Call for a web based platform

Yes, but that does not solve the problem.
What is if you host two lobbies, and both are full at the same time.
You must choose one lobby and the other people get frustrated.

Btw. The Matchmaker solves this problem
You need not more lobbies, you need game queues

The real question is:

How you can decrease the time between a player announce that he wants to play and the game starts.

[IceDreamer]

You think hosting multiple lobbies is the solution? How are three lobbies going to take less time to fill than one...

... hmmm


So you are suggesting when going to a supermarket, having only one pay desk will go faster ?

[D4E_Omit]

Worst comparison ever.

No but having one trolley will

[Mr-Smith]

having a second Lobby would help if:

1# FAF would have a max userlimit; but we dont have
2# you got a life time ban from FAF

[-_V_-]

Or FAF is shut down

Problem is that clearly dso is not gonna be able to provide an alternative, decent enough. I do not have any kind of trust in the management of FAF, so I really wish there was an alternative. But for now, there just won't be any.

Well ... You have to understand that my lobby and faf or gpgnet don't work at all in a same manner.
Even if you think this is too complex for a "normal user" this is just a point of view. You are just too much accustomed to FAF.

Dude, all I'm saying is , before going into additional features such as vaults, you should make potential users feel it's FUCKIN EASY to play games on your lobby.
Main goal. Nothing else.

The rest will come later.

Is it SO hard to understand ?

This all depends on when you want to release and how you want to release something. Allthough the way he is doing it now is probably not the best way to gain potential users of his new lobby

Well ... You have still Steam.

It is playable and useer friendly but well .... you have no feature. So and it was my point the outcome is almost the same

I didn't say that, I'm quite happy with FAF actually.
