Extra game time filter

Hello,

Sorry if wrong forum - not sure where to post this.

I know you guys just made a major update, so it feels not right to ask for more changes, but maybe you can find some time for it and find it good idea.

So im struggling recently (new ladder :D) with finding games - this also applies to non-ladder as well.

I suggest small change in ‘join game’ screen, considering game length - it’s displayed anyway after you click on the list, but what if:

The idea behind this is, that there are many games with idle people, like 2-10h games named “baal run 03” - which kinda makes people lose time while searching for proper games.
My suggestion is to add time filter:

  • infinite / no limit → obviously
  • 2-3 min → for fresh baal runs, split farm, tz farm, etc… this is most important rest filters don’t matter actually, it could be: “on/off” state for games shorter than 2-3 minutes - so when you join any ‘xxx run 42’ type game - you can be sure it’s not done yet.
  • 10-15 min → optional? games that just was hosted - with no AFK host for trade?
  • more options? perhaps make it a slider? idk…

Obviously my image-making skills are poor, but i guess you get the idea :slight_smile:


Alternate solution:

Display games on the list with SORT BY timestamp DESC would do the trick too.
May also add on/off switch as well if some1 finds that bad idea…
