If anyone is on the fence on trying this game, the price has dropped from $6.99 to .99 cents. I should of waited for this deal but oh well. This game runs well on the Nexus 7, yes it a copy of WOW but it works.
Edit: If anyone needs help playing this game let me know, I'll gladly get your guys/gals started.

Game is very pretty. Controls take some getting used to. I keep walking into walls...
No Tutorial; just some easy beginner Quests.
Only thing that really frosts me about Order and Chaos is that they dropped the subscription charge for IOS users - but not Android.
Android users are paying for the IOS Servers with our subscriptions.
Only $.99 a month (after November), but shees...

I don't think that is correct about ios. I bought it a while back for ios and it says install on iTunes but it says it's only for 3 months.
Edit: I logged into my iOS account and it is still expired
Found this thread when I was trying to decide whether or not to buy Order & Chaos.

From what I can gather, it's definitely a great value at 99 cents but the end game is largely cash driven.
So play for fun, but don't take it seriously (grinding) unless you're well aware of the financial commitment that those hours will lead to.

Now I feel bad for spending 6.99 of my credit for this game. Grrrr, we should make xda Guild or something.
great game I got it for 99 cents way back. wirh free 3 months. and yes runs good other then some ghosting when servers are busy.

I bought this back during the winter .99cent sale. Great game. I have one character at level ~40 and another at like ~20.
It never played on my Transformer right without hacks and tweaks and I got tired of playing on my Galaxy Nexus. My subscription is expired probably and I probably won't renew. Was a fun run though. I played through a few dungeons with some high level guys healing me constantly. Had my fill for .99
I did buy a 6month subscription. I may have time left. Maybe ill try and pick it back up.

Hey man I registered xda just to say I got owned by this, just bought it 3 days ago. With my 25 dollas from Google. I call this game WoW 2 and its worthy of that, my wife leans over and says "you spent 200 bucks to play wow in bed"..."yep".
My user is Krazypickle...add me if you want a buddy.
Im gonna give a short review just because.
Controls I give a 7 and that is partially my tablet touch newbness, they seems to lag a bit or stop working altogether half the time, im also getting some choppyness...not sure if its network or graphic. This game may not be totally optimized from what I can tell. Im gonna connect my ps3 controller....might help?
Graphics = to WoW (slightly off, but pretty much and I feel this is a compliment)
New features is sweet, I feel the rogue is unique....timed stealth, stealth during combat, bonus while stealth, multiple proc possibilities, enertaining for sure. Cant wait to try other classes.
Its super weak, you buy the game then pay a subscription I think? Annnnnnnnd they make it possible to buy gold.....pretty weak in my opinion. Im gonna play without buying gold...makes it more fun anyhow. Just like Rage of Bahaumut, havent spent a dime....getting my ass kicked lol.
Im waiting for my nexus to charge lol

