Pending updates to iOS app

[CastleAgeBrock]

I swear I saw Paddy post somewhere saying which features from the FB game would be available on iOS after the next update, and which won't be. I have searched far and wide looking for this info, as I want to link to it in half a dozen other threads where people keep asking about it.

Can someone post that info here and then either sticky it or something? Or if there already is such a sticky and I'm being a total doofus and can't find it, at least link it here so I stop losing my mind? From all the rattling going on up there I swear it's almost all gone already :p

Spanks alot :D

you mean to say someone actually tries to update this POS iphone app? ill reinstall it after an update to test it again, but as it stands now its unplayable and a bandwidth hog, something an untrained NEWB would spit out.

[Kepemkeu]

So there is going to be updates or not? I want the Demi quests and an ability to complete promotions for fp. There very lacking and I can't pay to play.

[llXxRENNICORxXll]

They update often but it's not like most app updates. I've seen changes without having to update anything. Maybe the bigger changes like adding Demi Quests will require a new version update

[Drimascus]

New app update today. Nothing substantial changed =/ .

They fixed the Alpha chest showing as a Vanguard chest and vice versa. App seems a tiny bit faster when accessing the chat features.

At least this means they haven't abandoned the app completely (which I had strong suspicions of). I was having buyers' remorse from all the FP I purchased.

Yes nitice the new audio button in more section
App smother chat niw stores pevious chats

Would love to hear any feedback from CA on whether these larger features are progressing.

[Robdicate]

I just read about master/apprentices on the FB app. Are those still going on, because that would be another great thing to have on the mobile app as well.

This has not been in effect for quite a while now.

The games overall design aint bad but the UI is horrible. CA should stick with facebook app making and stay out off the iphone. God awful design. they either need to give it a major overhaul or take it off the market, hell it cant even design how to deliver perks when it wants to give them, look at all the favor point bonus issues, i still didnt get mine and i'm not jumping thru hoops to get it. just plain poor management.

[robtrygar]

Funny thing is dah if u are so unhappy stop posting about it all 9 of your post have been talking about how bad the game is.

Holy moly there's no way we are abandoning the app, it's doing very well.

We have updates coming along. Demiquest is one of them, are is Atlantis.

[VersionsOfViolence]

Demi Quests Hoorah!!!!

How about Festival & Guild stuffs being expanded?

[robtrygar]

Hey padaxan any idea when it will be released with demi and atlantis

Also i put some suggestions in the forum for sieges and others
Dont know if u know about the officers not being able to change annoucments i think it has the link for description instead of annoucment.

[Padaxan]

I don't know the release timeline, all I can state atm is the UI work was done it's in the Dev's hands.

[VersionsOfViolence]

Any plans of putting the app through a beta? I could volunteer. I'm good at breaking stuffs!

Nice! :D I can't wait, those demi points are crucial.

LOL at complaining about the UI. Since Padaxan started posting here in the Forum he's been (to my eyes) the most helpful and informative link to the Powers That Be, and the improvements that have been made to the FB UI under his watch have been game-changing. If there was one thing that I couldn't badmouth about this game, it's the UI and Paddie.

[WhatWhoMe]

I'm losing guildmates like crazy as they figure out they are simply cannon fodder for full-version FB accounts. It's tough to stick it out as friends drop out. Hopefully they put something out soon to give iOS accounts some hope.

Shame this isnt the FB section of the forums. If no one complained or badmouthed how would you know your doing your jobs correctly and trying to please everyone?

The UI is "too busy", the game continues to crash on the iphone3 and it still takes forever to transition (compare this to other iphone games, if you really need a clue I can show which games have awesome transitions). After the last update atleast the game doesnt cause my phone to go into meltdown, as much. Some of this feedback I've been giving are for crucial points of interest, things easily seen. If my boss told me I had to write a review for this officially, it would still be close to a complete fail-app just from the load times and crashes.
The one positive thing about this UI I will say with a smile, it reminds me of gaming on my first C-64.
Things I'd like to see; not have to reset my alerts every other week, not crash at all (atleast its up to 5-7 minutes now without crashing once), quick stash on the menu when double tapping coins button, number of items crafted on each item of the list in Alchemy, a better vault that takes less time to load than Towns to, 1-3 favorited heroes separate from the recently used list or 1 slot added to that list as a favorited hero.
Lastly, the favor points, there needs to be a way to earn them other than via blessings, I bought favor points initially, little did i realize, how hard they were to earn, then the price for them, and after seeing how much things cost it turned out to not be a very good ratio. Its a ripoff, and too boot, the promotion during that time was a big failure too, how many people didnt get the points they paid for ? I dont know if I will ever get mine, I dont care either, its a matter of principle in gaming, dont offer what you cant deliver. I just hope whoever got my money chokes on it. :D

We understand you are unhappy with the app. Your agenda is well heard.

General selection is hamstrung by other variables (server load mainly), but it can be improved down the line. We already have this slotted for improvement and have for quite some time. Keep in mind most of your issues stem from server load/code issues/lag and what have you, try and separate these backend issues from front-end visual UI.

Telling us to choke on your money isn't going to help.

I am not happy with the unfairness of iOS version vs FB version, the instability of the server. But honestly, I don't think you should blame UI, it's the least problem of this app IMHO.
1. "not have to reset my alerts every other week, not crash at all" is not UI problem;
2. "quick stash on the menu when double tapping coins button", if u double tap coin button, it will show up a menu to choose "Buy Land", "Buy Gear" or "Safeguard Gold";
3. I agree the hero selection can be improved, and maybe show the cool down bar for certain heroes.

Maybe there are some other improvements can be done on the UI side, but I would like to see other FB features being implemented first.
