iOS Online Boardgaming Megathread (Carcassonne, Everything Playdek, & Many More)

I'm getting constant crashing in Summoner Wars when I try to do deck customization. Random crashing at other times, but not when I'm playing. I do notice I can't connect to the servers a LOT. Although I'm also having problems connecting to the Ascension servers now too. I'm wondering if Playdek is getting hammered.

  4. *Yaboosh | Yaboosh (1378) (awaiting result of 3rd place match)
  5. mikeworks | mikeworks (1690)
  6. Vard | gamecentrist (1418)
  7. chicobalay | chicobalay (1403)
  8. soldat7 | soldat7 (1384)
  9. AirBrian | AirBrian (1372)

As it stands now the lowest seeds will play each other in the first round then everyone will throw down from there. Double elimination allows everyone a second chance to win their way back to the top. :)

If you want to play give me name, GC name, and ELO like this:

Does it matter if ELO has changed since I handed in my entry form.
It went up a bit (1265) but it is bound to go down again soon

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Playdek is back at work and they're looking into both people being unable to play online and -drumroll- people being unable to buy/download the app.

Still no Summoner Wars for me. :(

I'd say feel free to update the ELO until the brackets are locked in. It'd be no different than waiting until the last minute to sign up.
 
Played the Summoner Wars tutorial. Really great. I've been wanting to play this for a while in real life, but I'm almost never in a situation to play a game with just one other person.

We need to have a Carc match again sometime. Was TM the 3rd or Smiley? Can't remember.

No idea, but I'm down.

Also, playdek confirmed on facebook that the downloading/purchasing problems are apple-sided like assumed, so there's nothing they can do but hope and wait :(

I'm at work right now but I fully expect invites from ALL OF YOU GUYS. Once I'm out I'll play. Have all factions.


Nvm IAP still doesn't work -.-

You probably might be able to get in it now.

Maybe

I think I love you. I'll have to find a way to explain this to my girlfriend, but... Yeah.

Anyway, sending out invites to everyone, those who didn't get one from me pleas add me under smiley1790. I randomed ALL my faction choices so I'll most likely loose, since I'll be playing all of them the first time :p

YESSSSSSSSS.

Vanguard are soooo weak. In a game with Blahness now, and I'm losing brutally hard, I just feel like turtling up with my Champion and Healers, because I have no attack. lol. According to ingame-overall faction stats, they're also the faction with the lowest win percentage among all players. I'm not surprised. :D

Yeah I thought I reed they were doing the Master Set, but then... this isn't the master set at all lol. I would've known those better too...

Anyway, there's an SW update with no patch notes in the appstore. lol. Downloading now, probably just some hotfixes.

Is it too late to enter the Carcassonne tourney?

mikeworks | mikeworks (1690)

Of course it's not too late! Welcome! Let me just check how the bracket will look if we don't get any more players...

(this isn't final yet)

Oh... oh noes. :(

Let's lock it down Monday at lunchtime. That'll be about a week total for everyone to jump in. I'll send Heel the bracket info at that point and we'll fire it up. Assuming our last tourney is done by then. :)

Assumption confirmed.

My first impressions of Summoner Wars are very positive. I like Ascension and Nightfall, but their mileage weren't as big as I would've liked. Especially nightfall, since that one isn't a great fit for async, IMO. Summoner Wars might be the first card/board game that really grabs me. It has the stuff I like about card games, plus a more compelling gameplay since turn based tactical games are right up my alley.

That said, I wish Playdek would put more effort in the single-player part of their games. I can't blame then though, since they are providing very faithfull "ports" of the real thing.

So my first match is against Olympic champion Micheal Phelps.

Lol if we don't get any more players, yep looks like it. Hopefully he's not too busy to make his moves.
