The only major problem bout the site (apart from its flash....booo

) is the FAQ is still not offering the info it should. EDIT: Oh and heres a big one, NEVER use season as release dates, A) its like saying its out at 9pm.... which 9pm and B) It insults a lot of people

A game FAQs should include:

#1 Entry should be system requirements. Processors speeds, gfx and sound info, bandwidth, minimum OS version, and a note saying that in the future futher chapters may require more horse power. A suggestion about drivers and such helps.

#2 Sign up and purchase issues. This means issues with PlayNC.com despite they will have their own help, possible issues with passwords, email and so forth. And of course, infomation about choosing a server to use, how to pick the best one (as GW often comes using the wrong choice by default) and when to pick it.

#3 Basic technical issues and errors. Graphics problems, Net 7, crashing, and info on the support forms to use.

#4 In Game, basic asked questions. Such as, how do I assign keys, how do I take a screenshot (without the UI), and other simple mechanics issues.

#5 Handy tips, such as leaving pre-searing early can cause problems, you get n slots for chars, differences between PvP and PvE etc.

Now some of that can be moved round but all that info is important.

Maybe you should stop complaining about about the slow load just becasue YOU have a bad connection. I have a notebook that connects wirelessly to our router that also supports another wireless computer, Xbox Live, and our main computer. Just deal with a slow load.

It looks awsome.

And just cause you can't find something doesn't mean it sucks. Look for more than 5 second on every menu. Its different. Your not going to be a master in the 5 min you have before you leave your house.

It is probably just me, but could anybody tell me where the Guild Ladder is now, please?

They had a support ticket about that saying no that game up as suggested solutions when I asked them (a long time ago) before you set up your great FSS feeds

This is similar to the japanese web site

design and I do like it.

Hmm, when I visit the site, I get on every page a huge picture of one of the characters from guildwars ontop of the normal page, wich makes it impossible to see anything...

Im on linux , firefox.

premi3r · Feb 02, 2006, 02:44 PM // 14:44

NICE! I like the new site.

Best part about it though is that now I can access from work!! AT least for now anyway!

Anyone else noticed the transition in the background images? What I mean is, click on the navigation links from left ot right. It's a nice subtle touch.

Looks to me like you are missing Quick Time plugins, but I could be wrong.

Nobody able to tell me where the guild ladder is?

The problem is your browser is way outa date and its not reading the page right. Get yaself firefox, and then try it. It will get you the plugins you need as you load the page.

Absolutely horrible! It is now a nuisance to read the game updates; the content is just difficult to find.

Did they even try this design in something other than Internet Explorer? It is wretched in both Safari and Firefox. It is absolutely unusable in Opera. Here is a hint to the "web design" team at Arena.net: FLASH IS HORRIBLE! You guys need to read http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/.

I enjoy playing the game, but I doubt I will be visiting the web site much any more. I can't describe how bad it is.
