That too, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible - and EVE players tend to have out of the ordinary names as well as combinations that would be impossible to mix without it sounding like two separate recordings. It could (COULD!) be done with synthesis, but again, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible and if it didn't sound terrible, that synthesis algorithm for voicing would be worth quite a lot of money.

CCP, please see my suggestion in this thread: Dual-Character Training Counter. Dual character training is much appreciated but we could really use some assistance in the "when did I PLEX my dual-trained character" arena.

The things we do today we must live with forever.... Think about it

That would basically be screaming without any noise.

In response to this thread, we are looking into displaying the Dual Character Training as well.
I cannot say that it'll be there on release day for sure (I wish I could) but it's on our list of features to include. Smile

Is there character selection or do will still have to log off to switch characters?

Because that is seriously ******* annoying.

Its ok. I was hoping for something a bit more showy and animated.

something like this
My mockup

The elements (which would all be animated) would be for your default (favorite? last used) character. And would be the following.
Current system background
Nearest celestial (planet)
Current location (station or ship)
Your avatar

Then you could have your other elements over the top (current ISK, Skills, other characters).


How did you enable this ? https://twitter.com/Flamespar/status/324747402382807040/photo/1

looks awesome

No longer need to pause skill training for installing/removing implants
New Character Selection Screen (WIP still)



Regarding implants, how about removing implants on the fly? Without docking. It's illogical, you don't need surgery to remove them?

The wormholers would come for you. A lot of stuff is allowed outside of stations because w-space folks don't have them. Once we actually get POSes you can dock at that will likely solve the issue.

Looks nice. But could you please display the pilots' SP as well?

I don't like how there's a single login button positioned at the very bottom.

I think it would feel much cleaner if each panel had its own login button attached to it to one-click enter.

Highlight currently training characters in some way, such as making their login boxes slightly bigger, or colouring them in some other way.

CCP can make Ship Maintenance Arrays to do this, per example.

I thought the plan was to lift character selection out of the client and into the launcher instead. Did I misunderstand?

I do not like the way I cannot see my entire training skill, I do not know if this is final but it does make it akward only being able to see the first skill in the Queue. Means I have to login to each toon if I have dual training on the go and cant remember how many days left on my queue, if I have a skill thats less than 24hours in front of it..

Other than that I think its a nice revamp and am happy with it good work :)

Copy pasta my comment from another thread here too:

I want a character selection screen as a tool to get a quick glance at all the important stuff for my characters. The new screen is an improvement at that.
Though it would have been even better, if there was a list on the left, with the same info the new one has now (or rather including the stuff that is to be added in the new build). Clicking on one of the infoboxes would then reveal either a picture or a fully animated character within a square portion of the screen. So 9x9 for the portrait or the animation and 7x3 for each infobox of the character stacked ontop each other. This would also add the benefit to see ones own characterportrait in full glory in the game at least once.


Edit:
Also having the Corp and Alliance Logos not in the picture would definitively be an improvement.

Whoever designed that selection screen should be fired. The most ugly unreadable and terrible design I've seen in a while.

EDIT: Bring back Aura so say something like "Entering environment Capsuleer" or even better "Welcome back Maximus". That wouldn't be too hard would it and would get us right in the mood.


It should be more like this: http://i.qkme.me/3u517z.jpg

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I'm getting a blank screen every time I launch my test client

Edit: switching to dx9 solved the blank screen problem, but now I get the old character selection screen

Singularity is now back online with the new mirror and the new build, which includes multiple characters in training.

IMPORTANT: The EVE launcher will try to start the client with DX11, which will result in a completely black client. Go to the settings in the launcher (small cog-wheel in the top right corner), switch to the tab "DirectX" and select dx9.
