Player Location Info

Post by Laszlosaurus »

I think it would be a nice feature to show a player's location on their profile page. Probably right under their name would be a good place, as in the "Meet players" page that shows who's currently online and available to play. This way users can avoid manually searching all the games in progress to find if one of their friends or prospective opponents is active.

But even more useful may be showing where you are. It sometimes happens that a game stops responding and F5 does nothing to fix it. In those cases I try loading my game in a second tab, or logging in from a second browser or computer to continue playing. It would be very helpful in those instances to have a notice at the top of every page in BGA saying something like, "You are now playing in Dominion n°178877" which I could click on to be transported quickly back to my table. As it is, I have to go to the table manager page and search for my username among the list of games in progress, with other players getting more impatient and wondering where I went. :oops:

Please provide this info on profile pages:

There IS something exactly like "You are now playing in Dominion n°178877" now... Try to open a game, join it, close this tab and open a new BGA tab, you will see that info on the top...

OK, it is showing up for me consistently now. I thought I saw the notice before, but it didn't show up on every page or when I logged in on a second browser.

ps - Loved the murals on the wall by Bandung train station.
