well if the game is with chillingo now.. maybe they do extensive testing on it so they don't the same problems like with orions1 in combination with the bad feedback they upped the quality of their portfolio alot over the years.. so playing safe is surely better for everyone involved.. than to rush a release...
What's New in Version 1.2 Orions: Legend of Wizards has been updated in preparation for the release of Orions 2! The update refreshes the icon and screenshots and corrects some bugs found on iOS 4 Orions 2 will bring over 130 cards, some new, some well known to wield as the Deckmaster. It also features Wifi multiplayer using the Game Center multiplayer functionality so you can challenge all the other Orions PRO's. loooool i wonder who they got to write that last sentence
The Chillingo splash screen is changed but I don't know what else. The phantom cast bug is still there and for me, that was the biggest problem with O1. Oh well, at least we're a step closer.
"Update" = promoting their upcoming product. Oh well, if it means O2 comes out, they can put an advertisment on my forehead for all I care, just to have the damn game released already.
What about the purchase cards bug in the campaign? And yes, I know, I'm the only person in the known universe who plays the campaign. But the card-buying bug irritates the crap out of me (it's where you open the buy window in any given city-build screen and there are already some random cards in your shopping cart. It's lead me to some real charming verbal outbursts, lemmetellyou.)
-> And yes, I know, I'm the only person in the known universe who plays the campaign Believe me, you´re not! ^_____^
It doesn't seem like the Orions 1 update has added much (apart from a new app icon); they didn't even make it multitasking! What was the point of that update? Call me cynical, but I suspect it was released in an attempt to bring Orions to the attention of the masses in preparation for Orions 2.
Well, there is the new Chillingo splash screen and now the annoying flash after your turn. I tried to take a pic of it but never got the timing down pat. Amazing that it should have gotten past whomever releases these things on Chillingo. No matter, I would think after the release of O2, there would be no reason whatsoever to buy O1. That would be like buying a 2008 Camry when you can have a 2011 Lexus. Funny thing is, I will still play it. Just had a 20-minute battle vs. CPU. I was over 100 life and CPU was over 70 at one point. It just went on and on and on and I did not have particularly good creatures. I probably cast 7-8 Dark Lords in that game.
Yeah, that flash is pretty annoying but I can live with it. I love the duel mode but it's a shame there's no multitasking as all progress will be lost if you have to exit the app for any reason. I suspect O1 will be reduced when O2 comes out.
Next week? Apparently, it's totally out of the developer's hands at this point. Chillingo had a problem with MP, an issue with Apple's servers, hence the delay. The developer is hopeful that next week will see a release. Certainly looks possible from the blurb on the O:LoW update.
Well, I can exit out of Orions and go back in now (or take a phone call) without losing my game. Personally, I think that's pretty nice. But mainly I got all excited seeing the update and thinking it meant that Orions 2 was finally out... Guess not
i get the flickering as well, not like ill be playing o1 much anyways in a week or so, hopefully less
well somehow phantom casting is now alot more frequent for me with the new bugfixed update i just played a few rounds due to the update.. now i get another splashscreen, this weird defective flashing, more phantom casting and the news that orions2 will be around soon.. thats like a slap in the face.. "you are using outdated defective software, please buy version 2.0".. wow .. somehow i really thought they use the codebase (since its the same game after all) to update orions"1" with it.. like a sign of goodwill that they care.. obviously i was stupid enough to think that.. ah well i still have the old ipa in itunes.. funny thing is the mainscreen still shows 1.1 as the version where its 1.2 now.. so not even this can be changed.. bummer well i can understand all the fanboyism from beta testers because they where so involved in the process.. but as a customer i need to say this is ****ed up business again
It's the same bug as before and has not increased in frequency because the mechanics of how it occurs have not changed one iota. It occurs when you tap on the left most card to see what it does and then try to swipe any other card up to the board. The only way to avoid the bug in O:LoW is to ensure that what you are swiping up is the card you really want. If not, bring it back to the dock and try again with the card you want and it will work. This was totally fixed for O2.
ok, didnt know exatly what causes it.. so it was more random for me.. but if the bug is so well known and can be replicated, why the hell was it never fixed for the original?! ... and if its fixed now why not apply it to orions1.. ahh well pointless debate anyway.. whatever they "fixed" with the update was probably done by the house cleaning lady. you know.. after so long time to see an update pop up.. i was like "no way.. they update the game?!".. pretty dissapointing.. but like you said orions 3 is due next year so every bug thats in orions2 will be fixed there.. oh wait..