Lol awesome, what server are you on?
Order n Chaos
is anyone familiar with this game, i change roms and now when i try to load the game it loads to the checking license screen then a message appears then asks me to force close it cause it was wasnt responding, anyone know what i can do ? i have purchased the game from the market but its not letting me play an i even tried to contact gameloft but those guys wont help me, all advice is greatly appreciated, theres gota be a work around
You don't have to buy Gold. Gold is just regular in game currency for 1000 silver. I really liked Order and Chaos and went ahead and bought a 6mo subscription (expired now). I grew tired of making it work on my old tablet and gave up on it. My level 40 is a female warrior and I have a lvl20 male archer or whatever. I really like the Archer more. Seems most of the enemies are dead by the time they even walk over to me.
I would focus on your skills. My warrior is a blacksmith and does weapons and armor. It is kind of confusing how you level that up. But how it works is through a weird kind of experience. The more you use your skill the more "skill credits" you have. Then you find your skill master in the big main city. There you can spend your "skill credits" on purchasing various crafts, but don't waste your credits. Instead focus on buying upgraded Master Books (Master II, Master III, Master IV).
Focusing on increasing your skill sets also will pay you very well when you go to sell this stuff. I typically sell the higher grade stuff in the online market for 1-2 gold a piece. You also want to sell stuff like large groups of wool and other stuff that is required for other types of skills because collecting can be a pain. Some people just opt to spend 1-2 gold on a bundle of raw material. Plus you get nothing for selling it at a shop.
There are two people in our household who are at endgame, and neither has had to spend a dime in real world money to advance their character. You *can*, but you don't have to. For example, a lot of people, when they hit 60, spend fifteen bucks on 'rune gear'. It gives them a full set of gear they can effectively run legendaries in. You can get the same gear from lvl60 dungeon runs and from world bosses, though. My son (JackChurchil @ Swamp of Wyrms) is actually buying his rune set for his archer tomorrow.
I've got a lvl42 healer monk hybrid ( Daede @ Swamp of Wyrms ) that already has a full set of world-drop gear sitting in storage waiting for me to hit the levels where I can wear them, including a really nice lvl51 healer tunic, that is actually better than the rune-gear healer robe.. It's all stuff Orion (JackChurchil) picked up on his way to 60 or while doing dailies at 60...
My brother, Ben, has a 60 Warrior tank ( WoopAss @ Swamp of Wyrms ), and has no real intention of buying rune gear. He's got a rare tanking sword, a real nice rare shield, and a decent set of collected-it-along-the-way tank gear, all with no real money investment other than the game itself.
Legendary runs use a system called 'exhaust', and while you can use runes (real money) to replenish your exhaust, it also replenishes automatically on a daily basis. A typical legendary run costs between 9 and 17 exhaust, and you have 100 to spend per day, so unless you literally sit n the game and no-life it *all day*, you most likely won't see a reason to consistently spend money.
You can spend money to craft, but on the server we play on (being very low population) you really don't need to. The bosses that drop the crafting mats you can buy with runes aren't actively farmed, so there's a good chance you can get what you need.

Does anyone happen to have a save file that they can upload? I was on level 10 and then had to restore my device to stock/unroot/relock to return it. I did back the files and system data up using Titanium Backup but, when I restored my apps on my new N7, the save data wasn't there as I had thought it would be. Now I'm really dreading having to catch up to where I was. If you've played the game, you know how frustrating (but extremely entertaining at the same time) it can be to level up and move along in the story. Ten levels is a ton (or seemed to be a ton) in the game. So if anyone is around that point in the game and can upload a save file here, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know where else I could have posted this, so if the devs would like to move it somewhere, I wouldn't mind.
I had the game, I was over lvl 10, Already going for the boss, then a huge enemy kille dme in 3 hits, u bought new health kits and the app crashed so I had to start from the elevator again which is very hard, I don't know if you got to that part and I got so frustratec that i uninstalled the app.
Seems like you have to buy a whole bunch of items to have a decent game play or you will be doing more diying than anything else after you defeat the "white witch"

Apparently there's some cheats that give you a ton of money, so there are options out there. Personally, seeing as the game was free, I'm not going to complain about IAPs. I still find them annoying and would rather pay a set price for the game, but as long as it's free I'm not complaining. But I was just about the face the white witch with enough experience to possibly beat her. And now I might have to start over again. It sucks.

That is true, but the way I see it, you can pay about 7 bucks for a premium membership which gives your a bunch of coins, money, and other stuff that as you go further in the game you will notice you will need.
The game is designed to incited you to spend money on it, I spent like 2 bucks to buy medic kits but the game was just bugging too much in the pause menu and store menu and the further you go the harder the enemies to the point where it is almost impossible for not saying impossible to go from one level to the boss without using a bunch of bombs, or medic kits or very expensive accessories.
The game is good, the story line and graphs but I personally might not play it again unless I can get video out and use a controller which I doubt will even happend.
I've been playing GBA RPGs for a while on this phone and am looking for some good Android-native RPGs. I was looking at the Final Fantasy ones but I am not paying $7-16 for games I already have on my DS. Any suggestions? Free preferable. I already have Battleheart.

