New Website feedback

[Valkenr]

Looks nice.

Account linking needs some work. The paizo side seems to only want me to create an account, it should be able to link to an existing goblinworks.com account.

[Valkenr]

And it could use a link to the forum.

[KotC Nymerias]

I do like what you have done with the new design of the site. You really stepped up the polish.

I haven't tried the linking process because of all the confusion I've seen. I am waiting till I hear an all clear to give it a try myself.

I agree that a link to these forums would help connect new people with the thriving community here. Gives more life to the game.

[Dorgan Berkham]

I was looking at the shop, and no items have descriptions of their characteristics (or at least I wasn't able to find them).

[Ravenlute]

I would call the current state of the website 'in progress'.

Yes, when you click on one of the pledges it goes immediately in your cart, without showing any description of what you are buying first.

Some feedback for the devs:

I was able to link my account from Goblinworks.com to paizo and create a UN & PW for my 2nd kickstart. My 1st kickstarter still seems to want me to do the same which is a bit weird...

Maybe you're sorting that out already but thought I'd mention the observation. I've not been able to log in using the linked a/c yet however to finally add.

In general the site is much improved. I still think maybe the sandbox/features descriptions are a bit microscoft word in presentation instead of a nice media presentation + description which could improve it.

But it's slowly getting there and looking forward to the map being added.

[Alexander_Damocles]

My accounts are now linked! Well done, GW!

[Lhan]

Mine too! Good job.

[T7V Wexel Daventry]

I was able to link my account as far as the Paizo side showed but on the GW side, when I log in, I get under Enrollment: You are not yet enrolled as a Goblin Squad Member. So it looks like even though Paizo thinks it linked the data, the account on GW does not. :(

Other than that the updates are nice. I'm sure a lot more will be coming shortly though.

The same situation here. I am a "Guild Buddy Invite" if that matters.

I am in this boat now as well. Before I was stuck by the "registered on goblinworks.com first issue" but that seems resolved. So progress!

[CBDunkerson]

I too had the problem from registering on goblinworks.com first, but now everything seems to be working. I linked my accounts from the paizo.com pledge tool and when I go to the shop on goblinworks.com it now has a big 'Thank You' box at the top and the selection of things to buy has been adjusted to remove several things I already have (e.g. Alpha enrollment)... implying that it has access to the data from the paizo.com pledge tool.

I don't see anything on goblinworks.com saying that I am now a member of the 'goblin squad', but (unlike others) I don't see anything saying I'm not.

[Harad Navar]

Unfortunately, I am still not linked. I have to make spaghetti for supper tonight anyway, so I can wait.

[Banesama]

Just checked. My account is linked now. Much appreciated.

[Bigmancheatle]

Website looks good, still needs a little more polish and links to the forums.

As far as linking my account, Paizo says I need a claim code, but has me listed as a Buddy for PFO.

We are working on a solution for the buddy issue on our end, expect an official announcement sometime soon.

[ArchAnjel]

I too would like to see a more detailed description of a particular item on which I have clicked before it gets added to my cart.

Thank you, I appreciate the fast reply!

I cant even get the website to confirm my email address... just tells me my link is no longer valid.

Actually, I never got an email saying the site was up. Did anyone else?

Copy.

Got it linked, did it from the kickstarter link here. Did not know that.

I may be misinformed but I was under the impression we did not want to open the proverbial floodgates with an email until we worked out the inevitable kinks of the new systems.

[Pax Bringslite]

And that would solve that question. Right well. Sorry Taylor. :)

And the gates that have been opened are much smaller than the ones that would have been opened by a mass annoucement. :)

Always happy to help and my apologies if I sounded snippy before. :}

We are working through issues as we are made aware of them so please do point out anything that seems strange or unintuitive as it may be a bug. I thank y'all for the patience as we tune the new tools.

One comment:

My Crowdforger Buddy tried to link his account from Paizo to GW and didn't seem to have an option to do so on the Paizo side. He's going to hold off a bit while things are tweaked, but I wanted to point it out. Thanks!

Yea, we are aware of the problem and are taking steps to rectify the situation. Unfortunately there will likely be a delay before we have an official answer to this issue.

Also I do feel the need to point out that the idea of 'Lone_Wolf' having a buddy makes me chuckle (no offense meant of course).

[Fafryd]

Is the linking working for people who signed up AFTER the Kickstarter? I have nothing in my "pledge drives"; but do have it in my "order history"

And yes, that is a funny thing - it keeps folks on their toes ;)

I have the same problem it appear we just have to be patient and wait.

After linking my accounts, it's telling me I haven't enrolled as a Goblin Squad member; I got the $35 level in the second Kickstarter and I've also done the $100 once the Goblin Squad Store went live.

[Ryan Dancey]

The data from Paizo about activity in the store has not yet been reconciled with our store. So if you did things in the Paizo.com store outside the Fulfillment Tool, we won't reflect that yet. We will, but we haven't reached that point yet.

[Tyncale]

I noticed a spelling error on this page: economincal

At Player settlements it sais

Quote:

will act as the foundation for the River Kingdoms economincal and political landscape.

[Ryan Dancey]

@Tyncale thanks I'll get that fixed asap

[AvenaOats]

GJ on the "About Pathfinder Online" summarizing the game's core features. That's a big improvement imo.

The store now shows descriptions of each item on the 'shopping cart' page and a link to remove them if it wasn't what you thought.

[AvenaOats]

I think one of the big differences between Themepark and Sandbox mmorpgs is the "combat" vs "non-combat" skills that players can choose ie many different forms of interaction with the game and other players.

Perhaps some form of making this apparent/obvious would be good at some stage. It details it in the features section more in terms of roles. But perhaps that distinction can be made more obvious somewhere/somehow?

Possibly when you can connect pics with features eg pic of building skill/building being used in a settlement etc.

One of the differences in PFO's approach appears to be instead of:

1. Sandbox => Choose a random list of skills to enjoy: Fishing, Hand-Gliding, Chopping Wood: You choose!
2. PFO => Here are a list of activities that are useful to a group that cover a wide range of inputs/interactions eg gathering/harvesting and buiding/running an operation and working on defence or attack or trade for the organization.

Seems to be a different logic to sandbox skills/interaction on offer. The former is more experiental, the latter more part of a link in a chain of player interactions co-dependent on each other.
