I think the current design/layout is fine but could use a new skin thats a little catchy. Maybe a flash intro page but that would be as far as I go. I would rather have the dev team spend time on the game than a total revamp of the website but the out dated info change is a must.

I'd like to see the Wiki and main website share a layout. I worked on www.chronocompendium.com's wiki about three years ago and the integration of site and Wiki over there is excellent. Doing this could help calm down some people complaining about how there's too much redirection to the wiki. If the wiki and site look the same your average viewer probably won't be able to tell the difference.

4est · 01-07-2008, 06:34 PM

Hirohito, that is a sweet site.

Nice. It'd have to look a tad bit more professional than that. Not that the site there doesn't look good it looks great for what its used for. Damn I'm sure that came out horribly wrong.

I think it is boring. Needs improvements.

Things that i would add:

Description of classes with COOL images like the ones Ghost have.
Button "Download it NOW"
I would not use wiki as often as it is used now. Its cheap, and i particulary close imidiatly as i see wiki (soz :P)
Would put some vids...ultra mega ownages...huber concs...A LOT OF MESS with grens and bodys X-)
ONE THING VERY IMPORTANT, making people see that it is a work in progress, that we are in the inicial stages so they dont feel like 10 people playing? jeeez
News of leagues
Screenshot of dead bodys and cool moments (like a thread we already - Demo with crowbar or a body that looked anged).

But one thing its important. I already has spoken to some TFC players, and they all say this: "Isnt it already dead? everybody i talk say that it is dead". This is the idea outside. I know we are now in a new era, and so we are preparing all to making an entrance, but it is a worry that TFC players have that though. Oh, more: the idea is that the game is fool of bugs, because they played it in day one. - Do you think a funny "almost bug free game" is a good idea in the site? lol

Take out the "get down" threads, and TF2 threads too. They are fine, we are better. We dont mension them.

FF FOREVER

Design and layout are fine. More content to entice people into playing. I refuse to download mods, or free games, if the websites have little to no info on them. This game borders on that. Good thing I played TFC or I wouldn't of even have bothered (or known).

I prefer quick loading websites without a lot of bullshit. I could care less about a nifty flash intro. After you've seen it once it becomes annoying and all you want to do is get past it.

=AS= Pt · 01-10-2008, 02:12 PM

I absolutly LOOOVE FF

, and will give my opinions as they are, and not has you would like them to be

. I will play, i will recruit, i will help noobs how to conc, how to bhop, and will give my ideas as always did, even with my poor english.

And lets stick to the topic. I just send some ideas, some are dumb, some arent. Its called brainstorm. 90% of times it comes out crap, 10% can be a good idea, or give another a hint for a brilliant one.

Cheers

Cleaning this up a bit, keep the racial comments and attacks out of the forums.

uBeR · 01-11-2008, 01:23 AM

It depends. Would the new design be better or worse than the current one?

Aiming for worse, obviously. We'll see if they can pull it off.

Rutabeggar · 01-11-2008, 06:59 AM

I think the design and layout is user friendly...but I think there should be more eye candy to it...people want to see what they're getting into, and it's sort of...well, plain. A change would be nice seeing as this site has been up for what...3 years? Maybe something in a scheme that would represent the FF community, something a little more aggressive and "Rawr this is FF" not wimpy and "LALALA TEE EFF TEW"

Paft · 01-11-2008, 07:08 AM

Who the cares about the site? It's a nice look. It's clean; it's fine. If it's more in depth information you're after that is what the wiki is for.

MightyLotu · 01-11-2008, 08:22 AM

i like it as it is.. maybe a banner on the front page but no more

something it could use is a custom section on the front page where the staff could upload all the custom maps, models, sprites etc.. instead of it all being spread around in the forums or on other sites
