Name your hosted game

I would love this!!!
Even with my leveling twink, i counted that i was booted 17 times just leveling to 12...nearly every time was for reason: 10 and up, or , no noobs....And to stop those people who are advertising sales in their names, yo could make the names a set chars short. So people couldnt do this
Selling gurgox hammer of the rift and sentinels shotgun of death.
But people could do this:
35 up no boss

Or even better there could be filters like
Level? 5+, 10+. etc.
Bosses? Yes or no
Remake? Yes or no
Then people would know what the game is about before they join and get booted. And you would only be able to boot for a reason that coordinates with the details. So if the details were:

Levels? 35- 57
Bosses? Yes
Remake? No

Then you could only boot for reasons:
Not level 35-57
Kept fighting bosses
Bad language

So you would pick from a list and if you booted somebody that is level 38 from that game, you would be warned and if you did it again in the next [time period], you would be booted from your own game. And if you booted somebody from a game for bad language, the system could scan the chat, and if the booter was saying bad thing, he/she would be booted and if the person attempted to be booted did say something censored, he/she would be booted. And same thing if the booter false booted somebody.

If it worked like this, i think a lost of problems would be solved

I'm quick to boot, and also put people on ignore for just one tell. (my ignore list is pretty long) You could work hard at your revenge thing, I don't care, I just move on and forget about it. Getting booted doesn't bother me. It just means I was the wrong level, or they are saving a spot for someone.

Let's just say, if you are 55 and join my 52 sewer group, you have 5 seconds to leave.

Someone explain this to me, what possible advantage is there to limiting the max level? I can understand having a min level, but a max?

To get scaled drops. For example if you want lvl 51 stuff, it doesn't drop when there's a lvl 55-56 in the room

Was just about to say that you used to be able to, Duped beat me to it.

Sounds like a design flaw to me.

Actually I think there should not be lvl51 or 53 pinks, just 55. Maybe for twinks, but I think normal drops is still ok.

With how fast and easy leveling to 55 is, I would agree. Though I would argue it would be far better for them to adjust the level requirements (so it actually takes more than 2 days to get to 55) and leave in the lower level items (they would then really have a use).

I have a lvl 54 mage. This week I was booted from one game for being too low and another for being too high. I laughed and thought it was funny. People take this game way too serious at times.

As wonderful as naming hosted games sounds, I have to agree with it becoming very abusable

Perhaps making the abuse of this feature bannable?

No making sales advertisements, no inappropriate names (must be stricter than chat, IMO), and no profanity of course.

If players are willing to curse or go against ToS in the names of public games, I don't see why they shouldn't be banned anyway.

Fixed prefixes should work

[Ellyidol]

It definitely would, but would raise the question on how many there would be? Lol

If booting is really an issue because of max level, this class only, this class not wanted, etc, I'm thinking that would take a lot of prefixed names

[nazgulking]

As i said previously, a preset would be set at the beginning. By the time we get accostumed to those, as soon as we need more, we can make constructive polls to add more.

Possible. So like quick chats and load outs? We were supposed to get more of them, I think (loadouts), but hasn't happened yet..

Anyway, on topic, +1 to romgar's idea Tedious, but very satisfying for the last laugh

[xplodnstar]

+1 on prefixes, or some sort of pre-determined naming convention in a drop down box to keep it clean. A list of common purposes for that level, XP run, kill X boss only, item farming, etc. could help us to choose the best game for our purpose.
