General Discussion / Offensive Language in Chat
18 March 2018, 08:33:54 PM
Hoping a moderator can reach out to me via PM because of an interaction I had during chat in a game today. I've been playing online for many years, and have encountered many people that whined, called me stupid or other curse words, or slow-played when they were losing or got bad draws. However, today was the first time I felt somebody really crossed the line by using derogatory terms that are offensively used towards the LGBTQ community because they were unhappy about how the game went. I really hope the player gets banned as it was definitely shocking and unsettling for me, but I can imagine if the player said this to somebody from the LGBTQ community playing on the site it could be a much more painful experience.

An excerpt below that I censored, although there were multiple uses of the said offensive term in the chat:

"now do the world a favor and go die like the wothless pathetic little f****t you are"

My dominion username is also glups.

I've prioritized the proposed features in high/medium/low groups for my own personal preferences:

High priority
3. A strong bot.
- Not sure how difficult this would be, but it would definitely be a great feature. For higher ranked players, it can be hard to always match someone around our level quickly. The waiting can be painful and sometimes leads to forfeited games when I forget to check the Dominion tab.
4. Options for timed games.
- I would definitely use this feature. Sometimes I only have 15-20 minutes to play a game and I don't because I might not be able to finish a regular game.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
- Seems like a pretty fundamental feature and low hanging fruit.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
- If it existed and worked reasonably well, I would definitely use it a lot.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
- It doesn't happen so often, but when it does it really sucks and can be frustrating.

Medium priority
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
- I will probably always be primarily an online player, but I think this would be nice for flights and other times when I may not have internet access.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
- A feature that would be nice in the long-term, but I think there are others that are more important in the near future.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
- Another feature that would be great in the long-term, but I'm okay with not having it in the immediate future
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
- I think it would really helpful to have some way of seeing which split is underneath the lower-cost half.

Low priority
5. Options for undo settings
- The current button seems adequate for 95% of undo cases (single-time misclicks)
8. More translations (to what language?)
- Not relevant to me as an English player
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
- The animations are more than adequate for me, it's not what keeps me around as a Dominion player.
10. Option to hide the log
- It doesn't bother me at all, and is often useful
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
- Not relevant to me as an iPhone user
13. Downloadable game logs
- I wouldn't use this feature
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
- Not relevant to me
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
- Not relevant to me
