New Look

[soulsnatcher]

Well as you can see, the web boys have been busy with new designs and layouts. Give us your feedback, let us know what you think and if you have any problems with the new look site.

Thanks

Now forum is unreadable due margins, if browser width is small (eg. running game in windowed mode + forum (3/4 game - 1/4 forum). Even in 2048px resolution.

Remove margins or make old skin like option in personal setting.

Seconded. If it was something more than effecttively just putting the old layout inside a big border I could put up with it, but I would rather have it the old way tbh.

[toneh]

Yes, esp for people like me who read the forums while B@W and can't persuade my employer to buy me a laptop with a greater res then 1024.

[rushin]

thirded (?) i read at work in a very small window, and now its almost impossible to.. pls dont make me actually do some work..

[sprite]

Oh, as for (I think) all of the above comments, they're mainly/exclusively aimed at the forums... The mainsite looks nice..

*runs off to have a closer look*

[raynes]

It's unreadable in firefox.

[amcyr]

Fourthed.
Why the need to surround the forum with stars?
The Ryzom logo at the top only was much better.

If you want to do this, could you at least make the margins narrower?

[toneh]

Works fine in Firefox for me m8.

[raynes]

Did you look at the main page, or just the forums?

Also you have a link to the themis group on there. Might want to remove that.

[vinnyq]

Agreed, the actual forum is too narrow. We like reading space, not art, althought in a kind of surreal frame-floating-in-space kinda look it's nice art (which I am guessing is the intention), but we rather have reading space.

The main page is awesome though, don't mess with that! More text space=better. More text space for Xavier to talk to us with, more text space about news, etc, and I love Jessica's QA article. Good stuff.

[zippo123]

I like it :-D

[toneh]

Both mainpage and forums.

Although the mainpage appeared knackered at first, but a refresh sorted it.

[suib0m]

Yeah.. main page looked completely screwey in Firefox. Tho, as mentioned just above, a refresh of the page fixed it.. looks good at full size, haven't tried a smaller view tho.

[toneh]

Yay thats better!

[golden7]

Grey font on main page is difficult to read. I find myself squinting too much; it's not easy on the eyes.

To save time I'll only mention the negative points--feel free to slap a big unspoken "otherwise, I like it :)" to the bottom of my posts as I continue to go through the new site.

[vinnyq]

holy crap, you guys changed the size as we speek, lol! How's that for instant gratification? nice!

[basicart]

aya much better now thx :D

[b00ster1]

The main page is awesome thoughYes, background awesome (which people with 'low resolution' or 'small browser width' dont see) and logo...
But fixed width middle table, with difficult readable text, practically without a divider between news and/in navigation menu .... and what about banners (under server status) in background/logo style?
A little strange style, awesome background with grey (from all design aspects) middle/contents (1st rule - ergonomy, 2nd rule - no horizontal scrollbar, 3rd..).
Just 'first look' impression.
'No-charge-volunteers' job is legal in France? ;)

Though thanks for 'fixing' forums, this was more important.

[kostika]

I guess I missed the goofed up version jst after the change cause I like it how it is. I'm not so sure about the main page. I really liked the old design. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Found something though.

http://www.ryzom.com/?page=lore_races_tryker

The screenshot image links are broken.

[keoni]

I think it looks great, a nice improvement in terms of style points, and I can read it just fine in Firefox. Yaaaay! *does happy kami dance* :cool:

[iciak]

This one is a little esoteric, but thought I'd mention it to ya. I cannot download the screensavers. I am using Mandrake Linux 10.1 Powerpack for and OS, and Firefox for a browser. Don't know if the links there are borked for everyone, or just for me. :)

Love the new look, btw. :)

[dazman76]

Looking good the web guys(tm), nice work :) I like the new design, both for the main site and the forums. In fact I think the main site looks *much* better :)

I saw the narrow version in IE, both sites are now looking spot-on in IE6 and Firefox.

[sehracii]

Same here, screensavers are a no-go.

They looked interesting too!

[micrix]

I like it. Did miss the screwed version. This one i even can read on my very, very old powerbook with 640x480 (forum and webpages).


Edit: When switching the language/community the serverstatus thing jumps to the right side.
Edit2: Please check the german translation. ;)

Creatures of Atys is not "Der Bestienschrank". Try "Kreaturen auf Atys"
Intelligent plants are not "intelligente Betriebe". Try "Intelligente Pflanzen"

[amcyr]

Yup, good job on the fast fix.
This is quite acceptable. ;)

[vinnyq]

Hey, did anyone notice the text under the SoR logo in the home page changes?

Sometimes it would say "Life is tough on Atys", and sometimes it would say "Life is an adventure on Atys".

While I am at it, here's some recommendation to add to the rotation:

"Life is a hoot on Atys"
"Life is carazee on Atys"
"Bow chika bow bow on Atys"
"Life is like a box of dung resin."

i want the big forum button on the main page back..
now i need to find the small link to visit forums..

[kaetemi]

http://www.ryzom.com/?page=lore_higher_karavan

there is a text "viewmore >>" over the concept art, this text is unclickable

[bobturke]

Did you look at the main page, or just the forums?

