Let me double-click on a server to select that server. Let me then double-click on a character to select that character.

Both of these work for me...

You can already just single click to choose a server, but if I'm reading the rest of it right, he means double click on a character to log them in, right? If so, /signed.

Yeah, even though I checked it just before posting, I still messed up. Servers only require a single click, so strike that.
But the rest, yeah, you got it.
Wonka: you're saying you can double-click on a character at the character select screen, and it takes you into the game? You do NOT have click on the character, then click on NEXT?
What's your system? Mac/Windows/??? ? What OS?
So moving you hand a quarter of an inch to the right and clicking a the mouse button a second time is to much of an inconvenience? You would want the developers to divert their attention from content and bug fixes to install this bit of code?
Interesting.

Yes, because Pohsyb programming a new UI feature would halt production on all new zones, new powersets, new villain groups, and new missions.

Methinks MrDestiny does not know what "QOL" means. I'd really like to be able to double-click characters, too. When I was a newbie, I kept double-clicking and thinking it was broken because I didn't even notice the button on the lower-right.

Enable double-clicking and/or selecting through the keyboard.
Let me double-click on a server to select that server. Let me then double-click on a character to select that character.
And/or let me use the arrow keys to navigate through the servers, then hit Return/Enter to select one, and the same thing on the Character Select Screen. Let Page Up and Page Down move me through the Character Selection pages. Let Backspace take me back to the previous screen. Even Control-Backspace would be fine.

All of this would be nice but that last part very much.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

What does "Quality of Life" (yay for google), have to do with adding double clicking to the interface? Are you truly going to sit there and say that your "QOL" is diminished because of the lack of a single feature that is indirectly connected to actual play?
Just seems like a lack of resources that could be better spent elsewhere. I mean we are all just sharing our two cents here, but lets be realistic. I could see if this was a wish list item, but it is posted in the "Suggestion" forum and seems a bit superfluous as a legitimate suggestion.

QOL features that have been implemented (just a few, off the top of my head) -
- Selecting zones at the train, instead of having to go from station to station.
- Combining inspirations
- Renaming builds. (You could conceivably put dual builds *themselves* in this category. They weren't needed, and still aren't, for 13 issues after all.)
- Adding book icons to story arcs.
- Dropping missions.
- Reordering characters on the character select screen
- Removing the 60 day timeout in the market
None of these were *big* features, none were bug or exploit fixes or otherwise fixing imbalances. Purely QOL, done to make things a little easier or nicer for the player. Should they not have been done? Were they a waste of developer time?

[/ QUOTE ]No, they're not saying QoL is reduced by not having this suggested feature. They're saying QoL is increased by adding it.

I'm pretty keyboard-happy myself, so any and all ability to preform such simple tasks with the keyboard would be appreciated.
