild-system: From now on our Achievars are able to join or build their own guilds. These guilds will have their own ranking calculated by the ranking points of the recruited gamers. Therefore there will be a guild-ranking and you can fight together to bring your guild to the top of all.
2. Have you got this game? We integrated the awesome feature to research what games you and your friends own together so you can plan your achievement runs more effectively
3. The tag-feature: We wanted our users, to have the ability to sort their games more easily, thus we have built the "tag-feature". From now own you can tag your games with words like "mmo" or "sandbox" or something like that and so you can just type in this word and find your favorite games personalized by your own searching preference.

Last but not least we were able to integrate international support for League of Legends accounts (add as many accounts as you want to integrate).
Please remember: you can link several plattform-accounts with one Achievar account.

Wow, that's a lot of new features and we are looking forward to any feedback from our users.
Till the next time we wish a lot of fun with the new features,

Your Achievar-Team

Dev diary, week 14

Dear Achievar-diary,

It has been a while since we talked and a lot of fascinating things happened during the last weeks.
Our developers have been coding from dusk till dawn and vice versa and have reached a whole new level of overtime work (and obviously pizza & energy drink consumption)

But that all was for a very good reason:

In the last weeks they created unbelievable features we can bring to our users.
We had some guys playing all night long, reaching achievement over achievement and everything was shown on our social stream. Thats how it should work, but we thought maybe not everybody wants to see every achievement on his social-stream and so we decided to limit the amount of displayed achievements to five. (If our users want to see more, they can easily click the "+" button, and can see more).
"But guys!", we said, "we limited the shown achievements to five, so we need to give a goodie for this limitation!". And so our developers and designers have created totally stunning tooltips with different frames depending on the score of the achievement. Now every time our users are "mouseovering" their achievements, they will see these tooltips. Quite awesome, isn't it?

"C'mon guys, I do know, which achievement I have earned recently", some users will say, so we thought about another additional feature.
From now on, they can see all of their friend's gaming lists and the achievements they have obtained. So they can investigate their friends achievements and can fight their ranking more efficiently.
As some may have recognized, our friend Diablodouble is delivering us a bunch of awesome German Let's Plays (for example about the new zombie-survival game "Dying Light"). Every time, we upload a new video on YouTube, our users will now receive a notice on our social stream, so nobody will miss any episodes.

We thought about our old "link your account" site and said, that we have to change something. There were a lot of charts and texts and bla. So we changed! From now own, there is a straight layout with images to click on, you can say it's a little eye candy for our users :wink:
One of our biggest team discussions was about socializing. We thought we have to provide a possibility for our users to play and chat together as groups, thus we have built a new messaging function that supports a group chat function.

Well, that is a whole bunch of news, huh?
You may wonder now what else we have coming up for the next days and weeks?

The group feature is a great deal, so we started building a new clan/guild-system so our users can fight other clans and guilds and can join each other.
For our number addicted users, we are going to show more statistics from their games and achievements as for their profile which will give them more possibility to bring their own profile alive.

Dear diary,
These are my words for these weeks, but there is one question left:
Who's going to win the Suberbowl? Patriots or Seahawks?
