Interesting that you can't implement this. Blizzard (WoW) has been doing just that for 9 years. 10 characters per server, a one key exit to the character selection screen and back in game with a different character AND selecting new servers to boot if you so desire. I am sure YOU have seen it as many others here have used it at one time or another, and it is not like WoW's characters and amount of crap they have tied to each character including where they last logged off is any less than EvE's ... well I guess you can see why we wonder why you haven't implemented a similar system over just ONE server with far less characters. |

Then, if I want to manage 3 characters (and I do ), I can have 3 *shortcuts*. That still saves clicks vs. using the switch-account feature.
THIS! Ten times this!
The current account selection of the launcher is a step back from what we had before if you want to select a different account. The character selection dropdown is not hotkey-friendly. Before I had two game installs, one for either account (still easy with just two accounts).
Quote:At that point, it'd also be nice to have the launcher close on play (maybe a checkbox next to the auto-play checkbox?).
Well, I usually keep the launcher open, in case I want to switch character. Then I just close the game and restart it from the launcher. But if I'd have a commandline option to select account, that's a small extra step.

What about "whole fucktons of code would have to be re-written" do you not understand? WoW was probably written with the functionality in mind and EVE wasn't. Design flaw on CCP's part back in 2003 maybe, but like Karkur said, not something that is easily fixed now without taking the code throughout the entire game apart.

An option to lock the location would be nice becouse it goes by past log in time I have logged in the same character a couple times when trying to switch.
Indeed. Many people are very spatially oriented. I'd really like to have the option to keep the order of accounts the same.

CCP Fear,
Just a quick note - There was no link to this forum in your blog.
Also, I love the selection screen and would also like to see the logoff back to the character selection screen. |

Please add 4 character slots into the new selection screen (seen it on a presentation during Eve Vegas 2013)
I need more alts and less accounts, plus with the new alt training for plex it will make me a happy Freelancer

But it's a matter of implementation. Instead of a simple 'quit' functionality, you add a bit to create a 'restart' functionality. That closes the client and restarts it to get to the character selection.
Especially with multiple accounts and a single launcher (with account selection), it would be nice to restart the client for the current account without having to go through the launcher. That can save an extra login action.
And perhaps if you look at it from that angle, you can even find a place to go back to in the initialisation of the game client, so you don't have to actually restart it completely.

re; returning to login-screen.
This has been a personal pet-peeve of mine for quite many years. I have suggested on a few occasions to change this, however this requires some changes to how the server/client communication happens and that is some major work that takes a lot of time and effort to do.
So as much as I wanted (and many more) to make this happen it just did wasn't suitable, but you never know if that will change! |

Give it to CCP Masterplan, he will get it sorted. If he could unwind the warp acceleration code he can unwind the character swapping code.

I notice you don't have more than one character on your screen shots in the dev blog - done because people might notice how the unselect characters' corporation logo are rendered so badly?
If you were thinking of rendering characters in full at one point how come corporation logos are currently defeating you?

I must say yes it looks pretty, but again You lovey people @ ccp keep dissapointing me.
As ccp you lot have been endorsing multiboxing/dualaccounting/ or whatever one would call it.
with the introduction of the first launcher gething into game has only gotten more steps to actualy login another account or just switching a toon in one account. (yes I know by only one step but still)
well pre launcher you could just launch multiple clients at the same time, now it's back and forth with the switch user thingy.
When are we getthing some nice upgrades for a function wich you lot actually try having as much players as possible do (having more then 1 account).
can we finaly get something that just remembers or logs in multiple accounts in one go (up to character selection ofcourse.)
yes there is the security thing: clients already remember account names in the pretty dropdown menu so there's always been a small issue (internet cafe's, schools)
security fix: just make it only remember passwords and loggins with an explicit yes of the player.
thanks for your attention :)

Will CCP eventually support n characters per account rather than just 3?
I would love a long term vision to include:
- One (1) account can have n characters
- One (1) account can have n simultaneous logins.
- One (1) account can have n active skill queues.
- Accounts may login one (1) character per login.
- Accounts may have one (1) active skill queue per active login + additional skill queues
- A monthly subscription purchases: three (3) characters, one (1) login, one (1) skill queue.
- PLEX can be used to purchase additional skill queues.
- PLEX can be used to purchase additional character slots.
- PLEX can be used to purchase additional logins.
Basically, separate "account" from "character" from "login" from "skill queue", though support product bundling.
One requirement for such a system: APIs cannot provide any means of showing the number of characters on an account. A given API should be able to show multiple characters, but not the total number of characters. This would support spying and other metagame activities.
Fix POSes.-á Every player should want one (even if all players can't have one). |

My biggest problem with your new "simpler" screen is this. YOU have decided exactly what small bit of info the players wished to know...and how to prioritize that info.
My biggest problem with that is....i don't care 'how many' skills i have completed since my last log-in....i DO want to know how many SP i have. It's not like we have the option of looking at the skills that are so proudly displayed in the log-in screen.
Please remove this useless feature...as it currently stands, if i've completed ANY skills since my last log-in, it no longer displays my current SP, but proudly shows the number of skills i've completed. Next. To. Useless. And you guys seriously play this game?

Very nice overall, however, I think the mail icon with the count somewhere on the portrait would be much more visible. It seems like there will be a lot of unnecessary scanning involved to see if any characters have unread mail.
Either way, nice work. |

We're about five or six years overdo for an end-to-end code overhaul. Unfortunately adding new features that are either broken at launch or which get broken in the following expansion always seem to take precedence. |

I love you guys, and for the Dev's who worked on this, this isn't aimed at you, as it isn't you guys who decide what is done next etc - that is where the designers/producers come in.
But clearly, if you asked the players. what you spent your time on developing stuff, I can't imagine this was at the top of the list for well... anyone.
And shoving it under the remit of 'NPE' is a copout - because, frankly, if new players can't figure out how to use the existing login screen, well honestly - they are going to fail very hard at playing EVE :)
There is a long list of things that still need fixing in this game that would help CCP make more money and retain more players than a new login screen, that most of us spend about 5 seconds looking at.
Edit: I should add: 5 seconds looking at before we spend the next hour ship spinning and watching the spin counter go up. Now there was dev time well spent.
Boldly going forward, still can't find reverse - name that tune kids! |
