Why not add another checkbox in the Game finder?

"Waiting for 1 player" could come in handy in one or both of the following cases.
If you want to join, let's say, a six-player game, you go to Game Finder and check 'waiting for players' and '6'. But there will be pages of results where only the game creator is the first player and noone else has joined in yet. I never join those: if you wish to play people around your own rank, you don't want to risk 4 cooks or 4 captains joining in behind you... If you're the last one to join, you know who you're gonna play.
Second: if you're no premium, you don't want to wait for 4 other players to join before the game starts. If you join in last, you're off...

(I hope this question wasn't asked before, I didn't feel like checking 86 pages of topics...)

It has been but still needs to be implemented

saaimen · Post by **saaimen** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 9:28 am

oh, nice

so my idea wasn't that bad

This has also been rejected many times before. We want older games to fill up first so that they don't clog the join pages.

but it often seems like people don't start the 1 game they want to play, they start 4 or 5 identical games... it's probably those that fill up the list... so the waiting for 1 player checkbox has no future then

?

<Awaiting how many players option>:

* Concise Idea

The idea is for there to be a Awaiting how many players option when searching for games

<Body>:

I think this is needed because quite often i am looking for a game whcih i can get started on straight away, but am quite picky at what it is. So i would want to find all games with only 1 player more needed which match my criteria for game type etc.

what do you think?

Actually, I really like this idea. It's good, useful, and worth the effort to implement.

Put it in the form though, if you want it to be considered. The staff insists that you go through the red tape.

I really like that idea.

Kemmler · Post by **Kemmler** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 11:00 am

I've wnated something like this before.

lozzini · Post by **lozzini** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 12:55 pm

i will put it in the form tomorrow because i dont have time tonight

i tried this once, but it was shot down

edwinissweet · Post by **edwinissweet** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 6:06 pm

i dont see y they would shut it down.

lozzini · Post by **lozzini** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 8:11 am

i have out it into the form now

firth4eva · Post by **firth4eva** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 8:21 am

This has been suggested and never been accepted or rejected. Don't see why not

It would also help when looking for team games.

When I am bored, I generally go to "join a game" and search for a game with one slot left... it takes a long time (cuz generally i don't want to join too many 2 players). So I thought if the game finder option could have like a "Players Left" Option... that would make things alot easier.

It will help people find games that can be joined asap. And i think i would have more fun

One of the best ideas ive heard

i had a suggestion like this, it was denied though after just one post, dont know why though.

isn't that what speed games are for ?

Plutoman · Post by **Plutoman** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 9:17 pm

Oh, god, I would hate this... It's already hard enough to do a RT game without some random person joining in at the last second because it has one slot left.

With this, it'd be absolutely impossible.