LOL I know! Seems like its everyone deems someone that asks a noob or lazy...
I've been looking for this too! Tried Zenonia, its kool but the 3rd and 4th are pay to play, in game unlockable for cash :/ why is it becoming a tendency?
One thing I've been searching is for a good tactical RPG like Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics, the closest thing I've found is Spectral Souls and it's $14.99 Reason I haven't bought it yet, thanks to the new 15min limit rebate, I won't know if it's really that good to keep or if I don't run into problems during the download of the extra 1.5GB of data
A good hack/slash RPG is Caligo Chaser, it's $2.99 but worth it. Good controls and decent continuous story line, played it non stop for days.
Another one is Across Age DX, it's a free trial and unlock once you finish the intro phase. The developers compare it to Zelda, but for me it's more like Wild Arms 1 gameplay. They are very similar, tools and co-op with party members. The story seems good so far and the dialog is well put together too. Haven't unlocked it yet, but I will once I clear out some minor debt...
How's Battleheart working for you? Just saw the vid and it seems really good, somewhat a rip off the old FF jobs though :/ Noticed what seemed like Paladin, monk, white mage, dark mage, etc -___-
Edit - I haven't installed any EMUs yet due to onscreen controls being uncomfortable for me, huge hands... I'm considering getting the PS3 control adapter for the phone and use that. forgot what it was and didn't bookmark the site *facepalm*
Kemco makes several that are pretty cheap ($3~4 last I checked). Eve of Genesis and Symphony of Eternity just to name two of them. Gamevil makes one or two. I have Illusia from them. Also downloaded Inotia3 (which is free) a couple of days ago, but I really haven't touched any of them with the exception of Symphony of Eternity.
Like you I've eyed the Final Fantasy games, but I'm not paying that much. Spectral Souls has been on my list too, but again... Not paying $15 for it.
Problem with the free ones is that they're free to play, but to get anything worth getting you have to pay for it... as you know from Zenonia.

The problem with the 15 min is you can't really judge an RPG in 15 min!!! It takes way longer, especially if they have intros/tutorials.
I haven't played Battleheart in a while but I like it......didn't really have a story though. Maybe I did and missed it.
As far as EMUs I haven't been able to gague my phone's battery life at all because I spend almost an hour a day playing Pokemon LeafGreen lmao. My coworkers think I'm nuts now. I paid the $4.99 for VGBA and I have to say it was worth every dime. Especially since I figured out how to transfer my files to the PC and trade with other EMU saves......after I finish up with Pokemon I'm probably going to play Golden Sun which I never got around to but heard is great.

I'd get the SuperCard DSTWO for the 3DS. It's like $40 depending on where you get it from. There are cheaper ones but from what I know this is the only one that is constantly working as the 3DS firmware upgrades come in.
AND get the PSP lol. The PSP is worth it just for being able to play Final Fantasy 7-9 in my opinion.

Lucky you. I had a PSP a while ago that I had modded but I wound up selling it because I didn't really use it at the time. I wish I had kept it. From looking on EBay/Craigslist I think people are wayyyy overpricing their 3000's.
you don't really need an adapter to use ps3 or wii controllers. They both use Bluetooth and their are neat apps for connecting them, remapping buttons ect....

Recently I saw that apps are now discriminating against root users(not allowing download/play). Do you think if apps would universally start doing this, would it cut down piracy or just push more root users to download illegally?
I for one believe it will have the latter effect, what do you guys think of this?

So what are some example apps that are denying access if your phone is determined to be rooted? I've never run into one, and I can't imagine any popular app would resort to something so easily worked around.
(the workaround: temporarily move/rename the 'su' binary out of the PATH to "hide" it, since that's the method almost all apps would use to detect if you're rooted.)
To install a pirated app is allow unknown sources...anyone can do it, idk why they are discriminating....

I could care less about that kind of stuff if companies want to do that then they don't deserve my business or anybody else's business for that matter. Then just watch how fast the companies change their ways when nobody is buying their products

So ppl can afford $400 - $600 (retail) and $200-ish smartphones, $50 - $100 a month contracts... yet they can't afford a $0.99 app.... please... that's total bs.

