Woooooottt!!!!! Does this mean its going to be released very soon?! I'm so! Excited!!

**shadywack** · 10-11-2010, 03:14 PM

I dunno man, but I'm pretty excited too. I'm hoping for a very soon type of release. It's right there........ taunting us

Looks awesome. I kinda figure that, as the article says, the PC client was basically due to the number of players who plug in to play on their mobile devices for long periods of time, and to a degree I'm very excited about. However, I'm a bit surprised there has been no discussion of how that may unbalance PvP. Sure I guess serious PvPers may just farm on their mobile devices and only battle when on their computer, but wouldn't that be a shame?

Would be quite different with PC though I think. I played a bit on iPad and didn't find it to be all that much of an advantage. With a PC, the game would be completely different, and it would seem like the advantage in PvP would be pretty monumental.

Woot! Now .... I want this now! Lol!

“All we are working on now is the transaction layer,” said Gary of the PC and Android games, shooting for launch yet in 2010.

That sounds promising but at the same time it sounds kinda like we may not see it till next year. Kinda make's it a bit edgy....

Also why would PC players have an advantage? They are keeping the same playing area so you wont be able to see more, and clicking with a mouse can be slower and less accurate sometime when compared to finger clicking.

Ugh, I just have a feeling now that we'll be taunted by this stuff for months. They say "before Christmas" which means the last 5 minutes before the close of business before Christmas Eve. Expect this sorta stuff with all this huff and puff and worthless announcements and sneak peaks until December 23rd. This is gonna be a long ride of BS.

Key bindings.

I doubt there will be any keyboard interations on the PC version. Everything will be done VIA mouse as I am sure they have thought about this. The only thing I could see as an advantage is and old program that tied a key to a screen location and click, but I have not seen that in quite some time.

If it is not possible, people will make it possible with things like you mention at the end there. That's just the nature of PCs. You can pretty well do whatever you want. Perhaps the devs have given this some though, and have means to avoid such things, but that's what I meant about being surprised by the lack of discussion on the topic. We really have no idea...

This will be hard to do considering your mouse can only be in one place on the screen at once, yet you can use 2 fingers on the iphone to walk and click at the same time.

locking the up, down, left, right keys as the only keyboard keys used would be possible though. A player with a G15 or better gaming keyboard would be head and shoulders above anyone clicking or touching a screen in the way of reaction time, and timing things like combos.

**reddragon72** · 10-11-2010, 04:26 PM

Yea that is what I'm thinking, they will severly limit the keys as they have already created several other games, so you know they have already given this some serious thought.... or at least I hope they have.

Yeah, I think the PC folks would be at a disadvantage--trying sucking down a mana, a health and hitting a skill button simultaneously with a mouse. Thank heavens for touch-screens!

So true. I don't get what the advantage there would be. In fact it's more likely to be a disadvantage
