with only 2 very busy programmers, a break for winter (they have families too yah know), and a great deal of other top-secret work on their desks?

I think not.

I don't see this being such a difficult thing to implement. If you have huge tasks ahead but also small problems it's easier and more efficient to fix the small problems first. With all of those out of the way you can focus 100% on the "big thing" with some small time loss instead of focusing 100% on "the big thing" and have lots of small problems/bugs that will haunt the game for months as they work on their "big thing".

Invalid argument my friend,
Holidays aside though I hope this is fixed after new years.

I know, I'm just saying that its a tad ridiculuos to start getting mad about it getting implemented NOW, but it is a pretty easy feature, and very useful. Just saying that it probably isn't going to be much use checking the KF update news every other hour, but it seems like a nice, and likely, addition.

Of course not much is going to be done during the holidays although there is some terrible performance bugs atm but I really think this feature is something basic.

But I also understand TWI isn't the largest of companies and that it has other games. I just hope our ideas are read and noted and hopefully, implemented.

It does however seem that this function should had been available from start. as Long games are the only ones that net achievements (and feel like the real game).

Great idea! Current wave filtering is also be good. It's very stupid to join the game on final wave, just giving patriarch more hp and fresh meat to eat.

Yeh, these filtering ideas are all really fgood and allow much more control over what we are entering, and I don;t believe that they could take that long to make, maybe a couple of hours with a couple of people working on it tops? It should definitely be implemented, going through servers is so tedious...

But I wouldn't die if it weren't added, it would simply be a luxury :p

Lots of things could and should be implemented into KF besides this idea. But then again KF has had its rise and even though new customers are coming in each day I think TWI might be saving themselves for a KF2 or something of the sorts after RO:HoS is done and patched a few times.

This is such a good suggestion. I really hate long games, it is basically boring until wave 5 when Scrakes start to come. Medium games are perfect, I wish more people played them.

I play long games for one reason and one reason only; achievements.

Once I have them all I'd probably start playing some medium games as long games can be tedious...

But I would never stoop so low as to play a short game.

Achievements are irrelevant to me. They should put some medium game achievements so all the people who care about worthless achievements have a reason to play medium games.
