BETA Games Are Open For The Holidays!

[engineerairborne]

Couple of other items.

1. https://www.majorcommand.com/new_games/441/ this game will load not load. Also the icon for the game on the tabs is missing.
2. In all browsers I have tried Chrome, Edge and Firefox, the Jump to next gam button does not work.
3. Here is an image of the colors being duplicated,

I have noticed this in classic massive, the others seem to be OK those that I have checked.
4. Also the game listing is not in order of how long left for your turn.

Thanks - We're looking in to it....

You'r right, hortik

Three or more teams would make it a much different game. I hate 3 teams. So when it's all ready I would like to see some 4 team Assassin games if we still have the option of having to kill the whole team and not just the easy target. Great idea. I wish I would come up with a great idea. There is a song called Classic Girl by Jane's Addiction, there is a line in the song where he says. I have such a wonderful girl who comes up with these great ideas and she lets me share them with my friends as if they were my ideas. I don't have the wording exact, but you get the point.

That's the same issue as with the ranks - since the games are not linked to the database, they're kind of standalone games. This means that 'jump to next' won't work, neither would the correct order. But, as Sheriff said, the UI issues are the next step, so that will definitely improve

Gotcha, sorry just wanted to report anything that looked like it would be a bug.

ok, it is very exciting to see a glimpse of this, after all this time of anticipation. i really like these little microimprovements: the more detailed info in the record tab, the highlighting of who is next to play in the games tab, the ability to hide inactive players, the ability to highlight territories in respect to the cards you are holding.. great stuff, & there might be more i am still missing.
speed is great for sure, but overall experience seems a bit shaky. i do have to reload the screen sometimes before being able to do anything, and i get occasional connection loss messages or flickers while throwing dice. but i might also feel a bit torn about the speed in itself: before i came to this site & tried other digital iterations of risk, there usually used to be some kind of animation for the dice throw - silly things like horsemen or cannons approaching each other. but it gave the moment of attack some kind of (ridiculous) epic depth. i always found those animations annoying, but the time it takes the current engine to produce the results of an attack, seems to create its own natural and suspenseful delay - like there is something actually happening during the encounter of good dice vs evil dice. i like that. but i really dont know what i am saying with this, surely the benefits of the improved speed outweigh this loss (?) substantially, and i really dont want to see horsemen and cannons. maybe feeling nostalgic already i suppose.
thank you in any case for sharing the current state of this!

"Yes, Flash will no longer be used on this site - everything will be migrated to HTML5. You should be able to play BETA on all phones and mobile devices, as well as across all browsers and platforms" - NewSheriffInTown

To me this one enhancement is a major game changer.

I know I came close to quitting MajorCommand altogether in the early days until I figured out how to work around the flash issue. I know a couple of people who I talked into playing who dropped out because of the flash problem.

I'm guessing that you'll see a lot fewer newbies go awol and more newbies stay on once the beta becomes the new format - and that should be good news for everyone.

I know this wont add anything to the discussion, but I smiled when reading this. Guess made me smile because unconsciously I must feel the same.

Anyhow, I clearly prefer to play with the speed of the new game engine

Initial impression > blazing fast and loads without the 'Flash needed' message

Am I missing something? Load times are incredibly long for me. I usually play on Chrome. I'm trying it now on IE and Firefox to compare.
Could my experience of slow loading be a settings issue on my end?

 

[SgtPatton]

BearNecessities, the Beta load does takes longer but for me it is worth it not to have the toxic flash issue. once the game is loaded it runs very fast.

I've played the beta on the Chrome and the Microsoft Edge Browser, both work well for me. Other than 'no points' for playing I much prefer the Beta version for game play and am looking forward to it becoming the standard as the bugs are worked out and all the features are activated.

the missed turn only shows current missed turns. I hope they're going to change that again (maybe with the current ones in brackets?)

just checking in to report my experience.
i play on safari on mac and puffin on iphone.
at first everything was a little glitchy and judderry but incredible fast

then the maps stopped loading and now the games list doesn’t load at all and i haven’t been able to take a turn in a couple days

if i have time on weekend i’ll try on linux and windows to see if any different

 

[SgtPatton]

slow to low on pc, so slow to load on my tablet and phone that I usually get a 'no connection' error message.

Once loaded it is :evil: BLAZING :evil: fast

and I love the new feature of being able to review moves and hover over the tert name in the review and have that tert highlighted on the map * AWESOME * sooooo handy on maps where I haven't a clue where that tert is - this one new feature will save me time and frustration at critical points in a match

 

[Sebrim]

I repeat: don't try the new engine on Puffin. I use Chrome and ha ve no loading issues (except on Duck-n-Cover

I joined my first beta game, as others stated the chat doesn't seem to work.
I joined an assasin game, i never played assasin before, basicly i have to kill the person that i got wispered and no one else knows who i have to kill?
I figured beta games are a good way to learn some settings i never played before
The game loaded insanely fast for me on chrome.
