No you didn't. I've checked 3x to make sure and not finding it.

Howdy.
Our stuff is starting to get enabled on Singularity now.

Please give us feedback on the (still WIP) character selection screen.

Thanks.

I dont see anything new about the selection screen. Was it removed from the latest build?

In DX11 mode I get just a black screen. No character selection is visible on SiSi. Mouse changes cursors, but it isn't clear whether or not I'm able to actually click on anything.

In DX9 mode I get the old selection screen.

Is this expected? I filed a bug, but wasn't really sure what was or wasn't working.

(Using a GTX 560 w/ the nVidia WHQL driver released last week)

IMO there is too much red in this picture. I don't mind the background, but having the character selection itself following the same pattern makes it look TOO MUCH monochrom.

Also, is there any plan to have a 3D background or will you just put a wallpaper behind and pretend you've done an amazing work ?

We agree that the colour is currently too strong in the current version so this will be toned down before release.
Also, the UI colouring will change per expansion so it won't always be red.

As for the background, it will remain a static image to save on load times but a bunch of polish, including animations has still to be introduced.

bring back the click on portrait to log in like it is now.

any news regarding this:

"there is an issue ith it if you use 2 monitors, the ttons are centered, meaning the separation of the two screens land right in the middle of it.

the green line is where the switch is between my two screens: http://s21.postimg.org/sn4urdcp3/split.jpg


it would be nice if it was aligned to the UI wich you can offset already

please make this affected by this setting: http://s2.postimg.org/6l244xgt5/camera_offset.png "

because it is odd that there is so much unused space on one screen just to see a toon cut right in the middle ^^

thanks

And please remove the login button. Dubble-click does not cut it. Totaly agree here.

One click to make it active and one click to log in already are two clicks...

The new character selection screen doesn't display the length of your skill queue, quite important information, more so than the skill in training (which is nice nonetheless). To avoid redesigning, maybe put the training skill in the same box on mouseover or the skill queue length on mouseover?

having Aura say your name, Uhm.. that will take a while to get working.
;) would require a different system, so the voice would actually change, and that would probably require five full time jobs in just replying to all the complaints from that :D

That too, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible - and EVE players tend to have out of the ordinary names as well as combinations that would be impossible to mix without it sounding like two separate recordings. It could (COULD!) be done with synthesis, but again, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible and if it didn't sound terrible, that synthesis algorithm for voicing would be worth quite a lot of money.

We've now implemented the single click log in as well.
It'll hit Sisi soon.

Just to be clear, that's 1 click to select the character, and 1 more click on them to enter.
(Double click still functions as well)

We won't be removing the 'Enter EVE' (or as it should be: 'Enter New Eden') button though.

We're in talks about this now regarding how to display it correctly.

Would it be possible to always have your chars in the same order? As it is now, every time I try to log in, I have to look at all three characters to see which one is the one I want to use. Even though this takes just a second, it would be easier if the characters were always in the same order and I could click the right one just by memory.

Is there a particular design decision behind shuffling the characters around every time I log in? I could sort of understand the last character used being selected (as in TQ now), but I logged into Sisi now and the last character I played was at the end of the list.

Yup, we're looking into fixing that as well.

We'll be implementing the most recently used characters to the left hand side soon.

Shouldn't the placement of the characters remain consistent, regardless of who was used last? I think the character shuffle makes sense currently, because the placement is one large "on top" and two smaller bottom portraits, giving emphasis to which one was used last. However, given the "three across, all the same size" model, it would make more sense to keep the portrait where it is statically, or at a minimum give people the option to have (or not to have) the portraits shuffle around.
