If both PC clients are still allowed to use strafing, then why cant Apple/Android devices tap-spam to ice skate faster? Theyre both differences in movement input mechanics. Why are PCs allowed to complain about this?

Going 3-4x faster than other players is not comparable to strafing. It was a ****ty, broken mechanic and it shouldn't have been around in the first place. Also PC players can strafe everywhere else, why would it make sense to "balance" it for touchscreen players at a single area? That's because it was never intended to be a balancing mechanic.

Why can't we just rid iClassic of PCs and just leave it to the "i" ???

Because it's not even technically called iClassic anymore.

I guess you didnt get that I was only 3/4 serious and 1/4 suggesting that PC strafe should be removed too.

Hmm, explain.

Having an "I" in front of it implies it's iOS. It's multiplatform now.

Remove the other platforms and get it back to the iDevice. PC Classic had its time on PC, let iClassic have it's time.

I'd love to be able to strafe on an iDevice. Useful s***.

I don't think there's any way to detect input over a large portion of the screen(for example pressing your entire thumb over multiple directions) so I don't think strafing would be possible. I dunno, I might be wrong. I know on my Galaxy S2 it has motions like swiping your entire palm over the screen, but I don't know if iOS can do it as well(though I do know it has multiple input detection). In the very least, I highly doubt Graal has the ability to interpret such input.

A healthy amount now.

Also your logic is skewed anyway. What does PC Classic have to do at all with Facebook players?

Either way I've said it a few times, I don't wish this topic to be for casual discussion that doesn't have to do with updates posted.

Odd, I only see about 1/6 PCs.

You can no longer repeatedly tap when ice-skating to go super fast.

Y U DO THIS!
