General Discussion / Re: feedback, Dominion Offline & free subscriptions for old MF users
19 January 2018, 09:34:43 AM
Hi Stef,
Thank you for the opportunity to voice my hopes for Dominion Online as well as be eligible for an extended subscription! I had content from the original Dominion Online and enjoyed it greatly, and while I was disappointed for it to drop the offline campaign and adopt a subscription model, I was thankful to at least be given a subscription as compensation. I hope, given it's at the end of the ten day mark, I am not too late for this opportunity to extend that! I'll try to address all points as concisely as I can!
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
The ideal for me - I enjoy playing against humans but there's a lot of times I just want to play the old campaign and would appreciate any offline client with campaigns.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I've never considered this but I love the idea. It would be great to brush up on my skills for when I play with friends and family, using their play styles as templates (such as a focus on money, attacks, or action cards)!
3. A strong bot.
Depends how strong; I like a challenge but sometimes if an AI is too optimized it can lose its fun as it's just about using the perfect strategy and having a bit of luck. However, I prefer a challenging bot over artificial difficulty (I remember the old campaigns had missions where the bots were given better starting cards which felt frustrating).
4. Options for timed games
Personally I don't like time limits, it causes me stress. I would not utilize this feature much.
5. Options for undo settings
Undo is nice because sometimes I click the wrong option onscreen that I simply didn't mean to select (a mistake I don't have a problem with when playing the physical game). I think undo is fair as long as the player did not do something that gives them an unfair advantage (like draw cards, seeing the top of their deck).
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I don't have friends who play online. I might play in mini-tournaments with strangers if available though.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Once again, I don't have friends who play this online at the moment, but it's a nice feature to have, especially if I find some.
8. More translations (to what language?)
Not applicable to me, I only speak English fluently.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I don't think it matters too much as long as players can see what's going on.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Sure, UI is important to me, there's a lot of cards to keep track of now!
10. Option to hide the log
I probably wouldn't hide it but options don't hurt.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I don't have an Android device.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Oh definitely, I'd love to play on my iPhone!
13. Downloadable game logs
I don't think I'd use this feature.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I haven't had a problem that needs moderation so I can't speak on whether it needs improving.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
I know how to play but it would be nice to know others have access to that so I'm less likely to play with someone who doesn't know how to play.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Answer is the same as 15.
As for additional comments... I'd just love an offline client with campaigns! I'm easy to please! And I hope I'm eligible for the extended subscription on offer here! As long as it's priced fairly, I would buy the campaign upon release, but I would love to have a bit more time added to my current subscription!
Oh, and my username in game is same as this, ShadJV!
Thank you so much!!!
