The old login screen was minimalist and shared the atmosphere of the game.

The launcher looks like a generic hunk of software with all kinds of text and bars and indications all over it.

It took something that was good about starting up EVE and replaced it with a generic hunk of garbage that looks bad and functions poorly.



Very salient point. They took something most of us liked - the old splash screen / login and replaced it with a buggy, annoying poorly functioning, unasked for and unloved generic tedious piece of ****.

Well done indeed.

Would CCP like to comment? no? would one of the dev's actually like to say for the record that they prefer the launcher over the old way to log in?

Go on. Do it.

I just launch from the ExeFile as Iv'e always done.
But it's very annoying that patches (which occur every day) force opens the god damn launcher every time.
I'm sure they can make a launcher that runs in the background with zero to none performance impact, and actually remembers that you don't wanna see that piece of **** window. I mean, didnt CCP send stuff into space? how hard can it be...

I might change my mind if the launcher some time actually get good (or any) benefit for multiboxing, but as it is now, its just another annoying window.

Bump, cause I miss the splash screen. :(

The launcher does what it's supposed to do - make sure you have an up to date client and launch the game.

Mine will even launch the game on separate screens depending on which shortcut I use to open the launcher. Honestly the only thing I'd like to see is the ability have multiple launchers open at the same time, so I can log into each account one time, and then launch additional clients as needed.

I pay CCP to be able to play Eve. I, like the honey badger, have no fucks to give the login screen. I don't care if it's written in swahili as long as I can use it to log in and do what I wanted to do in the first place - play Eve Online.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the current launcher.


Maybe you should post on every alt to make a point like the couple of players with **** pc's about the jump animation.
