Board Game Arena

This whole suggestion is very unlikely to be accepted As someone else points out, BGA does show player names in the colour that they are. I don't ever think of " the blue player" - I look at whose name is in blue and think, "oh, ufm took the spot I wanted, bummer". But if there ...

There is no reason to stay in a game after a player is booted, as the results will be neutralised anyway (all non-booted players are evaluated in a tie), but some people don't realise this. You can play on, but the AI used for the booted player is rudimentary, and (I believe) just takes whatever act...

You can still respond on bugs, even if they are closed - I assume that still notifies the developer. As to finding groups, you can search for things that interest you, like game titles, or other interests, where you live, etc. You can also look at your friends' groups, or potentially ask if there's ...

For me, this normally works pretty well.

JoysJoy mentions that they have set their colour preferences, and yes, I have too (hence my reference to my chosen colour, and the games that attempt to go for a "closest" option).

I've noticed this, though I think it may only be on particular games? Some games obviously don't have your chosen colour and while it attempts a reasonable match, this doesn't always work (it often moves me from red to orange (which I hate) or pink). But I agree there are some games where it seems t...

Awesome, thanks. If only other feedback was addressed so swiftly.

Just noticed this tonight - my Arena games on my Games in Progress page now say my name only, other players are marked as "Player" with an Arena symbol over their avatar. Obviously I can see who I'm playing in the actual table, so I don't understand what the point of this is?

That's true of Alpha, but not Beta. Beta can be played competitively, but it will warn you there's potential bugs and therefore you may lose ELO if a game ends up in a broken state (that said, I've never had that happen to me, it's just a warning that it could). Prelude is still certainly in Alpha s...

I don't understand this - why are you quitting games instead of finishing them?

I mean, yes, Friendly mode is the way to play if you want to keep doing it, but don't you play games to actually play the game? What's the point if you're not going to finish it?
