Audio / visual notification of Match Play arrivals
« on: September 11, 2017, 03:32:23 AM »
Just as in the MA when you get the 'base under attack' audio notification (I also think something flashes, can't remember), may we please have some notification when someone else arrives in Match Play.

I'm often lurking round in there waiting so I do other work and when someone comes in all that changes is a 0 changes to a 1, say.

Might make for a smoother arena if there was an audio and / or visual notification when someone arrives. I'll be honest, the latter part I'm asking for because I don't have any sound  :rofl

Just a small request.

Hmmmm, no comments. Just how popular is Match Play during peak times? Either it's so popular that this wish isn't needed, or it's so unpopular no one wants it.

Numbers dictate where people go sadly.  The Melee's the only place with a population so it's the only place that gets played.

It does indeed seem the vast majority don't much care about match play.

I think it's awesomely flexible. I actually like it the best with mismatched planes. Get real experts in specific types and can pitch all you've got against each other.

Wish it was more popular. Guess it's a minority philosophy that level of competition. Two men enter, one man leave. MA is a lot softer.
