    The communities feedback is needed on this idea.

    I had an idea for WGT to make a purple light to let CC players know their playing partners are online and are ready to play their in Club matches.

    A green light means a player is online, and a friend sends an invite for a multi-player game, but sometimes in actuality, the player is just online waiting for a playing partner to get a CC match in.

    The purple light will let all players know they're waiting for their CC playing partner, or a CC vs CC playing partner. This purple light will be easier for each player to identify that they're ready for their match.

    As it is now, players have to give a reason why they can't accept a random invite from a friend, and then a player looks like they're not interested which sometimes leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the person who tried to invite.

    In the end, the purple light will let the community know what it's intentions are for.

    I think it is a great idea.  Couldn't tell you how many times issues had to be resolved because of that very reason.

    It's been suggested before but it is a good idea.

    A sound different and separately controllable would also be nice, no different to ring tones on phones. Latter said before in differing guises.

    I love the idea, just not the color ... I'm color blind, so purple and red are difficult to distinguish ... so are blue and green.

    Will yellow work for you?  With the status colors used, it would work for me!

    Great idea BTW!

    Agreed DK. Any color would work.

    WGT could just change "Ready for Game" (blue) to "Waiting for Scheduled Game"...or some such wording.

     

    Never quite understood the difference (or the need to have) between the blue and green.
