    Default Still working on it... what else?

    Hey folks, a little background on why this has been such an... exciting... update.

    This latest client rolled in all Dark Legends code (since all our games have a unified code base). This gave us things like achievements, and Energy (just kidding, we're ripping that out of DL too).

    It also introduced a unified UI system. We used to have different UI's for Android, Chrome, iPhone, and iPad. And every time we would update the game, we would have to update all four individual UIs. Now, we have a universal system that allows some differentiation between different resolutions, but makes it VASTLY easier to update. And this means faster updates.

    The first implementation of this obviously had quite a few inconsistencies with the old system. We've had two big patches out to address the annoyances, today we just pushed out these:

    Reduced size of overhead text font.
    Fix for icicle crossbow bolt not dying.
    The "switch skills" hit area now size of arrow on hud.
    Fixed the giant hand wave.
    Fixed a case where your target could get cleared when you have an enemy targeted and use a buff.
    World map should scroll when swiping, even if starting on a campaign icon.
    Attempt to fix chat bubbles by making the default font what's used for rendering chat bubble text.
    Virtual joystick - now moved to bottom corner. Options - added virtual joystick size slider. added friends online notification. Options should now be easier to hit on small devices.
    Fixed some (mostly pvp) zones hanging around after completion.

    We know there are still a few things left to patch up (icons and font on phone are still too small, more tweaks to iPad skill layout and close button)... but what else needs to be fixed from this latest update?

    As always, we so much appreciate your patience with us as we strive to make the games awesome for you.

    Thanks, and cheers!

    The most universal make people happy would be to make the UI as customizable as possible. Assuming this would be phased in over time, how much of it could we expect to customize ourselves?

    Give a set bonus for the new elite vanity and the older elite vanities. And smaller skills on iPad would be great!

    I like the 3D look to character screens. Have you looked at someone with a staff? It looks like the staff is trying to break out of your screen and smack you in the face (that's what she said?)

    One thing i have noticed with chrome (thanks a ton for fixing the spell keys, i can actually play now), much like DL, when you press space you interact with the closest npc. That feature can be useful when the cs is swamped and everyone is piled on the Artie Triplets, but when i'm running in a dungeon i tend to hit space to attack a mob and i'll end up talking to a nearby npc (for example the "Beach house for sale" signs in Humania). Is there any way we could keep this feature in townes but have it turned off in dungeons?

    Dunno Fluff... it is already a HUGE amount of stuff on the screen. We can probably do a migrating joystick and have toggles for other things. Anything specific you would like to see?

    G, is there supposed to be a stat bonus with the new vanity and old vanities? This will clear up a lot if you would answer. Thanks!

    Was thinking more of in the options. Example would be skill button size that you had to compromise between the four UIs. Perhaps that could be user side adjusted in a UI option pane so you only have to update one UI but players could have the feel they want.

    Edit: lol, post above me was not there before I chose that example

    * Make the joystick moveable up or down with a slider in options
    * not sure if you meant that, but make skill buttons on iPad smaller
    * smaller skills would probably fix this, but make the chat window not overlap the skill buttons
    * re-instate walk while chatting. In the past it was possible to walk while chatting. If you didn't lift your finger from the joystick and called up the keyboard, you could still keep moving around. I really miss that feature.
    * fix deselecting of items in inventory and CS. Sometimes, when selecting an item in your inventory, it automatically deselect it somehow. Very annoying when trying to clean your inventory.

    All above is for iPad btw.

    These are the fixes I could think of from the top of my head.

    We are looking in to doing just that with the button sizes, so you can choose your own.

    Got it, another cut coming tomorrow. Plus we'll be moving the iPad ones further to the right and moving that toggle switch up.

    Good suggestions and bugs folks... KEEP 'EM COMING, WE'LL KEEP FIXING 'EM!

    Some of the achievements might be bugged. For 'Bat Set Crazy' you're required to wear a L60 Chrioptera set, which I don't think exists. Also, many others and myself haven't been able to complete the 'Wanderer of the Wyldwoods', 'The Bully from the Bayou' and 'Fable of the Feudin' Crocs!' journey achievements even after clearing the possible maps.

    Thanks very much for the quick update concerning the joystick! Also the option about choosing button sizes sounds great can't wait for that.

    Every time Im switching Characters or something on the Main Menu page, I see a Running Man Load Screen? It would be very Helpful to remove this.

    Some helpful stuff noticed by my guild.

    Drop rates seem to be really low

    Skill size on iPad runs big

    There needs to be something notifying that inventory is full. Because when it's full you cant join maps and leaves the user confused

    The skill arrow seems to still be bothering them

    A few things.

    -I'd like see the ability to move the joystick. The Joystick on iPad is uncomfortably placed currently. Even more so after this most recent patch. I have my right hand centered at, let's say (5,0) which would be mid right iPad. This is comfortable for tapping skills fast and pressing potions and attack. Whilst my left hand is now uncomfortable placed roughly (-5,5). Sorry if the points are confusing (Using 10x10 grid for example).

    -I'd like to also see auto login go away. Every time I open the app anew, it auto logs me in. I don't like this very much.

    -During logging in, the first words 'Authenticating' are not centered. I'd like to see them centered.

    -During log-in, the words are grayed down and would be much sleeker if they were solid white.

    -During log-in, the 'Cancel' button for aborting logging in was removed. I'd like to see that again.

    -The running man is HUGE on iPad. It looks grainy and pixelated and gross.

    -Can we have a option to not have DotD open every time we switch characters or log-in....

    -Why does running man appear when you are on the Home Screen (Where patch notes, enter towne, etc. are) and press one of the above links and then close out of it? Say I'm on Home Screen and I press store. When I'm done in store and click to to go back to Home Screen, running man appears. It didn't used to do that before and I don't see why it needs it now.

    -When the game first starts, the Blue at the top of the fancy Spacetime animation is not completed so there is a random ugly strip of black.

    Here's what the strip of black looks like^^^
    Here is what the uncentered Authenticating looks like:



    And here is what the Second Authenticating, but no Cancel button looks like:



    In the examples above, notice the gray text.

    Here's a video of CS scroll bug... I believe it was intended to be swipe, but it's still Arrow Up and Down:



    (Lol pain in the butt.)

    Here's a video on new Running man on Home Screen as said above:



    Here's a video on automatic log-in:



    Thanks!
