Thoughts on New Waypoint?

Not going to lie, going to miss my old ranking. But this will do for now.

I like some things but others I don’t.

I’m just wondering why the website acts completely differently depending if you’re on the “home page” or not. I would like to be able to edit my profile regardless of if I’m on the main page or not… Not as that matters anyway because no one can see it… :expressionless:

I’ve starting to notice alot of older stuff, such as badges and Spartan Companies, have been removed. I hope they make a return! I am using mobile which might be why I’m having these issues…

Just need time to get used to it, but it looks good so far, kinda sucks spartan Companies were removed

I almost forgot those were a thing.

One of the main wishes I have with this website is that the forum would be better integrated with the main website itself by being able to read a users service record by clicking on the username.

At this time, the experience from the forum and the main website feels a bit disjointed.

I really do enjoy the Black and Dark Blue background design, it’s what I usually use for my text editing software so it feels right at home for me to use. Going to miss the old Waypoint but this looks like a worthy successor so far.

This, right here. I feels like there’s a wall between the two and it can be difficult finding your way between. It makes me wonder if it’s just difficult to modify Discourse or something, because I’ve seen this happen on other sites that use it.

The new waypoint feels more futuristic, I am really enjoying it so far. The Legacy Service Record is not showing up correct for me. Is anyone else having this issue. Not a big deal

Thank you! I wish it was it all together like the old one. I don’t see any HW2 stats either. Is it a bug?

seems like legacy stats are bugged, Halo 2 works but no Halo 3 or Reach stats for me.

pretty slick. love the new color pallet

as much as i like the new darker and easier on the eyes design aswell as the nice and fluientcy of the site. one thing i do miss is profile customisation. i wrote a bio that i worked hard on and now its gone. so that saddens me. hopefully they will add bios back in

My wish is that changes will be made in order to make a more integrated experience between the forums and the main website.

Something else to add to this point is that an integrated experience between different aspects of a game is something that can define the difference between something good and awesome. The part that the most of the Halo games feels like a integrated experience is also one of the parts that most of the Halo games has succeeded at. The same principal do also apply to many other aspects like websites and literature.

I like the new look, but can’t help but notice that games other than MCC and Infinite don’t appear in the “Games” tab and i hope that this will only be a temporary problem with the site

Pretty good so far. Things look more compressed and not as spread out. I like it.

Seems decent to me but shame about the old rank system from old Waypoint. I’ve also noticed the website does seem to struggle with loading some parts of the website and it’s odd that there are restrictions on long term users being counted as new users since seems a bit confusing since seems there counting long term users as new ones. :thinking:

I disagree with this. I personally don’t find using the ‘@’ symbol intuitive at all. I’ve never understood why it’s used even in Social Media. I see no reason why simply beginning to type a name shouldn’t bring up a list of usernames in the same way typing ‘@’ does here. One of those things where I get to quietly grumble to myself when I see it.

Shouldn’t you be higher in that list? Don’t they know who you are?

So far it looks pretty. Will take some time to get used to though.
