Thoughts on New Waypoint?

I think it looks amazing but the lack of a proper way to show someones dedication to the site (i.e. the old ranking system) is a bit disapointing

Looking on Redeem History, is anyone else’s in a jumbled up order?

Would have expected it to be in order of date.

Also, agree that it only seems to go so far back and missing a lot of 2XP codes from the promotion last year, hopefully they are still in the system.

Its going to take some getting use to, but I’m liking it so far but my service records are very incorrect, but other than that all is good and gong to try out the mobile app soon

Its going to take a little bit getting used to, but overall it looks a lot nicer and has a better appeal to it imo

Is there a way to have a white background with black text? The contrast is too much on my eyes and it’s hard to read.

I also miss the page system. The infinite scroll is exhausting and it’s hard to know where you are in the thread. Everything looks too similar.

Very well said, and absolutely agree. With the many forums I’ve been apart of and different tiers of “rank” achieved over the years, it’s the memories that count. I actually haven’t participated in forums too much recently, but considering the fact that… well, it is, Halo… I just might stick around for old times sake. With Infinite around the corner, recently jumping back on MCC for PC and console, and a new Waypoint launch… I have this “Halo is coming back to life” feeling kicking in. Played MCC for a short while last night and the memories, joy, and heart-racing clutch moments just got me crazy hyped. :sunglasses:

Hello, Halo… it’s good to see you again.

Like the layout but not the features. All legacy stats are gone profiles are just empty now.

Also, this new forum is confusing, can’t find old posts and edit barely any profile details.
New posts are also hidden for some reason? Not cool.

I’d say it’s probably too early to pass judgment. My assumption is that this platform will evolve over the coming months.

That said, I’m pretty disappointed by what I’ve seen so far. Disregarding UI changes, I have always reviewed my Halo 5 games stats and compared against my opponents. The data available to me now is severely lacking.

Considering this forum has soo many replies, I think most everyone likes it and also find its confusing, but its new, so anything confusing or broken will be fixed of course.

Currently no. It’s a noted request though.
I’ve started work on building a custom light theme myself, should hopefully have something usable in a few days time.
[Do note that this work is outside of anything related to 343 and will only be usable on Desktop using the Stylus browser extension]

I like the dark theme more tbh so please keep it as well. Options are never bad tho.

Also it’s kinda annoying that the logo takes to the main waypoint site instead of the forum home.
I always tend to click on it by mistake.

How do you even get to your service record

It’s pretty cool. Gonna have to get used to it, as we had the last version for 7 years. Pretty good so far.

It’ll do for now till most people get used to it.

On the main page, click your avatar in the top right corner and you should see it.

I do agree that the dark theme is much better I use it on everything else I can.

Man this is pretty sick, definitely an upgrade from the previous layout.

I like the site, but I wish they kept the bio box from the original website where we could write about ourselves.

Edit: Okay never mind, I found it under the forum profile preferences - but it doesn’t appear on your actual Waypoint profile :smiley:

To be honest I have no thoughts yet and the forum is what I expected it to be. Not a fan of it by comparison to the old waypoint but I will get used to it.
