GCD.

Get used to it.

It's not really that big of a deal, why should the developers allow you to unload all your skills in a split second. There are certain skills I think that shouldn't have a GCD; buffs and debuffs.

Why shouldn't they allow it? I think they will listen to their customers instead of saying deal with it. Their game is a good product and not everything new is always permanent. The makers of Coke didn't keep the New Coke recipe back in the day and say deal with it. They would have gone out of business. They essentially returned to the original flavor.

The amount of money to take a HDD image, make a temp app in app store, set-up a test server, and invite the "elite" community to said test server is small. Sure developing from scratch is expensive but basically cloning the server and then applying the update shouldn't be terribly time consuming.

I'm sure the handful of devs who make this game run will keep that in mind for 1.7.2. We could all use some tried-and-true slow game evolution. Why...I wish this update had been 6 months in the works and got bureaucrated into a handful of face updates and an intro screen that was daringly added, despite the overall dismal 62.4% popularity amongst the top 4% of players.

They didn't keep their original recipe either which included benzoylmethylecgonine - very good that they didn't!

Here's a list of changes:

* Updated New Player Experience! Improved player flow from application launch to entering the world, especially for new players.
* New Character Creation! You now see your character as they will appear in game while creating your character. You are now allowed to select from a variety of faces and armor colors when creating a new character.
* New Tutorial! The improved tutorial will better teach new players the basics of how to play Pocket Legends.
* Added Emote Pack 3: Kiss, Back Flip, Clap, Point
* Added Emote Pack 4: The FART PACK!
* New Faces are now available for purchase at the Magic Mirror!
* Oasis Towne has been completely revamped. Players can now walk into the Oasis pond and heal their health and mana! Daily quests have been added to receive additional Mystery Weapons, Armor, and Helmets.
* Account Verification has been removed. You can now Purchase Platinum, access the Offer Wall, and Buy All Content without registering your account. Registering your account gives you the ability to log in on any supported device, and grants you access to Dark Forest for free.
* A Global ability cool down timer has been added. Firing an ability causes all abilities to be on cool down for half a second.
* Character deletion now requires the characters name be entered rather than just typing "delete".
* Players can now purchase a revive for full health at the position of death for 1 Platinum.

* Added new Balefort Sewers equipment set bonuses!

* Joining games hosted by friends through your friend list now require a password if one has been set. Previously, you could join your friends' password-protected games without giving a password.
* Empty lines no longer appear in the crafting display

Hence the "essentially".

this happened to me once...if you have a SD card for your device try removing it and trying to install it without it in..this worked for me..good luck

Reduces lag

correct it reduces lag because lots or people stop playing because of the GCD impacting the game play. Less people means less memory and I/O being used up on the servers so faster and smoother game play right less lag.
So GCD is doing what it was designed to do, maybe in the wrong way though??

[Krischew]

The Global ability cool down is really a issues for players, please get it fixed!

[Dartagnian]

it's like someone gave me an awesome 386 computer and made the turbo button inoperable.

It's like someone installed a ceiling fan in my house, but took off the speed setting. I'm assuming the lights work fine. I don't care about the reverse thing.

It's like someone gave me a bag of M&Ms, but there's a handful of candy-coated rabbit turds in the bag somewhere.

It's like I woke up one day and I had an extra arm in the middle of my chest, but it doesn't have an opposable thumb.

It's like when I'm doing my extreme stunts in my flying rocket paragliding suit, but I'm not allowed to fly in the Alps; only around Fresno, CA.

You make me laugh out loud so hard I woke my wife up! You just made a fan. 8)

totally agree

[bravemenrun]

Agree, GCD makes the game feel slow. And dungeon runs and bosses take too long now. Not fun at all for a mage. Maybe cutting the time in half would help. But honestly I'd take the lag and ping spikes over this current change any day.

This is correct. For some reason on my android, large installs do not work because I suppose theres a permission conflict between the presence of an SD and Android installation of large programs. The best way to install it is to unmount your SD card. I have that option in my Android settings so I don't actually have to physically remove my card. Then uninstalling and installing should work. This happens for me for games like Angry birds too. Weird bug.

The flow to the game is great.
It realy saves half the time.
All the extra adds are awesome.
Long live diversity!!

Maybe some free plat for veteran players to realy test everything?! ;-)
And get more feedbáck on it?

Only negative is about the cooldown of abilities.
What were you thinking?
It realy disrubts the gameplay. And makes it less realistic.
At least make a difference between magic and fighting.

This is the first upgrade ever that i've seen to become slower instead of faster.
Except for windows offcourse, but that doesnt count.

I have never seen a fighter take a brake between moves to cool down, take a few blows and then start again. C'mon.. This only makes sence if u slow down the attackers also.

My humble opinion:
Please remove or change the cooldown and keep the rest.

Thnx for developing this game. A year ago.
Keep up the good work!

Please remove the screen -> shaking animation thinggy


Im starting to get annoyed with my screen shaking/buzzing (like YM BUZZ) all the time because of the emote thinggy played by an abusive player. Im using iPad 2 thats why I can see that my full screen shake all the time when they do the fart/jump thinggy. Is there anyway I can disable this animation thinggy?

Oh come on.. I already muted my volume/sound because of the guyz non-stop spamming Emotes Book I-IV.

I don't enjoy my screen shaking a lot every time I sit n Balefort Castle.. its really getting annoying and it gives me a headache :/

[Mothwing]

Or, as I said in another thread, put an option to mute emotes in the options menu

actually, i found a way to do this. IGNORE BUTTON!
