Default Android client discussion

I use the Galaxy s8, up to date.

I like the hotkey buttons and the list of all possible assignments for the buttons. This will make my mobile nodding much easier. I hope to see more hotkey buttons come out in the future.

I particularly dislike the current pinch zoom thing. The screen will endlessly move each time I touch the screen. Perhaps a zoom bar that locks and then you can simply drag the screen around such as when viewing the map. Too much empty space for my liking. Hard to see/do anything.

I will add more input as I spend more time on the app. Ty so much glitch for this. My laptop is fried so this will allow me to spend more time in nod

Discussion anyone?

Overall a fantastic improvement from trying to use the internet version while on a mobile device.

Pros
Gems are castable while inventory is open (drawable too, albeit blind). Great because stacking trophies is still (I don't see an easy solution) a nightmare on a mobile device.

Easy enough to set up and the hotkey bar works for pretty much everything important.

Data usage is still very minimal, almost nonexistent.

Fits screen space on my S7 very nicely - would be perfect if I could lock the screen in place.


Cons

Battery drain is still insane. If I'm plugged into my phone at work my phone still slowly loses charge with dimmest settings. Full charge to dead while unplugged is probably 2.5-3 hours.

Chat button is gone. Pm'ing people is easy enough, but to use civil or group chat you have to click a face, delete the /t "name" and replace with /g. Bringing back the chat button would fix this completely.



Easy improvements
Chat button
Allow us to delete hotkeys and make our bar smaller (maybe I missed this)
Allow us to stack the bar two wide (2x6 allows gem bar to perfectly reflect the standard one)

Overall very happy with the first release of the beta, thanks glitch!

Thanks glitch. LG beast be damned. This app is the real Christmas gift for people like me.

Only real question I have is, is there a button for civil or clan chats or do I keep needing to click on a face delete their name and change to /1 or /c?

We need to add a chat button.

To deal with battery drain, you can try changing the FPS settings under Interface Options. If you lower the FPS to 20 or 30 while active, and to 1 for all other settings, you should hopefully get less battery usage.

Every time you touch the screen it endlessly moves? That sounds like it would be pretty unplayable, and it isn't something that we can reproduce. Can you describe the issue in a bit more detail so we can get a better idea of what is happening?

Now I just got back to check on this to see if anyone posted anything interesting in the last few days and to check something I thought I forgot to do, but didnt. Now I see that we are in a beta test for an app, so much better then the browser. I will say this is what I would like to add to this, as an Android user myself/using a Samsung Galaxy S8+.

Screen lock, it gets kinda annoying having to readjust the game from a spot from time to time.

Making the hotbar stackable, not just scrollable, to much open black space.

And if we can like the client (or someone can tell me how to do it) but be able to show the inventory/Storage below or next to or where ever you want on the screen.

You can go to window options and turn on floating windows.

We have the following planned:
-chat buttons or hotbar additions
-screen lock
-only showing viable actions on hotbar (during combat and out of combat it would change) so you have less clutter
-multiline hotbar options

Note that you already can change the hotbar orientation to be horizontal or vertical, which may be more beneficial depending on if you are playing in portrait or landscape mode.

Ah thank you, and with some of those setting were ones I didnt know I should mess with but I like how your already on board for screen lock and multiple hotbars.

Does it have the beast notification incorporated ?

Also I would to suggest that the hotbar can be modified from desktop too since it is way easier to do it from a computer.

Great job!

I don't know how things work but is it possible to refresh inventory/storage/gear ?

If you have less than perfect mobile connection and all icons are not loaded first time it persist for whole session.

Also gold chest won't appear and resourcing icons as well.

Game still playable but you need to blindly tap all over screen to find hidden chest

Okay, I got my Nodiatis the way I wanted, I manged to get the window screens of gear where I wanted it, but I had to use my mouse in order to move it, then I came across an issue..

Issue being that when you right click with a mouse, it closes out gear/inventory windows. I know a mouse isnt 100% meant to be used on a phone, but it can be handy from time to time lol.

iOS by the end of the year. Hopefully we can get a direct beta DL before that, but Apple may not allow the same flexibility as Android in that manner.

Notification is not incorporated yet.

Refreshing failed loaded images is on the December agenda. That is important for the reasons you mentioned.

Right clicking w/ mobile mouse: It sounds like the right click button on the mouse must be doing the Android back arrow (escape) function by default. Is it also functioning as a right click and opening menus, or is it solely escaping you out of open windows?

A lot of what has been asked for above has been coded, and is awaiting a roll out. If you click New Client below, you can see the pending additions such as screen lock, multiline HotBar, different panning/zooming toggles, individual window floating, and various fixes.

I like this client, pretty optimised. Now my list of suggestions that hasn't already been said...

Default hotbar Loadout: being able to change different hotbar setups corresponding to a specific toon. Being able to save a loadout on each toon.

Lock screen: won't let me forage unless I tap everywhere.

Stack over gems: won't allow me to replace my DD gem over another like it would do if I were to hit a number key on the computer.

Correction to my post above:
The HotBar actions are indeed ACCOUNT specific, not device specific. This means your HotBar assignments and binds (but not the HotBar size, orientation, etc) will carry over on a per account basis between devices. You can then (when HotBar is live on all builds) configure the HotBar first on your PC if you find it easier, however, pending changes to the mobile right click menu will make it much easier on your phone anyway.

when setting the change item hotkey it clearly says at first to click the inventory slot you would like to be set (not item) but it makes you click and item and cant click an empty inventory slot :\ was trying to test it to see if it was usable to nom trophs. it not but it also could help having preset hotkeys for the inv slots for if you move gear around inv a lot or have lots of spare items to equip for certian times like arena

Great features now that we can use them on standalone client.

Just a few question's seeing how we can now change multiple gear/runes/gems, i was wondering if when setting a single item to a slot for instance lets say pet on left side, would it be able to assign the right side pet, in a different slot in inventory, to one hotkey for example the letter z on keyboard? which changes both out simultaneously? so far it seems you can only do 1 at a time, which to me i feel unfair if the people changing full suits can change the whole getup and go all at once, seems it wouldnt be impossible to do that with pets?

Or if the above isnt possible away to assign multiple gear option's without having to use equipment sets? for instance 2 stalkers + degen arrow with 1 key bind. or hotkey.

I was also thinking the same as norman about assigning the inventory slots to an alter and nom nom nom, easier. however i was under then impression somthing for making nomming trophies easier is in the work's?

would also like to see the tracking skill make its way to hotkey, as well as resource tools.

im sure alot will add what they would like to see added also

but overall great update Glitch!
