Serious backstep in turn based games

[Torinapu]

Hi,

I would like to protest against two new "inventions". Both connected to turn based game launching.

One of them is preventing me to offer rematch after a finished game, if I have any other turn based game which waits for my turn. It is very possible that the player who choose turn based games, cannot perform every turn which waits for his action in once. So preventing rematch with this requirement just rob another 2-3 minutes while the player starts the game manually, set the settings and manually type in the other players. Where is the progress in this change ? Please undo it.

The other one also very annoying, for me its worse then the first because I cannot bypass it. In the new system I can launch only 3 game at the same time and until one of them is not go into started stage I am not allowed to launch more. Usually, after a nice game I offer rematch. Sometimes it takes days till every participant comes up and accept the invitation. Sometimes somebody do not accept it but does not click on reject. Sometimes the games just too rapid and I finish more than 10 in a day. The point is, If I already launched 3 rematches to 3 different person, I cannot offer another to the fourth. And it is happening all the time since the change went live. I might understand the other side, there can be performance reasons but please if you cannot undo it at least increase this cap to 10.

Thank you very much for reading it, I hope we can be on the same page about it.

I can't confirm the first issue for sure, but the second one is there and has had me waiting for days in games with more than 2 players to accept that rematch offer. I am well aware of the performance issues multiple server requests are presenting but BGA is a gathering place for people all around the world. You can't expect for someone in Australia to be up in 4 in the morning so he can accept the game at once, sometimes 12 or more hours will pass until the person logs on. This technically makes the rematch very hard once the 3 slots are gone.

There have been cases where all 4 of us had to communicate with each other so that a rematch is arranged. A simple increase would support playing fun and interesting matches easy and more often.

This has been discussed there and most of this is fixed now so I'm closing this one to avoid having 2 separated subjects :
