We Got Some ANGRY Villagers Here!

[Snakespeare]

What I don't understand is that: If Apple has been approving all of STS's updates, wouldn't they naturally know that STS is trustworthy

I don't think they are reviewing on the basis of trustworthiness. Nobody gets special treatment.

What they are really looking for is something you may already be aware of, which is the overheating problem. From the start they rejected some features for iPads and iPhones like Flash support because of heat issues. But with the newest phones and pads they had a media issue (basically Android marketeers lobbying their hatred of all things Apple) because they allowing the temperature to go up several degrees. Cinco once said that he was getting some negative feedback about heat issues. I notice a lot of heat from these games on my "new" iPad (aka iPad 3). DL generates the most of all. You actually have to play for a few hours to get the heat high enough to measure.

Another thing they are testing is whether it crashes or utterly fails. As you know some Android devices no longer support Dark Legends as of the last update. Apple will not pass it if it crashes.

Beyond that, there are only about 4 dozen reviewers (according to what I read last year) and they get thousands of apps a day. The reviewers end up with about 45 minutes per app on the average. But since many are rejected out-of-hand, they actually get a few hours to spend on real apps like Pocket Legends. So sometimes the time it takes is how long until it gets to the front of the line.

STS is rightly proud that they have MMOs that are not restricted to any one OS. But the price for this luxury, which we ALL appreciate, is the wait time. Some posters here need to just be patient.

Finally, Apple gets 30% of all sales. The game is free, so why should they hurry? Because of in-app purchases? People are making in-app pruchases already. Plus, everyone knows the better way to buy plat is on the website. What's in it for Apple? 30% of the plat price only for plat purchased in-game on iOS devices. So there isn't a motivation to speed up the process even if they DID give special status to certain companies.

It's been 8 months since the last new campaign.

i hate the Apple process. I can't imagine any other company getting away with forcing people to go through a monopoly for internet content, especially taking a cut of all sales. Can you imagine if Microsoft required all Windows programs to be bought from Microsoft servers and had the right to approve/reject all Windows based software, while taking their 30% from all software too? People would burn down their headquarters over such a an assault on the freedom of the internet.

I can not imagine Microsoft testing all the programs that can run on their OS. But if they did, I bet we would have a lot fewer malwares and viruses infecting the PCs.

Apple.

Um, what does testing for compatibility issues have to do with malware or viruses? Apple now has malware too. Does that mean they stopped testing their software?
People write malware and virus using working programs. Nothing to do with whether a program is compatible or not.

ANGRY VILAGERS: We've reached our limit, this has to end! OPEN UP WE WANT HUMANIA!!!

Attachment 12141

This is a funny, funny pic, Lw! I love that you used your defrocked Ambassador, too!

To me it looks like a bunch of players who want, not to play Humania, but to burn the devs at the stake as soon as they find things in Humania to criticize.

I'm not going to argue this. We can accept the world as it is or bang our heads on this brick wall. It's not going to change. We can only change ourselves.

I've been an Apple user since 1984 when the world viewed IBM and Microsoft as Big Brother. I've spent a lot of money on Apple products. I have a vested interest. I am not objective. So don't waste your breath trying to sway this fanboi.

cool?

Fair enough, and I play PL on an apple iPad, so it's not like i dont use their products, i just dont like the monopoly aspect of their business model, that's all.

although the world can change, sometimes it just takes time
Otherwise, we'd all still be using MS-DOS! ha ha

[LwMark]

He said he was the one guarding it ..so i was just saying what npc said lol just a joke

Snake lol im not hatin the devs or wanting to burn devs at stakes.were just havin fun.devs can take as long as they want, the longer the better to make sure its the best
Cant wait its gonne be a full house. I love when new maps come out

Would of been a boring picture if it had a bunch of people an merchants sitting in CS saying buyung everything 82% off CS prices lol

[Snakespeare]

Oh but we will, Lw... we will roast them!!! hahahahaha

just kidding, truly

Honestly, I have high expectations for humania. After all they've had twice as long to work on it as any other campaign so it should be the best one they've ever put out. If it's anything less than spectacular I'll be one of the ones lighting the matches.

[LwMark]

Some posters need to be patient? Nothing we say or do will speed things up, we were just havin some fun lol

[Snakespeare]

^true

But I mean ... the price of having a multi-platform game is patience. (Don't take this as me criticizing you, please. I am speaking in the abstract.)

[LwMark]

No its cool..i unserstand i dont really care bout apple and droid thing..it is what it is you know

[Kixxler]

It is all down to Apple. Spacetime would just release it as a content update if it did not have achievements. You need to keep in mind that Apple need to review ALL the new features(Humania, Achievements) in detail. I am sure Apple will approve, as all client updates have been.

Don't take things too literally.

I opened the door for a while but the villagers were in a daze

[Conradin]

i texted my good ole friend the green rage monster- hes filming for the avengers 2, but hes coming with the whole team to break down that door in 2 weeks if its not out. The hulk will save us!

[Bilaxman]

I opened the door for a while but the villagers were in a daze

The bright sun in Humania dazed them. They've been in the gloom for too long!

[Phoenixking]

Same issue will happen to Dark Legends player coming back to Pocket Legends to play humania
