Test Server Feedback

I dont see anything new about the selection screen. Was it removed from the latest build?

+1

So during the EVE Vegas UI presentation there were some mock ups that involved 4~5 characters on the selection screen.
Is this a possibility? Will we be able to have 5 characters per account?

since there is a sticky (i missed it earlier?)

i post back here my feedback:

i love this new char selection screen, and +1 to this proposal, however, there is an issue ith it if you use 2 monitors, the ttons are centered, meaning the separation of the two screens land right in the middle of it.

the green line is where the switch is between my two screens: http://s21.postimg.org/sn4urdcp3/split.jpg


it would be nice if it was aligned to the UI wich you can offset already

please make this affected by this setting: http://s2.postimg.org/6l244xgt5/camera_offset.png

i also created a bug report on sisi for this

Seriously now.

I don't get why the new selector is such a big thing according to CCP, probably more of that awesome awesomeness you've got coming we're still waiting for.

Major problem I have is the new selector not displaying most recent news, like the old one does on the right side of the screen. If this is moving into the new launcher (I'm assuming there is a new launcher coming) then forget what I said.

Anyway, a new selector isn't a gameplay-changing event that will make people who (God forbid) want to leave stay and play another couple of years. Or make any player log off and back in 50x in a row because it's awesome. You point and click, done. It is a purely graphical change that won't be any better or worse than the current system, just different.

I wish CCP stopped wasting time with useless features and worked more on things that actually change and improve gameplay or make the universe of New Eden a more complex and/or exciting place. It sometimes feels you guys are releasing expansions because you've got to release expansions and not because you came up with something new.

You do realise that EvE Online is happening beyond the launcher and beyond the character selection screen, in the actual game itself? OK, just wanted to make sure.

Sorry if I upset you guys but you asked for our opinion and I'm giving it.

PS: Anyone playing Skyrim or GTA5 because they have an awesome title screen?

In DX11 mode I get just a black screen. No character selection is visible on SiSi. Mouse changes cursors, but it isn't clear whether or not I'm able to actually click on anything.

In DX9 mode I get the old selection screen.

Is this expected? I filed a bug, but wasn't really sure what was or wasn't working.

(Using a GTX 560 w/ the nVidia WHQL driver released last week)

The build that I just patched to fixed the above. Everything seems to work now, both DX9 + DX11

Version: 8.40.633178 reported in the "about" screen.

IMO there is too much red in this picture. I don't mind the background, but having the character selection itself following the same pattern makes it look TOO MUCH monochrom.

Also, is there any plan to have a 3D background or will you just put a wallpaper behind and pretend you've done an amazing work ?

Some options and possible tweaks.

1) The background should be moving, you have a static picture. Honestly, I would consider recording 4 minutes of background from famous places (Jita Undock, Eve Gate, Asteriod Belts, etc), and put that as the background. An alternative would be to have the video's from all your old eve expansions playing in the background.

2) The ship below the character should use the ship portraits we have ingame, and they should slowely rotate.

3) There's no need to have EVE/RUBICON plastered above the character selection screen, we know its Eve, we know its Rubicon.

4) You should be having 4 colors. Currently everythings just Red. The inherent color scheme should change to the races color as you select your character, blue for Caldari, Red for Minmatar, Bronze/gold for Amarr, Green for Gallente. It should fit the atmosphere better.
