1.28 sadness

Also, normally it doesn't take this long. We've had once 2 weeks, but never as long as this.

You don't even state what you want with plain words:

Delay the rest of the versions until Apple decides to approve each and every version, and delay it for whatever reason, as they tend to do.

You made the choice to use Apple and their walled garden. Now you can see the consecuencies of doing so. I hope you are not expecting to delay the rest of the world because your platform of choise sucks! Be happy with your walled garden, delay in new versions is one of the direct consequences of requiring approval for each and every upgrade.

BTW, there are limits to what the in-app update can do. Apple is well knows for refusing to publish anything that can sidestep the requirement that they check each and every specific version. Enjoy your iOS platform! Now leave the rest alone already.

I already replied to you on post 37. Please dont double post, its annoying.

And another thing, some app developer on the other thread said it only takes 5 days to get everything approved if your doing everything right, which makes sense as I have had an update to an app, then a few days later anouther update due to some problem. So whats up with the 3 weeks?

[ForceOfWill]

Well, I find your whining annoying and I didn't say anything, did I?
You fail to acknowledge that you want to delay the rest because you cannot get it at the same time because of your own choice, and trying to claim some imagined privilege by damaging the rest of the players.
Whatever.

WTF ? Go learn english, even me understand what Pete said in his OP, and in the post 37 !!?

Quit pretending to know what someone is asking for, when they obviously ask for something else.

Wulven sent the app but it's apple who doesn't approved it, I think this is all absurd. The problem is apple, send them hundreds off emails or do whatever you want. Wulven aren't the culprits.

If you don't like how apple works, don't support their products.

Following a "Go learn english" with an "Even me understand" its quite funny. I'm not native english spoken, what about you?
lol
Isn't that what you are asking for? To delay the rest of the versions? It was plain easy to understand that in your posts. Perhaps you want to magically have the iOS version without Apple approval...guess what, you can't have that. You gotta wait. The rest of the world doesn't.

Calm down, son. If you get in too many people's faces you could get a temp ban.

The fact of the matter is...

50% iOS

50% Android,Browser/Facebook,PC Client..


iOS is the biggest player base of the game. It's easier to do a simultaneous release. It wouldn't even feel like waiting to the other platforms. It wouldn't be announce until after it was approved. (the smart thing to do) This would be a win situation as no one would feel screwed.

I have mixed views on the matter.
I primarily play this game on my iPod, and I understand Pete's frustration that the updates take forever to be approved. However, I don't think a simultaneous release is the answer to this problem. While a simultaneous release relieves tension, it is a superficial solution.
If they had used the simultaneous release alternative for 1.28, we would ALL be stuck with 1.27. Of course we wouldn't be thinking that we're stuck with 1.27 because we would not have been told that 1.28 has been developed, but that doesn't change the fact that none of us would be able to enjoy 1.28 (including non iOS users).
There's really no reason not to let non-iOS users enjoy their update as soon as possible, because delaying their update doesn't do anything for us iPod/iPad users. We can still play 1.27, and there is a large enough member base that getting into matches isn't really a problem.

I think us Apple products users should just have a more positive mentality, because even though it seems unfair, Wulven is trying their best and not harming us in anyway. Supporting every other platform doesn't play a negative impact on us, except perhaps psychologically.
I think the thing Wulven should do is take more time with each update. Instead of releasing an update every month or two (I'm only guessing here, I have no idea how often they release updates since I joined during 1.27), release a huge update every 2-3 months. This way, iOS users can actually enjoy each update for the most part. Right now, I'm not even sure if we'll be able to enjoy 1.28 for a few weeks before 1.29 comes out. Furthermore, by releasing bigger, less frequent updates, we'll be on the same version as other platforms for a larger percentage of the time!

Just my two cents!
