Character Select Screen QoL Improvement

I'd love to be able to see the inventory of each character. Inf, recipes, salvage, enhancements. Currently to see any of this we need to log each character in, then log out and look at the next one.

As a matter of fact, it would also be really, really handy to be able to see this while logged in as well.

I know not the ways of programming, but I am fairly confident this would be an Epic Pain in the Buttocks to create. The most you might be able to ask for is Inf, though I would love to see a Day Job bar for each character.

You're second request...Confuses me. I am probably reading it totally wrong, because it sounds really dumb. Elaborate.

The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

I think the OP would generally like to streamline the effort of moving items/INF from one character to another... and I doubt that would happen any time soon, if at all.

If the "City Vault" had come online, perhaps that'd be about the only way I'd say this would be feasable. However, that project has long been scrapped because it just didn't do what they wanted it to do. I'm not certain of the specifics but it just wasn't working. I doubt that you'd be able to get any success in these suggestions, since they seem extremely like the City Vault would have been.

I think he's asking for the ability to see your other characters' inventories and such while logged in. Either that or he doesn't know about the ability to constantly display your influence with the combat monitor. One of the two.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I'm not sure how I'd explain why I think that would be easy to a non-programmer. I wrote up an example, but I don't think it was very clear, so I scrapped it. Short version: all that stuff is just in database tables, and if you know the player id (which you do if he's logged in), you can get everything else. I'd be amazed if the database views to support that aren't already in place, but maybe I just write a lot of views.

M'ye second request was, in fact, simply that I'd like to be able to see the data for all characters not just from the login screen but also while logged in. The game knows who I am. It should know who my other characters are. While it's not particularly realistic to go see what salvage character B has while logged in with character A, there's no reason the game wouldn't be able to tell that sort of information, and I don't see what advantage they'd get from making you log out A and log in B to check.

Because only one character per account can be active at one time. Like I said, I'm pretty sure that what you want might have been covered entirely by the City Vault idea, but that idea was *not* going to work, so it's been scrapped.

It's called game-immersion, but... more than that, imagine you're actually sharing the same CoX account with a family member. The fact that you cannot access more than one character at a time, even to view its' information, means that it's more difficult to "steal" stuff from your family member who is sharing the same account as you.

While account-sharing is against the EULA IIRC, there's nothing NCSoft can actually do to prevent it, but they sure don't have to oblige anyone in ways that would aid it either.