Well said... I set up my "online" credit card for Google Play at $100. Its been like over an year now, n I still have cash left in it... And not one pirated app on my phone. Most of the apps are like a $ or two... and they are more like 1 time buying with free updates for life (well, many of them).
All it takes is a $ or 2 for an you love... so what's the big deal when you are paying like $100 something each month to the cell phone service provider.

Think about what you just said.
"...stealing is justified because the person who wants to steal feels that they are unwilling to pay the cost for the item...there are many points of view..."
Yeah...and the entitlement mindset "you have something that I feel that I'm entitled to and I don't care if I do something that's wrong...all that matters is that I get it...."...that's a point of view.
I've never understood people who use this rationale....stealing is stealing no matter how you justify it to make yourself feel better while you are doing it.

What's the threshold for stealing? If it were only $50 then it wouldn't be ok? $25? If you can't afford a new car you couldn't just go steal one and have it be ok. And everyone knows "You wouldn't download a car."
If I don't want to pay what it's offered for then I just do without. People should look into dropping their entitlement complex.
On another note, I don't buy into the whole "It's not available in my locale" argument. Maybe I just don't fully understand it being in the US. I've seen many ways to fool your phone/the market to seeing a new locale (for free), and most apps I've ever bought have a direct buy version anyway.
Doesn't say anywhere that you have to pay for the apps. Me downloading an apk isn't theft. The original copy is still left intact. Pirates raid ships and steal. They don't make copies.

If the app isn't offered for free by the developer and you obtain a copy without paying then you're stealing. If you want a warm fuzzy because you're stealing something that can be copied then go ahead and tell yourself that. You are still taking money out of the dev's pocket through theft.

This argument only stands if you intended to buy the app in the first place and if there weren't so many cases in which piracy increased sales rather than decreased them.
Of course, the opposite is true as well. There are a number of games out there where it was simply more prudent to pirate the game if you wanted to, you know, play it whenever you wanted (Cough, Ubisoft games, cough).
I understand that some people are morally outraged by piracy... but much like so many other things in life, not everyone is. I used to pirate like nobodies business.. but now that I make more money, I typically only pirate the game if I am unsure about it and it doesn't have a demo. If I like it, I go buy it. If not, I get rid of it. I also typically pirate games that have an obscenely restrictive DRM embedded... not because I want to play it but just because screw those guys for putting it in there. DRM increases piracy, not hinders it.
However, copyright infringement is not theft. It is not stealing. Nothing is removed from anywhere. No money is removed from the dev's pockets because it was never there in the first place. If the item couldn't be pirated, that person wouldn't magically have more money because a whole lot of the people that pirate do it because they can't afford it in the first place.
Not to mention, there are companies who don't consider piracy a bad thing: http://www.gamespot.com/news/angry-birds-dev-says-piracy-may-not-be-a-bad-thing-6349485
Not to mention all of these industries who are trying to fight piracy so hard are doing it in the utterly wrong way. People pirate movies? Ok, rather than make movies easy to obtain online and permanently owned just like a dvd copy... they make it abnormally difficult, with higher prices and restrictive licensing and DRM. They make movie ticket prices skyrocket. In short, they make it annoying as all hell to acquire a legitimate digital copy. On the flipside, you can go to google, type in the name of a movie (Say... I dunno, The Avengers), pull up a torrent site, hit download and bam, you now have a digital copy without drm you own.
Music is much the same way, though it is improving. It isn't a whole lot better but I have forsaken pirating music and simply listen to Pandora or Spotify.
TV shows are in the same bracket as movies. It would be so simply to, the night of or the day after showing a new episode, put it up for sale for a dollar or two for people to buy and own. Make it quick, cheap and simple and people will FLOCK to it. But they don't. So everyone just goes and watches Hulu or pirates it.
Games are a more unique sector. They have numerous methods of easily obtaining the games but these methods are getting more restrictive, with licensing and "If you piss us off, you lose everything you bought from us" rules. Origin does this, Steam... yeah, not a very good thing. Why spend all that time worrying about that if you only play single player? Just go pirate it, then nobody can take it from you, right? So we have easy methods of quickly obtaining games, but they keep adding on to their list of rules and restrictions. Steam is the best of the bunch and even they will remove all access to the hundreds to thousands of dollars of games you spent if you break a rule. Even they don't allow anything but arbitration suits. You know the times that most games make the largest amount of sales and profit on Steam? During the Summer Sale and Winter Sale. Dev's love those sales because sales skyrocket to the moon and beyond. Their profit skyrockets for a few weeks. These sales make it obvious what the problem is for a lot of people... money. Is it worth the money? Yeah... less games are these days than ever. Yay, $64.94 after tax for a new game... with 4 hours of gameplay! Awesome, I totally feel that was worth my money! I am definitely going to go buy Gears of War 2 now for another 4 hours of fun!
Is piracy wrong? According to society, yes. Is it even remotely as harmful as the corporations play it out to be? Not hardly.
Forbes:
"This is a negotiation where at any time, your customer could just go download the damn movie for free, and they’re doing you a favor by even considering picking it up legally. And you have the nerve to think it’s on YOUR terms? That’s not how negotiation works. It may not be right, but it’s reality, and they have to face it.
Yet movie companies threaten to put Netflix out of business by charging them huge amounts of money to have access to their content. Netflix is in the forefront of the war on piracy, and the studios don’t even seem to understand it. It’s incredible."

