Re: games that count points declare winner instantly

P.S. A score tally animation is not a bug. It was perfect for a few days: a score tally animation for those that want that, and instantly telling you the result of the game, for those who want that. Honestly, I don't really understand why anyone would want information to be withheld for 30 seconds,...

Re: What happened to the instant winner announcement?

It was a bug that has been fixed: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50299
Oh boy that is infuriating :( It was so much better for a few days.

Re: games that count points declare winner instantly

Argh! I was so happy when it started doing this! It was buggy the old way - so frustrating to have to wait like 60 seconds to find out who won.

Could this please be an option? I'm not a kid, I don't need artificial suspense.

What happened to the instant winner announcement?

Last week, for a few days, I was seeing the winner announced instantly at the end of the game (eg, "Stevage wins"), before the very slow scoring process. And now it's gone again. Am I dreaming? Or is there an option or something I briefly enabled? I'd like it back please. (Otherwise, I do ...

Re: End Game Stats on Game Results Do not Include Resources

Hi there! Right now, the end of game stats always includes "points from fairy" even though most games do not include the fairy. Because this is already present, I'd love for "points from resources" to be included in the stats for the traders and builders expansion. That way, the...

Re: More players in Arena + strategic variant

More than two players brings some unwelcome elements into competitive play, by giving the losing player power to help decide the match.

How high do ratings go?

I can't find a way to see what the total spread of ratings is. I gather that at a certain point, you get a ranking instead (eg, #1 player). What is that point?

What is the average rating?

My peak rating was about 470 - is there a way to work out what percentile that is?

Thanks.

Re: How did you learn to play well?

My rating is mostly in the low 300s, occasionally up into the 400s. I don't play arenas, and I always play with Builders+Traders, and with the 3 tile strategic variant. I just learnt by playing and seeing what people did against me that worked. You don't need to memorise much to do ok at my level. I...

How do you avoid getting paired with someone who declines to play with you?

I assume this happens to other people too: 1. Search for a 2 player game 2. Get matched with player X, click accept 3. Player X declines to start (presumably because they are looking for a stronger opponent?) 4. Search for a 2 player game 5. Get matched with player X 6. Repeat forever. Is there a wa...
