The new character select is superior

[Xorno-icecrown]

Im sure they will keep realms, but it will just be like a last name formality. Now you can search all the realms and find your perfect name available somewhere.

I love how i can organize characters hoever i want now.

[Shazin-dawnbringer]

My only annoyance, aside from having to re-order everything the way I like it, was now my alliance and horde are all on one big list. I have them on separate servers and when the campsite was first introduced I was looking forward to having my four alliance and four horde on different ones, but now I can’t do that. That’s just a me thing though, and that’s fine, but nothing wrong with me being bummed about it. I liked having my horde and alliance away from each other, meh.

[Hedvig-sargeras]

I’d like the option to sort by multiple criteria.

Criterion 1: server
Criterion 2: level
Criterion 3: faction

At the same time.

I had each server sorted by level, main on top, then in order of level, separated into horde and alliance.

Thought I’m thinking about deleting a large number of alts I no longer play. Like, a gross amount of them.

[Hedvig-sargeras]

Dude.

I had over 60 characters.

Reordering that shiznit will take ages.

[Glaivedancer-area-52]

For the first few days I really disliked the new layout.

After reorganizing my list, I’m starting to get used to it and actually find myself quite liking it.

I do wish there were some form of organization to filter by realm, name, class without having to do it manually. Having the title of the realm name to break up the list but still keep it one long list would make it better.

It is nice not having to click the switch realms to access a character on a different realm, love that part most.

[Abotou-atiesh]

I have 48. It took less than 15 minutes for me to organize the list.

[Hedvig-sargeras]

Too long.

I got better things to do.

Give us sort options.

[Velaethia-wyrmrest-accord]

I’m assuming you’re OP otherwise that’d be a strange coincidence,.

I want to be able to search by realm.
I want to be able to sort by multiple keys/levels (Realm → Class → Character Level (High to Low) → Name (when multiple characters of same level), it’s how I sort my characters in the app I use to manage them).
I want to be able to create multiple groups.

Those are all good ideas. I think the new char select is good in theoryu but it’s just a foundation. It needs more features to be good in practice. All of these are good. I also think it should list a characters ilvl.

Keep it in mind that the entire concept of realms is going to disappear entirely. Everyone will EFFECTIVELY be playing on the same “realm” and the entire concept of choosing a server is going to be removed.

This is might be true, however since realms still do exist how does it makes sense to make them harder to deal with? They still use the same realm select window. Clicking on “Feathermoon 12” seems to imply I’m going to see my 12 characters on Feathermoon. But, no I’m sent back to same list with all characters. There isn’t any indication of which realm i’m on! This is basic interface design. As long as Realm is relevant to character selection it should be right there on the screen, and it’s not like there isn’t room for it. It’s incompetent.

I know there are still people who care about realm distinction. I personally don’t care anymore as most of my friends quit a while ago. If realms aren’t supposed to matter, and they can’t get the cross realm stuff working, then realm transfers should be free until realms are completely done away with, but of course those are not without problems.

Yes I know you’re trolling.

@Abotou-atiesh

can be customized however YOU want to organize your list.

Aside from moving characters up and down on the list, Iʻm not sure of any other customizations.
Weʻve been able to move characters up and down the lists for years now

The Search Filter is handy. Just wished “Realm” was included, as well.

[Ratjay-bloodhoof]

there is a “realm” tab at the top but i donʻt notice anything special when i click it. maybe im not paying attention

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

Correct, clicking on the Realms does nothing. What I’m saying is the Search Feature SHOULD INCLUDE a filter called “realm”. 'Cause you can filter out your list by “character name”, “levels”, “professions”, etc. But, not “realm”. I’m SUGGESTING “realm” be INCLUDED in the Search Bar feature.

[Zreicia-illidan]

All this changes now is what realm a new character gets created on.

[Ratjay-bloodhoof]

Yes a realm toggle would help because i have certain characters on connected realms i may want to get access to without scrolling through every lvl60-70 character i own

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

Send an in-game suggestion about it. I did already. Just need more back-up to flood Blizz with this superior suggestion.

[Zreicia-illidan]

Or how about adding the realm on the character tile on the selection screen? That simple change would (sadly) be a HUGE improvement.

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

Either way, works for me. I wouldn’t mind enhancing their new Search Bar, though. Might as well make it, IDK properly Search for our characters?
