I didn't see anything about it, but I wish they would change how typing a message works. When my keyboard is open it's so big it covers the chat and I can't see the message I'm typing so I just have to hope I'm typing what I think I am.

Yeah I usually switch to the floating keyboard on Android when playing on Mobile so I can swipe type with one hand. The huge keyboard is a pain and makes me not want to chat on mobile.

A portrait mode would be much more suitable for chatting. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be in the cards for this update.

There are ways to force it, although the results are not always ideal.

They mention in the article a rework for the entire chat area so hopefully it cleans that up for you.

I love this. I don’t tend to play on mobile because the UI is so bad. But I would love to do farm runs and alching on mobile and it actually be pleasant. These changes make a lot of sense. With some more refinement I think this would be really good for the game

As someone who plays more mobile than desktop, i am really excited for this! seems like having the hot key feature customizable will allow for easier bossing and questing on mobile.

I don't play much mobile, and when i do it's usually just chill skilling. This definitely looks like it could make a lot more of the game more accessible on mobile, especially with the hotkeys function

I'm digging the layout changes. The new stones don't do it for me, though. Replacing them with the old ones would be cream, imo.

Not sure how I feel about the logout button positioning, but I'm generally a fan

I get why they would want it to be accessible quickly since logging out is a big part of the wildly, but I feel you

Honestly, big fan! Excited for the changes
