Just wanted to see an option where could directly start a match with any free online player from the ONLINE players list in the lobby; like clicking a free player should pop a match menu where we could see select number of frames, timer, level. Table no. can be assigned by the game server. This would be a quite helpful feature. Would luv to see it in reality.

Hey,
Just wanted to see an option where could directly start a match with any free online player from the ONLINE players list in the lobby; like clicking a free player should pop a match menu where we could see select number of frames, timer, level. Table no. can be assigned by the game server. This would be a quite helpful feature. Would luv to see it in reality.

Re: New way of starting a match
Hi,
The basic idea is very good as it makes it easier to start playing. Once you get to the exact details, it gets quite complex, though. What happens if the invited player ignores the request? What if he accepts it much later when you already forgot that you invited someone? Will you be taken to the table immediately when sending the invite or only when the acceptance is there? How long will you wait at the table if taken there immediately? It's not nice that you lose the lobby view by the invite. But staying in the lobby is not good either because you might be taken to the table in the middle of a lobby discussion.
All these fine details and probably much more have to be covered, which is of course possible and I'm sure something like this will come in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
