Easier Way to Join Multiple Games?

Post by fiznurb »

I love this site and I'm new to it all, but I would sure like to be able to select maybe ten different games I want to play in and then join them all or drop a bunch at once. Can you add a checkbox which will allow us to select all the games we want to join then a "submit" button or "join all these games"?

Also, it would be really nice if speed games could be 10 minutes or maybe 15 minutes instead of five. This hardly gives you enough time to think. Maybe you could keep the 5 minute games, and have 10 and 15 as well. Would be cool.

Also, can you guys make the log and comment sections work from the top down instead of bottom up? It's annoying having to sit there and scroll all the time. In a game like World of Warcraft, you don't have to scroll because the latest information is always shown on top and the older information is at the bottom.

I like the first idea about checking boxes to join games. Speed games: If anything there too long.

If you use Firefox as your browser (and possibly some others), you can use the mouse wheel button to open the screen in a new tab, thus allowing you to join multiple games at once with ease

First: Use the form.
Second: Use a separate post for each idea.

Hey, replying people, thank you for your replies.

First: I'm new to this whole conquer club forum stuff, so please be patient.

Second: My goal was not to impress you all with my ideas, it was the only place I could find to submit a request for enhancement to the interface of the game.

Third: I don't care about stupid form guidelines, rules, regulations, what have you. This is the internet is it not? Why does everything have to be so damned regulated? Sheesh you would think that a forum on the internet would be one of the few places in the world where people aren't so anal.

Lastly: Nobody responded to the chat idea. Yes, I should have had a separate post. But guess what, I have a life, I don't have time to sit here all fricking day and read guidelines and shit and then post five different posts. So get over it.

Oh and Firefox does not allow you to join multiple games. I am familiar with the features of a web browser like firefox and I use it all the time, but the point is the UI on this game sucks a fat tird.

Have a nice day.

yeah it does.

The checkboxes are quite a good idea though. Sadly it won't be listened to without that anal form

No, what he meant was that new chat should appear at the top of the screen, so the second newest chat would be directly under it and so on. So everything gets pushed downwards. It's easy to get confused.

the easiest way to join multiple games in firefox is to right click the join game button then select "Open Link in new Tab" from the menu that pops up. Then just go down the list of games you want to join. You will have many tabs open, but you can close them easily by hitting the Control and W keys on the keyboard.
