Hello.
As the title suggest. Hopefully we can get this back please.
It was very useful and handy and IMO convenient and nicely setup.
Thanks. |

I agree, the news feed was kind of useful. Found myself re-logging at times to catch a bit of news I missed.
CSM, could you nudge this along? Perhaps something like a news ticker like the eveonline.com mainpage has. The risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built and we want to keep that (infact, this is much more representative of the consensus opinion within CCP). |

I agree, it was useful and would like it back also. But I think CCP like their old tech web launcher too much and so think the answer may be no.

This is actually something that I discussed with Team Kuromaku when the character selection screen was in the works.
It was decided in the end that the new design for the character selection screen wouldn't include news, because it has been designed with the future in mind to display other things and be themed for each expansion.
The News is available through RSS feed, and on the community portal, so there's no real reason to log out and back in again to check if you've missed something.
It's entirely down to Team Kuromaku whether they want to put the news back in or whether it clashes with other design ideas that they have for the character selection screen, however from a Community perspective I'll be watching this thread with interest to see what the rest of the feedback is like.

This response bothers me a little. While the character screen looks tons better than the old one, it does so at the cost of functionality.
As an example, I tried to log in just now. I looked over all the information available, and found that I could not see what I ship I was currently in, nor could I see where I was located. At the bottom of the screen was an ad banner for a PLEX sale, and when I closed that by clicking on the X in the corner did the missing information "mysteriously appear".
This does not bode well for Team Kuromaku. Are you seriously trying to tell us they could not create a new character selection screen that could display all the same information as the old one (plus more detailed account subscription information. minus the newsfeed) AND an ad banner at the same time? I'm using a 1680x1050 resolution, there is plenty of "real estate" available on-screen.
A suggestion, would it kill anyone if the EvE logo (and expansion name) would be located to the far top left or far top right instead of taking up valuable space at the top center, then moving all the character boxes a little upwards so that there's space for all the information PLUS an ad banner? (Asking to remove the ad banners completely would naturally be the best suggestion, but we all know that's not going to happen.) |

Just as an idea, Falcon, rather than going with the full-on side panel you had before, I'd recommend a news ticker. Just scrolling headlines across the bottom of the screen, short blurbs, EVE market tidbits....Basically, go watch your Quantum Rise trailer. THAT thing rolling across the bottom of the screen. Stick it on the char select screen, with clickable links that open into a webpage.

i fear that this is the intended use for the 'space' on the new screen... Advertising!
Seeing as we nearly blew up the game after the potential pay-to-get-extra-stuff fiasco, I see some sneaky paid advertising slipping in. It will start fairy Eve'ish, Plex or Buddy offers.... then will come PizzaHut and Coke adverts!!!
Please, I really want to be wrong here!
