@ffejselur "Revenge Witch" is an inside joke referencing a certain spam post on the Dominion strategy forums. Anyway, in the setting of a middle ages / fantasy themed game, I don't see how it would be offensive (or sexist). Eventually, there should be more bots to choose from.

I'm talking about games marked as 'new' not just post-game.

Yes, it'd really help if there were a way to sort the tables. IMO, by default it should be sorted by New games first, then completed games (where one of the original players may be waiting for a new opponent), then ongoing games last. And probably, there should be a button on the scorecard screen to mark the table as waiting for a new player (rather than just looking at the scorecard or leaving it on the scorecard screen for whatever reason).

I don't understand why there are so many tables that appear to be waiting for a player, then I join, and the host never starts the game. Why do people create a table and then go AWOL? (It does notify them if a player joins their table doesn't it?)

Also don't have the buy nothing button where the autoplay treasures button usually is.

I second/third/whatever/agree with these comments.

Why don't cards revealed by City Quarter remain visible once they are returned to my opponent's hand?

Because lot of people (including me) were getting confused why they were able to see cards in the opponent's hand. It really looks like a bug when you don't realize why it's happening, but it'd be fine if it was an option with default to off.

There are a lot of problems with this.

- Joining a table with an empty seat for players should automatically sit them down to play (I've introduced about 10 people to this client and every single one of them was confused by the way it currently is).

- This goes along with the previous one, but there needs to be a way to your friends in the client without being at the same table as them.

- There should be something visible on the table when the host of the table is AFK for a certain amount of time.

- The default setting for acceptable opponents at my table is +-30 rating points. First of all, this should not be an option for me if I can't see my rating because I have absolutely no idea what it means (what constitutes a game that will affect this rating? etc.); but at the very least make the default setting to accept any match. If I try and make a table with someone who just signed up they will keep getting kicked because of this until I change the setting, and to change it I have to dig through Advanced table options.

- Tables I create go back to the global default settings instead of remembering what my last table settings were.

This is the current new player experience, and every person I bring to the new client is going through all of this, followed by the same first-game kingdom because they didn't adjust their familiar cards and had no reason to think they should. You can change any one of these things above and the problem will be solved immediately.

I agree with the above.

If I go ahead and play online now (since that's the only format available), will I still be eligible to receive the offline version for free when it is released?

Yes.

See the FAQ under the label "Where is the mobile / offline version?":

I'll look into moving the play area, but I haven't seen that option in my profile or anything ... where do you find it?

Options tab at the top of the screen.

While there are a few improvements in this platform over the previous one (I love the confirmation about trashing and discarding), there are also some big annoyances. Please address these issues, in order of important (in my opinion).

1) SOUND ALERTS. I rely on the sound alerts to let me know when it's my turn, and to pay attention to when my opponent purchases a providence or colony. Bring these back ASAP.

2) Don't force cards in the hand to stack unless the hand is too large to view all cards fanned out. If some people like the stacking, have it as an option, but have no stacking also as an option.

3) Add option to hide VP counter.

4) Change how the layout is so the gray box describing what is happening is not directly over the deck.

5) Show the trash.

Thanks! Hope you get these implemented very soon to improve player experience.

There are already options for #3 and #4. Unfortunately, the option to not use VP counters is only available if you create a table (not in matching). The Option for #4 is called "Move kingdom and play area". Turn this to off and the box won't be over the kingdom anymore.
They have also said that there's a plan to show the trash (more visible than the top of the log where it is now).

Seriously though, that's a huge rule change that isn't real Dominion. You can play however you want IRL, but the official online version of Dominion should use the official rules for the most part.

It that case, there shouldn't be VP counters. (They should at least be off by default.)

(I could also comment on how Black Market is handled but that change has been officially approved by Donald.)

There's on option to toggle "Move kingdom and play area" which defaults to on. Turn this off and the kingdom cards will stay near the top and the action, buy, coin counter won't hover over them on your turn.

game #180 on frankfurt-test.

Game crashed when I reacted to Oracle with Diplomat.

Same thing happens with me (I think I mentioned this before). Also using Chrome on Windows 10.

Lord Rattington just trashed a Province with his Jack. (forgot to write down game number)
