No more touch-screen or key drop?

[pSilyss_Dinn]

So, one of my favorite things about this game was the level of choice it gave you in getting minions on the board.
I don't mean via card combo's or anything, I'm talking about actual control mechanics.
I was able to mouse click on a minion/spell portrait, then click on a legal board space and: "BAMPF!"

Or click & drag: "BAMPF!"

Using the keyboard keys "q, w, e, & r" would highlight a portrait and the same key would then: "BAMPF!"

Just the same with my touchscreen I could drag/drop,
or my personal favorite; "snipe" minions and spells into play. Which for me created this really visceral experience.

But now, despite how I toggle my settings for game control... all three of them (amazing how I now seem to have LESS freedom with MORE choices) my ability to acheive any kind of fluid game play remains, hobbled... to say the least.

What happened to touch-screen control? It was so seemless. Now, when I click on a portrait, if it doesn't immediatly summon whatever above the portrait; then it won't summon at all.

Summon by keyboard seems to have been disabled, regardless of settings. Awesome.
And whatever that "Double-click-to-cast" feature is, seems just to have been put in there for show.
I must have toggled it a dozen times to no effect.
Of all the things TO change, by the way, I don't think I ever read or heard anyone say;

"Yo' what this game needs; what it NEEDS! Is some double click action yo! I'm not clicking NEARLY enough when I play this game....yo'...10th's of a second count yo."

-XD

I do believe it actually was requested at some point.

In terms of touchscreen controls, you should still be able to drag a card onto the battlefield. What appears to have broken, is touch-selecting a card and touch-dropping a card onto the battlefield. Touchscreen controls are unsupported, but I do hope they manage to fix this. Dragging a card onto the battlefield is horrid. :P

It's double tap, the thing was on since the begining od the game, it made it so that you can double tap for example q and it will play thw q card. The addes checkbox was to give the option to disable it so that peoplw dont accidentally play it.
And i dont get what you mean by :"summon by keyboard has been disabled" because it didn't

You've never been able to click a keyboard button corresponding to a minion or spell during battle thus highlighting their portrait, then move the mouse cursor on to the battlefield and in to a legal zone and then clicking that same keyboard button cast that spell or minion?

I always have. And honestly, until it was gone, it's seemed a rudimentary action to me.
*shrugs*
I've also never doubled tapped. This is a foreign concept to me as far as minion masters is concerned and I don't know if it's me but I see no difference in game play between having the option on or off.
I don't actually tap twice on anything in game... so why is it there?

If you read what i said, i said i dont know ehat you mean BECAUSE it did not get removed.

so people ussualy tap for example on q and click to spawn their minion. Some people accidebtallt tap q again without them wanting to actually play the minion. So why is it there? Because not everyone is likw you and they like they can turn that off.

When I say "I've also never doubled tapped" I meant, I've never had the option too. Ever. In any update. And I've had my game awhile.
And now that it's there.
It does nothing.
I still don't tap twice to cast even if it's toggled on. I just click to cast like always.
Just wondering what was going on.
Sorry if I came across as unclear. :-(

Dunno. The option works for me. When ticked, I can press w to select, and then w again to cast. When unselected, I press w to select and pressing w again will not doing anything so I would have to use the mouse to cast.

Who could bother using the keyboard, though. :D
