Fwiw I do appreciate that TGG seems to have given me credit for having spent some money on Goko roughly 11 years ago.
One general method which works in 3 different ways:
Trash all starting Coppers, gain them by (1) trashing Lich, (2) playing Treasurer or (3) Shaman's start of turn ability, revealing Trader to exchange them for Silvers.
For my money Dominion has all the randomness it needs in the shuffle. Cards like Castles and Tournament are my least favourite, introducing unnecessary randomness by giving players different opportunities by (mostly) pure chance. Loot looks to have the same problem, tho hopefully in a less swingy way as the loots are more similar to each other than, say, Princess and Followers.
I think it would have been better to take the most interesting 2 or 3 loots and make each of them a regular treasure.
You're literally complaining that they implemented possibly the most requested feature too soon. It's an absolutely essential feature for any kind of organized tournament play, or for people playing with their friends. I'm starting to be convinced that someone will find a way to complain about literally anything MF does at this point.
playing friends with the old version: Contact them some other way, meet in a room, play
playing friends in the new version: Contact them some other way, type their name in, play
It's just as good as the system before, and obviously it will get better as they implement friends lists etc.
But it is not the priority !!!
How many games are played every day on old version ? How many games are played with two friends who contact in other way ? 1% ~ 2% !!!
Currently in this new version, when a game starts I don't know the name of the player, I don't know his level, I don't know if he played 0 game or 10.000 games before.
I think for 99% of player this is the most important.
If I want to play with a friend I contact him other way saying "hey go to outpost" and we play ! The "challenge" feature is a good thing but not the priority.
