After the beta launch would you guys consider posting some sort of DEV thread with aspects and things you plan to work on. I'm not talking about a hard road map with dates but just something so we know your direction.

[atta222]

I hope HCS take this into account. I would prefer the app to be in portrait mode with the menu panel on the left that I can drag from left to right and do whatever action I want. Except when I press on world, the game becomes landscape mode. It's not wrong , I 'll only go to world when at home like hunting or farming etc... but I will be using the phone with one hand while in the train or bus or walking in the morning etc... o would rather play on the app in portrait mode and if the app stays landscape, I won't even open it and open chrome... I don't want to look like an idiot walking on the street with both hands holding the phone to check the log...


Also I hope the game takes pvping on phones in consideration, FS Pvp system is unique. The game can be the top best pvp game on mobile phones. There is no game like it.

As for hunting there are alot of competition on that aspect. And there are even better than FS. Devs should know better.

Also try to improve the UI. I bet a bunch of hobbyists can make a better UI than this. Just open any other game on Google play then open this app. Way messed up. As a starting point no need to make every single thing in the app looks the same on the browser... I mean you don't have to put the BP Picture just because it's found in the browser... lose those binds.


Try to make the app the main source of players in the future. Now people have mobile phone without even caring to buy computers. Put some effort in it. I bet with you that if you mad a good app, it 'll bring this game to the top.

But my opinion of the current app , it's crap. Don't be offended it. Judge it yourself. Open any game made by hobbyists , no need to check Camelot and those big mobile game devs... just any hobbyist game.

@atta222 Thank you for the feedback, I agree portrait mode would suit some menus better. We've been doing some portrait mode experiments lately, but only for certain areas.

Regarding the UI, the app is still in development and we're focusing on the functionality and testing first, so you can definitely expect an improvement on that area later on.

Sorry for I sounded Abit aggressive... Anyways I would really like to play the game with one hand in bus or car ... 2 hands would rather make me look like a kid when moving around.

I imagine the game app is like twitters app. The app opens on the scroll feed. There I can see The News , I scroll down, I see the Taverns Rumors, I scroll down to see The Titan Kill logs and SE Logs, It would be a nice Edition if we can see Gvg Conflicts logs too.

If I swipe from the left to right, I see my pic in small icon. under it I can find Character , Actions , Guild and that list.

If I press on Profile.. I get a Profile Page , I see my picture, Then I scroll down to see the Stats, Then the Bio. (Would be nice if we had the option of the Bio being hidden then appears when we press on the bar stating players bio) , to avoid players putting in long empty bio for annoying others. I scroll more Down to see the gear I am wearing and a button to change setups. And then the buffs.

As for the BPs and Invention Slots. I would rather have them as Icons on the right of the screen. If I press on them they would open as an over lay where I can swipe between pages or press on folders to change folders. There would be tick boxes where I tick the items then choose the action. For instance wear or move to X Folder or Drop and Destroy.

As a pvper, I just want to check my gear switch setups then check I have the right buffs then fight. That's why I don't. Want the profile page to be crowded unless I want to open that certain thing I need. I even toggle off my own bio when am on mobile using chrome for fast actions.

When I swipe from left to right again. I can choose world. When I do mobile switchs to landscape mode.

The current world is good as a start, but I don't like the sword part and the arrows. Well you can keep those for people who would like to use a joystick while playing on a tablet . But for touch screen users, at least for me. I preference that mobs appear on the right , press on the name to attack it or press on its picture to view it. The mobs will appear like in a wheel shape. The one in the middle is slightly clearer than the rest mob names. I scroll through them by holding the mob name and scrolling up and down.

As for moving there can be two options. 1 move by Joystick OR pressing in the direction I want to go to. 2 we can move by swiping right left up and down on the screen , 1 move per swipe. Double finger gestures to zoom in and out. And we can also press on the screen to move. At least this way the game will look a little futuristic and modern not super Mario year like game.


You can make a tutorial for new players it's no problem at all. Like how mobile moba games teach players how to play.

As for the rest it LL be easy for you if the game is in portrait mode like AH , Forging Page , Crafting , Composing , FS Market, Buff Market... All that is pretty easy later on.

[atta222]

It would be nice if I can see my log messages and Guild log in the scroll feed , at least the new messages. I can press on the header of the log messages to open it and see the full page of my log where there is filters and so on.

Also we can have pop up icons when I get a log message and so on that appears on the right of the screen....

[atta222]

Also about folders, we don't have to have that brown BP. It's mobile after all, I would preferred a scroll down menu to switch between my BP folders than the Brown BP that takes space in my screen.

[atta222]

Ofc. The matter will be different between mobile and tablets. Don't forget that most tablets now work with bluetooth keyboard and mouse, so people can hunt that way off they can even use a joystick to play on a tablet like the famous Nvidia Shield tablet. As for mobiles , it would mostly be the Pvper business, the 24/7 active players. The fast setup switchers , the fast buff buyers/ consumers. Fastly deactivate a Certain buff switch setup then buy another buff. Use lots fast and so on.

[atta222]

I think Arena will be trouble in protrait mode but it's still solved though... Just make it like Cards where you can scroll between them. Add filter options and so on... That's an option /idea... We can get more ideas... But in my opinion only the world would be in landscape unless a player always use a tablet in a fixed place so he wants to play the game always in landscape mode.

[atta222]

Let's just keep it this way. It's better always landscape for tablets while it's better always portrait for mobiles.

But as a start mobile users are way way too many than tablet users and who ever want the game in landscape will rather use a PC.

So in my opinion better let the landscape for a later phase...

[goolsby7]

Don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but since early am (about 15 hours ago) I can't seem to log on via the app. It pulls up the login screen like normal, but the "logging in..." Just flickers on and off reptativelt.

[atta222]

same issue. i thought its because i didnt update it but i didnt check tbh

[BadPenny]

I update things regularly, and as of just now, there are no updates in the PlayStore.  I also am stuck in an logging in loop...  Possibly things being done currently by the team have made it unavailable...

Just tried now and it logged in normally, but had a massive wall of text that looked like a code notification similar to an error that vanished after a second. Was well over the size of the screen so I didn't see it all and couldn't get a screenshot

Edit: got this when I tried to go to another players page so I could msg them

So we're close?

Currently I can't login, it says to update, but the playstore shows it as up to date :/

[BigGrim]

Hey there.

While we test the next version of the app (v0.5) against the live server it won't be possible to play using the current (v0.4) version. We'll let you know as soon as the updated version is available to download.
