    And What About the New Website?

    You may have heard that PantheonMMO.com is receiving a facelift. The final pages and functions will be completed this week, and then we have a short internal testing period. This is also a review period to make sure the information we have posted is accurate! So expect a new site soon! 

    Posted date / 08.05.20

    Greetings, Pantheon fans! Today we have some exciting news for you. As announced in last week's dev stream, Pre-Alpha 5 Shakeout is nearly upon us. The date for this pre-alpha phase?

     

    What happened to completed this week???

    They have been saying a new website is coming soon for 4 years. It looks like it was delayed like everything else.

    However, I believe it would be wise on VR to make sure the new website is launched by PA5 shakeout start at the latest. 

    Keep in mind this wont even be a full new website.  Apparently its going to be updated in phases.

    As Fzzl Said, internal testing is being done now. I expect it to be released to the public when PA5 begins, but thats just mho.

    Eventhough I want the new site up and available, I too feel it will be released with the start of PA5. It would be nice to have an official word about the delay/release for this though.

    I guess, the longer the time to putting up the site, the more content will be available when it is up. I know I will be judging the quality of the new site against what to expect with the game, so I am sure VR are trying to get it right. 

    Finger crossed. Continually optomistic...

    I think Ben will inform us about the current state during the next stream (this week).

    Would be a cool action to launch the new website live during a stream ;-)

    One could also ask what happened to PA5. As I recall VR said there would be an announcement complete with date this summer. While the summer is not quite over yet - that hasn't happened. Just an announcement that there would be a pre-PA5 test.

    The most frustrating thing about the website delay is the amount of pointless, depressing, negative comments it seems to prompt.

    They should stop giving any indication of when things will be ready.

    It doesn't really 'satisfy' anyone and encourages negativity when there are changes.

    We have been told when the PA5 shake out is (https://www.pantheonmmo.com/newsletter/2020_summer_update) and were told in a stream the rest of PA5 will be 'a few weeks' after, so it should be the end of September.

    Of course, they can't say exactly when, because it depends on the results of, and work coming out of, the shake out.

    We all want to know when. And we all know that it doesn't really help to know, even if they could give us exact, reliable dates, which they can't.

    It will only be updated in phases? So, the website that they release won't be a complete website? That's rough. When did they say it would be released in phases? I honestly don’t remember.

    ((and were told in a stream the rest of PA5 will be 'a few weeks' after))

    I rely on the official forums for information so since only the shake out was announced here I assumed that there was no official announcement for the actual PA5

    I assumed they decided to just line up the launch of the website with the release of PA5 Shakeout.

    Except when they don't give any information the "ded gaem" memes start.

    This is the reality of modern game development. There is no way they can win.

    Ive been waiting for this question to come up.  Devs did say the new web site would not include a new forums section.  All we can do is wait patiently. As we have been doing.

    Well, exactly, so they may as well avoid the effort of trying to give dates/schedules/timelines.

    They can, however, keep showing progress, which they have.

    Then, of course, even though what they show is significant and they tell us they intentionally don't show us more than the tip of the iceberg, people still complain about lack of progress...

    As you say, they can't win.

    I don't remember hearing that, either. Pretty sure it's just the forum that won't be updated and they have always been up-front about that.

    There will be sections of the wesite that will be fleshed out more as time goes by, I seem to remember they said, but the way the new website will work it will be easy for them to build it up once it is in place.

    I didnt just pull it from this air.   This is from the News section, and Posted date / 08.05.20.   I have listened to every stream and it does not say we will be stalling and putting out stuff in sections.   It said it would be done in a week.   It does not anywhere say it will be released to coincide with the PA5 shake out.   It was them dropping the ball plain and simple

    You’re missing out a major component of that statement.

    “and then we have a short internal testing period.”

    I am hopeful, and frankly expect...to see the new website tonight in the 8/27 Dev Stream, hopefully its ready to go.

    @Jaced (completely tongue-in-cheek bard humor). They were going to release the new website today but apparently have gone over their monthly quota of exclamation marks. Perhaps next month.
