I love seeing all of the Making More Fun tweaks realized in this implementation.

I'm excited to see where this goes. It feels like the spiritual successor to Isotropic.

I hope more of the Making More Fun tweaks get put into this eventually!

How do you go through life without right-clicking?

I feel like I use right-click every day!

I possessed the other player.  I played the Bishop and trashed one of his cards.  (which I shouldn't have done because he gets those VPs)  Anyways, it then said I could trash one of my cards, but my deck never came up to allow me to trash a card.  It did have a "Don't Trash" button, so I was able to move on.

Still not horribly relevant, but possession now gives you the tokens when you play it instead of the possessed player.

The title says it all. Currently there is no way to see the total of cards any player has bought.
I'd like to improve my game, but that's difficult if I can't see in the end which strategies worked, and which didn't.

I know you will be able to look at game logs soon.

1. When an opponent plays Sentry, an empty window shows up on the screen for me, like a small gray box. I don't know what it's supposed to be.

I know they are planning on putting the backs of the cards in that box eventually, but that they haven't gotten to that yet.

I would like to see the retired cards return eventually. Players could opt out of playing with them. I would pay for retired cards, like I paid for Promos on MF.

I could see leaving them out of tournaments.

In real life, no one is going to throw away all their retired cards and never play them again. They will add the new ones in and play games with everything in the mix.

I'd also like to see fan expansions but I'm resigned to that not happening. Retired cards, though. Once the dust settles here and all features are implemented I'd really like to see retired cards come back.

I'm just curious, which of the old cards do you miss?

I'm currently waiting out another player who "left the table", coincidentally while losing.

I'm still not seeing the logic here.  I'm playing against someone, their computer crashes, I have to wait 5 while they reboot, grab a coffee, visit the restroom, and come back to finish the game?  If their computer crashes, that's their problem. 

And that's the best case scenario, 9 times out of 10 this is because someone was losing and doesn't want to take the quit on their record.

I believe the ratings are currently frozen, so if you think they left just because they were losing, you could resign yourself, and it won't affect your ranking anyway.

Doctor won't let you name shelters to trash them. I think Journeyman, and presumably other name-a-card effects have the same problem.

Yes.  There is currently no way for you to select cards that don't have a spot in the supply, or near the supply.  This is high on their priority list and I think we will see that feature in the near future.

In my rush to get registered again on the new platform I mistyped my user name without checking it. How can I change it to the one I had previously?

PM Stef or Philip, although they probably won't get around to it for a while because they are implementing new features.

What is the purpose of waiting 5 minutes and then forcing someone else to resign?  I just waited through this 5 minutes because some doofus left a table - I'm sure because he realized he was losing -- and it's completely annoying.

I know this is fairly high on their priority list.  They want to make the timeout feature smarter so that people aren't punished for taking too long thinking when they are actually there, but so that slowplaying is impossible.

I would add something about how the bots don't currently work that well with trashing.  And have a high affinity to counterfeit, and don't ever name the right thing with contraband.

I would say that covers a large portion of the AI bugs.

This looks really good by the way!  I hope they sticky it.

How do I view cards on a Mac? I cannot right click. Usually CTRL+click works, but not on Dominion.

Ideas?

I use 2-finger click on trackpad.

Making long-press to see the card on iPad is quite high on the list now, we hope to implement it soon.

This was just implemented and pushed to the release today!

Someone new to split cards can't find out what the second card does by right clicking.

This is a known problem, same as being able to see all the prizes in the prize pile, or knights in the knights pile.  They are working on it.

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Dominion Feature List
---------------------
* Player ratings.  (should have a way to see this when looking at a table, when a player is joining a game, and during a game)  Should show their record, quit rate, and rating.

They are working on this.  They have frozen the past rankings for a couple of weeks so everyone can learn how to play on the new client and they can get a leaderboard and stuff setup.  This stuff is planned.

* A way to exclude bots from games.

This is already implemented.  Just do good match or quick match, or wait until a table has the minimum number of players at it before you click ready.

* Person that lost in last game goes first.  Otherwise random.

I'm pretty sure they are already looking into this.  It may even be implemented already.  I know you can choose who goes first in the game settings.

* Public room with all players in it.  Ability to chat with anyone.

I guess I am of the opposite mind.  Why do you want this?

* Ability to exclude certain cards.

Just mark those cards as unfamiliar and set max unfamiliar cards to 0 in your settings

* Equal starting hands option.  (4/3 or 5/2)

This isn't in the rules of dominion, although I think it would be a good feature.

* A text version similar to Isotropic would be a great option. (This was promised by Stef, ETA?)

I know this is on their radar.

* Equal # of turns option.  (i.e. phantom provinces)
* Private rooms.
* Ability to veto random sets before the game starts.
* Each player should do at least one move before they can timeout and it is counted as a loss. (do you have this?)
* A way to mute someone in chat.  (Can it do this?)
* Game does not start until both players confirm.  (It does not do this if you click on "Good Match")

Also your website is very hard to find.  playdominion.com should have a link to your website.  Isotropic should
link to you as well.  When I type "Play Dominion" into Google, you should be the first hit.  Right now you don't even show up.

These last ones are all interesting.  I have never played with phantom provinces, or being able to veto stuff.  The timeout thing sounds like a good idea.

I think the URL not showing up is just because the site is brand new.  playdominion.com won't link here because they are the old company that lost the license, so I doubt they will want to do anything to help this implementation...  I know the owner of isotropic has been emailed though.  It was also in the email they sent out to all of the existing MF users.

Also looking at some images of the Hearthstone interface, god help me if Dominion ever looks like that - I would likely stop playing.

Interface opinions can go both ways. I much prefer the (simpler) styles in this version to MF, and I doubt I am alone.

I agree with you here.  I think it is much easier to follow the new client than the old one, and they are implementing new things much more rapidly.
