    Default Joining the right mission

    When I hit the "new game button" it brings you to the screen with a list of all the instances happening right now. The problem is that the vast majority of the instances at any given time are maybe the first 9 levels. But my character is more interested in playing levels from the first expansion in the Dark Forest, i.e. levels 13-17 or so.

    So my question: is there a way to filter that list? They don't seem to be sorted really. When I tap the "name" and enter "13" for example, nothing comes up; I assume thats a way to search for an instance based on a name the creator gives it such as "Bob's Game". And tapping on "level" and entering 13 doesn't do anything, and there's no way to hit enter/return or next, unless I'm blind. That just seems to be broken. I found that you can scroll way down and start to find some of the higher levels, but you still have to visually scan for the particular instance you want. Am I missing something here?

    Also, to add to this, when searching for a minimum lvl, it brings up the keypad, and not the keyboard. There's no way to properly de-select that I can find.
    Characters:

    Archer - Reisclef

    Enchantress - Felox

    Warrior - Invertor

    Yes I was talking about the iPhone (and iTouch probably too).

    The game list is sorted by "completion ratio", or how far along the dungeon is (the thought was you didn't want to enter a game that was almost finished). That worked great when we had 10 dungeons in the list in testing, but not with hundreds as we see on live. Next Apple submission will allow you to filter by name, level (fixed, really), campaign, and sort ascending/descending by each of these filters.
