Is it true that, if you want more people in a game, that if someone leaves and comes back, that the game will be "refreshed" in the sense that it goes to the bottom when searching for games? Also, is it true that if you close and open a slot that it does the same? I'm tired of people saying 낚시 when we're waiting on one more person.

I'm fairly sure a player RJ-ing brings the game back to the top. I absolutely HATE slot-closing, and I don't think that it does anything, either. Even if it did... DO NOT SLOT CLOSE. THERE IS ALMOST NOTHING MORE INFURIATING THEN TRYING TO JOIN A GAME AND SEEING "The game creator has closed all available slots!"

Also, RM-ing is stupid. Just get a player to rejoin.

EDIT: I guess slot closing does work, then.

Slot closing does work. DotA games implement this now regularly for that reason.

Slot closing only works if you close all available slots and then open. What it does is removes your game from the list, since all slots are full or closed, and then when it appears on the list again when you open, it'll be on top of the list.

oohh
makes sense to me

but yeah, it is annoying when you try to join a game that needs people, but cant because you clicked when the creator just closed the slots

are u guys sure that slot closing works?

I was under the impression that it is a warcraft 3 feature, and most people were just stupid enough that they assumed it worked in SC.

I think that's correct. However, you probably have to wait a few seconds for this to work. Because the list has to get updated again (which takes, I don't know, 5 seconds?), otherwise the game remains at its position (or continues to slowly crawl to the top where the oldest games are) and those who want to join get the "game is full" message (meaning the game was NOT removed from the list yet). ~5 seconds is a long time to wait, almost everyone re-opens the slots right away. And then it does nothing at all.

What does work though is when people rejoin (if the game seems "dead"). The moment they leave, lag may be gone and new players are more likely to be able to join.

It only works for those who don't view the list yet, because the list does not remove expired games and new games are added at the bottom -_-

Rejoining definitely refreshes games... closing a single slot doesn't.

It used to work back in the days of dial up. Now lag is usually due to someone downloading or something where almost all the bandwith it taken up so extra high doesn't really help.

I think it does work, rejoining a game puts the game up on the list for people with "black" lists. But for others with the list already reloaded, it remains in the same position.

But the most annoying b.net myth to me is this HIT f4 bullshit. Every 4/10 Korean pub I ran into, they told me to F4 to speed up the download. So annoying. I don't think that even works? I wonder where such a rumor got spread.

People who misunderstood what their peers telling them to press alt-f4 meant.
