User blog:Tricoro/In Memoriam of Cookie Run Newsletter...

So on April 8, 2016, new update came, and it revamped the whole Mail Box system.

Apparently the new 4.2.0 update did not really update anything significant. Well, it really did make the interface for sending lives and getting rewards cleaner, but it changed one thing, how the newsletter was displayed.



And I don't really like it. Not sure about you.

One of the reasons why I like Cookie Run is because of its endless updates with its visually attractive newsletters, no matter how repetitive it is. It made a sense of new things keep happening on the game. Now it has been replaced by some box with some texts and no images. Well, although the updates are the same, the visuals will never feel the same again.

What happens to the cheering and exciting visual newsletters?

For newer players, maybe visuals are better suited for them because they will know what kind of elements are they getting. Like the image above, they probably don't know who Zombie cookie is. And who is Gold Drop? Is it a cookie? Maybe.

In addition, I am frankly confused as to what kind of screenshots we are going to put in the infobox of each event recorded in this wiki. We always put Newsletters to signify the event related to it, but now if there is no interface to record, then I don't know what would. Maybe we can end up using no visuals to give in to our audience at Cookie Run Wiki, and that could be very fatal as less visual usually produces less interests with the readers.

All in all, I think it would be an easier job for Devsisters to make future events, as typing takes significantly less effort than designing a whole interface just to create a new small event. But I am definitely going to miss visual events that has been done in the past two years. May they rest well as we are entering a world with texts welcoming to the game.
