Mobile Only

Jan 10, 2015 cellsafemode link
I suggest that non-android and non-IOS ports be dropped. The mobile versions are much more in tune to the graphics level and complexity of the game than PC and Mac and Linux are currently and those platforms only offer minimal increases in players while costing a hopelessly non-proportional amount of resources to maintain and build on the number of players due to competing alternatives (both in graphics quality and features, though granted: a perfect alternative hasn't existed for some time but that time is ending).

The company would be able to reduce duplicate development significantly by dropping non-mobile platforms while at the same time reducing a cancerous mentality of negativity that's been growing in a ever increasing pessimistic user population that expects more than what has been delivered and what will be delivered. Something that mobile does not suffer from and probably wont for some time now.

By focusing only on mobile platforms, the game has a decent chance of getting significant playability advances and possibly gameplay advances within reasonable time frames without having to devote significant resources to trying to keep up with the latest eye candy and graphics in PC land, of which do nothing but contribute negative reviews and opinions of the entire game of Vendetta-Online.

While, PC contributes much fewer players in the game, the opinions of them on gaming sites and magazines tend to be louder than mobile platforms and that is completely detrimental to the future of Vendetta-Online. That voice is better removed than continued to be dragged along at a rate that is not on par (and has shown little hope of being on par) with what they experience in other games.

Considering I only play on a computer (Mac here), I won't warrant a response to this, as I doubt I could trust my fingers at the moment.

I believe our OP is engaging in sarcasm.

I first thought you were asking to get rid of the mobile users again... Then I re-read the title and thought "Why the heck does he call this thread mobile only if he wants to...", then I realized what my mind just didn't want to realize because it's soooooo absurd... Anyway, I think no one ever had that funny idead before. That I give you...

I suppose this could be up there with the running jokes about the next platforms to support VO were going to be digital watches and smart refrigerators.

I have a watch that I wouldn't doubt could run VO.

+1 OP

Doing this would save me $20 a month and allow me to spend my evenings and weekends reading or doing other more productive and meaningful things with my time.

This game was built and has been supported for years by those of us that play on PC and Macs, and now some NOOB on one of the new platforms that have been added wants to take the game completely away from those who have faithfully supported it for years. Just how stupid can the OP be and how stupid does he thing the Devs are?????????????????

In my, and several other faithful PC/Mac players, opinion, there has been tooooo much time and resources put into the adding of all these mobile platforms recently.

Because he was hoping that idiots like Crusader here would post something super defensive, like we just took away his lollipop.

Hopefully the OP will sit on his Android or IOS device and either the battery explodes, or the glass shatters.

Resident VO doctors Gerty and Ryan will then get to finally try out their new surgical procedure for a brain replacement.

I've only played on my mobile kindle until last night when I put it on my Mac. What I have found is that the game is very choppy on the mobile, it's playable and fine for activities such as mining and low level botting, but for PVP or taking on high level bots I will want to be on my Mac. The Mac has no lag and the game runs super smooth. That's one of the appealing factors for me that this game is multi-platform. I do however agree that mobile is most likely the future of this game, but to totally stop providing service to the long time supporters would be morally wrong (although probably good on a pure financial basis only). I believe if the game can configure controls suitable for the iPhone, and offered in app purchases as opposed to a monthly payment payment plan that the sky would be the limit. However doing so would most likely require a separate sever. One server for the status quo, and another for the above.

" I do however agree that mobile is most likely the future of this game, but to totally stop providing service to the long time supporters would be morally wrong (although probably good on a pure financial basis only)."

I think it is highly UNLIKELY that mobile is to be the primary platform for this game.

Holy shit. Mobile as a platform is mainly a way to get players in the game. The game is in no way designed for it, and its a wonder the devs made it work at all. Props to them. The idea that the game abandons its roots is absurd and shows complete lack of intelligent thought. Most players who love this game will probably switch to PC at some point. I sincerely hope the game grows and becomes among the many successful PC games on the internet.

I often like a good troll post. This one did not satisfy.
