I like it better when it looks modern and simple, but the new design isn't simple enough because lots of triangle.
Bweh
Also, not a fan of that green

Honestly? Thats not what im noticing unless you're specifically talking about the index. Thinking about it, yeah, the index could be less colorful to stay in line with the other pages on the forum, but its not a point that particulary borthers or even irritates me.
I was talking about the index. I like me some unity.

Go there and see for yourself. There are no pages, no. Just scrolling.
yeeeaah fuck that. I went there and just wondered if I missed something. This is the opposite of user-friendly, when the threads get bigger than 3 pages. Have fun clicking on this search-item thingie and then manually typing in to what post you want to skip.

Edit: apparently, clicking on the tiny arrow below the post number did the trick. Took a bit to figure that one out though, maybe I'm just too used to the pages-design.

Nope, only on Android, the page scrolling was annoying though.

Did the trick? Unless peppy actually listened to me those just jump to the first/last post.

Android - iPhone - whatever mobile, doesnt matter, the point is, this design is explicitly something that looks like its made for mobile. As such its rather out of place on desktop, but i could see myself liking the design if id be browssing on a mobile.

All in all, an unnecessary decision, since it didn't do jack shit, really.

Like I said, whoever designed that new site (even multiple people) is a talented man, but on par with a blind bum when it comes to merging different components and rationalising elements. It just looks so forcefully flashy and unintuitive that I'd rather gouge my eyes out than look at that abomination.

If you take the most beautiful legs in the world and stitch them together with the most beautiful torso of another person, the most beautiful arms of yet another person et cetera et cetera, you will NOT get the most beautiful person that ever existed; instead, you will make a Frankenstein, at best.

well yeah, thats a navigation tool that gets me right where I want to be: Where the new stuff is happening. And that with only one click, arguably even faster than with the pages-layout. Not too bad if you ask me.

I feel like someone should mention HOW FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY HUGE everything is with this new "design". Let's take a look at Granger's post on the current site, for example:



Whoa cool, you can fit more than one post on a standard 1080p screen ! But then there's this piece of shit:



Oversized shitty header, way too much space between lines, and a larger fontsize for... What reason ? Fuck. I'm not even going to get started on how godawful an idea infinite scrolling is for a goddamn forum.
Aurani
Finally we agree on something entirely.

Peppy will probably tell you "Oh you can make the page size smaller so it's a non issue"
Gumpy
"you can use the zoom feature in your browser so it's a non issue" or something is what I imagine, but way more rude.

classic peppy. Never changes.
Remember when peppy changed how skins work without a warning and insisted that it didn't change anything ingame. It took a few top lever players saying he is bullshitting before he even admitted that it did actually change things. He never fixed it though.

He probably thinks he's the next Steve Jobs tbh

you know I wonder what is better: Being dealt with in this ridiculing and condescending fashion, or getting ignored completely. At least he is reading it. Some people just don't give a shit from the get-go, but he doesn't seem to be one of these people (or else he wouldn't spend so much effort on reading and replying to you + theres no point in faking interest if you don't give a shit) - he's not indifferent. I just wish he'd handle it more like an adult, your post really deserved a better answer

I mean, I don't think you should ever expect anything else. I loved the "turn down your brightness settings" comment too. Next thing you know someone's gonna criticize the color scheme and he'll tell them to use custom CSS

To be honest, this is part of the reason why I like peppy. His responds feel less "industrial". In most free to play games when someone makes a feedback thread the responds are along the line of, "We'll forward it to the dev team" or "We'll see what we can do" and then leaves everyone hanging without further updates. Meanwhile with peppy, "fuck you, no" means... well, no.

I'm just waiting for the, "this is my forums, if you don't like it that bad then go somewhere else" respond.
Cyclohexane
Well, it'd be cool if it would ever be something else than "fuck you, no" even if that's what built this game.

To be fair, he didn't make the thread, so if I had to guess he doesn't particularly want to listen to user input.
Aurani
Probably because he himself knows how shit the whole thing is going to be, especially the unnecessarily flashy looks to bait people to hog the supporter button even more. It's all carefully planned to make him suck more money in, which I don't really give a fine fuck about, as long as he at least keeps his users happy, and by remaking the whole site into that atrocity, he's shitting on anyone with some sense and proper taste.
Cyclohexane
I don't think you can label peppy as a money-grubbing j-oh wait i can't call people that here- cause he does have standards he upholds for his website and game, like the total absence of ads, etc. And I'm not really sure how this new design ties into buying supporter either. He's made pretty apparent in public in private that he hates the current website and wants something that looks a lot more like what the new design looks like done asap.

Call him a fuckhead or a stubborn asshole and I'll agree with you anyday -- but I don't think I agree with people calling him out for cashing in.
Bweh
I do find it weird he's spreading propaganda for the new design and yet isn't open for any feedback.

Then yet again that's probably just him being really selective
IppE
Has peppy ever really been open for feedback?
Bweh
probably positive feedback
