Why is the iPad Virtual Pad so high?

Would it be possible to have it appear wherever the user touches the left half of the screen instead? That way we can define where we are most comfortable playing for extended periods of time rather than being forced to play a specific way.

With my left hand, I hold my ipad with the bottom left corner in my palm, it just works better for me and is how I've been holding portable devices since my LCD Burgertime game back in the 80s.

Was worse in the beginning but there is to much space in between the fire button and the wall. Many many many times Ive started walking backwards when hitting it to low

I just got my ipad so I'm kinda glad I missed out on that if it was even more difficult to play.

I agree, the joystick would be much more natural below the emotes. There is no reason anyone needs to react quickly to a celebration!

Also, the touch move system is great, but you should disable the area directly surrounding buttons. Moving your hand fast for a health pot can send you careening into a pack o' mobs!
