    Default Is anyone here in enough denial to think they can keep up once PC users start gaming?

    See title. Having a larger screen, a mouse, keyboard and a game pad or gaming mouse to map keys to. GG phone users in POCKET Legends pvp. Makes me sad to think about how much of a hit quality wise this game will take once PC use goes live .

    I hope it's not the death of those who put pocket legends on their feet.

    Well, we will still be on top in pvp because fingers are faster then a mouse, but however the gold farm companies will probably hit pocket legends and the ex wow and runescape players, possibly destroying the ecosystem and sense of community pocketlegends has here. Well that is worst case scenario, but I sincerely hope this won't happen and somehow it will all be a smooth transition kind of like the droid coming to pocketlegends was.

    its actually harder in my opinion to play on a computer. it is much MUCH easier to tap away than to point and click. Of course, PC users will likely be granted hotkeys(i hope im one of them) and there is no doubt in my mind that button mashing will be all the rage. still, PL is all about hitting auto attack and moving around, and strategically using skills. i doubt it will make any big difference.

    Kinda ruins the point of POCKET legends since pcs cant fit in your pocket very well

    Competitively it will be the death of phone pvpers, its much easier to target with a gaming mouse, and of course they will have hotkeys, you cant jab your pc monitor. Much more pinpoint precision as well when players are grouped and you target with a mouse on a 20 inch monitor

    As far as movement goes, have you ever tried moving with a mouse + keyboard vs a phone? Much easier to kite and move in general with a mouse. Now i really like this game, thats why the whole pc issue annoys me. I was a 3 time WoW glad, if the situation is as is its a level playing field and is fun. It will lose that with pc involvement.

    lol.. have you ever tried to play computer games competitively? compare it to say, sniping on a PC. its is pretty hard to move the mouse accurately and click opposed to touching. but i suppose we will beta/alpha test the **** out of the PC anyways.

    why do ppl compare this with WOW ??? the only thing in common is they are both MMOs and thats it... this is no where close to WOW nor will it be anytime soon so why do ppl comapre?

    Just because you have an apple does not mean its the same as my orange even though they are both fruits....

    The screen size should be no bigger than that of an iPad.

    Know ones really gonna play this game on a pc. Let's be real, wow is the only game in town, and there is no way someone is gonna stop playing wow and start playing this seriously enough to pose a real threat.

    People play this game for it's portability. I'm mean, I lay in bead and play this. Also, I quit wow, because it was way too addictive.

    Frankly, I really think they should focus on phone development, because that's it's niche and it's the wow of the mobile world. It'd be foolish to try exert any effort or resources to content with wow. The mobile world is growing very quickly, so they should really focus on that avenue.

    In any case, this game would suck if it were on the pc. Haha...it's great for a phone but would suck for a pc.

    Yes, extensive MMORPG pvp experience, this isnt an fps game. Its much easier for good gamers to use a keyboard and mouse over a smartphone. A speed pad or gaming mouse would tear up in this game...even a regular mouse and hotkeys would be a big advantage. Thats why i know how this will turn out. MMO pvp since 96, UO, EQ 1 & 2, Dark Age of Camelot, Age of Conan, WoW, Guildwars, Warhammer to name a few.
    How about you?

    After a few months learning curve, smartphone pvpers will be left in the dust. Not due to skill, but due to limitations of the platforms

    I think there is too much sky is falling going on in here. We have no idea how they will let us control characters from the PC yet and you may need to purchase platinum in order to unlock the PC client.

    When they come out with computer I'm pretty sure you'll only be able to play other computer players...
    There would be more than 10x as many people who play the computer version than the itouch/droid. It would change the whole game, so I doubt they'll be using the same servers (if it's even possible to). Never seen a real-time online game run on both a computer and droid/iPhone on the same server.

    If thats the case Ill be very impressed with the dev's intelligence. Instead of only seeing a bottom line it would show they take pride in a quality game

    I already suggested that awhile ago and last I heard it will still all be integrated into the mobile servers.
