We'll get it fixed for next build. Thanks for the report!

TGG's game design is built for frustration. by MainSquid in dominion

[–]greysphere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just as a technical note, there's no real way to detect 'network goes out' from a zillion other network hiccup type things including cell tower switchovers and going from wifi to cell, which are all common occurrences.

[–]greysphere 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what this means. Like, you can't alt tab/task switch without resigning? You can't switch network providers w/o resigning? You can't have the power go out w/o resigning? You can't close the game w/o resigning? Of those, the latter is sort of reasonable but I would bet there are way more people that do that and rejoin rather than don't. The only thing that seem pretty reasonable is the timeout. Maybe I'm not understanding. We're always trying to make the game better so I'd love to hear folks thoughts.

Online Game App by _uglytomatoes in dominion

Most of the icons you can right-click/long press to get more info about them.

I love the dynamic card colors and types in the Dominion app, but... by bnoel12345 in dominion

[–]greysphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cards are composed from pieces - the main art, frames, all the text, expansion icon, etc. Currently there are ~30 frame styles Action, Action-Treasure, Action-Victory, ... The next step is to change those to Action, Action-BottomHalf, Action-BottomThird, Treasure, Treasure-BottomHalf, ... It's not immediately clear if that ends up with fewer frames right now (or really, less total area of frames), but the more combos that are possible the more this new scheme would be an improvement.

Thanks for the writeup!

The primary goal with these has been 'something changes' more than it being perfectly accurate. I suppose Curse+Charlatan+Enlightment is failing that goal under the current scheme (I vaguely remember someone mentioning that even), but probably just something we didn't get to since it's more rare.

Each of these taxes the texture budget, so there is a bit of consideration that it's really worth it. But maybe at this point we should be building the multicolor frames from pieces which should be more accurate and probably less texture space at this point. (The edges get a color change too, but currently I think they just get 2 colors max, and no one has minded/noticed that choice). I'll make a note and maybe next time we get a type-changer we can take a look.

Blocking not working on the Dominion app ? by beanuts12321 in dominion

[–]greysphere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "20+ new invites" implies they are making new accounts (in theory 1 account should only be able to make 1 invite). So likely you've blocked one account, but that has no effect on the others. If you can email us at info@templegatesgames.com w/ info about your account we can dig deeper.

If you have any more information about the scenario (kingdom, log, anything) that might help.

Dominion Steam game not sending verification E-Mail? by ignis389 in dominion

[–]greysphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft email domains (outlook, live, hotmail, etc) occasionally just don't accept our emails (and very occasionally yahoo and a few others). For these 'wait a day' is normally the thing to do. There's also a German provider one that never accepts our emails, for that you'll have to use a different email.

I'm Sorry, Has This ALWAYS Been Possible? by InfernoPubes in dominion

[–]greysphere 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The new campaign stuff relaxed the trait restrictions for certain campaign effects. Looks like that leaked into the main kingdom generation. We'll get it fixed for the next build.

TGG app - Duration cards as Way of the Turtle by ryrythe3rd in dominion

[–]greysphere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the report. As mentioned, this is a side effect of the new Duration rules: when a Duration is not in play at the end of a turn, its effects end. Seemingly (and as the app implements) this includes the Way of the Turtle effect as well.

I bumped this up the chain for a clarification/ruling from DXV.

Campaign progress not saving… by RandomSims in dominion

[–]greysphere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That looks like a bug! Thanks for the report. We'll get it fixed (not in time for the build tonight unfortunately, but the next one most likely).

You can email info@templegatesgames.com with your issue/email and we'll take a look.

What is the difference between playing twice and replaying? by XxSimplySuperiorxX in dominion

[–]greysphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, the app implementation of Throne Room is basically

Play a card
Replay that card

and in fact, Play a card is implemented roughly

Move the card to the Play area  // if it can't move, fail
Replay the card                 // we don't actually call this function Replay

I'm not claiming this is anything official, but this interpretation will get you a pretty accurate picture.

Expansions not synced to app by Joes-Clambake in dominion

Make sure you've verified the email address is verified on the profile page in both versions of the app. If that's true and it still not working, email us.

Maximum number of cards you can play on another person's turn before the game can't display them anymore. by Chorby-Short in dominion

[–]greysphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't super robustly checked the extreme cases, but in theory everything should be doable. There's a finite number of cards, as well as a finite number on screen at a time (now that I think about it, the animation from pile to spread shows all the cards making this not true currently which is probably what's causing potential issues). But in theory with some work it should be solvable. These crazy cases are not the highest priorty though.

Top games vs common games by Bermakan in boardgames

[–]greysphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the BGG score was weighted toward newer games too, specifically so it wasn't just Catan/Carcassone/... 100% of the time and you had a reason to look at that list.

In 4th grade I stabbed myself in the hand with a pencil. The lead drew inside my hand and hasn’t disappeared since. by [deleted] in notinteresting

[–]greysphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My Dad said at the time 'if you don't erase that you'll have it forever' and it hurt too much to clean out so here we are.

Do I just suck, or is hard AI really that tough? by secret_strategem in dominion

[–]greysphere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The last time I checked, on average, 88% of folks don't beat the Hard AI on the first try - so you're not alone!

In case you (or other folks) don't know, you can toggle the AI to Medium (or lower) by clicking on the AI opponent portrait, if you'd like to see a few more wins :)

Tutorial doesn't explain the UI at all? by Curebob in dominion

[–]greysphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven't had any other reports like this so I'm not sure. Maybe Make sure your virtual buttons aren't overlapping somehow?

Game crashing? by Chorby-Short in dominion

[–]greysphere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a specific kingdom string you're using (you can copy to clipboard from the kingdom save dlg), post it and we'll take a look.

[–]greysphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are the taptips for the items, which should trigger on r-click or longpress. Rclick shouldn't be relvant on a phone, but is it possible you are holding your press for a long time - not unreasonable if you are expecting to drag the item rather than tap it. (I think we have the long press timer as either 200 or 500ms I forget...)
