I have to say, played a lot of games tonight, and within the game, this is pretty playable now that you can turn animations off. Still room for improvement, but acceptable. Outside the game (matchmaking, rankings, crystal ball, etc) is still pretty rough.

(pro-tip - tab opens and closes the chat)

It's still choppy for me, and the application has kind of a grainy look.

Well, it was humming right along for me. Obviously not good that it's still bad for lots of players, but there must be something sorta working now if I'm the lucky bastard with a smooth program.

Maybe I need to get a gaming PC!

Gaming PCs with a lot of power will often manage to power through the unnecessary loops and suboptimal slowness in simple games that -ought- to not require much processing, but do because they are poorly coded.

• I'm sure I'll come up with more crap over time...

You gotta learn how to give proper credit: they are the ones coming up with the crap; you're just reporting it.

So, uh.. is it just me, or should the buttons for making selections (Hamlet) be in a different place than the buttons for ending a particular phase?

That has been a problem with Goko since 2012.

Thank goodness they fixed that when they re-wrote the code from scratch.

Next step: They change it.

Right...?

Are there more people who experience terrible lag right now?

I keep on getting disconnected and stuff. Can't even get two turns in.

I have played a game now and it was ok.

I had some trouble today as well. Can't tell whether it's MF or my internet connection, though

[Awaclus]

I was unable to login this morning, been working fine later though. I'm pretty sure it was MF and not my connection this time.

[iguanaiguana]

Pretty excited that I was able to log in and play a few games on their web alpha today. Looks like they actually are working on things

Anyone notice that Adventures is listed on the possible sets, but grayed out?

Hmm... I remember a while ago, they were thinking December. Donald X. is now saying they are aiming for January. And, I recall a few months ago they thought they could have Adventures out by September.

It will be exciting to see what will come out first: Adventures on Goko or The Winds of Winter.

Dude... I figured it out.  Development for Dominion Online  is taking so long because they've contracted George R R Martin to comment the code.

I will be shocked if Winds of Winter releases first.

I will be shocked if George R. R. Martin finishes that series before he dies.

I don't know if you guys have played the new version yet, but the log is readable, matchmaking actually works, the fastest setting is the quickest official Dominion implementation since the days of Isotropic, and in general I'm really quite satisfied with the new client.

Do you know cool it is for your opponent to overpay for Masterpiece and you don't have to see even a single Silver animate?

All that sounds good. On the other hand, this is the first version I can't use at all. I just get a big black window. Oh well.

Please go yell at MF on their forums so they can fix it.

Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I did that with an earlier version, and it worked again for me.

[nate_w]

Still things to be worked out, but overall I'm pretty impressed with the continued improvement.  Things I like:

- The rematch option is pretty nice.

- The one player option is marginally more interesting

- The way it runs for me is already as good as goko.

After a fundamental rewrite taking well over a year, that's certainly an impressive accomplishment.

Unfortunately the new version of Dominion isn't working for me - and the MF forums aren't working for me either - so I can't even go in their forums and tell them how annoyed I am that I can't play the game I paid for (admittedly I did pay the last bunch of incompetents rather than this bunch of incompetents). When I try to log in to the MF forums it doesn't recognise my log in details - but if I try to reregister the website says my e-mail is already a registered user. It then asks me if I'd like my log in details / password sent to my e-mail - I say "yes" - and no e-mail from them ever turns up. I've been through the process a few times. And no the e-mails aren't in my spam folder.

[Elanchana]

Totally digging the player count in the seek window. Now the wait time makes more sense.

[Infthitbox]

Yeah, this version works much, much better than previous versions for me. I never had too much trouble with performance, as my computer is pretty overpowered for something like Dominion. I really do like the speed of animation improvements, and adding the total number of players/games/seeks to the matchmaking screen is a nice, small improvement that makes sitting and waiting slightly less annoying.

[Chris is me]

For me the game is definitely much better than Goko at this point. I can finish a game super quickly now. There are plenty of annoyances, but with MMF installed they are mostly negated and I'm just so much more efficient with my time now. If only MF would just contract out some code to SCSN we could get the improvements in the official implementation!

To celebrate / indicate my approval / whatever, I finally bought the remaining promos I didn't own yet. Hooray Walled Village, Prince, Black Market!!!
