Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How about no it is stupid you, as in look where you click the character shuffle on the login has been with us for a long time.

I counter you ith I prefer it the way it is, it gives me a positive indicator of which character was the last one logged in and I prefer it that way.

It's not like they're shuffling around at random and you have a dozen pictures to look at. They're always in order of last login time.

No. No I haven't. There are only three. It's not that hard.

Exactly this, how the op isn't used to it by now escapes me.

This is a great feature idea. 3 nights ago I logged out my alt and tried to log in my main. I got halfway through the scroll when it happened.... you guessed it.... hand cramp. All because of the stupid portrait swapping. I started rubbing my hand (with my other hand, not the cramped one) and as I was rubbing it my non cramped hand, well not my hand, but further up my arm - the bendy part between your wrist and your clavical - anyway that part knockd my fresh hot cup of coffee off my desk and onto my lap.

The pain was excruciating. As I jumped up from the hot steamy crotch pain my hand (the crampy one) cramped even more and I hit my thigh on the underside of my desk. The thigh pain caused me to spasm forward and I hit my forehead solidly on the shelf part of my computer desk. I was bleeding a good bit, but I ignored that. Focussing on my steaming shorts I started to pull them off.

I'm not sure if it was the hand cramp, the thigh knot, the bleeding head wound, the burning crotch or some combination of them, but I started to feel woozy. You know when you start to get woozy sometimes your brain sort of latches on to that last thought and just keeps going with it? Well mine was 'burning shorts - must take off' so as I was blacking out I was still struggling with getting my shorts off. I went down at that point.

What seemed like an instant was actually 5 minutes, but I came back into focus. There's my wife standing over me. I was lying by my computer desk my shorts around my ankles all soaked and coffee stained. My one leg pinned to my chest in pain. Blood sliding off my forehead (some had pooled in my eye socket while I was out so my left eye was soaked and everything was blurry (I though it odd that blood covering the lens of your eye doesn't burn or really give you much of a sensation at all).

She asked "Is your hand OK?"

That's when I noticed it was locked in a tight ball, an odd almost white color and shaking at a good pace.

"Not really, it's cramped pretty bad." I said.

So she said "Don't forget you said you were going to mow the lawn. Dinner will be ready in about an hour and a half, so you might want to get started on it soon"

Then she went back in the other room and watched a CSI episode she'd already seen 4 or 5 times. (How can that women watch the same episode so many times??)

So, that being said, I will give the fixed portrait locations a +1 and a big thumbs u.... my hand is still pretty cramped, so never mind.

1: fake story, nobody would have a still scalding cup of coffee while they are logging off from a gaming session long enough to cramp your hand. You would have drank the coffee long before that or you wouldn't even be starting your session yet, hence no cramp. Mutually exclusive situations. Pick a better story mudblood.

2: blood evolved for more purposes than just circulating oxygen and nutrients around the body, it also delivers white blood cells to clean infections and stem cells to replace damaged tissue, hence the plasma it's based off of does not cause any adverse negative reactions to the body. That would defeat the purpose.

3: some people find catharsis in the tranquility of the familiar, and the repetition of the everyday routine. If they already know what's going to happen there is no stress. Much like mission running.

Also +1 to the idea that ccp could just let one dude spend 20 minutes a week working on it until it's done. Won't take that long. Won't hurt other projects. Might be nice to just drag and pin their locations. Meh.

would also prefer the remain positionally stable.

+1

Quit the bullshit

People don't like your idea.


Don't be a prick about it

Let me be clear. My intention was not to call anyone stupid, except the user interface. On the contrary I fail to see how calling people stupid would positively contribute to the common effort of making Eve better. I invite you to pod me for the misunderstanding and failed rhetoric.

Also thank you for being a voice of reason in this conversation in which participants seem to tend to think to be at some sort of command as to how CCP developers use their time and effort.

No, it's you (and me) who are stupid. Because we can see where we should click. But automatic behaviour makes us click somewhere else. Don't blame the game, blame yourself. It's easily provable that it's our fault, because we simply aren't looking and blindly assuming it's where it always is. And that's just nuts.

No, sorry, it's us who are stupid and you hqve to accept that you could do much better, even if it's hard for you to understand. Stop blaming the world for your mistakes and pay attention to what you do instead.

That being said, not having them change position would still be nice, because there's no real reason why they should swap around. Your reasoning behind that, though, is not even silly.
