Filter lobby on eligibility to join

Post by tolcso »

Hello!

It would make the game lobby more usable if those games were treated differently which you can't join eg. because you are an average player and it is open for only good players.

I have two suggestions that could solve this:
1. A filter you can turn off to show/hide games you can't join
2. Different background for these games in the lobby and a label warning about ineligibility

Or maybe both solutions could be used. :)

If there is a filter, having it so one can turn it off/on is a good idea. I have had situations where a game required more than 2 players. I was willing to play, but was not at the level they wanted. If the filter just excluded me from seeing the table, I wouldn't have been able to get to the table at all and ask if they were willing to play with someone who wasn't at their level. They decided they would rather play anyone than not play. so I did get in the game. The point being, I wouldn't have seen the table at all if there was a filter in place.

But, I do like the idea of a filter, especially for tables with access limited to certain groups, and I'm not a member of those groups. Either toggling showing the restricted tables, or a different background, or both sound like good ideas.
