Looks like it hasn't updated in a few days.

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: Question on Players without Expansions
« on: September 11, 2016, 05:12:28 pm »
All good, Stef!  Whatever the answer to these questions are, it's not a big deal, I'll be happy either way.

My hope would that non-paying players could still enjoy the Base set, and subscribers could still host them with all their cards.

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Question on Players without Expansions
« on: September 10, 2016, 04:04:04 pm »
I recently bounced back into the world of Dominion to find the news that there's going to be a whole new Dominion Online starting in 2017!  Everything I've read makes it sound pretty exciting, but I had one line of questioning that I haven't been able to find a full answer to yet.

Can a player still play with, or "own", the Base set without paying the $3/mo subscription, as you can on Goko/MakingFun?  (Or, at least, could at one point.)

Related, will a player be able to host a game against a player who doesn't "own" all or any of the expansions?

Basically, what if I want to get a buddy involved in Dominion Online; I subscribe to everything, but my buddy doesn't yet.  Can I host a game with any cards?  And once we're done playing, can he host other games of just Base set without paying the subscription?

Or, will my buddy have to subscribe for at least the $2/mo to play Dominion Online at all?

I've seen a couple of mentions of a trial period or X amount of free games per month, which are both cool ideas, too!

Forgive me if any of these questions are answered elsewhere; I read as much as I could!

Goko Dominion Online / Ridiculous Goko Ranking
« on: July 06, 2013, 02:29:37 pm »
Forgive me if this belongs in an already-existing topic: I know there's been plenty of complaints about Goko's ranking system.  And I have to add my two cents.

To this point, I'd always played on Casual instead of Pro, but I was having trouble finding a game, and have been wanting to try pro out, so I joined a Pro game against a guy rated somewhere around 4400.  It was a good game, and I was 1 coin away from winning, but alas did not.  I thought, oh well, his rating of 4400 is much higher than my default rating of 1000; it shouldn't affect my score to terribly.  I was thinking maybe -100 points or so.

-658 points!  WHAT?!?  That's huge!  When playing on Casual, I've lost to people rated well below me and never lost more than 200 or so points.  Now my Pro ranking is in the gutter and I'll probably get kicked from every game I try to join.  WTF?

Is there something I'm misunderstanding here?

Introductions / Hello from a Returning Newb!

Hey all.  I've fallen off the face of the Dominion world, but am hoping to make a return.  I live in NYC, and will probably be buying all the virtual cards soon.  Don't have a huge community of gamers here, so I may forgo the physical cards.

Some questions, since the world of Dominion has changed so much.  I'm sure the answers are somewhere on this board, and I'll find them eventually, but extra guidance is helpful.

I've read up on the Dark Ages stuff (but have yet to play with it)...when is Guilds being released?  Any solid date?  All I can find is Spring 2013, which is NOW.

PlayDominion.com.  I like it, but I've got some issues with the interface.  First, I'd like to edit my profile because I logged in via Facebook, and I don't really want to play under my real name.  How do I go about switching that, or perhaps switching my avatar.

Also, what's the best/cheapest way to buy all the expansions.  How many Goko $ (or whatever they're called) am I gonna need?

Finally, and NYC area community for Dominion?  It's been ages since I've played a live game, and I'd like to!

Thanks!

Thanks, guys.  This is what we ended up doing.  Glad to know I was on track.

Rules Questions / Horse Traders Question
« on: September 29, 2011, 08:10:27 pm »
I ran into this a couple days ago while playing with some friends and the actual physical cards.  If you don't have two cards to discard for Horse Traders, can you play it?  The rules booklet didn't seem to have anything to say about that.  I ended up saying that you could (the guy was so pathetically behind, it didn't matter) but I wasn't sure.
