but i dont see any negatives by sorting by slots remaining.


So how does something like this get implemented?

Add spots left in game finder options

Post by jcase16 »

Please add the ability to sort games by the number of spots left and allow me to count or ignore reserved spots. It's INCREDIBLY hard to find games that have one of two spots left that have no one reserving a seat at the game. With sooooo many games currently open and no real way to sort by how close they are to starting, I would REALLY like this added. So much so that if I were allowed I would volunteer my time to make the changes in the code. Waiting for games to start can be torturous and it would be super convenient to know which were closest to starting.

Thanks!

I like this suggestion. Is there a more current thread on this topic other than this? Can we push for implementation on this one?

What does [GF] mean in the subject?

Use Game Request instead.

Searches games under chosen settings and puts you in a game that is about to start where possible. Sounds perfect to me.

but what it puts you in the game automatically right?

Edit-

Ok, I answered my own question, and it does. The game request may be a helpful tool for somebody ready to play now, but it does not allow for a player to search for waiting game slots. Searching for open game slots would allow more discretion in choosing a game to join. Thus, I do not feel the game request is applicable to this suggestion.
