Yeah, so I tried the MF "Alpha web build" and this is what I got:



Again, sad day.

Dropping by for a second. My gosh, is that metal armor hand mouse cursor ugly. Runs a lot smoother though.

Google doesn't have a Unity plug-in by default, which is my best guess as to why that didn't work. Same message for me.

I actually think it's a positively good way to play dominion now that the speed is finally up. I get that lots of people don't like the cursor/animations, but they're actually pretty pretty. (except the crystal ball during matches, which is actively ugly)

Well, I read a post somewhere where they said 7 cards were already coded. I'm guessing it was the super easy cards like Port.
If I were implementing Dominion, I'd actually do the opposite and start with the hard cards. The reason is that if you try to implement a card like Band of Misfits and realize that you need to redesign your rules engine as a result, it takes less effort to implement the redesign if you don't already have a ton of cards implemented with the old design.

...or you could just be like me and do them alphabetically...

Frankly they should have thrown in a few of the basic cards like Magpie or Artificer just to get us interested in playing Dominion Online again.

Wow I was not ready for that crystal ball.

As for the rating issue, I'd like to think it's because there haven't been enough games to normalize the ratings yet, but I'm confused why ratings weren't ported over. I was around 4700 on the old version, and now I'm around 2400 because...reasons?

Ratings were ported on the begining of June. But rating decresed by some amount each day you did not play on new version.

Well, it looks like there is no web build yet, so I believe MF just announced my hiatus from dominion. Sad day.

Telling paying customers they can no longer play seems like a really huge problem to me.

Why can't iguanaiguana continue to play?

It appears to be available only on PC, Mac, and Linux.  He (and several others, I believe) have stated they only play on mobile.  The old web version was usable on mobile.  The new version isn't.

True for me. I do my home computing on an iPad.

No iPad app & no browser version = no dominion for me. :(

Hey it would be great to play a game or three of dominion before I turn in for the night. Except of course I can't.

Thanks. Also, what about it do you find funny? The idea that he doesn't like playing boards that allow engines, or am I missing something else?

Pretty much that.  At least for me, Dominion is at its most fun when we're all doing ridiculous engines.

I considered responding affirmatively and requesting to make every pro game a 4-player one, so that even if a 3rd/4th player isn't readily available, one or two bots will be added to replace them.

But what scared me off was that the idea sounds so completely awful and utterly insane that they might well run with it and have it implemented within a week.

So I played the new version for the very first time today, and I have to say it wasn't that bad. Granted I didn't experience any slowdown or crashes, but they seemed to have implemented a lot of the Salvager features, and there solution to keeping everything on one page was a little disorienting at first but is at least a better solution than Goko's. The music also didn't work but I'm prepared to call that a plus.

One interesting thing is that there's no minimum set option for automatch. As someone who didn't own any sets, I accepted a longer automatch time in exchange for not having to spend money. Now, I will often get automatched with someone else who owns no cards, and we have an oddly high level Base Set Battle.

(This isn't a criticism, I think it's entirely reasonable they do this.)

Honestly, the new version is okay, but I wish the log was more readable, and I don't get why avatars need to show up in the game chat. I don't like how the rating system is opaque, I have no idea how many points I've gained/lost for each game. That makes it hard to figure out why I lost 100 points for going 2-1 against someone...

Anyone else still having the new client make your computer run hot?  My crappy laptop still sounds like it's about to take off when I play Dominion...  I don't think it's as bad as when it first came out, but still...

The main thing that's still striking me as odd is that every time I hit the Play button I get some probably-not-random-but-definitely-not-always-the-same-as-last-time set of options selected.  It would be convenient if it always remembered your settings. 

The rematch feature is great for finding games quickly though.

It's still terribly bad for me, on a 2012 MacBook Air. Yesterday I accidentally left the client running on background while writing an email, only to notice that after a couple of minutes the fan was at max speed. The funny thing is I wasn't even playing a game but instead the only thing I had done since starting the client was opening the Campaign selection map and the game was idling there.