Reload the page (ctrl-F5). Firefox tries to use the cahced style sheet i believe.

Don't mind the new site at all.

[kaetemi]

[splatula]

Some new goodies too! Check out the animations on the movies page! :cool:

[moulije]

On the main page :

The logo say : Developed and published by nevrax

The link direct you to :

http://www.nervrax.com/

Ne "rrrr" vrax

[alibasil]

yep i have to agree on the width issue- but im sure we will all get used to it at some point :)

As for the main pages- im loving the new piccies/ screenies/ concept art, it totally rocks :D - however under the races lore when you go to select a piccy for viewing- it kinda looks a little pixelated!

Im presuming all the lore is still the same, or has there been any updates on it?

[trigem]

The new look is wonderful, great job "web guys".


Something else that needs fixin:

http://www.ryzom.com/data/icons/icons1.zip

http://www.ryzom.com/data/icons/cursors1.zip

[mmatto]

I remember that there were some info about primitive races but now it is gone.

[anasazi]

the news article has a broken link:

... here instead of posting them on "the forum". Also, as you can see with the current ...

the forum link is leading to "www.ryzom.com/XXXX" instead of "www.ryzom.com/forum"

[vin99]

WoW great job on the design part :D
Now only make the forum colors blend in and your done :P

Really nice design when running 1280 and above :D


********/********** 8/10

[defalgar]

to be honest.

i like it no comment didnt really check for little mistakes because wel im to lazy for that.

[earthforce]

I like the site, but anything to do with Ryzom I like anyway.

I've had a look over and found a spelling mistake so far on

http://www.ryzom.com/?page=lore_races_matis

Where it says

"By manipulating nature, we are elevating our sosuls nearer to godliness"

And I think it should say

"By manipulating nature, we are elevating our souls nearer to godliness"

[kaetemi]

omg!! : http://www.ryzom.com/images/devshots/devshot1.jpg
the karavan their people have come from another planet to help the karavan planet-exploiters who are on atys atm? looks like they improved their technology a little on their planet ...

[golden7]

On this page, under the heading "Getting Started" there is a hyperlink that does not work, with the text "Download the manual"

On the same page, under the heading "Contact information where necessary" NONE of the following hyperlinks work:

"North American version
European English version
German version
French version
...
On the forums"



http://www.ryzom.com/?page=game_getting

[golden7]

For God's sake, on this page, under "Useful Information," I insist that you mention that one can hold down both mouse buttons in order to run forward. I must have heard about hundreds of people on MMORPG.COM who thought Ryzom sucked because it was too awkward for them to use the arrow keys on the right side of the keyboard and the mouse to run (because the left hand is way too far to the right to ever be comfortable). If only they had known that they could use the mouse to run forward by holding down both buttons, they might not have thought the UI was as horrible...

I really believe that that's a serious issue for a lot of people who choose not to play Ryzom, believe it or not.

http://www.ryzom.com/?page=game_getting

[golden7]

http://www.ryzom.com/?page=game_philosophy

First line should read:

"I have been a[n] RPG fan for a long time."

The "n" needs to be added

[golden7]

From http://www.ryzom.com/?page=lore :

"In 2525, Atys resembles an 'amnesic planet."

The word amnesic should not have just the one single quotation mark to the left side. Quotation marks (or lack thereof) should always be consistently on both sides of a word (i.e. 'amnesic').

[golden7]

BTW, the new "Overview" section under "History" at http://www.ryzom.com/?page=lore_story_overview

...is beautifully done! What a gorgeous piece of fiction!

[rushin]

from the links page:
If you wish to recommend a site (your own, or one you found interesting), please submit it through the button on the right.
there is no button (not a cheap matrix gag i hope :))

great redesign though =)

[nonne]

I just say, good work guys the new site is really good looking.. ;)

[sprite]

http://ryzom.com/?page=download_links All the images are missing for the links.

http://ryzom.com/?page=download_game - the image above the link is broken, and it might be best to put a system requirements somewhere around here. Saw someone come into klients today and the problem was that their system couldn't run the game :(

http://ryzom.com/?page=game_getting - at the bottom under "Contact information where necessary" are the emails supposed to be listed? Because just saying "english version" etc isn't all that useful :-/ It also says the command is "/whoGM" which it may well be, but I thought it was "/who gm"

Oh, and where did the maps go? They were really useful when I wanted a map outgame but didn't want to see all the cool stuff that the fansites show you.

[michielb]

It's unreadable in firefox.


no it's not....

okies I will elaberate :P

kidinak - pic missing (http://www.elementals-of-atys.com/mobdb/kidinak.htm)
Honcher - description missing (http://www.elementals-of-atys.com/mobdb/horncher.htm)

They currently have a pic on a honcher next to a decription of a kidnak :D

[mmatto]

Honcher - description missing

"A crustacean with four identical legs, a pair of powerful pincers and stylelike appendages at the end of the abdomen. The horncher gets its name from the horn shell which its carapace resembles. It is known to collapse its body under its legs, lie motionless, in wait for an unknowing prey to pass. Hornchers are found mainly around the lake lands and in the Prime Roots."
