So I'm someone who bought expansions thinking they'd last forever, and didn't play the game for a long time. By the time I started playing, it had switched over to a subscription and my free year was gone (I literally started playing a week after it ended, so I got NO use out of that entire year. It went completely to waste.)
Considering that, I would definitely love an extra 6 months. My username is Zhuria
I'm also a casual and just learning to play better, so my main wishes are:
A) Save my bot table settings or let me change them BEFORE starting a bot game. Right now I have to start a bot game, resign, then I can lower the bot difficulty (I'm real bad)
B) Improved bot AI (they seem way too obsessed with chapels, for one!)
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I would definitely use this as I'm only playing versus bots and the browser can get laggy. Furthermore, one with all the expansions, for a player like me, would be wonderful. I tend to only play things for short periods at a time before taking long breaks so subscriptions are very annoying for me.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Absolutely!
3. A strong bot.
A strong bot would wipe the floor with me right now so I'm indifferent.
4. Options for timed games
Not interested, I like to take my time. Already the games move quicker than I'd like, but that's the nature of the game itself.
5. Options for undo settings
I'm not entirely sure what this would be but I can't see myself needing it.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I wouldn't use this in my current state of ability, but it does sound fun
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
That sounds extremely useful and like something I would use if/when I play versus players or with friends.
8. More translations (to what language?)
I'm find with just english.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I don't like that I almost always have to look at the log to figure out what just happened. I think there could be a short delay when opponents do things (i.e. when they buy something or play an action that affects me but requires no input from me, leave it on the screen for a moment longer so I have a chance to see it) - you could make up this time by having them play all their treasures at once instead of one at a time.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Not applicable as I haven't encountered these mechanics yet
10. Option to hide the log
Could be useful but I'm find without it since I rely quite a bit on the log to figure out what just happened..
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I would use this.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I wouldn't use this.
13. Downloadable game logs
I wouldn't use this.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Not applicable as I have only played versus bots.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Would be very useful for newcomers but not for me as I had friends teach me. I do remember using it in the previous version of the online game, though. (I tried it briefly before putting it down for literally years)
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Would be useful. Had to press a few different buttons before I figured out how to magnify cards, for example. And it sounds like there are some more complex mechanics that I haven't tried yet that could be confusing.
