Java [Arcade] A problem+a solution.

[remio]

Hey hey, Remi here! I'd like to suggest something about arcade, although I'm not sure whether you're gonna like it or not. At least I'll try.

The problem:
There is a huge problem filling games in Arcade. In my opinion Arcade is a fun minigame with great microgames, but the games (I'm not talking about Mixed Arcade and Slime Survival) do not start because there are simply not enough players who like or play the games. We need a solution for this, because Arcade is dying.

The (possible) solution:
Let players from other microgames automatically join Mixed Arcade. This might be a bit weird, but let me explain.
Example: The players who play Mixed Arcade are about to play Wing Rush. There's only 1 player waiting in the Wing Rush waiting lobby, and the game doesn't fill. Then, the player who waits in the Wing Rush lobby will automatically be teleported to the Mixed Arcade lobby so that everybody who'd like to can play Wing Rush. After that game, the player who joined the Wing Rush waiting lobby will be teleported back, but will get an invite to join the Mixed Arcade lobby to play with other players. Yes, this would mean that that player would have to wait until Wing Rush gets selected again (If they click yes). This happens to every microgame that is in Arcade, if it's about to be played in any Mixed Arcade server. (If this is not clear just ask me to edit it!)

Why?
Arcade is too great to die. It has too many great games that do deserve attention but don't get it. That's why I think this might be a solution to prevent Arcade from dying. I want more players to play Arcade!

If you don't like my idea, it's okay, but then please comment another idea. Or at least explain why you voted no. (And yes, if someone else posts a great idea/comment against my suggestion you can just like that one instead of posting a comment.)

Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you'll like this. Please vote in the poll!

Yes,but I see a problem.

If I'm not wrong there is a in-game leader board (or whatever is called like),so lets supose that you are on wing rush alone and then get teleported to mixed arcade and you win,then you come back to wing rush.Will you conserve your trophies?(I think they are called like that) or will be deleted because you win on the mixed arcade and it stays there ?

You won't get the trophies in the wing rush lobby, but if you'd join the mixed arcade lobby, you'd get the trophies over there. Getting trophies in the wing rush wouldn't really make sense because sometimes you don't win and you have played mixed arcade, and not specifically wing rush. (Do you understand me?)

People will just assume the server glitched and leave. I don't think this is very useful.

I think that if you guys put it in the update book at least some of those people will understand that it wasn't a glitch, but the teleportation was done on purpose.

look very very oldchool

I play arcade a lot, it's a fun game. I like your suggestion, but I agree with Tacos. People will think it's bugged or something.
Another option is removing the single games so you can only play mixed arcade. You can still choose what game you want by right-clicking the mixed arcade stand. But idk if this is a good idea and if it's gonna work.

I suggest to add a teleportation message, like this:

What do you mean?

This would be a pretty efficient way to counter the lack of players. I like it.

What about if u are waiting on ur friends to join the game lobby u are in? Or maybe u don't wanna join mixed? Then there should be a cancel option or a text saying there is a game of the game u are waiting on in mixed, so u can choose if u wanna join or not.

Done.
