watch this game.

Post by WILLIAMS5232 »

so, back when watch this game was an add-on, you would have in the game finder results screen the option to watch the game. also you could go to tournament search and watch all games for that tournament.

now you have to open each game in it's own window to click the little binocular to put it on your watch game list. this is very time consuming when you are trying to watch several games. for instance, i have a tournament going that has 24 active games right now. it just took me about 8-10 minutes to watch all of those games. i will hate to have to use this when i have a tournament with like 60 games or so in it, or when i have multiple tournaments running.

couldn't there be a way to add the binoculars to the game finder results screen?

also a side suggestion. is there any way to put tert numbers on the watch game page. foggy games doesn't show any indication as to who may have a lead or not.

An addition,
I much prefer the game layout of the regular central command page vs the layout used in the current Wath Game tab.
I guess it's nice to see the board without going into game, but there is a ton of other info missing. ANd the window shows ALL foggy games as complete fog even if you are in the game. SO for foggy games, it has 0 advantage.

As someone who runs a lot of tournaments as well, I was at first very disappointed with the version of WTG that came out. However, I have come to appreciate it for new reasons. In a foggy game I don't get much, but I do get that the game is up and running, who is alive and when I am looking for a particular game, I can quickly click through the mini windows until I find the particular game (i.e. with certain people, or on a particular map, etc.) that I am looking for. As far as games being picked up, and ended I can find that out through the new game finder for multiple searches. Or for individual searches, I can take the 2 off in the command line and get the old game finder. (Useful when I want a list of games as before.)

All that said in favor of the new, I also miss the ease of one click to watch a bunch of games.
