New update, more land.

[Nick[Supercell]]

Don't wanna be a party-♥♥♥♥er, but no expansions in the next update, at least not on the roadmap.

GC App is removed in iOS10 and there's not much we can do about it. As far as I know, you can still manage your current GC friends from the device settings, but I doubt you will be able to add more of them. That being said, iOS10 introduces some new system to "add friends", via messages (could be iMessages). I haven't tested it yet myself so can't really comment on it.

Here's a video by Apple explaining how things will be in iOS10: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/611/ (you need to use Safari browser to see the video tho).

Cheers,

Nick

You truly are a party-♥♥♥♥er.
Why make such a post on the Facebook? :/

I won't give out my phone number to complete strangers from a game forum. I think Hay Day will receive a big dent after iOS 10 comes out, as there are many players that do not want to use Facebook.

How come you are so reliant on Facebook, when your games are supposed to be mobile platform? Step it up!

Edit: Thanks for the link, and my god what an annoying presenter.

Wow. Just wow. Supercell is letting things slip through their fingers with no ready fix or solution. When you put gamecenter in place waaaaaaaay back in the beginning before android (for your games at least) came along, did you not see that there would be an end to that? Didn't it occur to Supercell that we players have all of our game information and playing friends on this GC? Now we are to be able to use another option put out by Apple that will be even more invasive. I refuse to give out anymore personal information to a complete stranger for the option to play my game.

Or have I gotten this all wrong???? I watched that annoying video. Seriously?? I'm annoyed. Very annoyed.

We have made similar posts before as well. No teasers yet. We're not there yet.

Removing the GC App from iOS10 has nothing to do with us. We are of course talking about this within the team, but we need to see how iOS10 and the new invite works IRL.

Like I stated above, the removal of the GC App in iOS10 has nothing to do with us. We didn't foresee it happening until it was announced.

However, your current friends should all stay, but adding new ones will be the key question.

No. I think you have gotten it pretty right.
It seems that our current friends list will be frozen as they are in the current state when updating to iOS 10. We will be able to send invites for multiplayer games to our GC friends, but we will not be able to add any new friends nor will we be able to accept friend invites.

Honestly. In my opinion, and I am sure some others as well, it is time for SC to come up with a friend system for Hay Day. Might as well put in a messaging/whisper system at the same time, so that we can communicate with our friends. Don't forget to add a ignore/block system to prevent the gold spam and such that will come. It is already on Facebook.

What I love about GC is that you can see when a person last played a game, for me that matters as I go through all of my friends shops every day. It is no fun having to swipe through maybe 30 players that aren't playing anymore. You can't see this on Facebook. Plus, you do not get all the sex spam and half nude ♥♥♥♥ on GC as you do on FB.

Nick. Could you look into if your new partnership with Tencent will open up for a new way of adding friends?
From that video you posted it sure does sound like it won't function anywhere near how it does now. They seem to focus on multiplayer games but not Hay Day type of multiplayer.

As I said above. An integrated system inside Hay Day with whisper function would be the best.

Also. Thank you for finally stepping into the GC topic.

What I would like to know is if GC will continue to function if we don't update to iOS 10? Can they freeze our ability to add friends if we don't play their silly game and stick with the version we have now?

At least not on the roadmap..... hmz.... fishing area? town?

Way to be optimistic.

months and months ago the question was asked here about gamecenter disappearing in ios10. What a crock of grits you didn't know about it. Heck, I even posted links way back referencing how Apple was putting the onus on game coders to figure out how to adapt their games to continue using gamecenter... And surely you realize that ios10 in beta was released months and months ago... Asleep at the wheel for sure

there ya go seeing as you appear to suffer from old-timers or CRS. You even answered in your usual glib manner.
