Re: Sudden new arena matching screen?!?!

I do not see it until the game is completed.

Is there some way to see their rating?

Re: Sudden new arena matching screen?!?!

Indeed, my problem with this change (eliminating the opponent name and rating) comes as a result of not know who the better players are in a grouping. The name does not matter but the rating does. Example: If i am playing hearts or any other game where there are more than 1 other opponent, It is goo...

Re: Arena season 12: go!

I thought Arena was set up so Elite players were not playing those at levels of bronze and silver? How does it help it play such players, especially when a loss to such players is so damaging? This is especially bad in Ticket to Ride two player. Can this option to not play bronze silver level when e...

Re: FAQ: Arena mode

So, Thank you for that insight souridesert. I was shocked when you said my settings were not listed that way and now realize I have not been doing my settings correctly. I thought when I clicked on "play with my level" that made that the setting. I did not know I had to go turn off the oth...

Re: FAQ: Arena mode

I was told in previous season to click opponents of my level using the gear. But that is not working and continue to have bronze opponents matched against me where winning against them does not give but maybe 1 star, and losing sinks 5 stars. I still feel we should be able to leave a game if matched...

Arena Change for next time.

When I mentioned the frustration in Arena settings of being elite and the system matching you up with bronze level beginner, whereupon winning brings you little benefit, and losing costs you big time, You (souridudesert) replied: You can filter your opponent level: On Yathzee, click on the wheel (op...

Mad! at Arena!

Dear BGA, Your change to Arena is not fulfilling one pledge you gave! I started as #3 rank in yahtzee today. (having worked my way up) So I play one game it is an elite level. Fine, I lost. But then I start a new yahtzee game, and immediately after putting in to play, I am matched with a bronze 0 le...

Re: NEW: Arena mode (Season 0 - BETA)

So I am finding this discussion about the Arena mode interesting. And I pulled out the following quote because I think it is important for site managers to hear. 1. The site needs to Show the tables available to join and looking for people, with Arena mode. Develop it. Right now, let's say I sign in...

Re: NEW: Arena mode (Season 0 - BETA)

I am not thrilled with not seeing opponents and their levels when we sign up to play a game in Arena mode. Will that get changed at some point? Case in point, it was nice to see certain opponents that I play with often. With the 12 games I play, choosing which one to play was key in seeing players s...

Re: A new lobby for BGA

So maybe I am missing something with the new lobby, and don't want to dismiss the new one without seeing if my problem is correctable. As I read the comments, I find many people are like me: "I usually see what is available in my games of interest and choose according to what games are availabl...
