#Mobile needs more buttons!

I have recently returned to RS3 on mobile, and its quite a mission get to the vital buttons for some bosses, especially since you cant go full revo++ these days, you need the adren!

My suggestion would be to add just a little row of buttons that you can opt into with a 2nd additional revo bar.

If you're worried about the size of the buttons, make them adjustable in size for different phones. If you're still worried about size constraints, you can also make it so its half the bar displays. Same as the default additional bar where you can flick or rotate half the bar with the circle button.

This would be a HUGE qol for us mobile players. 🙏

(Please don't leave us behind the PC players. They already look at us mobile players like we need to park in the disabled section)

Personally I’ve been playing a year on mobile only and I’ve made it work. I have Reaper Crew. I had to do a lot of preparing, as far as making bars for specific bosses, both revolution bars AND input bars, and relying on a few in-menu commands that are grouped close together. it is doable. Very few bosses- and ESPECIALLY with necromancy - require 30 abilities.

however though; absolutely no other additional input is required.

Its actually one of the most afked bosses that provide end game content.

# wooden reef can you actually name a boss that isn't possible to Revo++ please? I can say wit...

Ofcourse, think of bosses you need the adren for certain checkpoints to do a defensive or high dps in a short window or "build".

Nex, Masuta (ed1), Rax (you can auto fire a threshold an die on revo++ very easy), Zuk, Arch Glacor with his noob cannon, Telos, Solak (big dps checks), Zammy with P7, vorkath.

(I dont have a lot of experience with the newest Egyptian style bosses)

I dont do full manual, i do semi. Some bosses 100% can be done with full revo++, but its damn difficult to consitently hit those adren requirements if your thresholds and stacks auto fire at the wrong times.

Alright so I can clarify;

You are absolutely correct these are not full afk Revo++
but all of these have listed mechanics that need 1-3 inputs at maximum per boss.
Is this efficient? absolutely not; but its definitely achievable.

The issue your going to run into with achieving this on Mobile is the fact some screens simply just aren't large enough to support the suggestion.
And the providers (Google Play/Apple) often reject per device modifications to the App.

Realistically; Is it possible to achieve every kill on Mobile? yes.
Its just simply inefficient, and you'll never truly be able to compete against PC in this regard seeing as we have a total of 55 keybinds readily available to us; additional to that manual clicks for various other things on top of that; which simply isn't possible to fit on any mobile device.

I am not opposed to something like this occuring; but I am just stating due to how policies work within Google Play and Apple; this is extremely unlikely to occur.

So, here's the thing.

I set up my necromancy revo with my additional bar with all my abilities for thresholds and ultimates, threads of fate, the scythe thing and so on. It fills up basically most of the bar for manual inputs. I believe the movement abilities surge/escape/dive is very important, so they go on the bar too. And of course, the wars retreat button, because panic happens.

And its also important for muscle memory and user enjoyment, its so nice to know in your head where a button is, no matter what boss you fight. It feels good. To make a unique loadouts for each boss isn't very enjoyable and frankly, very frustrating.

Even half a bar on display somewhere would be huge for me. To add a couple of loose ends. Or a quick swap button between 2 bars.

So are you saying that, google/apple don't allow you to update your UI? Because i couldn't find any reasons why they couldn't change their app UI after going live? Can you provide a link or something to this? It's my understanding that they cant have inconsistent UI per device. But that's different than user customization.

It's super inefficient! And that's why I'm asking for just a handful more options. Not all 5 additional bars that PC has.

Of course screen sizes differ, my laptop is a standard 15 inch screen, i adapt to RS3 with my limited real-estate, i have seen those 4k boys with their massively fancy sleek UI loadouts. This is no different. Some would use it, some wont. And i think people would be okay with that.

And yes, of course its doable, very much so. But is it fun? Not really. You cant even remove an ability from the bar in the powers screen once you've placed it. The only way i have found is to go out the settings window, unlock the bar, make it my active additional bar and drag them off...

This is not what I am saying; I am saying having customizations limited to specific mobile devices is often rejected (not always though)
Mobile Updates are often heavily impacted by policies within Google Play and Apple to ensure it can pass its review check.

This is an issue; either they have to choose to not support smaller screens or size everything to fit the smallest available one.

This i wasn't aware of, and absolutely should be addressed.