And everyone knows "You wouldn't download a car."

Yes. Yes I would. If I could, I most certainly would.
Everything in the world should be open source. Open source coding languages are being used to code these apps. For the most part. So why is it right for someone to charge money for something they built using free software? If I were a dev, I'd open up all my code to the community so we can all improve upon it.

I used to pirate apps...when i was a dumb teenager with little money. Now, i buy ALL my apps, how hard is it to pay 0.99$ for most apps, or even 5$ for the most premium, you not only get regular updates and you also say thank you to the guy that spent time and money to bring you something cool. If people were not so lazy or had higher goals in life than working for a fast food or grocery store, maybe they'd didn't care to pay that little price. The only thing i still pirate is movies, and it's strictly for convenience because here in Canada, our Netflix sucks pretty bad, our video store rent movies for 1/4 of the price of buying it new, and i live a good 30 minutes away from the closest video store. So i have no choice to download if i want to see a movie. But i regularly go to the theaters.

You just said pirating is for dumb, broke teenagers. Yet, you pirate movies. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Whether you pirate a 99 cent app, or a $40 bluray, you're still a pirate.

I really like the game on the Note 2 but was disappointed that it was only 4 level. Well now the entire game is on sale for 99 cent in the playstore. Just a heads up for those that wanted to pick it up but didn't want to pay 7 bucks for it.
How do I purchase it when my device is showing the wrong currency?

I just bought it, but it tells me that it needs 2055Mb and that I have 0Mb.
But it is wrong (I have several Gb both in the internal and SD memory). Any solution? I use CyanogenMod 10.1.
Damn I paid full price, but it was when it came out. Now I dont even play it.

You might have some problems with your memory card or need to clear game data before doing the download...it only shows 604 MB download for me and it works fine...
Wow thanks I was gonna get this the other day but I thought 6.99 was expensive for a partial game . Is the reason the download is so small is because theres part of the game already on the device. ?
12 MB shown in play store is just the basic game; data files (containing textures, video, sound etc) will be downloaded first time you run the game; my download said 603 MB and took about 15 minutes to complete.

$6.99 is the cost of one drink at a bar and is finished in about 10 minutes and a game that I have played for over 24 hours is not worth that much? cheap ass people on here.

Well I don't drink so I don't know. But in todays economy if I can save 6 bucks ...guess what Im going to do. Just the same as I'm glad I paid 140 for my note 2 instead of 650 - 700 . :good:
Add that to the fact that I buy games for when im waiting at a airport for a flight or stuck in a doctors office. I dont think it will EVER see 24hrs so that being the case all its worth to me is a buck or two .

