xDerion Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It looks pretty decent, though I liked the one before aswell ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpen Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 How about instead of worrying about the *********** look of the website you actually fix the many in game problems. Get your priorities straight. *** is the point of a pretty website if no one plays the game. This post you put on the forums is not nice at all do not do it again ok.

MasterAidenFlux Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I definitely feel the website needed a new look and approach. This was well executed. Excellent work. I can see how hard the team is working to make this game great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurganNazzir Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks for pulling the Forum Subscription link out of the management section, I'm sure those who sub to several threads are quite pleased they don't have to log in each time now.

terminova Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This post you put on the forums is not nice at all do not do it again ok.

lentWolf Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I like the new template for the site - it matches the launcher and feels a bit smoother. One thing that *would* be nice, would be too see fewer ads on the site saying 'Buy the Game Now'. I feel like if I'm logged in and a key has been assigned to my account, I should not still be seeing 'Buy the Game Now' on the forums and main site pages. It's a minor thing, of course, but with the new template, the ads stand out a bit more. Also, my own opinion, on the forum topic lists (e.g. http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=255), it's not as easy to pick out specific topics as you scroll down. On the previous template, it was easy to scroll down quickly and find strings of text that match what you were looking for (just general browsing). On the new template, with everything so dark and all of the text contrasting so well (not a bad thing in itself), it 'feels' like there's a lot more text, and it's harder to quickly scan titles/descriptions. Just my two cents - overall, I like the makeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomyne Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm sorry Bioware, but the old site was a better design in my opinion. This one just feels cluttered and messy. Just my two credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerodian Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The layout of the new site is good, but the color scheme definitely needs work. I would recommend under forum management that you allow people to set the color scheme using a bit of PHP and selectable CSS layout files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Eminok Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Attention Bioware: If you are reading this (which you are probably not), I request an option to go back to the old site style. That's my 1 credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idunhavaname Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It looks nice but it really hurts my eyes. I can barely spend 5 minutes on this website without getting a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freor Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah, option for old/classic style would be very welcome. Keep the upper part of the site if you wish, but please give option to have the old appearance for threads. Especially the spacing, I could have 19 threads visible on my screen before, now only 14. And if at all possible the old colors would be so much better as well. Just make it an option, I know plenty of game websites/forums where people can choose from different appearances. Give option to change spacing and colors (and disable that mouse highlighting, thats like '99 ) and usability would go up a lot in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSublimitas Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Holy Crap!!! What happened to the forum - it looks absolutely hideous and things are hard to find now. Everything is so bunched together and crowded. Is there a way to use the previous version. I understand the game devs have made a mess of the game but that doesn't mean we have to do it here. It is so user unfriendly. Who designed this?? What? Are we trying to make this like the game now??? Or is it maybe the browser I'm using? Just looks so "cheap" now... Why does everything associated wtih this game/company have to go to hell?? Why can't there be nice things here? God, what a strain on the eyes this board is now.

notebene Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 When you get a 'thread closed' message, there's no breadcrumb back to the base forum you were just in. At least that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathlySin Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I like the new lay out. my only problem with it is not biowares problem its my works. my work still use internet explorer 6 which this new layout doesnt work on, you get no scroll bars and all the links merge together.

MasterScarab Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think the site is ugly tbh. I much prefer drop downs to clicking a dozen links to get where I want to go. The forum homepage is ghastly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shingara Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Attention Bioware, Guild Portals want there forums back. And we want the old forums back. Edit, thats unfair on guild portals, there forums are alot nicer. Edited April 19, 2012 by Shingara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterScarab Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Is that all you can say. Your one line replies to anyone that doesn't like the new layout are rather annoying. You have yet to state why you like it only that "It is better". Nobody wants to read your trollish comments on others' opinions. If all you can do is ask unintelligent questions about clearly stated responses and make even worse 1-liners you should just not post at all. You are entitled to your opinion, but not entitled to harass others for theirs. If you don't stop I will be reporting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
