Feature suggestions

Post by jengel91 »

It would be great to be able to sort your games in progress and pick the sort method.

It would be great if the game-end notifications included whether you won.

If you want these considered as feature suggestions, you probably want to raise through the bug-tracking section. Though, your first suggestion already exists (somewhat): https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=14321

And I'm not sure what you mean by your second. If you mean the email notifications, it does say who won, though it doesn't necessarily say "you won" (it says "jengel 91 wins"). If you mean the website notifications you can see in the menu under your avatar, all you have to do is click on the table to see the result, including who won, scores, etc. It's easier to keep the notifications generic - having a different one for the players who won vs. those who didn't is extra work for minimal benefit, especially when it's one additional click to see that information.

Thanks for pointing out that the first thing already exists and a better place to post these things!

I was referring to the website's notifications. Your point about making different ones depending on who wins makes sense, but I wonder why, if the email notifications include who wins, why the browser/app ones wouldn't.

The email notification is still generic. I suppose they could include the name of the winning player, but that gets more difficult when there are multiple winners. I suspect the reason is just to keep it short and as I say, it's only one click to find out who won. I'm usually more impatient to see where a game ended up, so I have to do the extra click and wait for the final game situation to load. But it's still a relatively easy thing to get to.