Haha, I agree. I paid $6.99 and it was worth it at that price. At .99, it's an instant, no thought purchase.
"Apps" have created this strange phenomena that causes people to sit there and agonize if something is worth .99. IT"S A DOLLAR!!
I know, I know, a dollar is a dollar, but for what it buys in terms of the hundreds of hours spent developing a highly complex game is an astounding bargain. Even $10-$20 is reasonable, but the jury of phone owners disagrees and would never pay that ever for a smartphone/tablet game.
Devs' only hope is HUGE volume. I feel bad for them sometimes, knowing they only make like .69 on a .99 game. That's crazy talk, but reality in this new "everything better be under $1.99 or I'm out" app world. Fun times.
Can someone help me out for the multiplayer part of the game
For those that have played MULTIPLAYER, will it show me and my friend/opponent on the SAME track at the same time? Because I don't want multiplayer to be like this: i race the track and get a certain time, and my friend races on his own and gets a time limit and the lower time wins. In other words, will we be visible on the race track to each other and able to hit each other?
If you're confused just let me know and i'll try to explain it better. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies
the one on the android market doesn't support the Moga controller.. what's the deal with that.. @ $0.99 still a good price.
Kinda off topic.. but when you down load these games, its like 12-15mb From the market and then like 1gb when you start the app. Does the additional download have to be on the internal memory?
I know the phone doesn't support app2sd but didn't know if the additional files could be downloaded on the ext sdcard.
Wouldnt know as I dont have a microsd card.

hey if I could really get some help with hacking a game or an idea on why I cant hack it.
So im playing racing rivals, using game killer to try and hack it, once I hack, get the money and gold I desire. I make sure it shows up in the corner that I have gotten the money. once I go to buy something, the game say nf or something like that, then reloads the game and im back where I started.
any ideas??
thanks for the help.
not hackable from what I researched. make a new account on another device or bluestacks... give it ur 7 second car (once u get one) get the winnings from bonuses and transfer everything back... gets u around 100k... or u can beat campaign again and get 100k + cars

I play this game too, and while I'm no cheater after seeing what they want from you, I understand the request. I.e. when you first start playing you are given a choice of cars to choose from for free to start your campaign, I chose the scion tC, I lost my scion to a scammer who said he was giving his cars away and deleting the game. In the showroom the car cost 32,000 in game cash to purchase, when you loose a car they give you 24 hours to restore the car you lost. You are not given the option to restore it with in game cash, instead you must use the other currency which is gems, (these are ridiculously hard to come by) they wanted 1500+ gems to restore my car, in order for me to obtain that many I would have to save them for months, or pay real money for them, the real cash I would have had to spend to restore my car was over 20 buck real cash. So I can see why someone would want to have a hack available just to circumvent the absolutely ludicrous real cost of in game currencies. I know that monetization for mobile games has gone the way of in game purchases, however being from the old school of gaming I would gladly pay 20 bucks for a game with a single in game currency that can be earned for anything the game has to offer, rather then give you who knows how much for intangible goods. Hell I would be more likely to give them 50 bucks for the game, then give them one red cent for an in game purchase, and along the lines of why even play if your going to cheat. You mean to tell me that you never used a game shark or a majix mod on any of your platforms for the purpose of getting ahead in a game? The only thing that seems bad about this request is that if you hack their game you are cutting into their money because you didn't purchase the game like you would a traditional game. However I never saw a traditional game have some completely ludicrous price tag, and even the few that were priced way higher than most others based on the expectancy and sheet number of people trying to get it on release day, it was never a recurring cost unless you broke the game or it was stolen from you. As a junior developer I understand the ridiculous amount of time it can take to create a game, but raping you customers to be able to continue to play isn't right either. If they were a little more realistic with their pricing we wouldn't have so many people looking for a hack.

Cheating in games could be very fun because with racing rivals cheat you can generate as many resources as you want right? Also you can use racing rivals mod which is quite better than hacks and cheats
