Board Game Arena

many thanks to the dev of Hive for adding the move confirmation. no more misclick losses !!

IN YOUR OPINION

senatorhung, ignore intrepid. His last 10 posts or something have just been that same comment. Essentially a troll.

But yeah, I love the Hive move confirmation! I wouldn't mind it being more consistent in the interface, for example there's no confirmation when you're placing a new piece... only moving. Might be nice to have it in both situations.

Yes a very good first step, but placement really needs it as well (if anything it is more important for placement). Also, I wish they would fix the Mosquito/Pillbug move rules bug: http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!bug?id=3419

It would be very nice to be able to play someday with no possibility of misclicks or cheating moves. But I will take what I can get, baby steps...

Well if I remember correctly (and I just checked, so I do) you got developer access to Hive on the studio months ago... so you're welcome to help us make bigger (even gigantic) steps

I will refresh my javascript skills and do some work for you as soon as you cut me a check. I may do it someday anyway, but if the site were free for everyone, I'd feel less like you guys get to profit off my work with no compensation for me.

If I ever do actually do dev work, I will feel like I'm being ripped off if I wanted to pay for membership after... I mean, if I have to use my time to make the site work for me, what the heck am I paying for?

Therefore, for now, I will not develop because it is not worth my time to relearn javascript syntax only to help you guys, and I want to have the option to purchase a membership without feeling like a sucker. Maybe in the future...

I don't know how many times I have been sitting, waiting for my opponent to move while they are in fact waiting for me to confirm my move. I think the inconsistency between placement and moving is a big part of this. Either they both should require confirmation or neither should require it.

Frank.
