Where is my Android Phone release?! ;)
Looks like I wait for android release.
I'm gunna buy an ipad even though I hate apple products, just to be able to play mobile :P
Yeah right, imagine playing this on that small ass screen. Imagine the outrage of people trying to select cards or misplay cards.
So I played on my iPad 2 last night. I closed all the other apps and it ran wonderfully. I didn't have any problems in game. The transition between screens in the menu was slower than on PC, but otherwise ran smoothly. Also played mage and didn't have any trouble with fireblast hero power that many people were complaining about (being extra sensitive to the possibility of a bug might have helped). Over all I am going to say that the iPad version is really solid. I will probably play a lot more now with the iPad cough...work...cough.
They said all 5 wings will be available within a months time so probably during the reset of next season to have all available by the end of May since they did say the summer which is May 31.
WE WANT NAXX... Is what everyone is thinking after reading this post i'm sure.
so hopefully Curse of Naxxramas within the next few weeks?
maybe with the next season (may), would be nice
True but so is iPhone, which they have to redesign the UI for. The other issue is that android tablets aren't taken very seriously, the only one that started to succeed (kindle) got gutted from big retailers. So we're likely only going to get a phone-optimized android version that you can also run on your tablets, which will not be as pretty/resource hogging as the current ipad client.
WTB Android release =D
Come on people logically Curse of Naxxramas will be released the start of the next season, aka May 1st
I Hope So.
Yeah I also am thinking of the "Curse of Naxxramas will be coming out on "the heels of the iPad release"." from the previous thread while reading this one.
However, Heels tm is probably the same as soon tm.
Heels™ is one day sooner then Soon™.
But one less day than Never™.
When I read this, all I thought was "Curse of Naxxramas will be coming out on "the heels of the iPad release".
It better mean soon then!
