invitations

Post by Pigouache »

Est ce que ce serait possible d'inviter tous les joueurs disponibles d'un coup ?
(au lieu d'en inviter un, attendre 5 sec avant d'en inviter un autre, etc.)
merci pour les jeux !

Out of curiosity, why would this functionality be needed?

Doesn't the new lobby system automatically match available players with available games? I'll admit, I don't use the new lobby, so I'm not sure on this. If it does, though, any players who want to play your game will find it quickly, and players who don't want to play will ignore the (spam) invitations.

Just removing the 5 sec delay would be plenty, the 1 suggestion per player limit is probably enough to restrict spaminess.

A 'suggest to all' button would probably be too excessive, and it would be too easy to suggest the game to someone you would't want to play with.

Part of improving UX. I personally find that annoying as well. One of the big pain points on this site for me personally, especially for Quantum, which isn't such a popular game, so you do have to send quite a few invites.

Rule of thumb - if I can do something with extra time and clicks (e.g. send 6 requests in 30 seconds to make 6 suggestions instead of sending 1 request in 30 seconds to make 6 suggestions) then the UI is not tailored for that use case and the UX is bad.

Main question would be - why is there a restriction to sending only 1 suggestion every 5 seconds? I assume the main reason is to reduce the amount of requests hitting the server? If so, adding a 'Suggest all' button would actually reduce the number of requests to the server, not increase them. It would mean people would generally get more suggestions to join tables, but I honestly wouldn't care. If anything, I would manage games I want to play more than I do right now. Now it's basically a list of games I know, versus games that I actually want to play at the moment.

I would assume it is because of possible suggestion spam on players, dunno if that is the case or if it is necessary.
