a guy also mentioned this in the chat, so I assume it's not me. anyone else being unable to start games because it keeps freezing at the loading screen? It happened 5 times to me today, and I did lose rating every time. It might even count as quit%
yea dunno. it sucks.
Yup, happened to me twice as well with rating loss. Is this type of rating loss reflected on isotropish or does isotropish automatically filter out goko's erroneous games?
Is there a way to tell the difference between an error and just quitting yourself?
I don't think so.
You could filter games that ended before turn 5, there is almost to quit that early so its probably goko bug.
But if people knew that, there would be some people who abused the system every time they have an unlucky opening.
yea way too much is decided by the turn 3/4 draws. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would become #1 on the leaderbord if they can quit after turn 4 without losing anything
I think that's stretching it a bit, but it certainly would give an unfair edge and would be exploited by people.
Not sure if it's even stretching it a bit. In normal Dominion, yes, but since you know that you can just quit if your turns 3 and 4 don't go the way you'd like, you can pick much riskier strategies than usually even if the expectations wouldn't normally be high. Stuff that normally has a lower-than-50% probability of succeeding, even if it gives you just a slight advantage given success, is not normally a good play, but for the cheater being enabled by this system, it is.
For example, Feast/Procession on a Baker board is not a very good idea normally, but if you don't have to lose the game even if you fail at connecting the two cards, it suddenly becomes nuts.
