[GF] Filter For Reserved/Unreserved Games To Game Finder

by **kmhebert** on Thu Nov 04, 2010 3:17 pm

Been well over a year now and it's still pretty annoying. Not sure why this was never added.

Hide games that you can't join from the join a game page

Games Would be hidden IF:

All spots in the game have been invited
Someone in the game has you on their foe list

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

The Join A Game page will be less cluttered, and will allow users to more quickly find a game that they both want to play in, and are allowed to join.

i think this would be awesome. wouldnt it be hard to code tho? i mean there are like a 1,000 games up at once.

It shouldn't be hard to code. Not counting BR's (because they aren't affected by either of these), there can be a MAXIMUM of seven people to check foe-lists, and the games that have been fully reserved now say that, so taking them off the page should be very easy.

I think it would be a nice toggle rather than hard code no-option.

I think it is harder to do that then making it a non toggle

but yea it would be nice cuz sometimes i go to join a game and use it for going to peoples proffile

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.

I like this idea.

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

interesting very interesting...

by **iamkoolerthanu** on Wed May 11, 2011 9:16 pm

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

very handy suggestion indeed

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!
