Hi Stef! Really appreciate this gesture.
I'm happy to provide feedback from the perspective of a casual player over the last few years.
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Not too interested in this. I could see myself using on a mobile device while on an airplane or something similar, but that's about it. An offline LAN type of client would be interesting, but probably much more difficult and old-fashioned.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Rarely play bots, but could see it being useful. Likely low priority.
3. A strong bot.
Same feelings as prior answer. Better than a weak bot I suppose!
4. Options for timed games
This would be great. Could see it being really fun! I imagine it could get rather tricky with engine builds though.
5. Options for undo settings
This is definitely a nice-to-have, but rather low priority IMO.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I personally wouldn't use this much, but it sounds really fun.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
For me, this would be a fantastic feature since I mostly play with the same few people.
8. More translations (to what language?)
English is perfect for me.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Another nice-to-have. Wouldn't say it's top priority, but can't hurt.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Definitely this as a high priority IMO. Split piles in particular are a pain in the current state.
10. Option to hide the log
This could be nice/fun. I like this feature, but definitely just a nice-to-have.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Doesn't affect me.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
This would be nice, but I don't think it is worth a major engineering effort if would be required. Tablets perform better on the mobile side.
13. Downloadable game logs
For me personally, not a big deal. I know more competitive players that would enjoy this, however.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Doesn't affect me, never really had issues.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
I think this could be very helpful for new players, and for aiding friends you introduce to the game. The game itself is already quite complex, and, when having to explain the nuances in the UI on top of everything, it can be overwhelming.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Ah, previous answer sort of answers both 15 and 16. Tutorials are definitely welcome though!
Additional thoughts.
A few last things that come to mind:
-A way to easily follow top players or the current "top game" in progress (if they allow spectators of course).
-Music! I miss this about the old client. Something nostalgic about cheesy music playing. Toggle-able of course.
Thanks again for opening up discussion here. My IGN is the same as my forum name here and I currently have all expansions.
Cheers!
