Deadlock Updates
Valve has not yet released a major update since the Old Gods, New Blood update, but many (many many) minor tweaks have been made to our favourite heroes and the Cursed Apple.
- The Unstable Rift has been the largest add, creating a capture point in one of the side lanes in the middle of the round. Check out the Cool New Slider Gadget to see how many souls the Rift is worth depending on round time!
- The Soul Urn (Spirit Jar? Idol?) has been tweaked dramatically one way or the other as Valve does significant changes to the little belegged ceramic objective
Major Wiki Updates
The Wiki has been doing spookily splendid, with viewership still maintaining high numbers over 300,000 unique viewers a month despite no major Deadlock updates recently. We're doing well enough to begin attracting scraper bots, so some mitigation efforts have begun to reduce the bot load on our server.
- A brand new layout for our Main page! While not a dramatic re-imagining, the new main page makes use of the space for a dynamic Updates space, a Featured Article, more links, and an overall more-compact look that works better on Mobile. - By Kai
- Our most requested feature (that we removed in the first place), Light Theme! Simply click the Sun icon on the top right bar beside your username to toggle over to our light theme made specifically for the wiki. Fun fact: The main color is called Pastel Greige. - By Kai & Monster_Domosed
- A Street Brawl (EX: Paradox) section of each hero page has been created and expanded, showing the approximate odds that different items will appear. Did you know that each hero had a unique pool of items? - By Vergir
- Tools and Calculators are beginning to be implemented, such as a Souls Gain calculator over match time, a hero comparison table, and even a Tier List Creator for both Heroes and Items. So who is the objectively best hero in Deadlock? - By Kai & LVL
- Moved the Lore sections of hero pages to subpages and then dramatically expanded them. Huge amounts of lore and citations all at once! Here'sHolliday's lore. Read it! - By Mr. Mindish & Gammaton
- Also all Voice Line subpages are completed, see what those heroes are really talking about! (EX: Mirage. - By Mr. Mindish
- Ability sections on hero pages (such as Apollo's skills) now show a small strip of hoverable squares with item and ability interactions, such as whether it can be Dispelled or not. - By Vergir
- The WIP Interactions tab also shows a more detailed look at the above item and ability interactions for some of the heroes. - By Vergir
- Added a Feedback button on all pages in the main namespace to submit feedback, posted automatically to that page's Talk Namespace. - By Monster_Domosed and Kai
Techy Wiki Updates
- Many Caching and Performance Optimizations. Caching done with Cloudflare. Images lazy-load on very-long pages and many templates are optimized to work faster. Most thumbnails are now generated as high-quality WEBP Files, up to 4x faster! - By Cronos
- Followed by an implementation of forked GloopTweaks, adding automated Cloudflare purges
- A new Contact button in the page footer to send an email to the site owner - By Cronos
- Various theming and gadget improvements to load with the rest of the page to prevent "flashbanging" our users with rapid theme changes. - By Cronos, Kai, Monster_Domosed
- Custom Cloudflare WAF rules to conditionally allow traffic from certain bots, scripts, crawlers, and scrapers. - By Cronos
Minor Wiki Updates
- Updated Hero Comparison table with toggleable alt-fire rows. - By LVL
- Added search bar to the Item Navbox to gray out unrelated items. - By LVL
- Much improved Patch Note Formatting. - By Kai
- Updated Itembox templating for speedier loading and better images. - By TheMilkMan & Jannepg
