Could you expand on why you think that? This is a suggestion simply to remove unnecessary typing and clicking but I'd like to know why you think it should be harder. A counter-point is always good to hear.

UPDATED: Of course if you did use FCS you would still be subject to the "FCS screen me baby!" or the "30 seconds to be sure I'm safe then please FCS screen me" as with the current "Log off" "Log off Safely" buttons.

All other timers etc STILL apply like not cloaking and warping you off if you have an aggression timer for PVP etc. = Abuse free.

So, perhaps two buttons are required:
(*) Safe Switch = Wait the 30 seconds same as a Safe Log-off and then switches to the Character Selection Screen
(*) Switch = No wait period just goes straight to the Character Selection Screen. For those that REALLY just need to switch out.

Updated with a bit more.

I think if that were the case they'd have limited the number of Chars per account to 1 instead of 3?

Doesnt work as intended. Try to leave launcher logged in for some time (more than hour i think) and you'll have to close it and relaunch in order to get into game.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

meh, this crappy launcher doesn't even launch the game 50% of the time so.....

CCP better get rid of this launcher anyway, it doesn't bring ANYTHING but pain for the customers, ressources taken away ( major memory leak within the launcher), security risk (more code -> more potential vulnerabilities), is implemented badly (take soo long to do anything / (check the packet it send during authentification, it's "fun").

whoever had the launcher idea in the first place should be kicked in the balls, whoever allowed the curent version to go live shall be kicked in the balls twice.

if any of my dev / dev team would do such a thing, they would have to look for another job, and fast.

the main point of having alts is to run them simultaneously.

what is asked here doesn't change the fact that you are abe to run only one toon / account at a time, it just allow toon switching being done easy.

so if you need a cyno alt / scout whatever, you would sitll need a 2nd account.

i would add, that since the launcher update, it's even more painfull (i was sure it was not possible to make it worse, CCP again proved me i was wrong) to switch toons with the same account

seriously, any game have a switch toon mode easy, i can't believe eve is still using a broken mechanic for this matter

Palamon 0utbreak Likes received: 17	#39 - 2013-05-31 12:38:12 UTC This is a great idea, heard it mention lots in the past. No real reason why account verification should be required over and over again each time a different character is logged in.
