Compelling argument, I can really see how much effort you put into this and you are doing wonders to sway me over to your side of the issue. In fact I think I will petition CCP right now to join you in your quest for the old log in screen.

Oh wait, no I won't. I'm not stupid.

I agree with Dark in that this is not the way to get changes done. What specifically bothers you about the new launcher? How would you like to see it changed?

Try to keep the answer civil and specific.

I don't think we should get rid of it per se. Mainly because I like the idea of a master log in and all it could offer. But I do think the way they have introduced it, leaves a lot to be desired.

Things I would like to see changed, until we reach this master solution.

  1. Being able to right click paste into the password box.

  2. Reducing the time it takes to check the client files, every time I start the launcher up. As it stands I can bypass the launcher and jump straight into the game. With the launcher I go and make myself a cuppa. Odd, considering how they are trying to rid us of timer bars.

  3. It's seems to forget my account name, please fix this. Edit: Seems this is related to the 'Close the Eve launcher' Check box and is being fixed.

  4. I was also going to add that when I press 'LOG IN' that's what I want to do, not to be faced with having to press another button. But they apparently have fixed this.


As much as I dislike aspects of the launcher, I can see the need for change and hope for better account management in the future because of it. But if CCP could go about the change in a better way, including leaving the option in to bypass the launcher, until they are within an arms reach of their goal. That would be great.

Like I said, the way they introduced it leaves a lot to be desired. But CCP do have a history of such things. Lol

It would be nice if CCP released a statement as to the purpose of the new launcher. I highly doubt they just changed it because they were bored!

They did: It introduces Single Sign-On to EVE, which CCP has been dangling as an eventual feature for at least as long as I've been here (the tail end of Incarna). Theoretically, it will allow them to do any number of cool things, including eventually introducing Master Accounts so that all your current accounts are associated.

In practice, right now, it's a wobbly first step. They took it knowing that they'd risk the ire of multiboxers. Sure enough...

Indeed.

They could have saved themselves a fair few headaches, if they had tested some more and listened more to feedback.

Ooh, it's like déjà vu. Lol

I think the creation of threads in the Assembly Hall in which the OP isn't written at at least the 12th grade level should be banned.

I'm not against the new launcher, though I value the log-in screen's loss. To see an expansion summaried in a cinematic establishing shot of the expansions' "theme" and with an musical theme to acompany it is making some of the player base sad...


no one likes to be sad.

Can't we just add a checkbox (checked by default of course) that says "Bypass Login Screen"?
And those who uncheck it will get the classic login.

Getting SSO in place is also a requirement for getting two factor authentication implemented

Woo! CSM XI!
