Board Game Arena

My friends and I played this game several times turn-based in alpha and enjoyed it. When I went to start a new game, I found it's only available for RT play now. As we are in different timezones, that's not usually possible for us. I see no reason to limit it: it worked perfectly fine TB, and could ...

Have you considered that maybe those changes were a big success, and only a minority of players (those who complain about it in the forums) think otherwise? If the number and vocality of negative reports was the only measure, we'd have to conclude the BGA dice are rigged :D No-one can know for sure...

I agree with many of these issues. My biggest gripe (which applies to most of these and to multiple other quite recent changes) is that there is inadequate consultation (even though there is now a specific group for pre-testing of changes!) among a range of players before changes are implemented, an...

I can understand the ban on submitting moderation reports for those who seem to be wasting moderators' time with multiple trivial rreports, but it would make sense after 4 consecutive dismissed reports to notify the user that a 5th consecutive rejected complaint from them will result in a ban on fut...

Some tournaments are aimed at people in a specific time zone. You could try looking for one with 'on' hours in the US evening and 'off' hours (freezing everyone's clocks) while you sleep, next time. Some tournaments are also quite badly set up, with inexperienced organisers massively underestimating...

What is the maximum number of invitations oere day one alpha reviewer can issue to non-alpha reviewer friends to alpha games? I thought it was 5, but the site seems to be inconsistent about how it counts invitations to a cancelled game. (I have currently only managed to half fill one game I want to ...

You can set the karma minimum to 85% using the old lobby, not the new one.

But a better solution might be to create a HEAT group to which you only invite non-quitters, and restrict all the games you create to this group. You can add me if you like: I like HEAT and never quit anything.

There are so many issues that players have been begging you to address, that apparently you don't have the resources for (from years' old suggestions still unaddressed to fixing the issues with the new games lobby you rushed through), yet you do have the manpower to make largely unwanted changes lik...

I'm not sure you understood the OP's problem @Debora, as your answer doesn't seem to be relevant, I've had the same problem in some games since you made the change to checking: another player claims they ticked all instances of a given answer, but one or two of them appear as unticked at game end. S...

And while it's great that the Sky Team team has been so responsive, shouldn't at least most of those recently-fixed bugs have been caught at the alpha/beta stage? Like some other posters here, I'm happy to trade a few glitches for newness sometimes (and am an alpha reviewer), but I think if BGA is g...
