Character Roster is such a Drag... or at least should be.

So while you folks are increasing the cap for character slots, mind giving us a bit of QoL and let us reorder our character selection roster? It'd be nice to be able to organize these dozens and dozens of alts a bit better than "who was created first"

    I would settle for an alphabetical list of names with "last played" and a scroll bar.

    I think there may be some field associating each character with the order it was created. (I had to replace my hard drive and re-install CO and when I did my character popped up in the same order they were in ) How about being able to go to the manage account on the Arc or Champions online account page having a page where you can Increase or decrease the field number moving a character up or down the list.

    Well, a sorting feature came out today for Neverwinter. So, the code is possible. But, I don't know how it would react to an account with hundreds of characters.

    Long long loooooooooooooong overdue. Even just putting them in "most recently played' order would be better than what we have.

    Would be nice, but if it was a choice between dev resources going for this or new content the latter wins hands down for me.

    It would certainly be a different set of devs. Content creators are not UI and backend programmers.

    Sure, but someone has to pay them and I'd rather have resources go for content.

    Yeah we keep wanting new content but the resources seem to be going to reskins, not new. I figure this'll be easy to do as well
    Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    One thing to remember is that Cryptic can and has reshuffled people for important projects. For example, Tacofangs has spent most of the last few years doing STO stuff, but he's done some(not a lot) work on CO too.

    seems like the only new "content" we are going to get is lockbox after lockbox.

    Unless they change what their course has been so far, I'd say that what you're saying is quite unlikely.

    I'd definitely like more content than we've been getting the past 5 years. That would take an influx of cash that this game is probably never realistically going to get though.

    I think a basic search function allowing the player to input the toon name in an entry field shouldn't be hard to do.

    This.

    Even those that do not care are generally not opposed to it.

    I mean, I only have three characters that I play regularly, and only five total on my character selection screen right now, but I wouldn't be opposed to being able to rearrange the character screen.

    For people that have several characters I can see how it can start to become very inconvenient when the one you want to play now is in the middle of a massive field of characters,

    Heck, even I would take advantage of this feature, and like I said, I only have three characters that I am really concerned with.

    Is there a numerical variable associated with each character (When you log into account character show up in a specific order).
    Can there be an in game or Web based interface that lets you increase/decrease this variable to move a character up or down the list. This way character in a specific SG (even if it is just your personal SG) can be grouped together. Character of a specific theme and be grouped together and if you have a few character you do not mind deleting and rerolling you can place them at end so deleting a character does not affect grouped characters.

    This is coming for a player that reached the 100 character limit and is afraid to delete earlier character that will affect having groups of characters all on one character screen and not wanting them to be spread over multiple pages.

    Any devs able comment on what being able to sort character will entail.
