[GF] Newest Games First

[shanksdigs]

Reverse the sort of public games: newest game first

• as stated

Specifics/Details:

• The newest games are listed first when anyone is looking for games

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

• worst game types end up timing out
• best games get picked up first
• end the need to scroll to the back of the list

Bad idea, because this way a lot of games will never fill. People tend to join the top games earlier then the bottom games.

I agree. Older games should be listed first.

me agrees too.
I'd like to modify the suggestion to be, show those games that have the least persons missing, aka have the most games filled.
that way the 8 player quad where team1 is totally filled will not be a farmers paradise as it is now

Yes, this I could support.

um, actually, grate idea. those games that don't fill will be dropped by the system as they get timed-out. Seems like new players will join the newest games, not the ones that have been sitting around the longest.

It is not a great idea when these games are dropped by the system, because then that kind of games will almost never be filled and so you can't play these kind of games without making it a private game and inviting people.

I don't like this suggestion, because as stated once a game falls of the first page, it is unlikely that it would fill. I do think a mechanism to reduce the number of currently waiting games would be nice though.

Umm, actually awful idea because games don't get dropped unless they are private. So, none of those games would be 'timed-out'

Are you sure? Since I never have seen a public game waiting around for more then 15 days.

Yes. They sit there until they are joined or dropped.

So let the shit games sit there. If they are a poor format, then they should waste away, rather thhan being b reathed life on page one.

IMPLEMENTED

no support but implemented
what about the drop long time waiting games part of it are they going to get dropped after x amount of time.

[lanyards]

There was pretty much zero support... and I also do not like this idea.

[Bruceswar]

IMPLEMENTED

Seriously? WOW!

[agentcom]

I'm seeing something like 8-2 "voting" against this idea. I don't know why this got picked up for implementation, but I'm looking into it. I hope to be able to provide more information later.

[jsnyder748]

oh no....maybe only implement for searching games. When you click join a game it should be the oldest first so games will actually fill.

This is a big blunder....

[blakebowling]

I was actually unaware that this was being implemented, as agentcom said, we're looking into it.

Just as a note, this isn't working for speed games. Although, that probably doesn't matter as much.

Doesn't matter much and I believe that was by design anyway. Speeders are a different animal.
