New launcher

Congratulations on fixing the launcher so that it can actually display content from the redesigned site. It would probably be a lot better if it had some content to show rather than just a large picture window.

One issue is right below the register button that says region / sprache / version. Minor localization text isn't updated despite being in "enus"

Also the subtle change in the location of recharge diamonds where the play button used to be, aren't you cute.

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Yeah, since morning I keep getting more and more diamonds and still did not manage to start the actual game.

Also make it such that it shows current patching status not like 100% on both status bars while still downloading patch on background.

People still use launcher? Why would you do a silly thing like that?

-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Thanks, I already forwarded a list of things to be adjusted with the new launcher, and what you mentioned was among the things listed

I like the new launcher, will be nice once they iron it out.

@vfwiffo just to let you know I apologize if I offended you by the Pink Fairy comments.....I just heard the Pink Panther theme music play when I said the Pink Fairy comments. So my apology if I did offend you.
Anyway Vfwiffo it would be cool if the Pink Panther theme played anytime you got around Rustyx in game.

New beginning? We don't play the launcher we play the game, I've never played a game and said "Boy I sure love that launcher!" now give us some new content that everyone who can't take down a 75 boss can participate in. Then I'll pat you on the back.

Everyone is a critic. But I must say I do like the new launcher. It's a minor thing in the long run, but it is something everyone sees before they play the game!

When you go to a restaurant, you eat the food, not the decorations. Yet, it still matters whether the restaurant looks nice or not.

As a former restaurant manager I look for cleanliness. A sign of a good restaurant manager is if you use the restroom and the toilet seat is tight and not hanging on by one screw. The small details getting taken care of makes a great restaurant.

however a clean slate (news items) looks terrible for numerous reasons

New launcher=new thread?

People must really be bored of the actual game content.

I have played a game and said that the launcher sucks or nice. It doesn't turn me on/off to the game, with that being said, so I understand what your saying.

As far as the launcher is concerned, it does look nice. However, this is simply like Ebi said in not so many words putting a new mask on a beast.

I know im being a little harsh, but since last patch we went from 26 in siege to 17, alot of people were already itching for new content, or were elsewhere but still sieged. We waited three long months and got new bosses the big OP guilds will camp, and a new launcher. People are just giving up till November.

So don't mind me, Just venting.

It would be a nice touch if the forum button at the top actually linked to our (this) forum.

@Ebi, yeah, my guild has taken a huge hit too. We have about half the number for siege & the really depressing thing is, it is going to get worse because more of my guildies are going to that other game.

But, on second thought, this new launcher looks so good maybe they will stay & others might even come back....

It does, sort of. The link on the launcher takes you to the EU/EN forums, but you can click on the US flag in the upper right corner of the frame to get to the US forums.

But yes, I'd prefer that when the region setting is US, the link should take you directly to the US forums. I believe that Dionaea has already forwarded that concern upstairs.
