Has anyone else found the new pinch zoom to be game-breakingly sensitive? I just installed the update and i have to say i preferred the slider because now i can only see the game from a fully zoomed in or zoomed out view which is a pain my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Y unfortunately i dont have screen capture anyone else have this problem?

vandal - we could put the slide bar back, but we'd much rather fix it for your device so that it works better. All of our games are getting pinch zoom, so we need to enhance the system any way we can. We support 4329 Android devices, so its understandable that we can only test about 30 of them by hand. Can you post your Android OS version as well so we can understand your device? Is the HUD "jumping around" or are you having normal game play but pinch zoom is far too sensitive?

Unfortunately, the play screen has gotten smaller thanks to the slider not being there... check this screen... Oh, and although I am pinching VERY carefully, it only shows the screen at max zoom level.. or at none... Maybe just add the option to get the slider back, resulting in the old hud, disabling the hud,make the stuff selectable from the menu button on the phone or the like...

cross-posting effectively, but...
phone: HTC ReZound
Carrier: Verizon
Android version: 4.0.3
I have to throw my hat in the ring for 'too sensitive'.
1) The 'zoom in/out' continues after you stop moving your fingers. Meaning that if you move your fingers even a millimeter apart or together and leave them on the screen, it goes ALL the way in/out. Not just to the level you want to stop at.
2) The zoom is too sensitive/fast.
Mix the two 'issues' together and it's very much a hit-or-miss to get the level of zoom I want. It's generally going to be either all the way in, or all the way out. In-between is hard.

Just tested on kindle fire hd 8.9 inches. I can pinch zoom, but it's hard to get middle ground as I could only move my fingers by about a centimeter before reaching the min-max of zoom ranges (meaning closest and farthest zoom).

Highly sensitive, it even alters zoom when I am trying to move occasionally(using 1 finger!)

Thanks for the all the extra details and especially the screenshot! We will start working on the second revision of pinch zoom and get it better for all. It works wonderfully on the devices we tested on, so we just have to get that same result across the board.

just tested on the Galaxy S4 and although the game area resolution is great, the pinch/zoom is definitely on the sensitive side, where approx 1cm of pinch will cover the full range of zoom. Can you reduce the speed of the zoom so it takes maybe 5cm worth of pinch/zoom to do the full zoom range ... or even takes a pinch for every 2 levels of zoom meaning multiple pinches to get from widest zoom to narrowest zoom.

Yup!
Sorry.
Pinch zoom is too sensitive on HTC Wildfire S as Well.
To be honest, I think pinch zoom in general is an awful, inaccurate control method anyway. Yuk!
On my phone, as stated on another post, the "centre on character" icon, and, faction/area name info, are squashed into the bottom right corner.
