Board Game Arena

Bonjour,

La liste des jeux ouverts peut être parfois longue pour peu qu'on soit intéressé de manière générale par beaucoup de jeux, et on peut passer beaucoup de temps à chercher un jeu qui répond exactement à nos critères de l'instant. Par exemple, on peut vouloir une table de jeu ouverte avec tel jeu, telle expansion, tel option, tel nombre de joueurs... Un filtre de la liste selon ces critères permettrait de gagner beaucoup de temps.

The list of games opened can be very wide, especially if we are interested in many games, and we can spend mucht time to find a game that belongs to the feeling of the moment : this game, with this expansion, this option, this players number... A filter of the list by those criterias could earn us much time.

Merci !

Could be a good idea, but is better if you're "specific" about how many games you wanna play. Generally isn't good to add more than 10 games in your list of My Games.

Hi,

- About being specific in "my games" : sometimes I want to play a specific game, but sometimes I just want to play, and the specific will come out from the list and what the others want to play, so I don't want to be too much specific. Moreover, some games are played very rarely by rare players : you want those games in the list, just in case.

- Even if you have only one game in "my games", in turn-based list, a player can go crazy and create many many tables of this particular game, and it makes the list very wide and unreadable (just look at those tta tables, simple mode 2 players...), the filter could clear this.

Simply being able to filter out the games you are not allowed to join would reduce the list by a huge amount...

10,000x this! I've posted this here on several occasions but to no avail. But often half the games in the list are ones that I'm not even eligible to join. It might be because a user limits the table to their friends, a certain group, or a certain skill level. But either way, there's no point in clogging the already long games list with lots of games that I can't join!

I support this.

Also, don't automatically load the 'other games' list. On request only.

Hi diamant and trojanrabbit, those are good ideas, indeed. Thanks !

I would let it to be optional for each user, both to see games I am not allowed and to load Other Games automatically.

(Example, I would probably use it the way it is now - as in My Games there is only one-two games at once and being not able to join a table by restrictions ... doesn't always mean I don't join if I ask nicely and as for the second, when seeing no open table in My Games while wanting to play anything, somtimes I just jump into some Another Games table.)

I would say in general that management of My Games needs improvement. Like adding filters and preferences (seeing both real time and turn based tables in games of interest, not seeing games with specific players, option to see only first turnbased table of many of one player, option to see games of interest AND with certain restrictions, just to name a few).

I would welcome the option to sort the open tables alphabetical by game name - especially with turn based playing this would be of great use, becuase there are so many tables.

Also it would be of help to hide all tables where I cannot join (because of ELO, of limitation to a group which I don't belong to or simply because the table is full).

Some radio buttons with filter and sorting options perhaps?

I'd also like to be able to filter based on game characteristics - for example I only want to join turn based games that have 2 moves per day.
