  My numbers went from 100% down to 83% in the last 2 days.

  Never quit a single time.  Had four disconnects in blitz that locked the rest of us up, you don't go back to the lobby in non challenge blitz.  Then had the unexpected error that happened after the game was over but before I went back to the lobby.

  Yeah don't play Blitz, it shut me out.

  But I'd like to apologize to the wgt community. I got a little excited about the quit % thing goin down for , whatever reason,,,can't re-enter the game, clowns all leave & % goes down.

  I just went & kicked azz & won a bunch of stroke games & it went back up to 90%! I can see that if I play well and stay with the stroke games,,I should stay a high %.

  This thing may work pretty good afterall & I know I know they have to change the 5 min wait thing c'mon, its a bit too long to wait don't you think?

  But again I'm sorry I sounded so pissed & angry, wgt thanks for the cool changes & we'll work out the bugs in time.

  l've had bad luck with Blitz.  Was at 100% and then got two lock ups and another where someone else quit and other problems (never me, I always finished) and was down to 80%.  They tried a skins game, both other players quit or disconnected, wait 10 minutes (5 min twice) for re-connects and finally it gave me all 9 skins and ended.  I then was down to 77%. I have played 6 more Blitz games and never quit on any of them but the % is only back up to 80%.  It seems like if anyone quits, you don't get credit for completing.  The way they have the % working is half-baked and stupid.  So I dont' blame those who don't want to play players who have low %, it they are having computer problems or are quitting then it might affect your %.

  Alos, I don't like the 5min wait.  1 or 2 minutes should be enough to wait for someone to reconnect who really wants to.  You shouldn't have to wait for someone to reset their modem or shutdown and startup.  Besides, it doesn't really matter, since in my case I hung on and still got dinged 3% when I finally was awarded all of the skins and the game ended before it got started.

  So, I may stop playing for a while until they get this worked out.

  Quitting and getting booted from the game because of WGT problems are 2 different problems. I am saying most players are getting booted from the game. They are not quiting.

   They have had this problem with blitz and alternate shot for a while now. I believe it is in the code written for rejoining the game. They have now put this same code into the Multiplayer game and screwed up the one game I never had problems with.

  Players will continue to quit, find a way to stop the game freezes, when they do quit. Fix the problem, don't replace it with another one. Why a 5 min. wait when someone quits.

  TheGarbageMan:

  When playing in a muliplayer game you could see the quitter in action, one shot in the weeds, lost ball. 3nd shot in the bunker, 4th shot duffed out of the bunker, 5th chip 20ft past the hole, 6th he disconnects. Many times a player would announce he was going to quit because of a bad score, this still wasn't much of a problem, a long as he didn't lock up the game for everyone else. There is the problem!!, fix it so when they do quit the game does not lock up. And do not give him the chance to return, why penalize the others with a 5min wait.

  With this new system they are getting booted starting on the very 1st hole. They are not quitting. Drive in the FW, disconnect. One right after another. This is a game problem. Not the player.  I never had this probem of players getting booted from the game while playing in a multiplayer game. Only in Blitz and AS.

  Hi all,  5 min is a joke for sure, but the old method of finding out a player was a quitter, wasnt working I could go half the night, start 5 games and finish 1. Now at least I can say hey maybe I dont want that guy who has 60% finishes to play with me , I have a choice on who I play and can finish more games. I plat alt but mostly stroke, If they fix the few bugs and set time to 3 min, I think  it would be alot better. and they know when its a disco from there side so that should be an easy fix for them . and there is the prob of the dum#- A%%es who just walk away and then we wait for them to get thrown. like 4 x 90 sec. those guys are the worse ALmost. and no matter what wgt does there will be complaints.

  GOOD DAY
