I don't understand why CCP introduced it. It offers nothing. It doesn't look good it doesn't even give us information in a way we wouldn't already get it.

Hell, its currently saying TQ is down, which isn't true you just by pass it via eve/bin/evefile

Am sure it uses some system resources, so if your a pauper like me on a laptop that's a pain in the ass too. CCP get it ****. Nobody likes it or needs it.

Do it, do it now kill it.

Thanks

All the other cool games have one, that's why!

Am serious though, played the game since 2004 and its never had as many problems as since the launcher came out. Its a piece of **** and it needs to go.

Well, the whole mess is down now... but that's okay... it's only prime time on Saturday night in North America. Roll

I am not usually one to whine but seriously - get rid of the launcher.

No one asked for it.
We lost the splash screen/music most people liked.
It is more difficult to log into multiple accounts.
We often have to end up doing a bypass of it manually when it stops working.
I check to see if the language changed to Russian before I use it.
More ads.
More downtime.


How is this an improvement for the paying customer?

They got crappy launchers and locking threads down. To bad they can't handle putting Eve Online online.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Logging in through the client has a nicer feel then through the launcher

The launcher just appeared randomly like a cancer, and yea I agree it certainly doesn't make logging in multiple characters any easier, CCP should at least add an option to get rid of it for the people that don't want screwed over every week. The server is up its just the launcher taking the **** Evil

The server just got taken offline. Hth.

Also, the majority of what the launcher is isn't for our sake, it's for CCP's sake when deploying patches. The same standard is becoming the norm across the industry. HTFU and get used to it (though I do hope CCP wakes up from their horrible mistake of getting rid of our login music...jerks)

CCP is doing this to test the people of EVE to see if we can handle needless hindrances to our gameplay to dole out more needless hindrances to our gameplay. We can't handle it so please take the launcher to the back of the shed and shoot it between the eyes, then the legs, then the chest, then whatever is still a solid mass. Repeat until liquid.

In before lock, because CCP will try to lock away all opposition to the launcher

Seriously, CCP, I don't know how intelligent one needs to be to understand the SIMPLE FACT THAT PEOPLE LIKE PRETTY LOGIN SCREENS WITH NICE 3D GRAPHICS AND GOOD MUSIC MORE THAN A DAMN AD-RIDDEN PIECE OF SH*T LAUNCHER THAT DOESN'T WORK HALF THE TIME!!!

God dammit, is that so hard to understand or comprehend? Retribution login screen was awesome and everyone loved it! Who in the right mind would replace something so nice and with such good feedback with a gigantic ad?




TL;DR who in the right mind would replace our login music and pretty graphics with an obnoxious advertisement

The server being down and people ddosing the server is probably a different problem than the launcher. And if CCP could they would probably chose some other time to work on the servers. It's 1am on Iceland and they're probably rather spend the night out drinking beer or at home in bed. Also, the launcher is based on awesomium so I'm quite sure it can play sounds and music.

At least it used to...now you just get an empty space picture and no music. They should change the bypass log in screen to a door.

The new launcher downloads and installs patches way faster than the old one.

Note to self: Make sure skillqueue is full. Plan on playing some other game on weekends from now on.

O Rly? Am of the belief if something isn't broke it doesn't need fixing. Then along comes this terrible launcher and yea, **** needs fixing a lot these days. Don't think I ever had trouble patching eve before the launcher now I think about it, and boy did I like that splash screen.
