Bring back the old forum. : Crysis

Crytek - please give us a decent forum. This isn't working.

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 4:27 am

I agree, the way this forum is laid out gives me a headache.

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 4:04 am

Thats some real constructive criticism right there.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:43 pm

yes is madness ... Thread are written with the same title, and is not possible to correct the sentences

Guys give them a chance, as they have already stated they will be working on the site and adding features to how WE want it. Saying what you don't want will get us nowhere. If you give good constructive criticism then they will take it into mind when making changes.

Well - if they (whoever designed this dark, unreadable imitation of a "forum") had bought a good book about user interface design and useability, they wouldn't have used red on black or grey on black as main colors... just to name the two biggest shortcomings of the forum, apart from missing threading or the much too small font size default.

Just because it "looks cool" as many users stated here, it is not good.

BTW, where is the "search" button?

There isn't one.

Hey guys, give them a chance! Don't forget what the video said. What we want, they'll put in. So just keep on posting and say what you want to be in the new forums and they'll do what they can to put it in! No, I don't work for CryTek, although I'd like to!

I love the colors! The text isn't that small either. Anyone who is complaining about small text must have bad eyes. The usability for me is great, the layout works perfectly, and the website is very fast. I really don't have any complaints besides what they are fixing (accounts, edit, and what not).

You may not like it, but really, get use to it until Crytek get something done.

I like this layout, the old one was just crap in my opinion. Although the layout of the forum was decent, I just never liked the design of it.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 8:30 pm

Lol, I love the newbies saying how wonderful it is. Yeah, you'll be gone as soon as the next best thing comes out, just like last time. When we had nothing but me and 20 other people posting on these forums just a week ago, they were good. Those are the forums that were workable. I don't even bother posting here anymore, its just screwy.

If you are looking for a good Crysis forum to post on that is actually a "forum", head on over to the Incrysis or Crymod forums. Thats where a lot of us "old timers" from C1 are posting.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:24 pm

Well, go there then, we don't care about you anyways. At the end of the day, the old gamesas was barely this active.

Also, for your information, I was here before as well, and I'm part of Crymod.

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 12:37 am

this new forum is a EPIC FAIL!!!!

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:29 am

only empty black and red redign......?????

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:36 am

i do not even want to think about the crysis2 game if the web site svcks whenever they promised to be more userfriendly..
even i cannot find my comments later on cuz there is no search button even ..
sad

I agree...specially the font size. I haven't got perfect eyes and I believe quite a few people also have problems reading the posts (doesn't look like there's not enough room for a bigger font). As for looking cool, it can look cool and be useful at the same time, but I believe this one just covers the first bit.

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:13 am

Gotta admit finding font size wee bit small, but being fiendishly clever, i just pressed that funny magnify glass thingy at bottom of screen, lmao, it actually got bigger all .
OK now I'm guessing this mite be some kinda rough draft fer now, Cervat Yerli himself did state that they would seek to improve on it given time and constructive comments, staff would be looking in frequently, and they intended to do the best for us all, some of the above comments are not quite so constructive, give em time people plz,

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 7:41 pm

Well, hopefully, they will realize that this is not working well, and we can get a real forum again. Till then, I'll probably be posting mostly at InCrysis and Crymod which have normal forums.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 1:21 pm

They wanted it to be like little post-it notes on a bulletin board, just like their "the wall video", I get it.

But it's not very practical, it should have a standard listing of topics (like every other forum used) and maybe across the top they could have the squares cycling through current discussion topics.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 6:10 pm

@Kuro6 yep, agree, I love da Crymod and got lots o help an stuff there, defo more the norm, but do plz keep lookin in to see the changes as they happen it might end up being better for all, @Danderdog I figure eventually that any suggests like thatwill get an airing, but i also think a whole bunch of people have started posts that didnt need to be, as something near to two thirds of topics were allready answered in openings and posted links, news, and stuff, so this has allready become lets say prolly bit hard to keep ordered, and improve on all at same time. and then those who simply want the beta key, and those who want only the freebies, and so on, I would just be well happy to be playing the game, but I know I gotta wait, and I damm sure know we gotta give em a chance to catch up, sure gunna b worth the wait :-)

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:07 pm

I don't know what the old forum looked like but this forum does svck hard.
The traditional forum layout is the best by far and as they say " if it ain't broke why fix it ". This layout is severely annoying and with the fonts so small it gives you a headache to read it.

» Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:32 pm

@BrianSLA, > points again to tha magnify thingy bottom of page, workin ok for now for me, but got tha same hedache, still willin to wait n see what happens<

» Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:45 am

What Magnify thingy ? Is it part of Windows or this forum ? And there should NOT have to be a magnify thingy it should be easily readable and not small fonts. I am on a lot of forums and this is by far the worst. If it wasn't a official forum of one of my two favorite games ( HALF LIFE being the other ) I wouldn't be here.
