I know that you are just testing and attempting to redesign, but there has always been something that bugged me. Why are we using the colour ADBDA3? It just doesn't scream GW2 to me, that's about it. Venom20 17:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Yea, I don't know why we do use this colour. Its horrible :3. Neil's colour scheme does look a lot better. --Naut 17:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

yeh. golden colours are the way forward!--Neil • 17:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I like the one we got now. --Super Igor 18:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Igor, I seriously suggest you design a Main page based around your userpage. :D, as soon as somebody enters -EYES EXPLODE- --Naut 18:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually this is by far the best I've seen. It manages to fit the information needed without having to scroll down (for me at least), looks good and different to GWW. --Odal talk 14:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

My only problem about your Examples, Aqua is you did three external pages... Making more pages for the wiki to maintain, when it doesn't need that many... Easier with 2 externals, not to mention the admins who'd be doing the creating for the main page it's self. I'd rather give them less troubles and headaches, making it simpler and easier. Your pages just make it look like more work, even for a server to maintain not to mention load times, etc. Where as by 2 externals, you'd cut down some on the load time of having a server find an additional page that's really not necessary or needed. :-) Now that's why I did 2 externals, instead of 3.

Ariyen: When I made my original pages (in which they WERE default color, red and gold), i figured it would be better if i simply made three pages ( I'm going to tag them for deletion after this whole thing is over) and allowed to people to see the contrast without having to edit the colors...

I was talking about the "wiki" part of each page being a subpage instead of on that page. :-P silly. Ariyen 00:06, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

So you guys are taking the current layout and just making it wider? I think it's silly. Anyway, out of all I've seen so far, I like this one the most. Although I don't like the color. --Super Igor 10:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the colour. I think GW2 should have a darker appearance to it. Look at Primordus, Zhaitan, or Kralkatorrik. The colour should, IMO, have a more sinister feel. Even look at the revealed characters, this current colour just looks bubbly Venom20 13:19, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

The placing of the images is awful, Should be more or less symmetrical. However, I like the colour.--Naut 13:29, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

SIMPLY PUT: I do not like the color either that much...I want it to be more sinister looking (see Venom and SI). I just haven't found a good color yet. If anyone has a good color, please tell me and Ill test it out... :)... also, thanks for the compliments... Aquadrizzt The Weapon Master 14:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Colours are a pain eh! You can't select anything too dark because then the font behind it isn't visible and we don't want anything too light so as to make it bubbly and polite. A background of (#667777) isn't bad when mixed with a boarder of (#664455). Looks like

Well I have to go for a bit, maybe I'll play with colours later, but I have been told that I have no eye for design Venom20 19:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I like this version better than the others, but personally I wouldn't mind keeping the original page. Eive 04:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Images

Sized the Images, etc. to line up at the bottom correctly. That should work now. One being 150 then 145 then 140. :-/ Ariyen 06:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh and half of your coding is f***ed up actually. Style as you have it does not work with {| nor does some of your div stuff and images. I'm fixing all of that and reorganizing it all to LOOK better for a proposal, plus plan on a different tactic with the coding using gw1's info (some of it) I feel it all can be on the actual page without needing additional pages (as that'd complicate things with Main Page Edit, etc.) Ariyen 08:35, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Halloween

Discuss... Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 15:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

That scheme is what they used last year. Ariyen 18:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm really not liking the black boxes, makes the whole page look extremely tacky. Could just be me though. Eive 04:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I did the black because of the color schemes of the images... Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 04:22, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I thought the goal was to have multiple colors, not one. Eive 04:27, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

It might have just been me going wild on a very specific track...but I (personally) liked the idea of a dark, eerie, semi mature Halloween theme, instead of the flamboyant orange and purple (see my sig for what I mean). Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 04:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you change the black on editcopy to the green here of the profession reveal images and gw2? I think that'll help. I like that better and leave the original concept images their original color. that already imo fits a halloween theme... Ariyen 05:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
