Vassakov Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 At what point due we all just accept that the good Chapter Master Valrak is not, as he claims to be, a stout Son of Dorn but is in fact either a witch blessed by Tzeentch or an Aelderi Farseer?

RWJP Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Joe beats me to it again! According to the embedded video, this will also be merging Forgeworld in: skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I figured they would merge Forge World in. They were clearly testing the waters there with the Primarchs, etc. being available on the Games Workshop store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matcap86 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Dang it, couldn't they have waited until after the release of the last Siege of Terra LE? Now I have a new range of anxieties that there's new website shenanigans to deal with in the order process.

It's definitely more complicated than just interface if they're merging in what were previously two different stores. They must have been working towards this for years, given they tested doing some of that a year and some change ago with the 30k 2E launch, as well as testing how they would display those kits on the store.

Matcap86 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Oh god, it's dreadful. I just got in and it's the most convoluted thing! Edit I also hope that it's not done yet, because in the new releases section for Horus Heresy we now have intercessors and sternguard.

Joe Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 It's certainly something. There's bits I like, bits I don't like, and bits I'm unsure about. That said, the outright confirmation that yes, Forge World products can be delivered to your local GW is great.

RWJP Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I was able to use it a bit... Initial impressions are that I am not impressed. Navigation is awkward as the menu isn't easily accessible from within product pages and there's no breadcrumbs to make navigation easier, there's also a LOT of unused white space that makes every product listing look massive... I also didn't see any obvious accessibility options (such as greyscale, alternate font sizes etc). There's also no "Show All" option so you have to click the "See More" button a thousand times. The old GW site was clearly only designed to work properly on desktops/laptops. I feel like this new site has gone too far the other way and seems to focus entirely on being viewed on mobile at the detriment of being viewed on a regular computer. Personally, the new site feels like it's more of a catalogue than an actual functional store.

skylerboodie Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 After using the annoying filtering section to drill down before I can finally see any models, I then have to click 'Show More' eighteen times just to see all the Space Marine subcategory contents?

Honestly I think it's an overall big downgrade, stuff is way harder to find. I do not want a "HEY DO YOU KNOW WHAT WARHAMMER IS?" video/graphic in my face everytime I try to buy something in the store. No option to sort stuff. Yeah it's nice that they combined the shipping stuff from FW with regular GW but I see that as seperate (and long overdue) from the absolute mess they've made of the store. Might actually dissuade me from buying from them tbh. Special Officer Doofy, MegaVolt87 and darkhorse0607 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 The number of click-throughs is incredibly silly right now.
