Who would have thought we'd be lamenting the death of Goko?

[jsh357]

Personally I am ready to move on, especially with SCSN's mod existing, but yeah, it's weird.

[Roadrunner7671]

Oh, crap!
Is there a mobile version?

How is a coloured gamelog an improvement?

It's an improvement over the Goko log, not the Salvager log.

I just posted a response to those 30 points in the MF forum thread.  Feel free to add your own thoughts, but please be civil.    Yelling at them, however valid your points may be, will only make us all seem like a bunch of fringe lunatics.

version 2 does improve in some ways over version 1:

the avatar turning pink when it's a possession turn

This is one of those things (Dominion and the internet being other examples) of which you didn't know you couldn't live a day without them until they entered your life.

I haven't played with Possession on 2.0 yet...  I had to set up a kingdom specifically today to see how terrible the Bane animation was.

Ever since I got the most recent version, something like 1 out of 4 games for me have ended with an error message about not being able to connect to the server. Of course this requires the entire program to shut down as well.

The thing still crashes my computer after three games. sigh! See guys, I knew they posted somewhere they were closing the site down.

I tried the new client yesterday, before I noticed this news just to try out SCSNs patch.
I think the patch really helped, delays were no longer my biggest annoyance. Thanks to SCSN for that.

Unfortunately automatch still totally sucked.

They still have the same silly interface, using a choose-thing on the left (human/AI/human+AI) and a toggle-thing on the right (2P/3P/4P) that look exactly the same.
They also still display AI as brains and humans as pawns. While waiting for a match I still get no feedback whatsoever.
I suggested doing something else on all of these five months ago and got really nice thank you notes for all suggestions.

MF claimed my rank was 5048 or something, good enough with me.
Now I have the option of choosing (Any rating, close if available, only within 1000 points of my rating).
I honestly have no idea what the difference between the first two is, so I went with the latter.

On a scrying pool engine my opponent opened Potion/Silver and I went for Potion/Pawn. Apparently my opponent was very impressed with my Pawn buy, because on turn 3 with $4P in play he also bought a Pawn.

During some of my games I had this weird display thing where all the cards went small. Even on games where it didn't, the animations when my opponent bought a card often made it look strange. He bought an Armory, yet the animation started at the Ironmonger pile, very confusing every time.

Clearly MF is ready for launch now.

I've played quite a few games on v2.0 recently, and that thing always happens. It seems they don't really take your ranking into account while automatching.
Or maybe the leaderboard is not "settled" enough yet.

Surely at least this one isn't MF's fault.  Unless you're criticizing their automatch functionality?

I believe he's doing exactly that.  No one should be matched with Stef who would buy Pawn with $4P on a Pool board.

Does anyone else remember how exciting it was when Goko was ready for their first launch?

I remember, but we also got a fairly advance warning when the site would shut down. I also remember Goko being in worst shape, but luckily Salavager came out, like what, two-weeks later?

I don't think I know that Stef.

Pawn is definitely the better buy over Silver. It's an action and you can just +1 Card +$1. It's superior to silver every way on a  SP board.

Personally, I'm appalled that they're not re-importing our ratings from Goko. With an app that had a HUGE history of crashing, they should know better.

Your rating doesn't build up from playing lots of games, it just adjusts as you play better. It only take a couple handfuls of games to get it close to where it was before.
