7 wonders Arena: Scheduled or Live mode

Post by Pistolero »

I'd like that expert players post here their preference for the Arena mode, whether it is Scheduled (games start every 10 minutes) or Live (the actual mode where you wait until a table is ready).
Please post only "Scheduled" or "Live" and anything else. Don't justify, don't propose other options. You can do that in a separate thread. The idea is to make it simple for BGA to have an idea what the players prefer.

I prefer Scheduled.

I say you can make it live but improve the match making algorithm so that you can't be matches with someone outside your level in the first 4 minutes based on 'table host'^.

This would get quick games when there are enough other players at a similar level, but would make players wait a few minutes in order to get more even matchups.

^The table host would be the first person at a given level to enter the arena mode. (this could be expanded to multiple Elo sectors in the elite mode, say +/- 100). If table host hits 4 minutes (for example) then the players accepted at that table expand...so nobody would have to wait much more than 4 minutes, and most games would start faster...but it would achieve what the games every 10 minutes was trying to do, but without excessive waiting around.
