OK. Now that makes sense. Kinda like how every person that starts using Photoshop uses lens flares all over the place.

Yeah. It's the fact they want to charge for this now that's making people hot and bothered about the poor quality and design of the site. I mean, I didn't care before DDI. I mean, the only way I ever found anything on the WOTC site was through links from ENWorld anyway. But if they do want to charge $15/month... it better be slick and professional.Mustrum_Ridcully said:I think the reason to address this now is because they area releasing the new edition. People excited to know more better find a site that can serve to represent the new game. People will want to get information, and when they don't find it, they will be disappointed, and this will fall back on their view of 4E.
And it's getting even more important with their goals of the DDI - the websites have to be top notch to sell this. Even if the content is great, it still needs to be accessible.
If I get a chance, I'll see if I can dig something up. Maybe I'm misremembering since it was from back in August right after the announcement, but we'll see. I am pretty sure that the Dragon and Dungeon portions are definitely temporary, however. Beyond those, the rest of the DDI, all the site really comprises is some 4e previews, which I imagine are temporary, and the minis pages (but I don't keep on news about those).JVisgaitis said:I must be retarded, because I never seen anything posted like that. I've seen them say that the DDI was temporary, maybe I just didn't equate that with the main D&D website. In any case, its something that should be fixed sooner rather than later.
I can only find the pregens from D&D Exp if I google for them inside the WOTC site.MichaelSomething said:In order to find the new excerpts, I have to go to Enworld. I can't find them on their site!

AllisterH said:So how would you change the website to make it more friendly? The thing is, WOTC's website has a lot of content so I'm not sure how much more navigation friendly it can be without expecting the user to have more of a gist of what they're looking for.
