Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 As a player with 19 characters on my account, I feel like the current character log-in screen is disorderly. You know, where it always places the most recently logged in character as displayed on the left. Maybe I'm just a bit OCD about organization but it would be great to have an option in that character log-in screen, that allowed players to organize the positioning of their characters themselves and to set it so they don't move out of that set order when logged into. This would be a great function to have, for those of us who have many characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeefa.3915 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 While I don't have quite as many characters, I do agree this would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie.1045 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Personally, I would rather have characters to be able to display their weapons and backpacks instead of only displaying the armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It would be a great function for those of you who want your characters to stay in the same order. The number of characters is totally irrelevant. And for reference, I have beyond 40 characters, and I prefer it the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The ability to organize characters and sort them in multiple ways would be great. Use their last login - current version Alphabetic order Order by profession Order by level Static order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I agree, it would be nice to be able to keep them in a fixed order, or switch between the current system and a fixed order as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I typically log in each of my current 42 characters each day to grab some sort of reward, and the "move to the left" system helps me remember who is next -- if it works. But I'd be in favor of other options to organize so long as the current option remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edelweiss.4261 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I only have 13 characters at the moment, but fixed positioning wouldn't work well for me. I tend to play with one character for an extended period of time before switching to a different character for an extended period of time. I do this as moving my gathering equipment and salvaging equipment requires multiple switches between characters. As such, fixed position would be really annoying for me.

Examples of use: * Keeping characters in birthday order * Organizing in terms of map completion * **Organizing in terms of class/build played for the purposes of quick log-outs log-ins while running games in spvp** * Organizing in terms of mains on left, alts on right, doesn't matter Number of characters is definitely not irrelevant. The more characters I make, the more disorderly it gets when trying to sift through for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be able to see the feet of my characters would make me happy... Absolutely. With up to, what, 70 slots, the character select screen could certainly take a note or two from MOBAs, and add some sorting tools: Profession Race Last Played Crafting Creation Date The ability to "tag" them with certain game mode specs (WvW, Raid-tank, etc) would also be useful.

If implemented, you could simply not opt to do so. Correct, but OP's assertion was "for those of us who have many characters", almost as if *everybody* with many characters would of course want the feature, and I don't really care one way or another. Well, except when I want to go round all my characters (as I do every three weeks in SWTOR) and log in to each one of them, in which case the option to have them in most-recent-on-the-right (bottom in SWTOR) would be useful. OK, never mind. Option it is. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzarakiel.7490 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I want a grid on the left side of the log in screen that shows all my characters. Being able to directly click the character I want to use without having to scroll forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to directly click the character I want to use without having to scroll forever. By the Six, praise Joko, for the Legions, YES. I've got 30+ and 3 blank spots. Desperately in need of a faster selection method. Even having keybinds for faster scrolling instead of having to boop the arrows would help a ton.

DragonSlayer.1087 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 YES YES YES. I want to be able to rearrange my charcters! :D Make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysenberry.1869 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Fixed locations might be nice. I'd also love a portrait feature on the login screen where you can see all of your characters standing together for a group picture. Asura in the front to Norn in the back. Smile!

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah, the filter organization tools sound like a good idea but I still want a flat static organization. There are lots of reasons during different types of activity phases, that I ask myself "why is there no sorting tools in this screen?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSS needs _many_ fixes, updates, and new QoL features. Doesn't look like the devs are interested in implementing any (or at least fix the current bugs, like the awful racial and gender-related size-scaling). But hey, they updated the character icon's region backgrounds recently, so yay! <--sarcasm ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfire.3947 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I personally would love the option of arranging by profession, as I havie multiple of each one, each specc'd for different aspects of the game. For me, it would make it much easier switching between characters, depending on what I wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrizzFreston.5290 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I wouldnt mind a grid with portraits to select from. The order has always been a bit finicky to me (since it doesnt always register which character you logged onto if its only for a minute or so) but last logged in always helped me whenever I wanted to check each character at least once.

Some form of a big square grid would be amazing. I could probably actually see ALL of my characters at once again with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
