Title: A Few Questions about Online Play
Post by: Nik on February 20, 2014, 08:20:16 am
So, I've just got started on Goko doing Adventures and Bots, but I wanted to go to the next level--online play. I haven't finished a game yet, but from what I got; I like it. But I have a few questions. First, how do I ONLY find games I can Join? It's very annoying when I find 50 games that are already being played, and none that are open.
Second of all, why must I search by card? Why can't I just get up 'All Games?'
Am I doing something wrng, or is this a problem for everyone. Thanks.  :)

Each room holds 50 players....regardless if they are playing, waiting to play, or just observing. You may have to click around a little bit, but usually if a room is reasonably full you can find a game right away.

What you are referring to as "Cards" are actually just room names (Counting House, Gardens, etc.). They don't actually impact the deck you are playing.

You aren't doing anything wrong.  These are frustrations the community has had since the beginning.  Maybe they will change things one day, but I wouldn't expect them to in the near future.  You can try downloading the Salvager extension and using Automatch, but Automatch only finds other players who have the extension and are also using Automatch.

And the Salvager extension also does a lot of other cool stuff.

Here's a link for info about the salvager extension if you haven't found it already.
