Increase the font size on TB screen or enable zoom in

The new look of the TB is fine, but the font sizes are too small. This is unfortunately a long-standing process, that CG constantly reduces the size of the fonts in several places. You are maybe playing or testing on big monitors, but most of us use mobile phones. There is a huge difference between the two in terms of visibility of dimensions.
So please, increase the font size on TB screen or enable zoom in all area of the game.
Thx!

    I think most people play on a mobile tablet so don't have that issue or a computer emulator.


    I wish that were true, as I like my tablet, (new Samsung in 2019). However, it crashes if I try to play anything where I am fighting, or even if I level up more than 10 mods. No, I am playing on my much smaller phone.

    And my GF thinks that it's just kids playing, lol. I saw the movie in a theater first time 'round.

    I have a Galaxy S9. It's not that big.
  • The old “I don’t have this problem so it must not be a problem” argument. Some text in this game is pretty tiny. I’m considerably younger than OP but still struggle to read if I’m not on my tablet. However, phone is more convenient most of the times and fine for battles so I’m usually on mobile. I have to resort to using built-in magnifier for small text that my 30-going-on-80 year old eyes can’t read.

    I’m not sure exactly what their fix would be. They have to fit paragraphs of text into small 1”x1” boxes all over the screen.

    Good to know.
    And I thought I was the oldest one here.

    I think it just needs a little effort and not too much redesign.
    Step 1: testing the game on smaller devices.
    Step 2: review all the text and set a value so that none of it can go below a certain size.
    Step 3: where an increase in font size is required, check that it does not expand out of the box containing the text, and fix it if necessarry.
  • Sometimes more complex than that. It's often a choice between too small a font or too many scrolls.
