Thanks!

Okay, thanks. Do you know why it is taking so long to fix?

Will we be given an extension to our subscriptions for the period that this continues?

And me. He's a regular on the site, has been for years. I wish there were some way to reach out to him and let him know that he doesn't have to act like this.

IYFD, I know you're reading this because you told me in-game that you do. (I hadn't actually seen this thread until you talked about it!) Please, reach out and talk - if not to me, then to someone in your real life. You can live a better life than this. There are always people out there who will support you if you let them.

Good update. Now we just need to get the limited veto mode added back and we'll be good to go.

In.

I'm bitter that he had me permanently banned from the Dominion forums just for complaining, certainly.

I'd be interested in a link to that statement.

https://videogamegeek.com/article/10355962#10355962 "If you buy Intrigue then you can play the main set and Intrigue endlessly after paying for Intrigue once ever."
https://boardgamegeek.com/article/9921197#9921197 "If you want to pay a monthly fee, just buy one large expansion per month. That's $12 a month, and hey then it's free once you have them all."

I don't see how the word "endlessly" can be misinterpreted.

Those are just two of the examples, by the way. I had a much longer, more comprehensive list posted on the Dominion forums, but they banned me for criticising the fraudster and now I can't access it.

ADDITION: I asked, and unfortunately the 'free year' was only meant for 2017.
I understand that loosing access to the cards you thought you bought is frustrating and unsatisfactory. But the main reason for this is that Goko (the previous rights holders for an online implementation of Dominion) did not have those rights for an unlimited time, and the rights contract was not renewed.

Point of information: Mr Vaccarino explicitly stated on BGG that if we bought any sets on Goko then we would have those cards "forever". It is indeed frustrating and unsatisfactory that he brazenly lied in order to take money that he did not deserve. It is not the fault of Goko or Making Fun or Shuffle iT: it is the fault of the fraudster who lied and lied again for his own personal profit.

It was my understanding that Possession had been discreetly removed from the game, but I bought it just now via the Black Market. I then proceeded to win by a huge margin a game that I had hitherto been losing hopelessly.

If Possession has indeed been removed from the main game, then it should also be removed from the Black Market.

Anything on this?

Hello,

Has there been any progress made on the short, e.g. 5-card, veto list?

I saw it mentioned by a dev on these boards some while back, and it would be the single biggest quality of life improvement I could imagine.

One day people bought Dominion from MF thinking they'd have it forever.

In fairness, we thought that because DXV literally said on BGG that once we'd bought the sets, it'd be endlessly free:

https://boardgamegeek.com/article/9921197#9921197 "If you want to pay a monthly fee, just buy one large expansion per month. That's $12 a month, and hey then it's free once you have them all."
https://videogamegeek.com/article/10355962#10355962 "If you buy Intrigue then you can play the main set and Intrigue endlessly after paying for Intrigue once ever."

I get that that was DXV making statements that turned out to be untrue, not you doing so, but don't make out that this idea came from nowhere. The snark is unbecoming.

Anyway, my username is Chris Martin and here is my feedback:
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against < I would probably play some campaigns for completeness' sake, but I wouldn't play offline in general.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles < No interest in this.
3. A strong bot. < No interest in this.
4. Options for timed games < I think this is an outright bad idea. The reason is that some games are naturally longer than others. Players shouldn't be penalised for not rushing insanely just because they're playing a game with lots of attack cards. That's silly.
5. Options for undo settings < If you could set up an option to automatically allow Undos when there has been no new information seen, that would be useful. I would also like to be able to only play against other players who are generous with Undos.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends. < This could be fun.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table < I would definitely use this. It'd be much more convenient than the present system.
8. More translations (to what language?) < I speak only English.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/... < Personally I miss the style of Isotropic and would prefer to have no animations.
10a. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ... < It would definitely be good to have more sight of these things. At present one has to visit a Dominion website to find out what the bottom half of a split pile does.
10b. Option to hide the log < The log is essential. Why would you do that.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?) < I don't need this.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?) < I don't need this.
13. Downloadable game logs < I don't need this.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...) < I feel like the current system is fine. You guys have been very responsive when I've had to report abuse.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion < I don't need this (I hope).
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online. < This would make it easier to play with my dad.

It is. Right now, Stef is busy working out some mandatory stuff for the final Nocturne release, but the ban n cards feature is already somewhat in-the-works.

Incidentally, today a release came out that banned Possession in rated games as a "Preview." Eventually, you'll be able to select the cards you actually want banned.

Wonderful! Thank you :)

Is this going to be implemented, does anyone know? Having to so frequently see the handful of cards that ruin my game experience is the main thing stopping me from playing more.
