Why not have two main lobbies?

I see many people complaining about the issue that 99% of games on here are either classic, FP or Coco. Why not restrict these games to a lobby called beginner lobby or something and have another lobby for everything else?

i don't see how anyone who is actively playing doesn't see how frustrating main lobby is. you can't mix a competition and a sandbox


You can and were always able to. That's how it worked back in the day, when there were no lobbies whatsoever to begin with. And it worked perfectly.

yeah, i may just bring back the competitive lobby


cool. also he is not being sarcastic. the site has gone too casual and he realizes it

"tables won't fill" -- do a trial run then. this is an assumption based on how it was like a year ago. it's a guess and a dumb reason not to trial it

I bet some old users come back to play in a new competent lobby


We had a trial run for a year and a half in a row, if not more than that.

The "trial run" in itself was what caused the current cancerous setup prevalences to begin with.

Yeah but when I was a month old, going from training -> competitive was an exciting thing

What about giving a try to showing games in a reverse order first? So by default, the list would only show games that haven't yet started, putting ones in front that were made earlier, rather than later. This way FP and classic wouldn't flood away comp games, forcing people to constantly remake.

There could be an option to order games normally, plus after a few minutes games that don't have at least 2 players joined should go back ranking lower, to prevent afk hosts from polluting the top of the list.


This is an excellent idea and a way, way, way, way freaking better idea than unmerging lobbies.

You think the players that only play the red heart games will come running to the Competitive Lobby? Like hell they will. Any userbase issues that are had with the current competitive setups will not be any better.

What possible advantage could we as competitive players have from lobbies unmerging again? Give me ONE good reason. Think about it.

change main lobby to competitive, remove red hearts from it, open a new lobby only for red hearts with no blacklisted setups, call it main lobby.

tbh most of the frustrating players in main lobby are terrible veterans who simply play the game idly and haven't improved despite being on this website for 3+ years

This thread is not about competitive and doesn't relate to it.

Let's just make a straight lobby and a gay lobby.

unmerge the lobbies so my glorious training lobby community can be reborn.

No I really think a tab that you click that just shows competitive tables will make a player better the moment he or she clicks on it

well now that i say that, back in the day, i remember us growing out of them, but they're all back and this time there are arrogant players who refuse to step out of them

yeah but at least in the past the "dumb" players would attach themselves to decent strategies and playstyles... now they're forever cemented in terrible terrible ideologies


All you litterally have to do, is join a setup and read the first two strategies someone else made for it to have a general idea of how to play.

Let's just have a separate lobby for every single EM user.


You can join the Bigpock lobby

We can smoke weed and drink beer on the lolo


That defeats the purpose of having separate lobbies.
