Flight Rising Discussion

I'm a little worried since we haven't gotten an update on what it looks like since the first preview, but hopefully things will turn out alright.

The mock-up that was made public was painful for me to look at because there were so many individual boxes. I’m really hoping that they’ve realized that not everything needs it’s own separate box, because I might not be able to look at the clan profile page without being in pain. [/quote] Same thing [/quote] Me too

It's odd to look at, sure, but as mentioned in the post, these revamps are primarily to revamp the code itself so that future edits and changes are made easier. Even if the profile looks kinda bad when it comes out, staff will be able to change it much easier! For this reason, I am choosing to be excited!

Anxious. Really hoping they changed their minds on making everything so bubbly.

[quote name="Sinnabelle" date="2022-09-30 13:11:12" ] I'm hoping like with dragon bios, you can change the vista on the profile page to match the Flight banner or whatever fancy dandy imagery is in the clan info box. I'd like my profile to be matchy but I change my forum vista A LOT. [/quote] This is pretty much my only concern, otherwise I'm really neutral to it. The clan info box looks like it might be a bit bigger, I know a lot of people would be happy to be able to have more of their bio showing w/o scrolling.

Honestly, the mockup looks way too busy for me to get excited about it. The "Recent Activity" and "Recent Forum Posts" shouldn't have multiple separate colored boxes, nor should the Comments -- it just makes the design visually messy since everything is trying to catch the eye. There is no visual flow to the mockup, I have no idea where to look first. But that's what the Suggestions forum is for, and staff is usually on-top of listening to feedback, so I can't count on the redesign looking like the mockup.

But like many others have said, it's the refractor, not the redesign, that's dropping soon. They might drop at the same time though, we don't have enough information to predict accurately right now.

[quote name="@Jhortanas" date="2022-09-30 13:56:21" ] Not 100% sure, but I think what they're releasing here is a refactor, which is almost entirely backend, and the actual revamp (i.e. the new version we saw teased before) is still to come. Welcome corrections if I'm wrong, but I don't think we'll notice any major changes with this update?
