I had planned to use the app to hunt today, but I can't even enter the level 2532 map, still get the error loading map error.  Last time I attempted a hunt, this went on for about 10 levels before it stopped, then picked right back up again a few levels later.

 

Will keep an eye as I go through the levels and let you know when and if this ends.

the movement directional buttons were removed, this on purpose? moving one step at a time is a double click now.. and if you are on a shop, stair, etc you can't move up one spot because graphic of shop/etc is in the way

I have to agree about this.  Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to use TP? (I could be half blind)

 

Also, although the map does eventually load, starting at 2546,  it still takes the app several attempts to accomplish this.

Hi Penny,

 

I'm sorry that you are still experiencing this issue, we are working hard behind the scenes to get it resolved. Hopefully wont be too much longer. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi RebornJedi,

 

Yes, the directional movement buttons was removed with the new HUD. We do have a new design in the works for how map transition will work but it was unfortunately not completed before this update. Will hopefully have the new system in place some time soon and we hope it will resolve the issues you are having with movement.

Hi Again Penny,

 

The teleport button now appears above the buff bar (Top Left) on the HUD when the teleport buff is active. Please let us know if you are not a fan of this change, we can always see if we can find a new home for it if need be.

 

 

Thanks again to everyone who has provided feedback so far, please keep us updated as and when you encounter any issues, and as always, happy hunting

I understand that this is your baby, but removing the directional buttons makes moving one space at a time near untenable.  You need to be able to move 1 square at a time to do a number things, from sweeping for SE's to farming for resources.  In our browser on a PC, we are able to do this by using our keyboards to swiftly move from space to space.  Even this option is taken away in a mobile browser, which is one of the reasons I was so excited to have the app.

 

On the app as it is now, traveling can only be done by double tapping on a square, and as Jedi mentioned, if there is a stairway or a quest location or a portal there, and you need to travel just 1 square, whatever is north of it is unavailable for double tapping.  This kind of defeats the purpose of using the app to efficiently hunt or farm or whatever other reason you need to travel.  I would respectfully request that you reconsider eliminating the directional buttons for this very reason.  I much prefer being able to use them myself than to a "joystick" which is actually difficult for my old fingers to use... I avoid other games that require a "joystick" for movement.

Hi Penny,

 

We do have a new transaction system designed to replace double tap to move but It unfortunately never made it into this update. We do believe this system to be an improvement and will allow for easy transition without the thumbstick/directional arrows and we hope you all like it when it's added to the app in a future update. This all said, we have had a number of complaints about the thumbstick removal and have opted to re-add it for those who prefer it. Sorry for the inconveniences with movement and using the app at this current time, but the next update will see the return of the movement stick and directional arrows to the game.

The app looks way better and is fun to work w/.

Thanks for making the action list a slider instead or the arrows

 

Can we get the walking arrows back please ? maybe add it as a toggle option in the preferences.

 

Edit : just read the reply above, and i dont know how to delete mine. So just ignore the arrow part lol

the button doesn't work, I have activated it then when pressing where to teleport to it starts walking there instead.

I think it would be better placed in the bottom right corner next to refresh or where it was before next to footprints.

Tnx for bringing back the movement arrows

And noticed u added an arrow to the action bar, thats great , a lot of new players didnt know they can move it.

 

When sending a mass msg, it opens a convo w/ every guild member on the app. so if u go to  the private msgs screen ull have 100 open convos w/ the mass msg written to all.

I completed my hunt on the app last night, and except for having to wait 30 seconds for each new map to load the temporary interface, hunting was smooth (0 lag people!) and fun again. I did notice that when using Teleport, I had to tap my destination 2-3 times before I would move, but this could be an issue with my device.

Hi ZoloKing,

 

I am really happy you like the recent changes, we are consistently listening to player feedback and making changes to improve how the app works. Please keep the feedback coming as it really does help the development of the app! 

 

As for mass messages, I'm afraid this is how this works for now, but we will review this as we can see how this could be an issue with large guilds! Like I said above, feedback like this does help with the development of the app and we will see what we can do to improve this in a future update!

Hi Penny,

 

We are really glad you are having fun with your hunts! Sorry for the delay in realm loading times, we are still working on the fix for this and really hoping to have this resolved very soon!

 

Thanks for pointing out the teleport issue, and don't worry, its not just your device! Will aim to have a fix for this in the next update! 

 

 

Thanks again for the feedback here! We continue to work hard behind the scenes to improve the app and we hope to have these issues resolved really soon!

Changed about 3 avis in the past few months, but the one on the app doesn't update at all. Not sure if it's just for me or not.

I think it's a cache issue.  My DQ doesn't always reset from the prior day either.
