Map added to Join game page

Postby super_dipsy » 25 Jan 2023, 08:11

This is a minor change but it would be good to see if people find it helpful.

When you go to Join game, there is the option to then view the game you are interested in so you can see what the status is. However, a lot of people in a hurry just click on the JOIN, then when they find out they only have 1 SC for instance they will leave again. Some games experience a revolving door because of this with constant joins and surrenders.

The hope is that by giving a small snapshot of the current game status, it might be more obvious if it is a game the player wants to join. Of course for FoW games the map thumbnail will be blank.

See what you guys think, feel free to post with your opinions on it. If it causes problems we can always go back to what we had.

Just a thought. If "join game" icon wasn't available until after clicking on "view game", would that reduce the number of rapid join and leaves? No response needed. It's just a thought.
