Once again someone who has no clue how bad the lag is.

I havenā€™t noticed any problems with Trials.

Off topic, and Patch really doesnā€™t have much, if anything, to do with how Baymax and Chip & Dale (and a few others) are able to blow away many teams within 2 seconds. Thatā€™s more due to power creep, which has its own current topic.

Some (including me) are using phone with 2 RAM, With these 2 RAMs make the game crashes continuously. And the Pink Dot is the cause.


In enchantment, chapter also šŸ¤·šŸ»

I personally find them useful when me or my friend buy any type of pack from the game I get to see what badges or bits u can use on any heroā€™s that I want or need to upgrade so itā€™s really helpful for me and I think also other that with the pink dots we can see if itā€™s worth trying and trying a gain and again to beat a trial for a certain badge if we donā€™t have enough diamonds to buy more energy

If Iā€™m being honest the pink dots arenā€™t causing lag and also the pink dots are useful so you can know who needs what badge

PerBlue, who literally coded the game, are saying that the pink dots are causing the lag.

I wish I could sort by pink dot in the Heroes screen so I easily see who needs attention.

It is off topic though, your comment provided no constructive feedback on the topic in hand and was just a big long paragraph about something totally unrelated :man_shrugging:

If these dot calculations are contributing to lag, itā€™s client-side - so if youā€™re lucky enough to have a very powerful device, perhaps itā€™s not so bad, but from past feedback and experience itā€™s clearly a major issue for a lot of people.

If those people have such a poor experience that they canā€™t or wonā€™t purchase IAP, itā€™s a major issue for PB too :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes! This! So much this!ā€™

I think the Pink Dot could be a toggle in the setting, as that way you can decide if you want to see the Pink Dots or not.

Personally I donā€™t really use the Pink Dots as I grind by inventory and not by Badge, as in that I grind based on what I see I am low on in my inventory:

In this case I see that I should grind Escape Plan, Lightspeed or the Unbirthday badge as those are the ones I have under a 1000 badge bits of.

I think this make it so that I donā€™t get the extra Pink Dots on the Trial Badges as I already have enough of them for the system to ignore them Pink Dot wise.

I will say, with my newer iPad I donā€™t feel that many lag problems, but with my older iPad I definitely the lag a lot more, so I think device age plays a part in how much lag you individually experience in the game.

So yeah, if Pink Dots arenā€™t fully removed I believe at least it is good to have them as a toggle :-).
That said, if still causing a decent amount of lag even if toggled off, it might be better to remove them in that case.

The only time I use the pink dots is in the merchant shop. I only buy the ones with pink dots. I donā€™t go in to see which heroes I can use it for. If I need it at the time I buy it. It doesnā€™t matter which hero needs it. Almost forgot, I use it in the enhancements screen too. It helps when I have to go through all the yellow heroes. I can flip through them quickly and only stop on the ones with dots. But, Iā€™ve only had lag problems in the invasions. Which I think is probably a bug issue, not lag.

And Samm and others in this topic have made it clear that lag is a significant concern for many players. There is a topic here about powercreep, and Iā€™d love for it to get more attention because I think the explosive increase in stats for many new or refreshed heroes lately is a serious concern.

For me the only place I get lag sometimes is when Iā€™m doing prizewall.

FYI @Samm an attempted fix to laggy dots in update 4.2.10 actually broke them even worse, such that presumably the dot calculations werenā€™t running at all, and until it was reverted the game has literally never run so fast in itā€™s entire life

If that was a preview of how quick it could be with the dots removed, then they really have to go ASAP, it was fantastic :rocket:

Is there anyway you can put an enable and disable buttons in our settings. That way we can choose to have it on or off.

Hey, if itā€™s the pink ā€œ!ā€ dots that have been making the game seize up like it has been, then kick them to the curb! Anything to restore the gameā€™s playability.

Gee, I thought it was just my old IPhone X that had a lag. Guess itā€™s game wide. Think pink dots help me know which badges or bits I need to get instead of clicking each one to see.

Maybe there is some other way to let us know which ones we need without a pink dot, IDK. But I like all the heroes. I would be happy if the prize wall was only once per month instead of every couple of weeks.

Keep up what you are doing Disney. You make a lot of people proud and love your game.

Would prefer if you moved the buttons In the city watch at the top right away from each other. Either you didnā€™t consider guys with fat fingers orā€¦well, thatā€™s the only reason I can think of.
