Board Game Arena

This one has been on the site for ages. Not sure what’s new about it? There’s plenty of better places to play this sort of game, it’s not why I come to bga at least.

Some further research in case it's useful for anyone in the future: At the bottom of the Notify section of https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Main_game_logic:_Game.php#Notifications, it says: Important: If both public and private notifications are sent to the same player in the same action (AJAX call...

Thanks for sharing, that knowledge is really helpful actually.

I will take a look at how some other games use public and private notifications with that in mind and work out how to minimise the impact.

I have an interesting one that I'm a bit stuck on! I am trying to work out what caused this bug https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=147610, so that I can stop it happening. The bug is that when the game is refreshed (most noticeable in turn based mode) the logs are showing out of order: imgur.com/a/LR...

I think the easiest way for me to solve this is by grouping notifications together, rather than firing multiple notifications off in a short space of time. Hopefully this doesn't impact the gameplay too much.

I would still be keen to hear potential ideas/solutions from the community here.

Bumping this up to check to see if anyone has any good ideas for solutions on this, as it's still an issue. I'm working on a premium game, where the turn based game is currently close to unplayable because of notifications showing as in the correct order. I've only been able to come up with rubbish ...

Unfortunately there are some issues behind the scenes, we will just have to watch this space for now.

Any ongoing games will be able to continue until completed.

It also varies with time for the same game, as the number of players increases. When I got my first group of "Top N" awards for Space Base, "Top 5" got me 600 XP. When "Top 20" was added to the game, two months later, it got me 750 XP. It looks very odd in my trophy ca...

Yeah some of the decisions the dev team have taken on this are a little disappointing in my opinion. It would work fine implemented in a similar way to Catan trading, with game options to either alert every time a mirror is available, and preferences to only alert when it is your turn, or alert ever...

What is the logic for the amount of XP awarded for awards for each game? I notice the following: For 1st win at Splendor, I get 8xp For 1st win at Splendor Duel, I get 15xp For 1st win at Exploding Kittens, I get 4xp Sorry if it has been asked before, searching proved difficult as "xp" is ...
