Board Game Arena

I noticed this new feature 1 or 2 days ago. Now, when you are on a table's page, you don't see the "game tables list" on the same page anymore.
I think this is a regress. This makes things much less convenient.
You can't see if other tables for same game are opened.
You can't see if tables for games you'd like to play to get opened. Especially when you're lonely waiting on a less popular game's table. Mostly I don't leave a table when we're 2+ players.
Basically I think that will only encourage me to look forward more popular games for which I'm certain to find players. Or just open 2 tabs to get around the problem.
Overall, I don't really get why the "game tables list" has been separated from the table page. Is that to avoid players who make some fast joining&leaving ? I rarely encounter such players and don't think they're a big problem - at least not big enough to separate table and games list. Plus this won't prevent them from joining&leaving if they want to rush.

Maybe lots of people think like me and we can get back to previous system. Or maybe some players will convince me that this new system is useful ?

Totally agree!!
For meeting emergency, you may click "back to table list" by middle click, that will open a new window for table list

Hello,

For your information this feature has been removed for performance reason : removing the table list make the "table" page display way much faster, and to be honest we were not sure that many players were scrolling down the page to check other pages. This is especially useful on slow devices.

One option could be to display table list like before, on demand, with just one click.

Hello,

Thx for the answer ! The performance reason definitely makes sense - didn't think of it ^^

If you can make this button to show the tables list on the same page, it would be great

i think on demand would work if it is not too 'demanding' on server resources *haha*.

that said, you can still see the existence of other tables by looking at the ' AVAILABLE PLAYERS THAT WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME NOW ' listing and see tables for the same game other than the one you are at. no other details .. but at least you have some clue.

I think it can design like this: I click "open a new table", and popup another window, both Convenience and efficiency been given consideration

Hi,

We perform a very important optimization of the lobby, which is way more fast to load.

Consequently, we put it back to the table page

I just noticed. Great, thx
