Mobile App

i can see up to "origins" when looking at it vertical; when horizontal i can see up to "maps" oh i fingered on origins and it scrolled (me being stupid)
Samsung tablet Galaxy 2

if you could zoom in the map that would be cool
when the game is out and NDA is lifted could you put vehicle images and rotate around them be also cool
if you could have to countdown timer to a pull down menu for your current time zone that your in
instead of a black background ask for permission to have a screenshot a nice panoramic view

thank you for making this app

crazier ideas: like heat maps, gun comparison, break down old guns for there properties to build better guns

energy leech doesn't open up a text box or it unable to scroll down any further

A lot of good ideas, thanks.

You should be able to pinch-to-zoom on the map. That isnt working for you?

Vehicle images is a for sure thing. 3D models though, that is something I didnt think about. I will have to look into that.

The count down timer "SHOULD" auto adjust to your time zone. Are you telling me it isnt?

I like the background idea but the problem with colorful backgrounds is that often times it is hard to make the font stand out and be easily readable across the entire app. I will look into it though.

Gun comparisons are on the list once that data is available.

Heat Maps would be cool but displaying what data? I haven't been invited to an alpha or beta yet so my knowledge is limited.

For me, Energy leach (last item on Perks tab) does open but you have to scroll again to see it. Good catch. I will see how I can fix that.

Thanks for the input.

I had to use my wifes work phone to check it out, we both have iPhones, so can't wait till you release on Apple. That will be handy for my Ipad while ingame on the 360.

Is there a way to add a chat feature within the app? We could chat (text) with mobile players when they are out of game or away from there systems. Would be handy to hold an impromptu raid or such.

Good luck with the project, looking forward to using it!

Also, the buttons on the bottom scroll independently of the main page. Could be the issues. I will look into making that more apparent.

I have a Samsung Infuse. I could not get the buttons or the main screen to scroll. I did not use a browser, I just opened the app.

I will try it on my nexus 7 tonight to see how that does.

moving the thumb to index finger is that the pinch to zoom thing like on a regular google maps yeah it wasn't working last night when i checked it out. i just tried the map when i go to horizontal the map gets bigger but not zooming into the map
i didn't know if it was set for my time zone
heat maps well that was for post launch of the game they may say NDA; but in pvp zones your kills and deaths like halo does
if the text boxes are left in the black background and white text it might work, but try it out first if it looks ugly don't do it

and how about Ark Fall codes another idea
EARLY ACCESS TO THE TMW HANNIBAL 650R is on where you put in the Ark Fall code might be a vehicle

I might even do windows phone.

Go Go Windows Phone!

When I fully release it it will be available on both. Heck, I might even do windows phone.

+1 for windows phone :P

You forgot these weapons -

Pump Shotguns
Sawed-Off Shotguns
Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles
Sub Machine Guns

If you were cutting down Shotguns to 1 category then splitting them in the description you might as well do it with the sniper rifles too.

Also you should probably edit/add in these -

Blur - Also increase melee to full damage against shields.
Decoy - Additionally if you use the power again you will swap places with the decoy.
Overcharge - and reduces recoil

Edit: One more thing the scroll menu on the bottom tends to glitch out and bounce occasionally, usually does it when moving it but can stay on afterwards. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S2, I'm not sure why you would need a browser seeing as we are using the app.

I will look through everything more thoroughly when I get the chance.

Glad you were able to check it out on your wife's work phone. Hmmm... chat... Not a bad idea but, I hat working on chat features. It is a really good idea though. Could set it up with a push server so when a new message comes in an alert is sent to your phone... I will add it to the to-do list. Thanks.

Very interesting. Was a stupid question asking about what browser you use. The app is HTML, CSS3 and JS so my testing is done in a browser. My bad.

Just so I am double sure, if you try to scroll with your finger on the button row itself, it doesnt scroll?

moving the thumb to index finger is that the pinch to zoom thing like on a regular google maps yeah it wasn't working last night when i checked it out. i just tried the map when i go to horizontal the map gets bigger but not zooming into the map

Yes, moving thumb to index finger "SHOULD" be zoom out. Thumb away from index "SHOULD" be zoom in. Wierd that it isnt working for you. I will see about adding buttons to enable zooming.

heat maps well that was for post launch of the game they may say NDA; but in pvp zones your kills and deaths like halo does

Thats a cool idea. All depends on how robust of an API (if any at all) Trion puts out to make data like that available.

and how about Ark Fall codes another idea

I had that on my to-do list but actually removed it. I will have it in the next build. Maybe tonight.

Achievements/Trophies list and if the pc does them to

Hmmmm... that, I believe, is tied to each console. I dont know if they have API's to allow access to that.

Go Go Windows Phone!

I shouldnt have opened my mouth Will investigate the possibilities.

a list of the achievements, i mean

fingers together or moving away, it not zooming, it like a regular picture of a map

Thanks for the feedback. I must have missed those weapons in my research. I will add them for the next build and sub-menu them like you suggested.

Don't know how I screwed up the text for the abilities. Trying to code too quickly I guess. Will be fixed tonight. Thanks, and good eye.

App is written with HTML5, JS, and CSS and packaged with PhoneGap so to the end user, it looks like an App but in reality it is using your phone's browser to render the information. This allows me to write an app once, and deploy it to multiple platforms. The phone model is enough as that will tell me what version of android's browser you are using.
