Issues, Workarounds & Localization

You guys should have remapped before picking the number ;)

Kidding. Seriously though, thank you for the extra SP. It worked out great for my corp: one guy was really crying hard about the launcher, so we had the fortune of hearing that all week and just poking at him. Then we get the SP, like the cherry on top :)

I don't suppose though, that you could get some more wiggle room out of your managers so that you can hold some features until you do get all the kinks out, especially for really impacting things like this, the Inventory, modular POS rewrite (THANK YOU for delaying that until you can spend more time on it!), etc.

You guys are on a schedule, but we don't always know (or care) when a certain feature comes out, as long as it does arrive and adds benefit to the game. Personally, I'd rather wait a little bit of time for a feature if I knew that extra time was spent fine-tuning that feature. We're the customers, we're the ones buying your product, and we -- or at least I -- say that it's okay to delay when there are problems.

Thanks again though!

I responded to you about this in the sisi feedback topic.

it dosnt solve the issue there is no way of easy swapping toons on the same account WITHOUT leaving the launcher running.

I DO NOT WANT THE BLOODY LAUNCHER X8 RUNNING ON MY PC

why are you being so stubborn that you can not see the launcher is a step back in multiboxer functionality?

First off, thank you for the 50K. It is very much appreciated.

I've been around since 2008 and have several venues through which I collect information with regards to EVE Online. I log on to forums when I have a chance, I have Tweetdeck open to #tweetfleet #eveonline along with following most of the active CCP devs. Not to mention the 112,234 blogs that I have in my RSS reader.... I have about as large of an information portal that I need with regards to news and information from CCP and EVE Online.

When I come home set up my desktop, pour myself a scotch, open up laptop to Dotlan and click on the EVE icon on my desktop. I want to log in to my character selection and undock.

Click EVE Icon -> Type_Usrnam -> TAB -> Type_Pwd -> TAB -> ENTER -> Select Character -> Undock

This is the level of complexity I want.

I respectfully request that you create an "opt-out" function to the additional steps as I really don't need to be shown what I either already have read or already have ignored.

You (CCP collectively) once stated that you wanted single log on. You may be trying to do it with this methodology but it, seemingly, is failing.

Single log on would be:

Log in to Forums -> Read Forums -> Click on EVE Client Icon -> Choose Character -> Undock.

Many thanks

EDIT: I'm happy to repeat above process to log in to my alt account.

And that is the high level of functionality required by the vast majority of EVE players, they have no need of fancy advertising, feeds from this or that rubbish or a fast track to FaceBucket.

All that is required of any launcher is to check the version, update if required without drama and then open on the requested character choice screen....Oh is that not what we actually had at one time in EVE.

SSO will never be accepted as the way 'Forwards' unless you can convince the players it is better than what they already had, so far nothing you have presented meets those criteria even when it works, it is intrusive, slow and defeats the object of the players requirements in favor of some flashy advertising.

To request from players there assistance in establishing a way forwards is rather insulting, they never asked for this in the first place instead having it foisted on them under the guise of something better disguised as a 'Change in priorities' something which you have never fully explained though from the look of the format it is self explanatory and has you know who's influence stamped right across it.

If however it is an attempt to reduce botting, then that should be lauded but not at the expense of causing legitimate players problems.

The suggestion that an 'Opt' out be inserted into the new launcher is a good one based on sound logic allowing as it would, players to do what they actually came to EVE for in the first place, if they then wish access to the admin of the game it is all still there to be had if required as are updates.

The following questions were first directed at Atropos (And later some other CCP dude too), but if you can answer it I promise not to be picky.

I understand your frustration but you have to provide us something to go on; a screenshot showing any error messages, or a copy paste or something, anything would be helpful.

there is nothing wrong with the launcher apparently



oh wait it dose not work properly, dose not support multiboxing and you had to give everyone sp's to stop the bulk of the hate. nothing wrong there then

A gift of sp doesn't make this problem go away, the problem being crap outsourced code and changes without forethought of consideration of how it might affect the playerbase. Sorry, but your shiny jiggling keys aren't going to work.

Because obviously, for cost reasons, they can't allocate 20 000 people to test a launcher on every single configuration on earth, and the issue might be on steam or even your connection.
I'm pretty sure that if you accepted to pay 10k a month for a professionnal/premium/whatever service like several companies offer they'd be willing to give you your personnal customer support person that would sort stuff by himself.
Now, you are paying 20 bucks a month, so get a hold of yourself and accept that that price means that they have to sort stuff for the 150k other people that also have issues, and that you might not be the center of the world.


On a side note, i'm using steam, and the launcher displays an error, but works.

Apart from in game, you can also file a bug report on the website.
Please do, because if you think they have no clue, you could help them get one.
