Any thoughts on when the History will be available in the new Player?

This will be a while - I've not really started on it yet.

no, refreshing does not fix it. i'll make some moves and leave a couple in the fortify phase here in a few mins.

edit - hmmm it seems to be working for the moment. i'll get back to you on this one.

am seeing some fill issues on Kjeld's Total Wargear board: http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/145544

also seeing fill issues on Cramchackle's War board: http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/147334

am seeing a missing piece of code that limits the amount of transfers to a conquered territory if there's a max limit on said territory (http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/145155). it's allowing me to try to fill a plant with more than it can hold and then throws an error that i can't do that. needs to limit my choice to what's actually available.

cards are listed in the info pane by A,B,C; but with the card window open it's still arranged in collected order.

and matching set doesn't turn the card button green.

I am not a huge fan of how everything looks like it is just another turn.  Right now I feel as if playing the new interface is hindering me vs people vs the old  interface.  I may be the only persona that feels that way, but I am taking turns with the old interface when I care about the outcome (might win) much more often than when it is a a standard "turn" or when I am just trying to progress the game.  At this stage I see that as a fault in the player when I would normally think of it as a fault in my play.  Oh, I think we should term this "Not Risky" or NR Play.

P.S..  I kidding about that last part but I'm totally serious about the other stuff.

Not sure what you mean by this Risky?

noticed today that the blue coloring of the cards button turns back to its normal blackish coloring when there's a set..

here's a released board where i have been able to fortify 2/3, but can't fortify the third time: http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/144477

here's a released board where i can't fortify at all:
http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/146888

here's a couple DEV boards i can't fortify at all:
http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/142463
http://www.wargear.net/games/playerjs/144170


not sure why i can fortify on some and not others.

let me know when you look at it so i can complete my turn, thx

Thanks - it was a bug specific to boards with fortify to connected territories enabled. You can go ahead and take your turn now.

Thanks - I've got a backup of the game state so you can go ahead and take your turn.

with the toolbar in the upper right, can we reorder them to make a bit more sense from a usability standpoint?

assuming refresh and help stay where they are - board explorer is one of the more likely reasons to use the toolbar, so should be first, followed by history (tho these two could likely be swapped). territories and continents should be next to each other, followed by rules. luck should be last.

Yeah, I don't know how to describe it because I think it's more of a feeling (when I hear that old song they used to play).  The blue or pink color change for the cards doesn't seem as dramatic as the change to the Green from the old player.  I end up missing cards when I have a match because the blue telling me that I have a set looks like it's just regular.  Yes, I understand that it's because this is new and I'm not used to it, but it's been a week and I'm still having this issue.  It may be because I fear change and maybe nobody else is having this problem, but that is part of my feedback.

In general I agree with Risky that the new interface doesn't "pop" the same way that the flash player did (which I guess is why it's called "flash"!). It's small little things like the particular shade of pink or blue, but it makes a difference in the overall look of it. I think one fairly easy adjustment would be to increase the contrast on some of the elements. For example, the play buttons at the top could have a higher contrast between the background gray and the type-face. I think going back to the flash-player style of a lighter gray button and a solid black text might work best (to contrast with the dark gray background of the site).

Give it a drop shadow :)

Needs more lens flare!

I love lamp!!

If you need someone to test on Mac / Safari I can do that.  Let me know.

OK fair comment - these things are pretty easy to fix.

Re: the toolbar buttons on the top right - is the order proposed by weathertop the general consensus?
