Title: Smart Phone Roster App
Post by: nrshida on May 10, 2016, 11:39:22 AM: I know this has been asked for before but it would be really great to have an App showing who was online playing. I'm sure this would stimulate numbers to see your friends online and especially a particular varmint that needs shooting :devil

Updates VERY similar to BBS but on mobile platform. I think it could be a great tool for the community, (i'm thinking scenario guys and special events guys decceminated information and/or updated orders, maps, etc.

Just to see arena numbers?

+1 for a squad roster / friends list app + push notifications for events and reminders

Post by: bustr on June 08, 2016, 02:54:33 AM: Is this for only subscribers or, some how you want the real-time arena info ported for anyone? At least this iteration of the wish isn't requesting an external porting of live channel text with the ability to text interact in real-time from outside of the game.

Maybe some day Hitech can rig AI to port real-time streams of the fronts as action takes place to an active stream viewer at the WEB Site front page and even FaceBook to act as Marketing to get people into the game. But, maybe after AH3 goes live so people don't think this game is called Land of the Crickets. AH3 looks better on film anyway.
