Drill for gas and materials using 7 and not higher. Stock up on fuel, once you start seeing garden planets they refill you oxygen for free when you visit them so I don't usually carry an oxygen stock. Hope for upgrades that improve you engines efficiency and allow you to jump longer distances. Keep at least 5 iron around at all times to repair your probes if you break them. You'll also start running into ships you can swap into which is key when they have more space and better systems

That said I haven't managed to get some of the harder endings cuz it gets annoyingly difficult to restock at a certain point.

Re: Out There, I've had better success drilling at 10 every time, and just repairing the probe, since fuel is such a bitch to keep in stock early in the game when you have no upgrades, yet iron is simple to get. Agreed on just using garden planets for oxygen, although late in the game you need to have some in stock for plot purposes.

Square Enix has a $20, non-cross buy mobile game that won't even start on the newest version of iOS (that's mandatory for all 2014 iOS devices, and iPhone 4S and up if you need to restore), and they don't give a flying gently caress about fixing it, and still have it for sale.

As an update on TWEWY iOS, here's my response from SE support that I received yesterday:

quote:

Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX support,

We apologize that you are having trouble with this app after the update to iOS 8. Our development teams are working to make sure that any problems such as this are fixed, though I cannot say when this would occur as they are working on a vast number of apps currently with the same problem. We thank you for your patience while we investigate the problem and if there is a fix pushed you will notice an update available for the app in the app store.

On the plus side, if it's something affecting every game, fixing it in one place means they can probably fix it everywhere.

Final Fantasy Tactics iOS, released 1 year prior to TWEWY, works just fine in iOS8.

Given the freeze happens on post-launch with the "initializing..." screen, and that TWEWY has that dumb unique "check to see if iOS device camera has flash" flag to gently caress over iPad users, as well as Twitter integration, I'm guessing the iOS8 compatibility hinges on one or both of those features, pretty much unique to that title as far as I know from SE iOS titles.

Still, the answer wasn't nothing. I'm hoping there will be a fix contemporaneous with the expected Christmas sale for the game.

I've been avoiding Squeenix mobile games since that ATB poo poo, but assuming they're not lying about it affecting "a vast number of games", it wouldn't surprise me if it was some stupid phone-home poo poo that got broken.

Hearthstone is getting its first major expansion on the 8th. Blizzard is going to give every player 3 free packs and a free arena play for people that play shortly after release. They have not announced the exact time for when you get the free poo poo but it likely be a few weeks.

It is kinda of a odd expansion. There are very few common and rare cards compared to the classic packs. But most commons and rare cards are very good cards.

I was wondering why that disappeared. I tried to download it to my wife's phone a month or so ago after I bought her a 6 and figured she might find it playable on a larger screen (that was her favorite game back in the day but she hated it on the 4 when I first installed it for her). That sucks. It was a decent port even if it was difficult to control on a small screen.

Really? It's slow on my 1st gen mini, but certainly not unplayable. They've improved the performance pretty dramatically on A5s since they first released it.

Yeah hearthstone used to crash like crazy on my iPad 2 when they released naxxramas. So I quit playing for 2 months.

Now it works pretty ok. Crashes a bunch still but only after a match is over and I complete a quest and level up. And sometimes while I'm deckbuilding. But never durning a match which is the most important time.

It's already up you can't can't search for it yet.


Protip: when a app you want is just released googling " x itunes" in your phone's safari browser usually gets you a link that opens directly to the app in the app store.

Another thing to do is find a different app by the same developer and click the button that links to more apps by them. Usually I can find things in that list before I can search for them.

This is a fantastic game and easily better than most RPGs on the iPhone. The port itself seems pretty decent so far, though they removed battle animations. =/

If you want to make your own party (and class change them!), go explore a big, colorful world filled with personality that lets you do a lot of things in a non-linear order and without any lame, overbearing narrative other than your quest itself, this is the game for you. This was basically the benchmark for console RPGs when it came out in Japan in '88.

There was a recent comment in the boardgame thread (last 2-3 pages) saying that it Talisman: Witcher Edition in the beta, but that the devs had added some stuff it and now there was some depth to it. Still a shitload of dice rolls, though.
