I see lots of missed turns and losses by AoG now :D

I do see a lot more missed turns --but I think it is a great update

Also would like to see 48 hours implemented

Just go Join A Game > Speed Games


Awesome...thank you...been on this site for years and never found a game that way. I don't remember the last time I clicked the join a game button unless by accident. Much easier

I think the new speed is awesome. I'm glad that it tells you when your game starts too. That was needed.

I noticed this too. I think it is a feature where you can't see your game since its 1 v 1 and you are already in it so you are not eligible to join?

That's right, you can't see your own games on the Join A Game tabs. I'll add something in the Game Finder to select all speed games with 1 click on Monday.

Is it possible to give back the PM feature where you a notified when your game starts? OR at least have that as an option? Sometimes I forget to leave that window open, and start browsing the forum, so I miss the notification.

Also, don't know if this is possible to fix, if I have more than 1 window open, and CC waiting games is underneath a different window, the notification doesn't work (or at least I don't see it). Can that be fixed, or is that even possible?

Thanks, and Merry Xmas!

one thing that would be cool:
when one click "ok" in the popup notifification ("speed game is ready"), it redirects/focus on the game

That's a great idea! And I could make it happen only if there are no other waiting speed games.

I don't really play speed too often, but reading through this thread gave me a good positive vibe ... if the update makes this many people happy it's gotta be a good thing!

I don't know if it's possible, but in case there's more than one awaiting speed game. then it would open a new tab

That would take even longer. Terrible idea.

Lol, this could fit into the new direction CC is heading.

"A good evening sir, your speed game has started! Bytheway, would you be interested in buying a [...]?"

I look forward to playing a couple of faster speed games now! I am also glad we get to use these new settings for our Anniversary Celebration in early January 2012...
