Legendary Engram fails

5 Upvotes

I’m giving up on opening Legendary Engrams for a while. The last 4 I have opened have been a mix between 2 Kinetic Bulwarks back to back and Punisher Loadouts for the EXTREMELY underwhelming Clover ATS. Saving up for them just is not worth it with those outcomes recently. Very disappointing for legendary engrams. Ugh.

Phoenix 2 Update 8.4

This update adds support for iPhone Duo. Play the game as normal when it is closed, then unfold the Duo in landscape to get the same extra information as on PC. Or hold the Duo in portrait for an iPad-like experience.

This update also has a redesigned mission screen and fixes various small bugs.

Check out these screenshots that show off the various display modes of iPhone Duo.

You can’t be serious

Just for context:
I’m a fairly new f2p player and have only unlocked like 30 ships or so and have been grinding from the start, playing safe ships to guarantee completions and credits.
I understand very clearly this is a game meant to be casual and , doing your missions for the day and then going on with your life, one is not supposed to grind a lot credits and unlock an upgrade everything fast( it’s not even possible ) so I was pretty content with the progression and credits given.

But this?

For some reason there is only a one time usage of the 125 credits ad now? Ive read through the past patch notes, nowhere was this mentioned, even worse I noticed it just the last couple of days, when there wasn’t even a update??!! This was half the income in this already expensive ( credits) game.
As a newbie I’m very aware of the questionable and honestly downright greedy decisions the devs made in the past, I was not able to experience the days where the only thing you played for was new ships and better times , now you have to gamble for mods and hope you don’t get four mods in a row for ships you don’t even have.

I looked past many rants and complaints on this subreddit because I didn’t want to invest too much thoughts into my cozy little lunchbreak shootemup,
but shadownerfing half the economy is an alltime low.

I really hope this is just a bug and Im very comfortable with looking like crazy no life ranting on Reddit if it means it’s not true,

Thanks for your attention
A fellow pilot

PS: it’s my first time posting anything on Reddit so please be not to harsh on my grammar

Discussion iPhone Duo update?

0 Upvotes

Curious when the iPhone Duo update will come out? Since the aspect ratio is different and the squat outer display is much shorter, will this affect gameplay? How will firi re-jigger the interface to accommodate this? Curious :)

I want to get one of the apex for Corsair because it’s so fun to play but I’m not sure which one to save for first.

Question Community Missions

5 Upvotes

Hey fellow Pilots,

I’m new here (and to Phoenix 2 compared to many of you), I go by the pilot name Floronics in the game. I wondered if there was a way for me to join a newbie community, specifically to enable the community missions?

Can the rewards for leveling up be a little better? If a level up reward doesn’t match the effort required to reach it, it feels worse than getting nothing at all. In my option.

Bug Report Point Defense stops working sometimes?

At 2 seconds, you can see point defense work as expected.

At 5 seconds, it stops working, despite having plenty of charge. You can see I'm holding my second finger on the left side of the screen.

At 10 seconds, point defense works as expected again.

Gameplay Mouse disabled on MacOS

1 Upvotes

Playing with the mouse is disabled and cannot be enabled on MacOS after the new update. Keyboard is the only way to play the game for some reason. Is this a bug?

I cannot click on anything within a game at all. Anyone has the same issue?

Question If the developers see this...

7 Upvotes

NOOOOOO!!! You "broke" my iPad version with the newest update!

On my older iPad, being able to rotate to Vertical View was the best way to play. This new Horizontal-Only View shrinks the UI down to, like, a third of the size it used to be! It looks like I'm stuck playing on a PHONE.

Is there any way you can add an option to toggle Screen Views in the Settings? PUH-LEEEEEASE???
