    Again. I killed a monster and ended my turn with an opponent offline and he got one honor. He did no move, he had no special construct.
    I have seen too many of these weir things (like pattern in the way cards alternate, sudden honors, connection glitches and people changing moves, etc.).

    Was not like this before the expansion.

    Really?

    I've never noticed mysterious honor. Always plays out just fine.

    The connection glitches do happen sometimes though, but that's because of faulty internet connection not a game design flaw.

    Send me your GC name and your opponent's GC name for the "sudden honor" game and I'll take a quick look to see what's going on.

    "Pattern in the way cards alternate"?
    "People changing moves"?
    Could you explain further please? We're well over half a million games played on our server now, and this is the first I've heard of anything like this.

    Thanks.

    A bug I have seen happen a few times is that I'll be taking my turn and then get disconnected. Usually when this happens, when I go back in it replays my turn up to where I left off, but instead it just starts over from scratch, and the deck is still the same. I could even do something completely different if I wanted to, taking advantage of knowledge of what cards were drawn before because they are drawn again, though I haven't done that. I just replayed just as I had before.

    New Ascension player here.
    Bought 2 days ago the game (HEARTLY sponsored by some dear friends of mine)...basically my real life ended there and it took over my regular games of Carcassonne and other single player games I was playing.
    Already bought the expansion (only today because of IAPs server problems).
    I can't have anything done....game is that awesome.
    Never played a deck building game before (only MTG) and I'm having a blast.
    I like the fact that the games are fast, always on equal basis, I like the art, the music...almost everything is perfect.

    If I may, I feel some things missing...I won't read all the huge thread and probably they are already stated but...

    1) Ingame chat.
    2) Multitask.
    3) Being able to see the name of the opponent when Ascension send the notification that's your turn.

    1) is imho fundamental.
    It's much more fundamental because of the lack of multitask...the game is fast loading...but going back and forth to a chat program and seeing everytime the main screen, tap online games, tap game list...is too tedious.
    You should at least put the online active games button on the main screen, saving a tap...every seconds counts...yes I'm that addicted.

    Just my two cents, I'll look forward every update and expansion of the game; thanks for making it!!!

    I'd like those too. I think most would. In-game chat works quite well in Carcassonne, so they just need to copy that method. Also agree about notifications showing which game it is a notification for. I really wish it did that too. And of course multitasking.

    Yeah, in game chat is a must. I wonder if they have any plans to add this feature.

    That was my one disappointment with the update that added the expansion, but truth-be-told I'd wanted the expansion ASAP so I guess it makes sense that other changes would come later. Better that then have the first expansion come later. But I don't think they've ever said we'd get in-game chat, so I guess it's not a given that we will. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    I'm sorry.... But let's keep playing. It's fun playing with all the regulars here and new players I've met as well...

    Yep, I've seen that too. I think what's happening there is that you actually were disconnected before the game said you were, but it took a bit of time for the game to realize it. Once it realizes it, it resets you back to when you actually were disconnected (or rather the last point you were connected).

    Finally got around to picking up Ascension (and expansion), and am absolutely loving it. There's some mechanics here that I haven't quite wrapped my head around yet, and it's quite different from other card games I've played in the past.

    I'm definitely up for some multiplayer matches if anyone wants to add me ( StriveMind ) but timing will have to be 1day+, although likely I'll play a lot faster than that.

    Sorry for what? And for what it is worth, your turn awaits...

    Guys and gals, I am rotating most of my opponents, everyone should deserve a chance to beat me while I limit my focus. And when my invitation shows up, please consider.

    So,,,,

    Occasionally I see a blue triangle on a card or two, throw the dog a bone. What does it mean?

    Looking for players MLKeener on gamecenter

    As you aware that some Mechna constructs give runes for acquiring only other Mechna constructs, some cards have the ability to use these additional rune points for acquiring constructs other than Mechna as well. So those eligible cards to be acquired have small blue triangles on them.
