EA, any chance of letting us zoom right out and while you're at it how about letting us select the bit we press when moving things, and I mean first time, not after half a dozen attempts.

How hard can it be? Really?
Everyone else manages it.

Maybe my wits are really dull from getting 3 hours of sleep in the last two days but... what in the world are you going on about? Im beyond lost with this?

I am paraphrasing but what I think he means is he wants them to increase the accuracy of what oyu are tapping so you actually tap the item you are trying to tap and not something else. And he also wants a way of zooming out so that we can see our whole town instead of just a small section of it at most requiring us to stitch together images of the town just so we can see what's going on...


Or maybe he's talking about something else, but I like to think that he is suggesting something that hasn't been brought up in a while...

Exactly. Thankyou. Fairly obvious.

Well, your comprehension of the English language is far below par...

Sure.

Your original post is a run-on sentence. It also starts as a question but doesn't end as one.

And, Your wording within the sentence could have been chosen better as well. If someone was using a translator to read the page, it might not translate well.

Plus you are talking to a company name like it's a person on the forum.

You could have said, to US, not to EA, "I'd like EA to increase the level that we are able to zoom out. I'd also like improved accuracy for the item selection tool, so that what we tap is highlighted for movement on the first touch, rather than cycling through a dozen nearby items that I'm not actually touching. "

And you could have also just replied to the multiple existing threads expressing this exact same opinion, rather than making a new one with such a vague thread title.


Fairly obvious.

Thanks for that, although I was asking for an explanation of the mic-ro-wave comment, as you're so clever.

My comprehension of the English language is actually very good.
Your mistake was to confuse comprehension with demonstration.
I choose not to demonstrate my comprehension of the English language on this forum, although I would never degrade my written language to the level of text speak, for this would truely inhibit the comprehension of what I was trying to say, especially when you consider the international diversity of the members on this board.
However the main reason I will occasionally let my written standards slip, is to allow grammar Nazis, like yourself, to get their knickers in a twist. :D

1. Nazis killed thousands of innocent people. Please do not affiliate me with them.

2. I didn't criticize your post, someone else did. Please do not push your apparent combative attitude on anyone who replies to you. You asked a question, don't get bent out of shape when you get a direct answer.

3. Excessive wordiness doesn't make your comprehension appear more adept. In fact, fewer, better selected words does.

4. You replied to Wij, not Lyle. It was fairly obvious what you were doing.

5. Whatever, dude. It's a game forum, not an editorial rant page. Lighten up.

1. Ok. Grammer pedant then, or if you prefer, Troll.

2. If you weren't criticisung my post then why comment at all?
Your post contained nothing pertinent to my original post, so if you have nothing constructive to contribute then don't bother replying at all.

3. If you're going to criticise me publicly you had better believe I will stand up for myself, call it combative if you like.
I have experienced bullying and seen others bullied, and face to face, not from the safety of a keyboard. I will respond to people like you.

4. If it's just a game forum and not an editorial rant page, then listen to your own advice, and don't call me dude.
