Why the new update ruined swordbattle for me

The new update overall was great for the game lots of new features and new biomes but there was one large thing that genuinely makes the game UNPLAYABLE for me and players like me

The problem: new mobile ui and hud buttons for attack instead of simply clicking on the screen where you wanted to hit they have added a separate joystick for your sword and body orientation this change makes it impossible to pull off certain complex moves and also makes it impossible to contest anyone

Please devs @coolguy53 @gautam please fix the game bring back the old player controls so i can fight again

Isn’t that like diep.io? Maybe u js need practice idk

I need examples for what you’re talking about when you say complex stuff personally I’ve been able to kill some pretty good pvpers on mobile

Also something to note, idk if you know this but you don’t need to drag EVERY single time you want to swing your sword, tapping will just swing in the current direction

I prefer the old mobile better but this is still playable

The new mobile system is a lot more intuitive and cleaner to use compared to the old system. You may just be used to the old system. Practice makes perfect.

Yeah I totally agree with this imo

Fair point :+1:

A-bot and Wasd are right. You should go practice the game instead of whining on the forum.

I respect the others oppininions however ypur oppinion is just bandwagon literally you have zero experience on sb mobile so :shushing_face:

Maybe i didn’t articulate myself properly in the original and have figured out what the problem is in the old system looking and swinging was the same thing but now its the same small button so now your controlling two imputs withe the same button leading to what feels very klunky

Im not saying that the new ui is not super clean just that the new way of aiming and movement is significantly worse

Pre update there were some great flicks that you could execute on mobile theat geve you extra range in fights by hitting with the back of your sword

Now this is impossible and only possible for pc players

nope

Care to elaborate?

You can still do that

aiming and movement is a lot better since the joystick is literally the exact same as the old controls but over a small surface area
at this point i think you aren’t using it the way its meant to be used

I actually like the update

mystic just stuggling with the joystick

No just the darn second one

I decided to play with mobile and I can sorta see why. When you drag and hold it doesn’t auto hit which is pretty odd imo

Wasd on mobile :0
