Arena Flaw - Turn Order Is Shown Before Game Starts

Post by FSKFSK »

I noticed a flaw in the new arena. If I move first, my opponent displays as "player 2", but if I move second, my opponent displays as "player 1". (in a 2 player game) There are some games, like Gizmos, where moving first is a huge advantage. If I see that I'm player 2, I can refuse to start the game and farm for being player 1 only.

For a while BalGAmor was monitoring this thread for https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45307 for bugs with the new arena matching screen (e.g., when names were showing!). Obviously a bug report should be submitted, too.
