I almost feel as if the Slime species is going to have an Internal Power Struggle soon if im not there to kill them all................
It's a lot more complicated than ya think...Amazon doesnt alter the game itself, neither does it playtest it, 505 does that. All Amazon does is make the Gamecircle achievments, which only takes a few hours.
Well Amazon isnt a tiny company. This "Update" has been "announced" for quite some time, I think they can freakin' release it now, considering theyve done it with other platforms........It's a lot more complicated than ya think...
Well, reading this consumed an entire minute I'm never gonna get back Anyways, I do agree it is a tinge annoying they haven't released it yet. I get that, honestly. But Amazon is a medium-sized company. They just started doing the app and devices thing about 2-3 years ago. They only were a book and e-reader company back then. Terraria is a big game, like you said. And the original game has Google Play content added to it. Amazon doesn't want to have anything to do with Google, so they change it a bit. I've seen differences between the two, and I have some things to list:You know, the longer this goes on the more I'm looking at uninstalling Terraria. It eats up a lot of space on my phone, it simply makes me frustrated by itself and the publisher doesn't seem to give a flying fig about the community. I feel bad for Codeglu as it seems that they (eventually) get on the ball about things and seem interested in the game, but I sincerely hope they find different publishers for their next outing. I've seen delays from Amazon before, but this is just ridiculous. I've seen games screw up launches before, but the sheer tone-deafness of this is just silly.
There is literally no reason for me to play this game. Its like Firaxis with XCOM: Enemy Within (XBox 360 version ESPECIALLY). Its buggy, there's minimal support and no one seems interested in the real bugs that are bothering players. The official forums are awash with complaints and there isn't a PR member in sight. The only difference is that 505 Games hasn't milked anyone for DLC yet.
I want to play this game. I really do. But promised features are borked (Hey Amazon's version has no controller support guys! ... Hello? Does anyone out there even care??), the game has some serious crash problems (So how many people STILL haven't been able to play since January? Hands up please so I can count properly.), there is no community interaction whatsoever (Hey 505 Games, I get that you do a couple of games and want to publicize them too, but why is the official forum for a game so woefully unattended?) and I still don't get why swapping weapons via quick slot requires you to stand still to change equipement-- for a game that relies on switching between so many different things quickly, very little of it is smooth-- how many times have you been fighting with your sword and suddenly found yourself forcefully grappled to the floor? Or having to stand still during a boss fight to use a potion?). Any other game would be catching a boatload of flak for these flaws so late in the game, and I honestly don't see why I shouldn't be angry about it.
Its sad when an update is eventually coming (at some point, maybe? Hey, still no controller support on Amazon and no one has even mentioned it from these guys) and I can't find the least reason to *not* uninstall it aside from having a reason to visit this part of the forums.
[Sorry for the rant guys, but this is seriously starting to bother me.]

I've seen differences between the two, and I have some things to list:
1. The leaderboads and achievements butttons are in different places.
2. No controller compatibility (like you said).
3. Different cloud save ways.
Anyways, no one hate any company that supports, develops, or sells the game. Like the king of Terraria once said, "Remember, hate only leads to bad stuff" (Yrimir, Terraria 1.3 - June Release and Super Moon)
Spoken like I true TerrarianWanted to address a few things.
First, the approval processes used by the various hardware manufacturers are wholly out of anyone's control. Once an update is submitted, it is all beholden to those myriad of processes and standards. That's just a fact of doing business in the console and mobile space. Large company vs small makes no difference there. This just isn't something that will change I'm afraid.
That's aside - and more importantly - are the persistent issues and the feeling from you guys that you are being ignored and left to stew. I can assure you that your concerns (both technical and personal) have been noted - along with a list of other items - and a cross-collaborative effort to address this is in the planning stages/under discussion.
Hopefully, further details will be hammered out and able to be shared over the next few weeks.
So, maybe hold off on losing all hope and/or uninstalling just yet. I imagine it will be a process no matter what - but I can 100% insure you that the concerns & issues are not being ignored. I know this because I have consistently read your concerns - and been a part of those discussions.
So, I hope that at least gives you some ray of hope there. Won't make excuses for the past - will only point to a strong push for a better future. More - hopefully - to come soon.
Thanks for your patience and support - and your honest feedback.
Cheers!
Wait, so the only reason its not released on Amazon yet is because Amazon is a big, flopping ****?Wanted to address a few things.
