I know this has probably come into talks ever since slasher has come around. But would a ladder slasher app be worth it? Would there be an actual base of consistent players that would use this app?
I know I would while I'm at work and other places. I honestly think it would do well on the play stores for androids and whatever market place iphones have. Other opinions?

It would be nice for some skilling
But for clicking? no thanks, if i ever played with someone using a phone and click worse cause of that i'd instakick that ahole.

I don't see how clicking would be an issue, especially on a phone or tablet. You could full screen the game and just by the movement of your thumb, or finger if you have it
laid down on a flat surface like a table. I don't see a delay or bad clicks at all.

There are no plans to make an app for LS

Just no...

All i'd like would be for skilling, no other clicking at all!

You still need to use abilities and dont tell me "yeah but u can click them up on top" NO, thats not an option..

i do it all the time




the game already progresses slow enough with updates we do not need his time drawn for a crap application that would be of no use because you still have to be a member of d2jsp to PLAY LS. This has been suggested mor times then you have posts. The answer has and will be no.

The app could require membership so that's not a really good argument nor reason for it not to be developed. It could bring new users and exposure to the site.

This topic has been beat to death, and it will most certainly never happen. would be useful for skilling and even soloing could be possible with the right implementation.




main issue I see is the lack of a dev team, lack of resources, and the lack of desire. 10 people saying they would use it isn't exactly motivating, although I can say it's been almost a year since I slashed, but I play mobile games daily when I'm on a bathroom/coffee break at work, and I would use a mobile app.

Definitely would.

i would definitely use it

maybe a tablet/ipad only app though.. anyone playing on a phone would probably struggle to click properly due to small screen

I started on an android version a few months back, got it to the point of logging in and showing the list of characters, but that was it. Recreating the UI from scratch is quite a large undertaking, and there are many areas that I still don't have any good solutions for. The other problem is that I wouldn't do an apple port, due to their ridiculous (and yearly) fees to even have your apps on their app store (and the fact I own no apple products). Other concerns are things like speed, higher latency from phone networks, etc. Plus, I still have a crazy amount left on the main version of the game, so this would detract from that (though I would argue not necessarily needlessly, as it has it's own benefits). Most likely any initial releases would be on the order of getting all the various proficiencies working, and then moving onto more complex things after that. Still, even that is more complex than it sounds, because the entire item system has to be put into place before even that will be workable, since all skilling proficiencies are based upon items.

All that said, I haven't tabled the idea, just that it's very low priority.

So... maybe someday?
