Awesome job LH & crew!!
Very sharp, very visual, and a GREAT amount of actual, useful content!
I did notice you left out the Epic ATs...something to add later?
Oh, and tell me you have a better shot of Manticore to use for his Signature Heroes header. I swear it looks like he's just taken a sip of mint julep and is telling the world, "I feel FABULOUS!"
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

My work comp doesn't seem to like the new website. It freezes up IE.

Can you open IE and go to the Help menu item and then to the "About Internet Explorer" item from that drop down menu and list for us which version of IE you are browsing the website with?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'll do one since I'm getting the exact same behavior:
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.080814-1233

One simple solution to fix problems in IE: . . . Download Firefox and quit using IE

Hm. While IE6 is no longer the current version, it still has a substantial installationn base. Something to look into to see if it can be fixed, Lighthouse.
Out of curiosity, are those of you running IE6 able to view Tabula Rasa's website successfully?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah I can access the TR site just fine.
And I can access other pages like the Issues page Lemur_Lad linked to but then going to the front page freezes me up again.
It looks amazing LH!

Among other things, many corporate sites are still running IE6. At work I don't have a choice, and they won't be updating the browser for a number of months still.
(And the new site completely locks up IE6 for me too. 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)

Just a note, when I typed in www.coh.com just now, it sent me to the old site.

Points to the new site for me. Either they work *very* fast, or you've still got the DNS for the old site in your cache.

Ah yes...now it works. >.<
I'm having issues with the Menu. Not all the choices show up and its seems somewhat random which ones do.
Also, apart from Home, Support or Buy Now selecting a menu choice does nothing.
Like other people having problems am Using IE 6.0.2900.

LH it looks great, but whenever I go to the homepage it takes me to the old page. In fact the only way to get to the new page that I've found is to poke around until theirs a bum link, then it sends me to the new sites Page Not Found page. 
The new site looks really sharp and contemporary. I like it! Although I wish the "pick a side and join the fight" video on the home page was MUCH longer. As it stands, it's pretty weak.

I haven't had a problem and I've clicked everything I can click. I'm using IE 7. So it's just 6 that's being a <badword> for ya.
Hope that helps.
Needs some of the features from the European site.
Namely (no particular order):
"Tip of the Day"
"City Sights"
"Hall of Fame"
What does things better:
UK's Game Guide
While the new US website is a bit more graphically appealing, the UK's site is just more informative...
Edit:
I [u]do love[u] the US's new Patch notes/Issues pages though.

It's cool. When you named all the contacts in the zones you missed the Arachon's contact. 
for Mercy Island.
Pretty nice.
Odd ball collection of generic toons on first look of 'Pick a side and fight' thing.
Merged CoX icons look cool.
The iconic heroes and villains look way better.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Website is killing IE please help!

In the worst case, most of the people running into this should be A-OK after their next reboot if they don't know how to clear their DNS cache. If they haven't tried to go to www.coh.com since the last time they started their computer up they should just go straight to the new site without any issues.
very nice job dev team!. This sight looks great, and those new background type pics are very nice. Got me to use it

IIRC that video was from the original rollout of veteran's rewards, so they were using a bunch of different characters to showcase different vet reward costume parts. Hence the oddball-ness

It looks like the update was to bring CoH's website in line with that of Tabula Rasa -- one company, one look. To me, the main differences are largely cosmetic -- TR's site has little flags in the top right for the international sites, CoH's doesn't (probably an oversight -- there should be a link to the EU stuff up there); CoH's middle column is wider and right side column is skinner than TR's; TR's site has a search field in the left column.
But the two sites look /very/ similar now.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hm, yeah, pointed out they do.
TR's design looks much better though, because of the better
eye for smooth color-blending, transparency, and graphic
sizing.
Really, CoH looks like something I would've done with basic
HTML back in 1998 right now. =/
