It would be nice if I can see the charge of my phone battery when I’m playing the game. I know, it’s not an MMORPG, but it’s a mobile game tho, and 25 min for a match consumes energy and I’d like to check it without exiting the game.
All these little things that other mobile MOBAs have…
Stuff that long-time VG players probably don’t care about, but a player coming from another mMOBA will miss sorely.
Hard to swipe from the top of your screen to show the status bar and see the battery % ? This is for android, but I am sure that there is something similar for ios.
There is a swipe down for iOS as well, although it covers your entire screen kinda like a window blind.
Also, I heard that phone-based features like clocks, gps, battery life, etc actually drain your battery life when you display them because it constantly has to keep them updated. I’m not 100% sure though
GPS, Bluetooth, NPC, Yes… but battery life, clock, No. Because it is already being constantly monitored, regardless.
4g and wifi also drain battery faster, but most people rely heavily on internet and don’t turn such essential features off.
But the biggest drain on battery life is overwhelmingly DISPLAY… size of display, brightness and duration it is on.
LCD screens are kinda special in a way that it drains the same small amount of battery no matter what setting you use. Samsung AMOLED is completely different, it drains according to how much colour, brightness, contrast, etc. is displayed.
Yes it is being updated by the iPhone itself, but the app has to run a side program to keep the display in the app up to date. I understand that many apps do detect the time, but displaying it constantly in an app is different than on the home screen. Or at least that’s what I was vaguely told a long time ago.
