its just one big shopping site now

were too many people compaining that they couldnt find the online store section?

i think its a blatant push for sales
with all the articles having direct references with prices and pics

Its a giant store. *sigh*

Maybe it's just me, but I go to these sites for info, not ads. I want to know about the C'tan, not how pricey the Nightbringer is.

Run time seems to be ok for me. Yes it definately has an emphisis on sales, but the over all look of it is better. Not so dark and mysterious as it was. I wish they would include the feature to have the menus automatically drop down when hovering over them. That whole having click 5 times with in about 1" of each other to get to the Apoc datasheets has to go.

Give it some time and I am sure that they will have more meet on there, at least I hope so. Just remember that GW is a buisness so of coarse getting the store part of it up and running should be there top priority. Now if they continue to not have good articles and if they don't update the Black Gobbo every week, that is when we can revolt and start sending protest emails to them, but give them some time.

My two cents,
Servo

it takes my poor PC forever to load anything on the new US website... i needed about 20 minutes to find out about the various events going on at games days this year!>.<
overall i'm not too impressed... as pointed out it's really nothing more than 1 giant store. i'm sorry guys, but the US opperation is the problem that's dragged half the company down with it! (the US HQ's couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag!)

this new site just seems to me to be an attempt to get as many extra sales as possible...

cheers!

I think it is slow, amateurish, ugly and has too many dollar signs in it.

Well, I dont care much for it, but I did find the mutation sprue from the old CSM box, whooohoo! Doomrider makes a comeback? Weird. I spit on it though, too commercial, no character whatsoever.

Not to impressed, I registered and waited for a day to receive a confirmation email which never showed. After resending about a dozen times, still no confirmation email.

I have checked my email filters for both of my addresses that I used and everything is good on my end.

The total reworking of the Bitz section is disappointing. So I get my bitz from ebay or The War Store.

I also prefer the way the old site was. It was faster to load, did notice they put the Steel legion back up for sale.

a lot of the pricing in the online store is wrong at the moment - especially when you use the different currencies(i.e. £ instead of default $) and only the symbol changes, not the actual price.

I think it sucks. I can't find black gobbo and i can't find the news sections.

Black Gobbo to me was the only thing worth going to the website for.

It's super-slow for me, though I'll admit it's easier to get to the sales page and the folder style +/- for varous army's is a bonus. Bit of advice for those who hate it - just go to the UK site. It hasn't changed.
