With the introduction of SSO in the launcher, you could easily pull the characters from the account, why not add that to the "PLAY" option already.

Even in 2006 the client carried the option to via command line log on with a character of choice (even username/passwords were supported in command line!) - I get that you might have removed the username/password part - but still selecting character should never have been removed.

If you want to streamline the login flow this is the way to go, allow the selection of as much options as possible before you click PLAY - and for those that want to streamline even more - allow us command line options please.

"eve.exe /login user,pass,character" would do wonders for my flow at least.

I use junctions because of the very user-friendly and customizable scenario of being about to set up shortcuts in my Win7 start menu for each client making for an insanely fast means for launching each client w/o having to fiddle with a launcher UI. There is no substitute for such a direct way of launching multiple clients w/o any extra launcher-based overhead.

I look at the current Launcher and I am baffled on how to log into the game... until I visually ID the credential fields and the log-in button.

At the very least, please place a far greater visual emphasis onto the login credential fields and log in button.

I serious cringe at what is to come with the Launcher and opening up multiple clients simultaneously.

Troubleshooting / Bug:

Repeated attempts to launch a client via the \bin\exefile.exe w/in the past 2 hours resulted in repeated attempts by the client and updating mechanism to install some new update. But the updates kept failing (with no obvious error message) until I ran the repair.exe tool.

During tomorrow's downtime we will add 50.000 skillpoints (representing roughly a dayGÇÖs worth of intense skill training).

The only reason to log in currently is to enter the eve universe, so the play button is 100% pointless at this point. And I can go ahead and tell you, the only reason I am ever going to log in is to enter the eve universe. I don't care about eve tv, eve voice, or using the launcher to log into the forums or whatever else you guys think up to tack on.

That's something we're very aware of, we know a lot of people loved the old log-in screen for it's artistic value even if it doesn't serve a technical need any longer. And it's a question we will address. I'm not the right person to go deeper into that at this point though :)

But it's one of those things that are noted.

With the deployment of Retribution 1.2.4 and the deployment of the new launcher, we received reports internally and externally that people were unable to connect to Tranquility thanks to some misconfigured servers. While this issue was not universally experienced and over 30,000 pilots were able to log in normally before we fixed the issue, we do feel this special case does require a special thank you (for your patience) from CCP.

During tomorrow's downtime we will add 50.000 skillpoints (representing roughly a dayGÇÖs worth of intense skill training) to the character with the highest number of skill points on each active account (the presumed main). HereGÇÖs a quick guide on how to apply those skillpoints.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and we hope you can use these skill points on your adventures.

Your voices have been heard loud and clear and we've been busy taking notes so we'd like to ask you to help us move forward in this thread and keep the feedback focused and constructive. Thank you.

You are my hero. Since the changes with the launcher (which I've never liked), I'd been utterly confounded as to how to launch multiple instances from the quick-launch bar. Thank-you and have a like for your post.

CCP's motto:


If it works, break it.
If its broken, ignore it.

If I create and distribute an ad-blocker for the new marketing tool launcher, would that be considered an EULA violation?

Hi, we just deployed to TQ the new version of the launcher webpage that among other things adds the "Auto play" feature. If you see the checkbox but the client still doesn't automatically start, please clear your cache and try again

Thanks!

Adding to my list of questions:
How long do you think the warning will be when you remove bin/ExeFile?

Should we cancel our accounts now, or does your notes tell you that you entirely ****ed up for the 3rd summer in row?

Given the almost 3k angry posts over 2 official threads (+ all the unofficial), do you recognise problems with the design itself of the launcher?

If you look at customer trust in the company, do you think this adds to or subtracts from that amount of trust?

The following questions were directed at Atropos, but if you can answer it I promise not to be picky.
