[Client Suggestion]File Checker

[Mushy]

Agree, 2.0 client needs to be much better, its needs to be flash based and not IE based, add a file checker and have the log in screen at the title screen and not the actual client itself.

I had a few occasions back in beta where this happened and had to reinstall the game completely, if it happened now I would be extremely annoyed.

flash based instead of browser based? dear god no.. NOOOOOOO. no

I think someone is thinking of flashing ads and other animations, but really it would just be how its programmed, currently the launcher requires IE to work, its dependant on IE settings and things.

If you remove IE, or try to install via wine in linux or OSX you also need to install IE just for the game to launch, using flash would remove the need for other software (paticularly all the back doors in IE, IE fails and its time is over)

IE9 is quite good, not that i use it. but this game wasn't designed to run on linux and you know that going in you will have to take extra steps for it to run.. I personally don't want the game to require flash which is dying as is. its bloated and its crap. Adobe decides to update and bam the launcher could be broken. Keep it browser based.. OR make the login in c and not bother with either

Most other MMO's use flash based clients don't they ?

I dunno they are better than the crap client we have right now, we don't even get news updates via the client (granted that's got more to do with SE's lack of programming skillz lol)

Using flash for the client is nothing, you got bigger problems seeing as how Yoshi-p wants to use Flash for addons .. ROFL

Yea they will be user made addons, won't be forced upon you but the fact they are considering Flash for addons at all sounds to me like they have no idea.
