Was just looking through the patch notes for STO's new season and came upon this interesting little tidbit:
UI:
It is now possible skip logout and go directly to character select!
A button has been added to the game menu to go to character selection.
The slash command is /GotoCharacterSelect.
I'm still patching over to the new STO build, so I have no idea how (or if) it actually works, but this is a feature that has been repeatedly requested over here in Champs.
Any chance of this being ported over to CO?

This would have me back to playing all three of my characters again, instead of just the one.

Oh wait... players actually want it? Sorry, not a chance.
BUT HOW ABOUT THIS!
Instead of logging out and then logging back in to change characters, you now have to run a mission to "rescue" your other character before you can switch to playing them! Then of course you'll have to do the old log out log in routine. Also there will be a giant locked steel door at the end of the mission; buy our new "Character Select" lockbox for a chance to get a key to that door, or even some super exciting drifter salvage!
Big Exciting News!

it would be a nice feature, and if STO has it, CO can surely have it.

Yes, logging out just to switch characters is stupid... and we've been doing it for 3 years now. I think we're all tired of it.
Would make alting alot more fluid..

Its all you're gonna get for January and most of February. Took a dev a whole hour to implement which cost Crytpic ten thousand dollars (In man-hours? How does average salary equate to that?).
My long passwords are long and is a pain in the butty to type it each time I want to switch toons.

I think that's the reason that was given in the past for why switching characters is done the way it is...doesn't really make sense to me.

Really, they had similar such reasons when they ran CoX. Turned out it was nonsense and the "log off to character select" was implemented after they were gone.

Spam from people constantly switching characters to move crap from one character to another.
This is working fine in STO. I can think of no reason it can't work here.

Don't worry, you won't hear about it in 2 years if anything happens to it.

Please do this.
Also... Yay! more big colorful letters! :biggrin:
Honestly, I can't see why anyone thought it was a good idea to not have that in from the start.
