I have been using the mobile most of today doing some agility, slayer and nightmarezone. So far the battery drain is about what is expected, easily counter balanced with a charger. Very simple to catch on to the controls.
The only negative I have ran into has been when texting or making a phone call while off a Wi-Fi connection. While I am connected to a Wi-Fi network I can minimize the Oldschool mobile app and answer phone calls or send text messages and stay logged into the game. When I disconnect from the Wi-Fi network I Obviously get logged out of the game while the phone switches over to using data. But when logged back in if I send text messages or phone calls it logs me off almost immediately.
The wilderness level icon is hidden whenever I have the inventory or log out tab open while traveling through the wilderness. Also, it's kind of hard to pick up a bunch of drops in one spot, maybe a rich click option for "pick up all"?
Also, it would be nice to see important game messages without having to have the whole big chat box expanded. For example when fighting the kbd to see when I'm frozen or when my levels have lowered. Maybe when a user clicks 'game'for the chat tab, just have the box be a third of the size since those important chat drops don't really need a whole box.
It would be really sweet if you could make pc players play with pc players and if you are logged on with mobile then you can only play with mobile players.
The reason is in the wild when you are fighting its a little hard and a pc player has a huge advantage in the wild over mobile.
when I have my Samsung S5 in Screen-Rotation mode whenever I try to flip my phone it glitches out and continuously switches back and forth really fast.
Small change when banking: in the pc version, having a tab open, then banking, then closing the bank returns you to the same tab. Say I am viewing my spells tab, after I bank the spells tab reopens.
on mobile, after banking the inventory tab remains open. it would be great if it returned you to the tab you had open.
I've been testing the new app by trying out different bosses such as Vork, Bandos etc. Not a bad overall experience but something that I think would make the experience 10x better is if we could re arrange the position of the icon according to what's more comfortable for each player. Since we cannot use *-Keys I think having the ability to re arrange interface icons would be beneficial when bossing.
Mobiles been great so far in the little over a month I've been in, last update fixed the keyboard not popping up issue and made the bank easier to navigate which were my two biggest complaints.
My suggestion is that the "Shift Drop" feature that mobile has be turned off upon log out, I like a dummy left it on from last time playing mobile the other day, and while gearing up for a farm run and using the GE I didn't realize I had dropped my full set of graceful minus the pants until it was too late
I also suggest there be a way to toggle drop warnings on untradable items like you can set a drop warning on items worth a certain amount, this one is not just a mobile suggestion but I would have never made this mistake on the PC client.
I'm not looking to get my set restored or anything like that (as nice as it would be) just hope no one else makes a mistake similar to this.
Chat buttons are kinda hard to hit, maybe make them a tad fatter? I would like the chat to remain closed if when you log off it is currently closed. (Maybe an option?)
I was woodcutting today, watching the screen to make sure my tree doesn't dissapear and I actually dc'ed before it ran out ( lucky and unlucky at once ). Logging on mobile is a lot more awkward than pc, therefor it would be great to have a reminder that you are about to be logged out to avoid this hassle.
Otherwise, it's looking pretty ******* great so far!
I'm liking it so far but have a couple things to mention/ask about
-ability to have a small/med/current chat box would be nice as i feel it gets in the way
-is there a 1click gameplay option? Holding down on an object can be kinda tedious, found it slightly frustrating when fletching seeing as when i string bows at 14/item the press down feels a bit clunky; i feel as if a 1click gameplay option like they have in rs3 would be beneficial
Keep up the good work, enjoying skilling on the lunch break!
