- Log off button removed
-Historically the log off button hasn't functioned as a log off feature; the button used to simply close the current Client, and start a new one on the login screen. Since it is our goal to remove this login screen, the log off button doesn't make sense. There is some design that needs to be done here, since the intent of most people clicking the button is to take them back to either a) the character selection screen so that they can switch characters or to the login screen to change users. -With user login moved into the EVE Launcher, we need to follow up on the release of the new EVE Launcher by adding in either the ability to switch characters or to relaunch the EVE Launcher and switch users, or supply a way to improve this flow. We're aware of this and are planning accordingly.
On this, I can see why you did it and it makes sense. However, logging in seems to be a bit more of a chore now. Here are my suggestions:
First, is there a reason we need to confirm that we want to log in with said character? I may have missed it but I enter my username and password then hit Login...then I have to hit Play again? Why? If there is a reason for this, I can be fine with it but we did it in the past so not sure why we need this new system. Again, might have missed the reasoning.
Second, with respect to logging in a different character, can't we just get the ability to log directly into the client without going to character selection? I'm sure there is a reason we cannot or this would have been done already but in other games you can just log in directly to the character you want to play and go from there. With the news and other items on that screen being moved (mostly) to the launcher, there isn't really much use to the character selection screen is there? Biomassing a character or redeeming items, which you can do in game as well, are the only two things I can think of. Well outside of making or selecting a character.
These two things would make all this launcher hate go away imo. Put in username, password...select character (of course you need to log in once to get the name saved to then use later)...login...boom you are in game. I think 99% of users want to do this...or am I wrong?
Anyway, thanks for the updates. Maximze your Industry Potential! - Get EVE Isk per Hour! |
