My point is that isn't what the page is for. We have a scoreboard and a members list if you'd like to go to profiles. And all of the games would still be shown in the game finder.

You guys messed up the scoreboard servers. I have to get the exact username I can't get the username close to it.

This was going to be my comment as well.

I like the original idea. As noted, if you want a variety of maps, just go to "game finder" You can pick all maps with "waiting" as your criteria and you will get what we now see in "join games".

I myself never use join games just because it is so unweildy

Lol the body of the suggestion is awesome

I agree with the title though, if a game has 100 percent of its spots reserved it shouldn't come up when lookin for games IMO

I'd like to see this as well. I play mostly 2-player public games, and I can't join any of the reserved games. My list usually includes 50-75% reserved games. That seems like a no-brainer for a radio-button filter, right? Thanks!

Okay, my stats were inflated. A recent check showed 18 out of 46 reserved. But that's still worth filtering, I think! :)

I think this is done already. If a game is fully reserved you can't see the whole game anymore...

I think he's talking about hiding even the mention of it as "fully reserved." Not sure if this is a big problem, but I have wondered why it shows the fully reserved games in the first place.

Well, being reserved doesn't mean it will stay reserved. People can miss invites or decline invites...

Is that something which actually affects any users? Do users write down the game numbers and check back to see if the game has become not fully reserved? I'm not sure what your point is.

Honestly that whole page needs a big rework. Right now, the number of games on each page varies with filters (such as identical games, as well as fully reserved ones). These games should be ignored in the SQL fetching the data, thus reducing the overall number of pages in join a game.

GameFinder

Post by patrickaa317 »

Add a choice that says "Available" to Game Status in the GameFinder screen. I hate having games show up under "waiting" games that are completely reserved.

This makes finding joinable games easier as well as inviting players to tourneys or clan games as you can filter out the ones where all invites have been sent.
taking a break from cc, will be back sometime in the future.
