Even when i try to organize a list in the mumbo jumbo. few minutes to test, as soon as you close game reopen your changes to the organization isnt saved. Should be a button to view everything as classic as a quick temporary fix.

if all my characters across two realms are now listed on one page, why is there still a ārealmā button at the top which for actually does nothing since it just refreshes the page giving you once again the entire list of all chars.
who is responsible for this mess?
20 years been playing two realms: alliance on one and all horde on another. and now all combined on one page.
/smh

I donāt play consoles. But I canāt help wondering if the visual look of this UI is something Microsoft thinks will work better for the Xbox?
Oh God, I feel your pain.
I have alts on many realms but in my case I gave them all different names because Iād be mailing things. Iām glad I did. I canāt imagine how bad it is if you reuse the same name (as many people did).
We just need an opt out of this character selection until itās production-ready. It is currently so feature-incomplete right now.
So I have 120+ alts on 2 accounts. Each account is an absolute unorganized mess. I donāt necessarily expect Blizzard to cater to my use case because itās not typical. I am in a fvery small percentage of players with a huge number of alts. I get it.
But your case (playing Horde on one realm and Alliance on another) is so common, Iām incredulous that itās been ignored. It really makes me wonder if the people deciding on these features play the game at all. Or maybe they just play one toon. Who knows?
But for anyone with more than 6 toons this feature is a strict downgrade from what we had. Before we had folders. You might call them ārealmsā. Now we have a single list with no sort options and no filters.
I really donāt care that 4 random toons are around a campfire. That is of zero use to me.

I donāt know what that means, but Iāll kill it before it kills me.
I would love a sorting system. I know I will spend a good amount of time doing it myself but I was shocked they donāt have at least an alphabetize button, thatās a basic organization concept.

And level. Wish you could search by level range (eg 20-30) and realm.

With the new character menu screen, itās hard to tell if a specific server is down until you attempt to log into a character on it.
(thereās a ārealmsā popup list now ā¦ not sure if thatās new or if I just missed it existed somehow)

lol Itās really very bad in fact. What a messy and ugly way for them to organize the new screen.
The warband screen is also very diablo-esque andā¦wellā¦cheap feeling. Itās jarring to have characters from every realm lumped into the same screen yet have four of them - for some reason - segregated into their own little grouping.
Overall interesting idea but as usual cheap and poor execution by Blizz.

I thought I would like it, but I really just think it looks janky. The characters have their weapons out sometimes, but sometimes donāt, and when they do the clipping is just horrible looking. Sometimes the characters are kneeling with the weapon drawn arm position, but the weapon is still sheathed on the back. It would honestly be better if they were just standing there looking dead than it is now.
And yes, you can ādisableā it, sort of, by removing any āfavoriteā characters from it and leaving all characters in the main list. HOWEVER, even if you minimize the Favorites section, once you log into a character and then log back out, the Favorites section is maximized again. It should, at the very least, remember the āminimized/maximizedā state of the Favorites section until you change it.
Itās not faster to log in, since when you go to a character thatās on a different realm than you are on currently, itās going to change realms anyway. Itās just done behind the scenes, more or less, but it still takes the same amount of time.
It takes longer to find a character if you have many, and yes, I know about the search bar. Sometimes you just need to look at a character to know if itās the right one, rather than searching by name or whatever other thing. Having it all separated by realms was better. And really, I have a pretty good memory for where my characters are across four realms, all of which have both factions, but the way they did this still sucks.
All in all, I donāt like the changes to the character selection screen at all. It was fine the way it was.

the new character select screen is pretty cluttered and its def harder to find my characters nowā¦ i guess if your a newer player with less than 10 characters it might be okay, but as someone that has played for 20 years its quite the mess.

A lot of people have always played WoW with different physical limitations. But since they already had the old scaling there is no reason this couldnāt have been a toggle for people who need a visual assist.
Totally agree with you, I was just pointing out that itās not just old people who may have vision issues, as was indicated in the post I was originally referencing.

I am wondering the ratio who uses the āmodernā scream vs āclassicā if the option is given.

Then order them by realm? that is what I did, or by guild. which ever.
thereās a search bar. Iām trying to be helpful, not snarky. I understand wanted to organize things, but atleast you can always get the character you want quickly with the search.
Yeah this is trash. Thankfully I only have 4 max level characters.
I have played WOW for years, and you know what? I love the warbands load screen, and the changes to the ui, Thiis has needed to happen for years! So if it takes me a little time to get things organized so what!
Love the changes Blizz
