Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Greetings capsuleer Atropos,

How do you figure this? The process prior to your new launcher was:

1. Double click icon.
2. Enter login details.
3. Select capsuleer.
4. Fly.

The process post your new, cumbersome launcher is:

1. Double click icon.
2. Enter login details.
3. Close redundant window because you click launch after logging in when autoplay is selected.
4. Close second redundant window because the launcher did not disable the button and after a few seconds of seeming inactivity you tried to launch it again.
5. Select capsuleer.
6. Fly.

Can you please engineer a launcher that will make it convenient to have multiple capsuleers on tap; be this through multiple interfaces launched once or a simple selector that will allow me to pick the capsuleer I need.

Alternatively, stop complicating the process and remove your redundant information from it and streamline it so I can control everything except the authentication protocol and what lies beyond.

Regards,

Capsuleer Yang

I'm in Australia and getting russian =) i don't think location has much to do with this piece of fail.

Yeah ... new issue ... the english box is russian language.
All other 3 languages are fine, but english is broken now ... just tried to repair and reload, but still not fixed.

It seems i have missed the invasion?

I hope you are just playing dumb. Besides I also DO software, all those years playing MMOs made me see countless types of log in and web based ones were the most problematic (even just for silly things like suddenly expiring certificates, new releases messing up unless players emptied browser cache and so on). On a software for the thousands, every stumbling block has to be removed or made minimal, which is the opposite direction where this whole "launcher-patcher-ads-ridden-heavy-weight-thing-with-Python-and everything-else-embedded" is going.

Same here. Personally, imho by now someones head at CCP should have rolled for this total clusterfuck of a rollout.

The launcher hogs resources (100mb is too much and constantly using CPU), looks like **** by seemingly being a content serving platform than an actual game launcher and is a pain in the ass by constantly screwing with you and your access to the game.

Oh noes, tin foil hats and all here comes trollolololol launcher.

Yes, this is rant, but one from a customer relations perspective. There is no fostering of a relationship when you make a launcher that sucks donkey balls by "breaking" the accessibility or playability of an otherwise stellar game or have you been listening to SONY about how to retain the customers good will?

** Edit: After having read the underlying reasons for the change to the launcher I can only say that I disagree with them. You wish to create a "facebook-esque" platform/experience for users with access to all things possible, evemail, voice etc. Are there any number of reasons supporting this move or is this again some whim or fancy on CCPs part that can divulged to us as to why you would consider this half-of-a-move rather than a complete re-vamp of not only the eve-client (moving from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture) but all integrated services as whole? If you want to bring us a richer experience why do you give us such half-measures?

The old launcher actually made the login process slower already, and this one just make things worse.

It's a pain on the ass to login multiple accounts now, I don't know if anyone in ccp owns multiple accounts, or I just assume that they don't like players to do so. OK I may consider to only keep two of my accounts in sub then.


A really frustrating turd even worse than wis

The new launcher NEEDS to save password please CCP. This feature would save so much time and hassle typing in 4 passwords everytime. Please implement it but make it an option that you have to turn on to avoid the security issues for those absent minded ones.

For those who want Facebook and whatever other "aggregation" feature, why can't CCP just make that an optional feature?

The best feature of Incarna has been the button to disable it, this launcher is the next best candidate.

But no, CCP won't make it optional, because they KNOW that 99% will just disable this umpteenth piece of crap.

Cloud settings sounds like a good idea.. if you only have one pc. I don't know any eve players who only ever opens eve on one pc.

Also it would remove my ability to sometimes run alt on main screen and sometimes run it on the secondary screen.

Do not implement this launcher fully until it supports everything which is possible now with junctions or you WILL lose a lot of subscribtions.
You might not care much now because you think you know better, but guess what. On the other side there are people paying to play your game. If you ruin the game experience by making it worse or more difficult to login and setup to play the game people will stop paying you.

The game itself might not change, but in eve your window setup and the ability to store these settings LOCALLY is the game. Eve on default settings is imo unplayable, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Listen to your costumers, and don't implement **** that isn't even near to doing what you think it will do in the future. Because guess what - we as costumers don't much care what your big PLAN is if you never deliver. We only get to see what you do implement, and if what you send out is bad and you keep bragging about how awesome it's going to get you just come across as a bunch of arrogant pricks.

far far to many times if you ask me. they should have actually stopped this **** by now
