Just saw an email that following a four hour maintenance period on Wednesday, we'll see the new version of eservices.
Anyone in the know, know what new features will be there?
BTW - It seems that new features have been getting rolled out for the past few weeks. Anyone else notice the additional links, modules, and reports?
The new version is basically a face lift of what we have now. I've attached a screenshot of how it exists currently.
Somebody here plays WoW.... (I recognize the icon for WoWHead anywhere.)

Yep, reminds me, I need to get going on leveling my alts during the midsummer fire festival this week.
I just had a Balance Druid ninja a Strength/Stam cloak that drops from Ahune. I'm a little miffed.
I would be too, I'm not up on druids, but is that even good for bear spec?
Nope, Strength does nothing for them. They rely on Agility and Stam.
That's what I thought. Gotta love people like that. One of the pluses of being a mage, no one really tries to take my stuff.
Except those dirty Locks*.
* - My main is a Lock**.
** - You do realize everybody else is reading this and either saying "wth?" or, alternatively, "neeeeeeeerrrrrrrrddddddddsssssss!", don't you?
As a note to your second note, a third option is "yeah, not outing myself as a player"; also, Metzen said it best a few years back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_uAbmka5Ko (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_uAbmka5Ko)
As for Locks, I haven't had much issue with them, then again I simply remind locks they are hunters that wanted to be mages.

Sir, dat dere 'em fightin' words.

Even me, the super geek, got lost. I've played WoW once or twice but my machine stopped supporting it for some reason.

Any one reading CAPTALK....is by definition a nerd......so there you go. :)
Well if you think about it:
Pure DPS classes with pets in all specs:
hunter, warlock
Pure DPS classes that focus on magic:
mage, warlock
Either warlocks are hunters that wanted to be mages, or frost mages that wanted more pets. Considering mages know we're the superior class, only an insane one would make the decision that more pets than the frost elemental would be wanted/needed.
Oh Tim, your geek is showing.

It's been showing ever since I went into IT. This is also nowhere near the level of geek from my old job.
As someone who plays a hunter as my main, not sure if I should feel insulted or not... :P
For those that are curious: Krivv - Hyjal
So what uniform is appropriate for these characters and their activities? >:D

Depends on their faction of course.

Whatever they can loot.
Then you'd also have to factor in the different classes and specs. The uniform for an arcane mage would NOT work well for a rogue or feral druid. You'd probably want something different from a fire mage to a frost mage too (thinking of heat and cold weather safety here).

Okay, so stupid question. My eServices looks nothing like that. I like that layout. Is there a way to change the format?
I herd that the new WOWM 39-1 is approved and should be released any time now. >:D

If I understand correctly you'll have the option to make yours look like that after the maintenance is complete tomorrow.

Come Wednesday around 1200 CDT (approx, hopefully this won't be like a major patch from Blizzard) there will be. Some people were asked to test drive it for a bit to make sure some kinks were worked out. I happened to be lucky and be in the right place at the right time.

Does it take into account the different factions or even the neutral "faction"? How about all the different terrains we can fly over?

Hopefully it specifies that PvP uniforms are not allowed for Raid missions.

Hopefully, but I doubt that would happen. It would remove a class of players from being able to wear a certain type of uniform based on only their choice of participation.
Never Played WoW, But....
I did play EverQuest back in the Day..... Ohhhh....Then alot of friends moved to DAOC, which I never Did.

Be sure to check for updates. The Curse client is pretty helpful, though I don't know if they have a section for eServices...
Hmm an eServices DBM that tells me when a report is about due. That would be awesome.

And yet we've managed to avoid the main uniform topics somehow.
Can NHQ give us 7 free days of CAP time to see if we want to resub or not?

I guess it would depend on the amount of time, and service interruption, on NHQs end. At least we don't have to pay $15/month

Wait until the new 39-1 drops, with the revisions to the blue uniform...

I would say that is suitably different at low light and at any distance, what say the masses?
I think that works...assuming I rebuild my mage.
I just got finished with a mass 2B filing for the majority of my characters....
Personally, I'm partial to Tier 8 or Tier 5 mage sets, buuuuuut they aren't really blue...

Thankfully that's going away with the next xpac!
That staff is clearly a safety violation.
I just got the option to get in to the new eServices, so it is there. They may be doing a slow roll out.
I got stuck in the new eServices - anyone know how to get out of it? It logs me out when I try to go to my promotions track report.
I signed up for it. And I only have one thing to say:
"How do I get out of this chicken **** outfit?"

Looks snazzy!! :clap:
Click your name in the right corner to go back to the old version.
Did it not give you all the option to view the tutorial/introduction to the new eServices when you went to it? One of the things in that video was how to get back to the old version.

Please submit a help desk ticket (click the Help Desk link bottom right hand side of either version) so that NHQ/IT can resolve this issue.
You have been selected to test the new eServices. Click the link below to start exploring. If you would like to go to the new eServices when you log in, check the checkbox below. If you find any issues, please let us know through the help desk with a subject of "eServices Beta".
ETA:
Looks OK. It's pretty much the same book, with a different cover. It might be easier to navigate, once the interface changeover is complete, and you can customize it at will.
Seems like the "new" eServices is basically reorganization of the main page.
Which is fine since most of the functionality should be familiar.
It looks more like capmembers.com (https://www.capmembers.com) now.
I checked the new version of eServices; my first response was "Meh. It looks okay." The squadron statistics feature is interesting, to say the least. I think I'll try it for a few days and see how I like all of it.
Update: I tried looking at some stuff, like my training qualifications, and I got taken to a page with the old eServices look. Guess they haven't quite updated everything.
I've been running into some broken links. It looks sort of pretty to me.
Please report any broken links to the help desk, or even here and I'll pass it along.
A feature you all may not have discovered about the Statistics widget is if you click on the icon at the top right of it, you can expand the timeframe and even look at different units.

The facelift so far has only extended to the main page. If I recall from when I was first introduced to this, the plan is to migrate each application in time.

Last I heard, there are plans for another widget to have the current stats (instead of the latest being the end of the previous month), likely with links to the email gathering page.
I was "selected to test the new eservices", feel like I hit the lottery!!! But, not a bad start as I find my way around the new eservices.
I think that screen is from when they were actually selecting people. Now everyone sees it. ;)
I'm not thrilled with it, have to re-arrange stuff. I actually don't like all the stuff hidden. Some things are not where you'd think to look at first.

If you could send me a list (email or PM is fine) of what is not intuitive with the locations of certain items I'll be glad to send it forward.
Where do you find you Qualifications on the new E Services?
If you don't have access to the restricted OpsQuals, you can click on the trophy icon near your name at the top of the page and then click on "Qualifications".
Not there, I had to go under the reports tab.

I'm trying to make some sense out of the member stats.
I was excited to see, in theory, membership numbers back to 2003 for every charter in the country,
but just looking at my own wing's 000 unit, the numbers look too low by about 30%.
It's entirely possible some house cleaning has taken place, since I didn't go back to compare,
just my first-pass glance.
