An iPad is annoying to hold, the pads are too far away to tap them correctly, and typing takes way longer. Our only pro was being able to see more than iPod and iPhone users. This got taken away now- so what now? Either make the iPod and iPhone supershrink see way less, or give an extra buff to the iPad.

Wait, why do people have the impression that because they have an iPad, they need a buff, or advantage?

I could ask you the exact same thing for iPods and iPhones- why did they need the buff? And my answer to that question would sinply be to keep the game balanced. It's harder to play on an iPad, and therefor it should have something to make up for this. This used to be the bigger view, but now that this has been taken I think something else should replace it.

ipods had a smaller screen, therefore they had it harder against ipad players (dodging etc) and they couldnt see that much

How is them having the same capabilities as you a buff? It's not, it's a level playing field. If it's harder for you to play on your iPad then maybe they should fix the controls, not artificially balance the game with unrelated things. In fact, it was never intentional. The reason iPod's could never zoom was because of resolution limitations. Now that they have Retina they can display much larger areas.  

You bought an iPad just for graal... That's your first problem. Go outside and enjoy life. Not spending $600 on an iPad to play a virtual game you're going to quit sooner or later. You must have also spent nearly that much on gralat packs, as well. Then while this is all going down you complain about how much iEra sucks. This is why I quit GraalOnline: you guys are ******ed.

Funny seeing you talking about this when a few months earlier in a thread that i started you thought this was not possible to do on this devices.

When Retina was first released on the iPod's Stefan said it couldn't render Graal at 1:1 resolution because it didn't have the power. Lo' and behold, many people complain that Graal lags when they zoom out on their iPod's. Also if you'd paid attention I said that's what Stefan said, not I. If you want to complain that someone doesn't know what they're talking about, complain to the guy who said it(and also happens to be the one coding the game).

Not that this is in any way relevant to this current discussion, other than the fact you seem to want to throw needless jabs at me.

Next thing you know, he'll post about how the grass is too green.

If you want someone to complain about the grass, I can't stand the grass on iEra. It's even worse than the Pics1 grass.

Also I concur that this thread is stupid.

Eric, why on earth would you buy an iPad just so you can get a bigger number, that goes on your profile, in a game? It's completely stupid. If you rely on things being bigger to make you feel better, I can see some real problems in your future. This update doesn't hurt you in any way. In fact, it's more likely to strain the iPhone and iPod players eyes. You, however, have a nice comfortable size, making you have the advantage over the poor players with bad eyesight. Good for you! Be optimistic.

Well said, and personally I fully agree. First of all, Eric your stupid for buying something worth £400 to be used on an app worth £1.49. Secondly, your not meant to have an advantage just because you have a bigger device. It's called making the game balanced for the poor side of the society of era who lack the money or are not idiots like you are. I think the updates great alongside many others. Atleast when you complain think of a valid reason before hand.

Peace

Callimuc, I'm not like "ong era scammed us once again" if that's what you think. I'm just saying the so called "balanced gameplay" isn't what it used to be. iPad have a bigger screen, therefor the pads have a bigger distance between them and it's harder to play. Only pro they had was the bigger screen, which has been taken away. And Dusty; fixing the controls (I wouldn't know how, but lets assume that) would be a buff, as playing is made easier.
