Well, the lag more pronounced when i zoomed in. Maybe i just used to the smaller screen of iphone but the overall feel is slower on the ipad
@rrevbra - that is strange. We will test on our iPad Air today, but have never seen any lag. We do a lot of performance work with the iOS tools to insure that we are getting good performance. Are there specific things (attack animation, casting animations, moving) that you feel are slow and laggy?
I'm stupid, my earlier suspicion are correct. When zoomed in, the sprites become larger and i can see the whole walking animation. I perceive this as lag, but when i zoomed out the problem disappear. I just need to get used to larger screen (previously played on iphone)
@rrevbra - glad that it ended up just being different devices! Thanks for the confirmation. We are working on a big update to movement speed across all platforms.

@savant - we've got some really big ones just around the corner. World map ... Effect lists on map screen ... Episode 2 Act 2 Can't wait!
Good news Might I renew my request to enlarge the bottomleft UI elements, especially the *tiny* arrow to switch characters? And got two questions for you if you don't mind: 1) What is the maximum value for stats (if there is one) ? 2) Constitution stat: It states "...get xx HP per level". How is that applied exactly? Does it only get effective starting at next levelup, or is it retroactive? Example: I am level 5. I raise my CON from 4 to 5. Now I get 15 instead of 10 hp per level. Will I get the 15hp from level 6 onwards? Or does it calculate backwards and add the extra 5hp for the first 5 levels as well?
1) the maximum for stats & skills is 16. Talents max at 10. 2) Your total HP = (Level x Level Bonus) + (Constitution + Con Multiplier) + Any additional bonuses. So, its total and retroactive, constantly recalculated. 3) We will enlarge that button, thanks!
