(EXPERIMENTATION ENDED) Arena mode upgrade

[sourisdudesert]

2 turn-based games per day sounds not enough to me, though.

We may be flexible on this depending on the statistics. The longer we wait between sessions, the best chance you have to get the perfect opponent.

there needs to be something flashing on the taskbar when it is ready to start. I have wanted this for years as indicated in my profile.

You waited it for years? Maybe it's already there for years



Tip: you can also enabled the notifications from your preferences, then you'll have an additional hint that your game is about to start.

hats off to you for the creative solution- sounds like a very promising idea! I look forward to try it.

what exactly did "enable the notifications" mean? since it doesn't work on computer (only on mobile device?) and I don't play it on mobile device for years

[sourisdudesert]

Notifications definitively works on both mobile & computer. See: viewtopic.php?t=13246

I would have the notification box half that size and alternate colors so you can see when the next player arrives

Slightly off topic, please make Through the ages new version to be 3 player games instead of 2 in arena.

I like the changes so you know when you can play

Is this possible to make game with 3-4 players in Arena Mode?

[Want_You]

The main problem is game option. For example, as a Seasons player, I and my friends ( including top players ) always play with "All expansions + promo cards" option. However, in arena mode "Tournament card set" is on. That's quite wired because most players prefer 'All expansions'. I never try arena mode for Seasons in fact.

If Arena Mode aims to clarify players' level then different options must be a obstacle. Different option make game very different in depth and further strategy. For Seasons and RftG, actually, different card set makes totally different game. Thus players would be divided into sub groups, who disliking the arena option will never play arena mode, and others always play in arena mode. Even the options switch in different arena seasons, thing won't be better.

Personally I perfer to make different options tolerable in arena mode, or at least 'selected options'. I wonder if it's technically difficult or not.

No matter what to the end. Big THANKS to the developers

It seems like after the upgrade, the most recent games are no longer available in arena mode.
I currently have a ELO > 100 in GORami and in Mammalath, but no time is indicated for these games.
