New Mogstation design

I like the updated front-end on the Mogstation, should help a little bit to navigate for new players I reckon but still ways to go imo.

I would loved to see a more automated interaction when we buy the game and expansions where we don't have to enter codes. That's one thing I miss from Battlenet.

What is so confusing? I think it's cleared now with everything in one page instead having to click around a bunch.
Like before to find retainer services or item code you had to click around until you got to a overview page.

Sounds more like you being used to something and have a preference rather than it being confusion.

It's ugly. Change it back.

It's way more vague and confusing with way too much wasted white space all over the place. The previous version was nice and compact and conveyed all of its information easily and concisely, often using different colours to draw your eyes to important graphs and charts. But now that it's all just bloody monochrome and very clearly designed for mobile it looks awful.

I'd rather see a dark mode but the old one wasn't much better design-wise imo.
I'm all for a simplified UX but I'm guessing many here who are veterans going to hate it out of preference/used to the old design.

The colors aren't great, the yellow (is killing my eyes) with the grey doesn't match.

Honestly I just hope they fix their system so it's easier to pay the sub, you have no idea how broken the old site could get at times. It took me 2 years to finally get a Visa Card to work on it.

You're a millennial sweety, not a boomer.

And yeah I guess it's Okay. Depends how it is to create a brand new account. When I signed up for mine I very nearly gave up it was so confusing.

I'm not a boomer, and I'm 50. ((X-Gen is a thing, all of ya'all forget about us though :( ))

Portion of it is still in maintenance for me. Personally I think it's fine need to get used to the new design. Guess they want to have it and the store having the same feel.

This seems a bit dangerous to me, so close to the [Back] button

I like the simplicity a lot better. It's nice having a side menu and not have to kinda dig around for stuff. But like others have said, too much white space. A night mode would be rad.

Oh I do, I been around since FF11 days so having to deal with POL (PlayOnline Viewer) on a dialup to add your parents credit card was a different level of pain.
I had to switch bank like twice to even get mogstation to accept the cards.

When it works it works fine but when you run into errors, SE is terrible at assisting and just blames the bank.

Hopefully you get a confirmation before.... lol

But I would agree, better change place with the buttons or make it in a different color maybe.

You might have a point, that could be it since they moved the store part to it standalone website.

Do I prefer it to be organized instend of one page yes but its also more confusing to locate things on one page then a well organized multi pages like it was

Ohh, it seems they listened to Asmongold. He told them that the mogry station is very confusing. And it is very hard to give SQEX money. :)

I like the new design and i find it is way better than the old one. :)

But one thing i do not like: the mogry station is still very slow. Gold standard are 200 ms response time. :) :)

Cheers

The design is a lot cleaner, and navigation is easier now since everything is on the side instead of hidden behind multiple clicks to find what you're looking for.
However, it desperately needs a dark mode. That pure white and bright yellow can be a bit blinding at night.

I wish they would finally add the ability to link Steam accounts to a service account, so I don't have to manually type in the expansion keys.

Tough luck chuck. They hate DRK as a whole. The probability of a DRK theme overlay is rather small.

Doubt SE would want to maintain two versions. That'd be a pain for any DEVOPS.
Better get used to it.

I don't like it. I far prefer the other. It felt more professionally designed. I really do not like this new look at all.

It took me all of 3 seconds to figure it out. I don't see the issue here.

It's basically the same options but bigger.
It feels dumbed down, tbh. Maybe it's better for touch screens but pls I'm using a computer SE.

People generally dislike change, even if the change makes things better.

I personally like the new layout. It's an improvement over the old layout. It would be nice if Square added a toggle so that people could choose the layout they like best.

You can't really say now how much crysta you need for retainers as its only option is to buy directly without a confirmation/overview window that showed the partial price for the remaining subdays.

I think that's what they did because it looks great on my phone.
