Agreed!! Love the new design and especially all the new info! New screenshots, concept are for all the races with cooresponding lore, and love the flyover video and new map! And I don't know why I just listed all that out.... if there's anything I missed, y'all let me know! :)
Yeah it was a great job by the team to get this revamped website up and running! I also want to say thank you for the releases of all the races and classes. I spent all afternoon reading through them and have to say there were some pleasant suprises that reveiled themselves.
I'm pleased with the website. I'm also pleased with the improvements to the forum. Spaces seem to work better :)
The website, and forums look great, though I would like to see the forum topics a little more condensed they have a lot of spacing in between them, and the long scrolling list is kinda meh. Just makes it a little hard to look throuhg and forum topics that are lower down will probably not get much attention.
Also are the forums still only for paid members now?
I like it. Was on last night. Couldn't work out where to Sign In though.
(Don't think it was enabled then)
Also nice screenshots. I am sure some of them are new.
I agree the website looks much, much better. Its really not even comparable to the old website. I can't wait to see the class info get filled out too since you guys have 1-10 prototypes for all the base classes for testing.
I am not sold on the new look of the forums though. I think I saw that they were still a work in progress, but the readability is not there yet for me. I would prefer something similar to just the EQ Live forums or the Vanguard forums (gone now though). Simple, non-cluttered, and straightforward. With this background picture, as I scroll through the posts, they get alternately harder and easier to read depending on what part of the background the text is on.
Keep up the good work though guys!
Yeah the info sections look great but the Yellow with white text buttons, like what in the world, I cant even make it out. As far as the forum text, its way to bright, I perfer the older color scheme. The backdrop for the text needs to be a solid color not scollable over the background. Thats like 1998 type stuff and hard to read. No UX testing went into this it seems. You should of let the people who are paying to be testers in the game actually help test the new design.

The forum does need some work, but that will be easy to fix with some quick css changes. This is a big step forward
Thanks for the kind words and feedback guys, this was a soft launch for us and the forums section is still a work in progress while we push towards an official release later next week, so please enjoy the new site and bare with us while we work hard on fixing a few little hiccups along the way :)

Yes I agree, I'm being more critical because I do web development but it is a great PR move but the forums.. lol makes me go blind almost.
Agree, site is amazing. Forum does seem to be a little harder to read and unless I'm maximized, its formatted to trail way off to the right of my browser. Little things of less importance.
Most important thing is that the Pantheon and VR sites look profession and have a lot of information. This was huge. Now just waiting for that new video to see some gameplay and the beauty of Unity 5.
If you are solicitating advice for the website I would suggest replacing the RACE & CLASS section links with Game Info and Media links.
The media link is a bit hard to find. I think it's traditional to have a media link as a primary option.
The game information about races, classes, and whatever else you might want could be in it's own section to combine them.
OK so let me be speficic and clear. I am running an old windows XP machine while I wait for a build I had already paid for, and due to unforseen circumstances, has been delayed for longer than the current 1Year 7 months waiting period ( long story, independent person). So I use it for mail, web, and old games. When I log into the New pantheon site, I see the main page and there is a slide show that begins at the top. There is also music I hear in the background starting as a high keening tone, that resolved into a light musical ditty, and sounds of something yawning. By the time the automatic slide show gets to the second page, I see a looping gif, on the second page, of an oversized white rabbit, comiing out of his cave and yawning, and then taking a few steps as the camera angle changes to show the big white rabbits height.that cuts off, and then repeats.
Secret? (albeit odd) or an alpha testing kind of test.
I filmed it.
Once I get it saved to a link, I will post it here.
