Sometimes when I invite some other player for a 2v2 - or they invite me - for some reason one of us is not picking up the invite call.
When I see the invite while playing another match, I’d like to send them a quick reply as in “in a game, will be ready soon”.
Either add a global in-game messaging system or add some further options to reply besides accept and decline - such as the “one moment, in a game” response, but abbreviated to something more concise.
I don’t quite understand your response if I am being honest - yeah my suggestion would be basically have forum DMs for the actual game. An alternative could be to display some sort of status of “in a game right now” in-game. But since the forum and the actual game are separate entities, it would be quite annoying to switch from the game to the forum just to send a message or notification if you can do that directly in-game. Adding to that, not everyone in the game also joined the forum.
Edit: OK reading again makes sense now: You suggest people to guide to and join the forum. That would be nice, but I don’t think everyone will follow that small red notification to join the forum - and until every of my 2v2 teammates joins the forum I’d be left with bad communication during times trying to join a 2v2 team
