Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: Black Market?
« on: September 12, 2016, 05:47:39 pm »On a completely different note, I would like it if Events popped up in the BM deck as well.
I envision a Quantum Market filled with Landmarks that start acting only once they are observed.

« on: September 11, 2016, 06:21:06 pm »Didn't isotropic restrict log history to just a few recent turns? That prevents reading back through the full log to get BM info. BM isn't the only case where you may be incentivized to read through the whole log, so I think providing the full log is inherently problematic.
(By the way, back when isotropic was still around, I spent a little time working on a feature for drheld's extension that would track BM contents. Never bothered finishing it though.)
Isotropic provided the full log when the point counter was enabled, and the last 3 turns when it was not.

« on: August 30, 2016, 04:00:10 pm »From a quantitative perspective also, I think Donald is certainly competitive enough to be hired as a software engineer. For a senior position say he can make 200K a year at that job. That is 50K for 3 months. Now he can give up all this money by doing an expansion that sells almost for nothing, but why can he not spare the same amount of money to reimburse those people that have bought into Goko or MF's product (discounted by the expected subscription price times number of months used?)
If it would take just 50k to honor all Goko/MF purchases that's 100% what would have happened. The actual amount will end up being such that this just isn't possible.
Wait, really? The (aggregated) difference between had each member only paid a subscription amount for the time they bought vs. what they paid with the one-time set purchases is actually very large?
In that case I may have misunderstood the suggestion. If it was that we should retrospectively apply our new pricing model and offer something only to those who would have ended up short, I think that would result in more, not less unhappy people.

It appears Stef and SCSN have a 'rival' for next year.

It's probably a troll, but on the off chance it is not, here you all go. Just read all of the posts by Harbub in this Reddit thread. He claims no legal action will happen to him, and if he changes the names and mechanics of everything like he says he will, I don't know that legal action could be taken.
"That doesn't include most card animations; those will be time-consuming."
"I plan on adding animations so that when you play a card it will look cool."
Singletee and I are talking about this. We are concluding that the guy is seriously making a game, but he's making his own thing and doing a bait-and-switch sort of thing. I mean, it could also be an elaborate troll.
I'm aware of the thread and don't have an opinion until he actually shows something.

« on: August 30, 2016, 02:12:43 am »people feel miffed about a subscription
I don't feel this is true. Chris felt miffed about eventually having to pay again rather than about any particular model, which is understandable but in the end just one of those unfortunate facts of life.
In general some people have stated they dislike subscriptions, whereas others have been equally positive. Overall the range of responses has been about what I'd expect from any payment model that isn't completely outlandish (if anything I expected a bit more negativity), so it doesn't have me worried. If it turns out to be a miserable failure we can always reevaluate.

« on: August 29, 2016, 03:36:37 pm »Alright, here's a legitimate question that might have already been answered but I don't want to wade through several pages:
Will there be a way to make monthly payments automatically once you open the game? I tend to play in spurts, and I might not play for months then randomly feel like playing again. It would be nice if I didn't have to go through a whole paying process whenever I feel like playing after a while.
Certainly not by default, but we could look into offering it as an option.

Donald has gone above and beyond the call of duty to clarify the history of online Dominion, so let's extinguish the heated exchange with a splash of gratitude.
Genuine questions about the future (and past) of online Dominion are still welcome, as long as they are free from the presumption that anyone is acting in bad faith. Unless of course that anyone is me, and the accusation is that I'm only in it for the Silvers, to which I'd respond: guilty as charged!

« on: August 17, 2016, 02:00:01 pm »As the client approaches a stable-ish alpha, then beta testing, etc, how much information will be shared about it in advance and outside of testers? Does the contract or best development practices suggest you should keep new dominion information close to the chest? Or will we get to drool over screenshots of the new interface very soon?
Where can I sign up for the Alpha testing? Maybe it's all random, but if there's a list, I'd like to sign up
We're resuming testing with the original testers soon. Our forum will be launched around the same time, which will contain some information for non-testers about possibly becoming a tester at a later stage.
Don't expect to be drooling over screenshots soon, but we'll give you an impression of our work before the launch.

I'm always happy to share new Dominion information: it's unwise to buy so many Golds and Silvers.

Change of schedule: ADK and I decided to play the match two hours ago in secret, with no pressure from prying eyes.
The result? A narrow 4-2 win.

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: Clarification on 2017/2018 pricing??
« on: July 17, 2016, 08:30:17 am »I have a question:
Now I have only two expansion: Prosperity, Seaside. What will happen if I now buy subscription through December 31? I will lose Prosperity and Seaside and in 2017 I will must buy new subscription or I will still have choice between offline – online version?
You will still have Prosperity and Seaside for 2017, but not any of the other expansions (you'd need to pay to get those).
Quote
And second question?
Now I will sign up and buy one small expansion. On 2017 will I can choose full 2017 subscription?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but the free subscription you'd get would be till the end of 2017 for precisely those expansions you bought before the first of January 2017 (not including the subscription MF is currently offering).
If you want the full subscription with all the expansions for 2017 but do not own all the expansions come the new year, you can pay an additional fee that is less than the full price to get them all.

Would you consider creating a digital expansion that is gradually gainable by going outside to hunt for cards via an augmented reality app?

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Making Fun now offering subscriptions
« on: July 12, 2016, 06:28:11 am »Buying the subscription model now only gets you the game until the end of 2016, and then a partial / discounted subscription in 2017. Hard to know the exact cost / benefit though.
Is it confirmed that buying a subsription now will get us anything for the new 2017 version?
No, you won't get anything from the MF subscriptions from us. I think what he means is that when you already own a number of sets and now buy a subscription for the rest of the sets, you still get something for those sets you already owned.

You'll be able to report stuff like this in-game and then we'll issue a warning and/or temporary or permanent chat ban (depending on the severity and persistence of the behavior). You'll also be able to blacklist him so that you never get to play him again.
