50 players.

Post by RicardoRix »

Should the default maximum amount of players really be 50 ??

IMO to setup a table correctly I specify the exact amount I require.
Clicking the very tiny small - button 47 times is annoying.

Also any games starting with so many players is VERY likely to fail due to a player timing out. If you intentionally want a very high player count, then fine, but that should not be the default.

~5 would be better.

Don't most games default to the maximum player count on first being set up? Then remember your table setting for later games? I thought this would basically fix itself as people either set their own maximums or just restricted table access to friends/groups. The bigger problem feels like the maximum number of players is just clunky to adjust in games with a wide player range, so if someone wants to opena big table occasionally, it's a lot of faff changing each time. Maybe it's something that could be done as a game set-up option - a small game would be open to 8 initially, medium game up to 24, with a big game open to 50? Then if people wanted to tinker further, they likely wouldn't need to spend as much time adjusting.

Please don't revive old threads without checking that they still apply :lol:
If you tried to launch this game, you'd have seen that the default configuration has now been set to a more appropriate number of players (12)
