Hi Stef,
I liked playing Online Dominion this past year and there has been a lot of improvements in the meantime. Here is my feedback...
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I actually don't miss having offline client. I played Dominion online even before MF and that kind of game was my priority.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Different difficulty levels would be good to have.
3. A strong bot.
Definitely it is needed to have stronger bots that they are at the moment. Some cards bots never play like those that are somehow collecting points and even when trashing cards there could be better choices made.
4. Options for timed games
Not high on my priority list. I'm not sure what should happen when someone exceeds time for the move, but for tournaments it would be nice to have some limitation.
5. Options for undo settings
I would very much like that. It would be nice to set undo preferences before the match, so when matching of pairs is done that everybody knows to which kind of game they joined. I would prefer playing without undos.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
This would be very nice to have.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Yes, it would be cool to have some kind of "lobby" with players that are online and to initiate a game with someone. It would be good to have possibility to check some statistics for that player that we consider inviting like rank, number of games played etc.
8. More translations (to what language?)
Not needed for me.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
This is good enough in my opinion.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes, for some situations it's not enough visible and could use improvements.
10. Option to hide the log
Not needed for me as I would never use that option.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I rarely played on my phone because it was too slow, so now I don't feel much need for this.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I'm not an iPhone user.
13. Downloadable game logs
Yes, this would be useful.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I would like to be able to disable chat when player starts to be abusive and not receive any messages anymore.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
It would be helpful since I would like my friends to join.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Same as 15, but this tutorial can be short with basic stuff needed to get around.
I would like to add also that sometimes I have a feeling that after shuffling cards I bought in the last turn are very likely to be in my next hand. It just seemed this happens with higher probability than expected.
As for the additional options, I would like to have possibility to approve match and not automatically to be added to the game once a match is found.
My username in the game is like on the forum - kaliopa.
All the best and thanks for the game
