New GW website?

[Drake - Knights Templer]

Just to buck the trend I'll say how much I like the look and more (IMHO) comprehensive feel of it. I also like not needing to open a different site to buy as opposed to read. However I need it to be faster!!!

Despite my previous negative comments, I do have to agree with you, to some extent.

It is more user-friendly, we just find it hard because we're used to the old one.

But. It's far, far too slow, and they've cut out too many of the old articles.

And where is the news page? I can't find it. All I can find is a crappy drop down menu with a few Gamesday things on it, no new releases, sneak peeks nothing. Also where is the link to Forge world?. Gaaah are GW determined to lose business, first the travesty that is White Dwarf and now this.

It's the lack of a dedicated online store which has done my head in.
I don't want to flick through a load of slow loading pages to try and find what I want, especially if I'm only looking to see what the models are armed with whilst drawing up my army list.

If I was new to the game and couldn't decide between aliens, humans, baddies or whatever and decided to go with the ones I like the models for it'd take me so long to see them all I probably wouldn't bother.

I'm not as bothered about the articles, there is much better advice, tips and paint schemes to be found on here, it's the online store.

I know some people kick up a fuss about every little thing GW does, but this is the first change that has really bugged me.

Nah, first was the closing of the GW forum, i still miss it. It was bad decision.
And, in my opinion they should never have had anything to do with LotR, but i know from experience not many agree with me.

GW Oz still hasn't been updated this year (from my reckoning anyway), and it's always had the least information of any of the sites, so you guys can't complain too much. On the other hand, I'm definitely with you on the "upgrade" you've gotten, it's shyte...

There are many things about the new site I personally don't like, things mentioned already. However little things like being able to deliver to your store straight from the website and big shiny pictures of all thier products to name a couple kinda bring my criticisms to an equilibrium. Yes it's slow and suffers from a severe lack of hobby content, for the moment. But being able to look at your desired purchases in all thier glory and not have to use two websites at the same time makes me, reluctantly albeit, approve of what they've done. Plus the Gamesday and Golden Demon pages are the best they've done in my opinion...

What bugs me is that for a limited time you can get a sgt model if you buy £50 or more, wish i had known that before my recent order.

I truthly hate the new website its can be pretty slow at loading even on my gaming pc and i have 2gig broadband connection but the only thing i do like the the zoomable pictures which is great at looking before i buy.

The site is also been down for maintance since last night. May a spark of hope to them changing it back for us .

I don't like this new site, it is badly designed. I find it is harder to move navigate and find what you want and the feel of it is clumsy and unproffessional. There is also nothing in the way of articles. I think that previously things like concept art were amoung things that made it interesting. They started to go which was a bad move and now they have removed much of the articles as well. GW is going in the wrong direction with their site as it no longer works well to support the hobby. Supporting the hobby is what it is meant to do, provide new info, missions, conversions etc.

However now it is little more than a slow-loading catalogue. I like to find prices but I don't like them in my face like it is done on this site. It reminds me of Pokemon or the Pokemon theme "gotta catch em all!" Or "gotta buy em, you gotta buy, buy, buy, you got to buy em all!". This is annoying in the extreme. I don't think it is really a case of getting used to it, the new GW site is just of a poor standard.
