Are the Beautiful login screens really going away?


Does anyone else think its time for another protest?

No, it will die out again. Give it a couple of days people will stop jumping on the bandwagon like the last one.

the jita protests happened because of a proposed change in design philosophy that fundamentally destroyed the sandbox the idea was "money exchanged for commodities", bypassing the manufacturing process, and with it, the need of interaction between players.

so no, in no way this is anywhere near the level of outrage "golden ammo" generated.

so either you weren't there, or you have no idea what those protests were about.


losing the login screen, albeit a nuisance to some, is more of nostalgia blow to most. similar to when CCP announced they would ditch the old character avatars completely. people, instead of protesting needlessly, adapted. some went as far as putting down their own money to develop, and host, websites that kept a database of the old avatars.

ex: http://www.eve-avatars.com/

I am mostly just seeding the idea.


I was there for the protests and do know what it was really about.

However, as seen in the other threads, there are a lot of angry people.


If I can create an idea for content while giving people a way to outlet their frustration based on this patch, hooray.

Mostly, its 3 AM and I am bored.


DO whatever people.

ultimately people always do "whatever", it is when 10k people do the same whatever at the same time when others notice.

A cash shop will cause a riot, especially if it directly influences the in game economy.
Chronically neglecting to fix and update the actual game in favor of WiS get's people to grab the virtual pitchforks.


Removing the Login screen at worst get's me to post a rage topic on my blog... if I had one.



I kinda liked the login screens, it's a shame they are going to a launcher log in, GW2 also had a nice login screen and they removed that in favour of an ugly client based one as well....

How are they going to riot if they can't log in?

Lol. No. Eve is doing great right now. Its philosophically and mechanically excellent right now, and the future shows no sign of that letting up. Yeah CCP screws the pooch sometimes, but its usually on minor details like QA or FW. Little things nobody cares about.



But on a serious note they're doing great on the big picture stuff. That's what really matters to us. We'll fight and argue and debate the points, but most of us are comfortable knowing the course is straight. So no, there's no burn jita coming. Possibly never again.

Also I think as much of a spectacle as burn jita caused, it was the voting with our wallets that really struck home. A lot of players, myself included, cancelled our accounts in protest during the monocldgate(a funny name considering the monocles were actually the one form of micro transaction we were okay with. Cash for cosmetics. Not advantages)

I am going to have to agree with you on all of that.


However, who can resist trying to rock the boat a bit?

Content is content.

While I agree that NOTHING like the magnitude of the Jita protests will probably ever happen again, its hard for me to not want to try atleast.

i don't really get why every one was so upset.
for those of us that never use the launcher because it's just more unnecessary clicking, nothing changed.

i have no idea why people used the launcher to begin with.
