Thank you ā¦ will accept the invite tonight. I went to my Asmodee account to add you to my buddy list so thanks for the tip to use the TTR app.
Iām up for a game too, JS619 on Asmodee as well. @Pitta and I are kind of fingerfucking our way through one now, but the more the merrierā¦
Iāll be curious if you actually have an invite to accept. Iāve logged back into the app and there is no indication Iāve sent out an invite. You actually should see 2 since I resent one using @Baelnor ās new username
Sounds like we have some good feedback already for the betaā¦
When I fired up the app I was shown an invite from you which I accepted. It said waiting for a third player. I was then shown a invite full of null info so I quit the app and restarted. I then saw another invite which (probably unwisely) I declined. Now I donāt know if I accepted the correct invite. I canāt see a game listed but probably it wonāt be visible until the third player accepts.
If @Baelnor has already accepted the correct invite then I have definitely accepted the wrong one ā¦ and apologies from me ā¦ it looks like we need another go at it.
No more keys availableā¦
I have nothing inside the app showing anything. I did receive a notification on my iOS home screen when I woke up, but nothing inside.
New invite?
Seen and accepted ā¦ thank you!
Accepted and in, corporation picked and everything!
Maybe if interest, surprise release of Steam Link.
Steam Link di Valve
Playing through Steam Link is a little awkward for meāif Iām on the same network as my computer, Iād probably just play on that most of the time. Donāt see a ton of benefit in streaming to a smaller screen.
I see more use streaming to my smart TV. Donāt think Iād ever use this on mobile.
Since I donāt own a Steamlink, I was wondering if I could use this to stream from my PC to my Phone, and then use a SmartTV app to then just throw that feed up onto my TV. My Wireless card on my PC doesnāt have 5G though for some reason so I need a new wireless card before I can try it.
Going back briefly to the Terraforming Mars discussion, can I just say that it works very well on the iPhone (or at least the iPhone X)?
I can?
Cool.
It does.
So theyāve long ago addressed most of the big issues plaguing the initial Steam release?
I canāt say that. LOL
I donāt know the game well enough to talk about some of the bugs that Iāve seen mentioned.
But I havenāt had any game-breaking ones so far.
Yes. Iāve been playing the mobile version since Gen Con and itās improved by leaps and bounds, mostly in the last 1-2 months. Gameplay is smooth as butter and I havenāt had a crash in ages. I also havenāt noticed any rules/game bugs. Iāve played the physical copy a bunch, too, but I also kind of check out when itās my opponentās turn and assume that things are being handled the correct way. Itās possible Iām missing a misplayed rule here or there, but they arenāt happening on my turns.
The game isnāt perfect. Actually, I should say the game is nearly perfect, but the app has some weird design issues. For example, Iām in a three player online game now and I have no idea whoās who. Player names donāt appear in the game, so all I know is that Iām playing against red and blue, unsure which player is @js619 and which isā¦whomever the other player is. It doesnāt say.
Itās also a bit clunky to see the board state during setup. Youāre dealt 10 cards and need to pick which ones you want to buy. Many cards have limits on when they can be built. For example, the oxygen needs to be higher than 5%. Unless you have the oxygen meter and thermometer memorized, itās hard to know to keep these cards. I mean, I donāt remember if 5% O2 is near the bottom of the meter, and might trigger soon, or up at the top. You canāt see either right now.
So, it still needs a bit of tweakingā¦the stuff in the above paragraph feels like it was designed by someone unfamiliar with the physical game, whereas the gameplay itself feels like it was crafted by people who love the game.
Even with the issues itās still one of my favorite board game ports, and shines on the iPhone and iPad.
