More suggestive lobby names
« on: April 06, 2020, 18:44 »
Kind of weird u have to put game mode in title, and sometimes it changes, but title doesn't. Or you don;t know who owner is..

So. How about adding a name prefix if some of the stuff are specified: Mode, Ownerm, Min / Max psr? by default before "whatever the owner chooses to name the game"

A simple format like:

P/pastmistake | <lobby name>
P/AP/pastmistake | <lobby name>
P/ARSHOM/1500+/pastmistake | <lobby name>
C/RD/-1450/pastmitake | <lobby name>

P - public
C - custom , unranked

You mean make game titles fully automatic based on what you said and update when host changes them?

I think it will look fancy in theory and its easy to implement but there will be problem if you want to put 123 name for a friend to come for example and there can be problem with duplicate names

1. Your friend will easily see what's your lobby, since your nickname is in the lobby name ?  ::)

2. There's literally now way now, for 2 lobbies to have indentical names, since owners are different so that makes a different lobby "prefix".

3. Maybe You didn;t understood the example. The owner has control only on the <lobby name> part. Example:

I create a game, set mode AP and min 1550psr. Then, I type "!pub free for all"


P/AP/1550+/pastmistake | free for all

That makes it easier with duplicates but friend needs to type full name thats a problem. Game can show in list with delay so most friends join by game name

Apart from that i think its good idea

I`m sorrry but lobbies names "123" are the worst. You don't know PSR, mode etc.
No hard feelings, fuck those owners.

You only put name 123 for friend to join and then put normal. If you play alone long names are ok but if you play with 3 friends you need 123

Still makes no solid reasons.  :boy:

1. If you're the owner of the game, you will hold them slots.
2. Even if game will show delayed a bit, doesn't mean it will get filled by the time your friends see it.. What's the rush ? why do they have to be there asap ; and then wait together with you another 10min for lobby to fill ?

3. They could still use their puberty issue, and type "P/pastmistake | 123" since that's the first name given when creating the lobby.

Seems like a foolish pretext. And I don;t see any valid/worrying downsides of using my suggestion.

It can be that you join game and ask for slot but game only has 1 slot so host needs to keep it free until your friend joins and he needs to wait for refresh or type long game name which is uncomfortable for all.

Also when host creates game he needs to either type or wait for refresh and there is that feature that bot unhosts if owner doesnt join quick

Maybe its not big deal, im just used to joining games like this

As i said in general idea is good, in fact i wanted to implement something similar in past
