ENT Gaming

Yo!

[Ent] would probably benefit from refreshing the games more often (if this is what decides what comes on top when u click search). I can never seem to find Ent tree tag games even with 15 refreshes, now I always just /whois ent15 for the game, but for new players this is not known. Also when entering the game it should say "/whois ent15" to find tree tag games.

Also the bug that drops players, this has probably been mentioned to death but it seems to be less of a problem on other ent games/games in general.

-So let the autorefresh, refresh more often.
-Dropbug fix

good summer ents & infs

I haven't had any problem with drop. It may be your map or your wc3. As far as refreshes go I believe its not the rate at which ent bots refresh, but that there are so many other bots also on autorefresh.

Drop bug is a problem with the tree tag map, it's been around for a while and no one known what causes it AFAIK.

Refresh rate has nothing to do with how often games show up on the list, and increasing/decreasing it won't improve visibility. We have done things like use invalid map game types that exploit a flaw in the battle.net gamelist (BGN started it D:) though, but the real problem there's just too many maps to play (one reason there's too many bots) and the gamelist doesn't show enough games, plus doesn't have good filtering. ENT15 is displayed in the lobby so anyone who knows what /whois is should be able to find the game. Those who don't know probably won't benefit from having a message.

Edit: also, AbsoluteMSTR and I and maybe some others are working on a platform that will have a much better gamelist than battle.net and PVPGN's. It'll be web-based for the most part and have smarter filtering tools that'll let you more easily find the game that you want.

True, the custom games list display only 20 games. bnet has 50k - 200k players.

If only BATTLE.NET made a better game list for the users to actually scroll up&down 100 games after each refresh button.

Yeah, .. That is the point I'm trying to clarify with "if only"
