hey guys. with PI in such demand, folks are crazy if they dont run PI on alt characters. 3 accounts, 9 PI toons and having to log in and out all the way is a pin.
proposal- exit to character select screen.
for some reason, switching back and forth has been jamming my loader up and it fails to load my character. so, with exit to character select sitting beside exit game, it would keep me logged onto my account, but allow me to switch to another toon quickly.
unless ccp is patting themselves on the back counting the ammount of log ins (metrics), this shouldnt be a difficult change at all. and if they are, its a false reading because im playing 1 account...just hastled by switching between toons. not trying to bash anyone here..just propose an idea. |

If you want to maximize your AFK isk collection, you should have to deal with switching the characters.
As far as your launcher locking up, you should try letting your computer actually finish closing out the client before starting another.
Oh, and since you didn't bother to look up the other 4,825,217 times this has been suggested, you didn't see the explanation that's been put down every single time about how, due to the way the client interacts with the server, it is a very difficult change.
This has actually been implemented several times over the years, but only lasts a couple months before it causes issues that make CCP remove it again.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.
Hello, Mr Carebear. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

It was a slight exaggeration, albeit not by that much. A simple usage of the search function provided in the upper right portion of the webpage will provide links.
As I said, CCP implements it, it lasts for a month or two, then it goes away. No announcement it's there, and no announcement it's gone. This leads me to deduce that it keeps breaking, otherwise CCP'd announce it since it gets asked for about every two weeks. If you've only played off and on, you probably missed it.

Apparently it was very unstable. The way Eve is coded makes it an enormous effort to code the ability to go from the game back to the character screen. The closest they can do is make the game close the client and then open a new client which is the same thing you would be doing now with two mouse clicks.
It was reasoned that the large amount of manhours and money that would have to go into this. Was better being spent on other features in the game. I agree.
The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I think your idea is a very good one, but of course as noted by other people here, if it's going to require exorbitant amounts of time and energy to program then its most unfortunately a dud.
Trust me though I know exactly the pain of logging in and off a lot. I switch between my 6 characters/2 subs a lot and during shorter sessions that several minutes to online the next toon seems wasteful, even though in reality it's only like 2 minutes tops. |

Really?
PI is by far one of the most boring parts of the game. EVE is about fun, not grinding. PI is the EVE equivalent of dailies in other MMOs and should be treated as as big of a plague.
The solution isn't to make PI easier, the solution is to remove the AFK isk generation it gives and force players to actually do some sort of minigame to earn ISK from PI.
Until that kind of change happens, I will never do PI...I work enough for my job, I don't want to work in a video game also. |

CCP themselves said it was not a worthwhile dev time investment because too much of the code would have to be changed for the very little gain player would get out of it. |
