Have you actually been on the App Store and seen the dross that resides there? Cool isn't the word I'd use.

Yes, the luddites can use their web browsers to surf over to cohtitan/Paragon Wiki but an app would be faster (assuming it's halfway decently made). But CoH isn't conducive to that kind of functionality (i.e. there's no point).
I think you need to look up the term "luddite"*


Agree with you though, our Devs have shown very little in the way of ability in terms of developing supporting web services for the game, which is probably to do with the engine limitations.

I'd love some mobile friendly versions of the community websites though, SuckerPunch works in my browser just fine on an Android phone but it's obviously not designed for it.

I'd also love the devs to provide raw streaming data from the game (say a series of XML feeds of market activity) and let third parties use those streams to develop sites and feeds (and Apps if you like) from.


I mean they don't even seem to stream the site news as an RSS feed, which is a bit useless.

Sorry... text doesn't convey the sarcasm properly. I was in no way serious. I have a deep loathing for 'i' products and am waiting for an app that will make people shut up about their apps.

SuckerPunch's planner is a beast. He's the only one that can figure out how to get it working, but keeps disappearing from the game :/

The things I would like to see in a CoH app would be as follows:

1) I want a streamlined App that would allow me to read and post to these forums that is not Browser related. I hate the load times for all the graphics and other useless stuff that bogs my phone down when all I want to do is read a few posts and possibly post something while on the go.

2) I would love to see a costume creator program that allowed me to build a costume using the items that are currently tied to my account. I also want the ability to save the costume and synch it with the game for one of my existing characters or for a new one I am making.

3) I would love to have a Wentworths app that allowed me to view items that I have up for sale and anything that I have won. It would also be cool if it also allowed me to post items from specific characters for sale and to place bids.

4) A mobile version of the web site.

I am sure that if I spent some more time thinking about it I could come up with some additional ideas, but for the time being I would settle for the above.

That isn't something for an app. they need to make a stripped down mobile skin (preferably accessed through a different URL so you don't have to switch to it back and forth when you view from a PC then a phone and back.)
