Add portrait mode to the game

[fleet parcel]

This will allow people to play RoK at work, in subways, in school.. without getting much attention as holding phone horizontally makes introverts uncomfortable.

@rose aspen @simple lynx explain why not

[hardy fiber]

only reason i can imagine is embarrassment when in public and not wanting to get caught while at work. The majority of privacy screens dont work horizontally, only vertically

Miss click

holding phone horizontally makes introverts uncomfortable.
It's character-forming

i don’t get what you mean im not american

[rose aspen]

In my understanding, it is not worth paying attention to at the moment, and is not suitable for this game 100%

[plush gazelle]

you are living for yourself not others so enjoy the life

[fleet parcel]

what does that have to do with the suggestion

[hasty tangle]

The game has portrait mode for chats, that's all that matters

"holding phone horizontally makes introverts uncomfortable" you can just say you prefer portrait mode over landscape without lying about it

what

If you’re embarrassed to be seen playing a mobile game, just don’t play. Or, get over it.

I'm liking this post should be on settings urgently, some peope be sniffing on what you are doing on your phone, he is right guys, privacy is good

but why you don't like my privacy of walls and watchtowers that i have suggested in alliance buildings ?

So you like watch other people doing their alliance business and you don't like people knowing what you are doing 🤔🤔🤔🤔 hmm interesting very nice commun sence there that you have

[fleet parcel]

i don’t want more mechanics in the game

😂

[magic oxide]

No body asked you to use them

[fleet parcel]

but others will use them and i wont like it

[magic oxide]

wt .. hell

[magic oxide]

you allow this on you, but not the others ?

something is really really wrong in here

[fleet parcel]

what I suggested is visual

what you suggest is adding some extra buildings to the game

[magic oxide]

it is visual when you are holding your phone upside down 🤔

[upbeat bramble]

Regardless of reasons, we need portrait mode all other games came after rok following same module but in portrait mode and this is amazing, helpful in many aspects.

i dont understand why are people downvoting

[plush gazelle]

Because it's dumb

• The opportunity cost is too high. It's a lot of dev time to do a change like this which would be better spent on other more important issues.
• "Making introverts uncomfortable" is a weak rationale
• No benefit at all for tablet and PC players
• Unclear how practical it would be to play in portrait mode on a small screen
• People can just hold their phones horizontally.

Yes. It looks like it would be wildly impractical to play in portrait mode, as one of my points noted above.

I have not suggested it will kill me. You can see what I have suggested by reading my post above.

There is not "a way to make it portrait". The difference between mocking something in Photoshop and actually coding something with interactivity is significant. It would entail adding an entirely new code path for every part of the interface and every UI element.

Please save your rhetorical posturing for someone who finds it impressive. People are participating in this discussion in good faith. You asked why people are downvoting. I gave you a list. HTH.
