What's up with Dominion Online? It is running so slowly as to be virtually unplayable.

The card list used to show what cards were available by level. It now has only the ability to show cards by set.

Maybe I am missing something.

I think both are useful.

By set lets you examine sets to see if you like those cards and would want to buy the expansion.

By level gives you the ability to see what cards are available in the core set online.

When you right click on any card, event or landscape, or a card pops up on the screen as part of play, it does not go away all the time when you click on it or anywhere on the screen. It often takes several clicks to clear it off the screen. It is somewhat random since it doesn't happen every time.

When I right clicked a symbol put up by a hex, it did not show what the hex was. In this case it was the deluded or envious hex. I right clicked the symbol it puts by my hand information, but nothing happened, so I wasn't sure which one it was and had no way of telling. I don't know if this is the case for all the symbols like

Seems like a new release that include Plunder. When you turn off the "Show VP Counter" switch, the points still show. I'm hoping this is a bug and not a permanent change.

This seems to be occurring more frequently.

The game ends and the OK button comes up, but everything is locked. The only way I can get out of it is closing the browser. The scores cannot be seen.

I have had this happen in bot games and live games. The other person gets locked out as well.

I am running a PC with Windows 11 using the Chrome browser.

With points showing, so many games (particularly multi player) end in 3 pile endings. All it takes is to figure out if you can end up with more points on a last turn. When someone buys 8 estates to end a game, that is utterly ridiculous. That is the most extreme example, but there have been numerous other ridiculous endings. That would never happen if the points were not showing. The game was not meant to be played like that. Without the points showing, no game would end that way. It takes some of the skill out of deck building. There have been great and fun kingdoms ruined by 3 pile endings.

Why not make the default no points showing? So what if someone keeps track on the side. If it means that much to you, you can do it too. But there are those of us who like to play the game as it would be at a table where you can't be sure of what the points are. Try it sometime and see how it changes the game.

And don't suggest setting up a game with the points off and wait for someone to join. That's a losing cause as very few people seem to join games from the table list.

How can you find a game you want to go back and look at?

For example, I just finished a game then logged out, but wanted to go back and look at the result and reload it to see what the last turn looked like. Because I logged out, the game number was number was no longer in the message section.

Under the old interface it was more straight forward to find an existing game.

With the current interface, it is harder to find a game that is available to try to join. There are too many games listed with the TABLES option.

When you go to the TABLES list, the default is that all the options are selected. I suggest changing the default options to only 2P, 3P, 4P+ and NEW. No one looking to join a game is looking for completed or running games. Keep those buttons for those who may want to look for them, but do not have them be  part of the default options so they have to be turned off.

This will make it easier to find available games as the list will be much shorter.

I'm a bit confused on how Creating a Table and Automatch work together. Or do they not work together?

For example, if I create a table and then go to Automatch, will my table be the game played?

Or does automatch just match players based on rating and levels?

If I create a table, is the only way people can join me is by looking at the tables and electing to play my game from there?

I seem to recall under the old interface, I could create a table and other players would join via automatch. If I create a table now, it seems as if I can't ever get other players to join.

If I create a game, does it got into the automatch queue?

I create a game for 2 or 3 players.
Parameters:
card pool level 10
rated
colonies random
shelters random

I can't seem to get anyone to join.
I have even tried making it a 2 player game.

Ami I missing something?
Is level 10 too high to get other players?
           

I Cameled a Border Village. (exiled it).

The next turn I bought a Border Village and retrieved the exiled Border Village.

If I understand the rules right about gaining, when you claim a card from exile, you gain it. I thought I should have been able to get 2 cards for < 6, because I gained 2 Border Villages. (one bought, 1 retrieved from exile). But I was allowed to get only 1. Is that a bug?

Situation: Automatch
Level: 10
Min Level: 5
My rating: 50
Max Rating: +10 (60)
Min Rating: -10 (40)
Rated or Unrated
2 or 3 players
I got automatched into a 2 person game with a player rated 37.

Why did this happen?
I try to avoid players with ratings less than 40 as many (but not all) are new and play slowly.

If you block a player I assume that means they can't join a game I created nor can I join a game they created.

But what about if someone else creates a multiplayer game.
If I join, is the player I blocked still allowed to join ?
If already joined the game, will I still be allowed to join it?

I've run into this more lately in 2 player and multiplayer games.

Rated game and a player quits just before the game ends turning their last turn over to a bot, thus turning the game into an unrated game.

I have been in the winning position in several of these games.
So what happens with ranking points? Do I not get credit for the win?

I've read where they get penalized but that doesn't do anything for my ranking if I don't get credit for the win.
The only direct thing I can do is blacklist them so I won't be playing against them again.

The only reason I care about ranking is so that I can see how I am doing relative to other players and be able to play in games of higher ranked players so I can learn from playing against them.

For the "Core" card subscription, it states "easier" cards. Does this mean it will no longer be by set as it was previously?

Will it be something like cards rated level 1 through some level and from all sets?

I exiled an Ill Gotten Gains with a camel.

When I bought an Ill Gotten Gains and gained the exiled one, my opponents should have gotten 2 curses, but only got 1.

The text of the card reads "When you gain this, each other player gains a curse".

When a card is exiled, it is not gained. It is gained when it is taken out of exile. Therefore when I bought 1 and got the other out of exile, I gained 2 Ill Gotten Gains and 2 curses should have be gained by the other players.

With the way the player names rotate at the upper left of the screen, it is hard to keep track of who you follow. You have to keep looking at the log to remind yourself of which player you play after. It's kind of annoying to see the player order change as the current player's name is rotated to the top.

In the old interface it just went around like sitting at a table. Much easier to know when your turn was coming up.

Is there any way to see all the Allies cards in the set like you can other sets?

I have the Allies preview on and I get a couple of cards each game, but I seem to be getting pretty much the same cards each game. I would like to see all of them.

The shuffle algorithm needs improving.

1. When the deck is empty and it reshuffles, you get the exact same hand you just had.

2. When you get 2 of the same card, they often come up together after the next shuffle.

3. Too many times cards seem to be stuck together and you keep getting them together in future hands.

4. Often when you get a card and the deck is shuffled, that card shows up in the first hand after the shuffle.

5. It almost seems like the cards stay in the same order and hands are modified only because cards are added.
