If i want to change a skill on this character, the game forces me to logoff completely, log in all over again, choose the character that is training a skill, wait for game to load, then pause that skill...then i have to log off again...log back in.... load up the character i want to train now....wait for it..... then i get a message that says character is already training on this account AGAIN. The pause did not work because i didnt hit "apply" so i have to log off again.... wait....log in again.... wait..... choose my char...wait.... pause the skill....hit apply..... log off again..... log in again..... choose character i want to train a skill on...wait.....

If this was a very difficult read for players then can you imagine how much of a pain in the ass it is to have to change characters just to change a damn skill on my own account?

CCP can you please just let us click once to train a skill even if it means changing which character we train on!? Please

to update...hitting apply doesnt work either!!!! you have to open character sheet and right click to pause because pausing on the skill queo thing didnt work at all when changing char's! grrr

"Apply" will start the skill queue for that character, "Pause" will pause the queue for that character.

I agree with you though, it would be a great feature to either have the skill queue automatically pause the other character's training, or have the ability to share the one skill queue per account between characters on the account.

Hi,

As a player of multiple characters, and accounts - I would love this!

However, the best way to get a dialog about this is to post in Features and Ideas discussion so I've moved this post over here from General discussion.

Just my tuppence worth *as a player*; Don't define the accept button as a failing, it's there to stop you doing bad stuff on your main, like accidentally double clicking a Tier 1 skill you wanted to investigate, and locking out the 45d skill you thought you were training.

Especially when you then logout for a month.

Never happened to me, of course ... honest Shocked

While it is in the right area there is currently 22 sticky posts in features and ideas and this will quickly be burried, as it. Must compete for one of the 8 slots

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.
