My point: what turns up in uniform random matters.I have tried to balance the expansions such that pure random works reasonably well with any mix of expansions a person might have. The promos are not factored into this.
"Good enough." The relative quality of Walled Village was unlikely to be a criteria here. Easy enough, that's what it was.But it was good enough to be programmed and added before 70 cards that did make it into expansions.Obviously false.
In what way? Walled Village is available. The cards in Alchemy, Cornucopia, and Hinterlands, and 2/3 of the Dark Ages card, are unavailable.
Not everyone with a Goko account can get the card without having/creating an account at a different site that has absolutely nothing to do with Goko or Dominion. This limits access.It sounds restrictive when you don't mention that it's Google. Only people with internet access can get digital Walled Village. That's also a restriction.
But it was good enough to be programmed and added before 70 cards that did make it into expansions.Obviously false.
The problem is limited access. Some people just plain won't be able to get the card. And that's wrong.Everyone with internet access can have it. You say false things.
Well, what's the difference between "individual Dominion expansion" or "Complete Expansion"? I would expect that if you paid for anything, including a partial expansion (which is only partial compared to the physical sets; they might consider them "complete" for Goko), ads would be gone.It sounds like this is a bug, that Parade of Misfits should count but doesn't. Obv. it should count.
Do you have a contact @ google to complain to? I assume that goko does.dude have you tried
DG, we're only allowed to be complaining about crap that can be changed (...?), not crap that can't be changed! Donald himself said so.Hi Fabian.
It's bad customer service to tie customers into providers that they don't want to use.I don't have the answers to these or any other such questions.
Will the web adverts on Goko be provided by any chance by Google? Will the use of a google id for customer accounts be used for targeted advertising, by any chance?
(I haven't seen adverts in Goko Dominion but I have seen adverts elsewhere in the Goko beta)
We saw Dominion in action at Google i/o and have been participating in the closed beta on the web since; the game is a standard take on the original board game with support for up to four players, but can utilize the technology of Google Hangouts so users can see each other while they play.And to rephrase that: Dominion will be playable on Google, whatever that means exactly, you know, and it will be playable in Google Hangouts, whatever that means.
So will this mean that perhaps other promo cards will require other accounts? If Envoy requires Yahoo, does that mean you won't be able to own both Envoy and Walled Village on the same account? Or can you sign in under both?No other existing things have such requirements. As always I am trying to be precise here. I know of no plans to make a new campaign and tie it to Yahoo, or any other such random thing I couldn't possibly anticipate. No such thing will exist at re-launch, because I would know about it already. And I wouldn't agree to tie whatever to Hinterlands etc.
If nothing else, this is yet more impetus for me to create an email account specifically for interacting with Goko. Can't be too careful.
In general, I agree that it's ridiculous, and sets a bad precedent. Will I not be able to buy Hinterlands without a specific type of login?
Or - I could complain it on the internet, hope that other people do the same, and maybe the company will change its behavior as a response to consumer feedback.Given that they actually named Google there, I think a change is very unlikely. I think Google is who you have to convince at this point.
I may be in the minority here, but I'm perfectly fine with implementing reactions so you can only reveal each one once. The only time it matters is in the moat/SC edge case, and I think the huge amount of simplicity you gain is worth that one in a million time when it might actually matter.Well and in the Moat / Secret Chamber case, it only matters in the Throne Room etc. sense - nothing is keeping you honest, but if it really mattered in say a tournament then someone could come over and watch to make sure you were honest.
I'm opposed to being forced to log in with my google id.Well you can make a new google account pretty quickly, and use that one. It will come in handy later when you want to be anonymous somewhere.
It might cost you (being the collective of Goko / RGG / DXV) some fans?I don't follow you. Are you morally opposed to Google? You spend a few seconds on Google and you're done. Personally I am on multiple Google sites every day.
This is not true. You can reveal an unlimited number of Reactions an unlimited number of times for the same event. Go try it out on Isotropic. What is true is that all Reactions except Secret Chamber are designed to have no net effect on the game beyond the first reveal. Secret Chamber is an exception in that you can reveal it to draw, for example, a Moat, reveal the Moat, and then reveal Secret Chamber again to return the Moat to the top of your deck.I am flirting with changing this for goko. You have to be able to reveal that Moat that wasn't in your hand if you get it via Secret Chamber, because that's in the rulebook, but you don't have to be able to reveal the same Moat more than once - that's not in a rulebook (if it is plz find and post).
The first one is Poor House.Quote from: Donald X.$2; Future1, a card that's in a later set now. Already I'm not telling you things.
That Herbalist again?Quote from: Donald X.$3; Pre-Worker's Village: +1 card/+1 act/+1 buy. This is an obvious simple card that bounced around a little before vanishing. For a while I thought it would end up somewhere, but at this point I think it pretty much has to have another ability spicing it up. Worker's Village itself is a simple way to spice it up and that's what happened here.
Market Square!Quote from: Donald X.- $3; Loan. $1, "When you spend this, trash another treasure spent with it."
Looks like that turned into Counterfeit.
I'm going to guess that Procession was one of those Golems.It wasn't, Procession was based on an Alchemy card, but that card was a full-set Alchemy card that I didn't playtest for the small set at all. It was play an action, trash it, gain an action costing up to $2 or $P more, play it.
What was the other Herbalist?You will have to wait a little longer for that story.
So what was this card that Treasury replaced, and have we seen it yet?Stash.
What opening split did you get?3/3 via using one zap to give myself a Silver (the others downgrading Provinces obv). I opened Trade Route / Loan.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd like a single player mode that is just basically pre-designed solo challenges. Stuff like "get 8 Provinces within 15 turns using this kingdom." It does take a little bit out of it in that you're not competing against something dynamic (that, and Attack cards are kind of useless), but come on, you were competing against a bot anyway.I think something like this may happen.
It saddens me that this is the only way (that we know of) to get the promo cards.My understanding is that the other method (besides buying them) involves doing well in tournaments. I don't have any idea how easy they'll be to come by via that route. I was certainly expecting that winning a set's campaigns would be enough to get you a promo.
Why has no one talked about Dominion base Act 2, where the first opponent has 3 provinces at the start and you have 3 curses. I did gardens and came 1 point from winning the first time and never got close again. That is just a cruel way to have an adventure game.I would not try those levels with no zaps. You get free zaps though, usually five. Just click on cards to zap them. It's a decision as to what to zap - although using three on Provinces is mostly automatic. At first I was upset by it, but I mean, in the end it's a variant and there's nothing especially wrong with it.
And this is different from the Noble Brigand case where you could choose between simultanous triggers, one of which affected others, because the trigger for Moat is not a card that 'belongs' to you?I don't want to just say yes because I want to be accurate and don't want to have to focus too much on your exact words. Someone complained once about me not just saying "yes" and well there's my explanation for not doing so.
So, each time a trigger happens, you resolve any effects that relate to you (such as the urchin trashing or the embargo token cursing), then each other player in turn resolve any effects that relate to them (such as reactions). But because 'resolve the when-gain effect of the card you just bought' is considered to relate to the buyer, the buyer of an embargoed Noble Brigand can choose to resolve that effect first. Did I get that right?
