Priesum:
I have been out of the CC scene for a little while now due to extensive work commitment.
Hoping to be back to "normal" soon and just wondered if any of the CC owners could take the time to look at the original wish list and provide me with an update on what has been implemented and what is still outstanding?
For ease of reference, here is the original list:
CC Forum related suggestion
**Ability to "stick" a forum post to where it always remains topmost (first page).
WGT: 06-17-2014: I wish we had a much better forum and cc forum, but we transferring all the posts from this system to a new one scares the hell out of us
**Ability to delete multiple forum posts
**Ability for members to NOT have first posts in club forums moderated
**Ability for owners/officers to receive emails on ANY new Forum posts.
**Forum Categories (like wgt categories) perhaps 3 "sections"
**Ability merge an existing post into an existing thread
**Replacing missing club forum threads
**Allow Search function in CC forums
CC Owner Tools related suggestion
buttons to make setting up CC vs CC tourneys easier
**Change the DATE format in the game from MONTH / DAY / YEAR to YEAR / MONTH / DAY.
**Ability for owners to delegate optional owners privileges to 'co-owners'.
**fix CC email
**Ability to format text in Club emails
Ability to select multiple members for options such as 1. send messages and 2. remove from club
Club ownership exchange seems to have bugs where some tools disappear.
WGT: 06-25-2014: note we are looking into this
Make a Country Club "Wall"
Ability to remove club from 'lists of clubs looking for members' but to retain the ability to invite.
**Ability to change CClub image (banner)
**Ability to upload unique Club Trophy for Tournaments
Ability to create premium tourneys for trophy only - feature exists but is broken. This would place credits into an owner's fund' to help fund prizes for tourneys
**Ability to send out a message through wgt messages instead of having them send it directly to members email address
WGT: 07/08/2014: I will make the in game message suggestion to the product team.
CC Tourney related suggestion
Increase number of free tourneys from 10 to at least 15
WGT: 06-17-2014: we are working on this feature
Ability for the CC owner to remove a tournament or at least change the settings, if needed
WGT: 06-17-2014: Once a tourney has started there is no way to change the settings,
Possibility of having a club bank to draw from for club sponsored tourneys
Ability to create "sponsored" free to enter credit/gift tournaments.(owner or members can create a "pot" for members to play and win without entrance fee)
Have multi player tournaments (AS, MP etc)
CC tourneys by invitation only
Simple method to challenge other CC to matches
The ability to select more preferences (eg male only, female only) for the CC tourney
The option to 'hide leaderboard' in club tourneys
Tier, level, membership duration and earnings based tourney entry options
Ability to send a “reminder” to play CC bracket tourney to all entrants by link from tourney leaderboard
Fix issue with email sent to complete bracket within 30 mins. Ability to create smaller Bracket tourney (8 slots). Ability to “clear” (bye) unfilled bracket slots.
WGT 06-15-2014: we are looking in the fixing the email 30 min issue. And have added to the to do list a way to clear unfilled brackets and smaller participant numbers, but those feature could take awhile.
Being able to set tees and play a/s or best ball for a tourney option
Ability to set up a 4 round tournament that last a month (7 days each round), give people more time to complete the whole tournament
Add subheadings to CC tournaments. EG: Stroke Play – championship series, feature tournament, Others/Practice etc.
Introduce “deadline to CC Bracket tourneys so that tournament can go ahead even if not full
Ability to schedule CC tournaments in advance
The ability to cancel a Premium CC Tournament if the number of entrants is low (i.e. refund the entrance fee)
The ability to determine what clubs are used in a CC Tourney i.e. eligibility for the competitions criteria
WGT 06-27-2013 2:15 PM: I would not be surprised to see this in one of the near future updates
Ability to invite non-members to specific CC tourneys
Have limitations on the amount of attempts at CTTH CC events
Misc Suggestions
Club Profile Icon on Members Stand Bags
Provide a list of the CC members currently online
CC Menu options within a members Profile page
CC members highlighted in “status box”
**A Country Club based 19th hole/starter/waiting room (chat area) that can be used to arrange games, agree tee times etc
Increase number of “friends”-slots / have CC members as a separate list (not using up available “friend” space.
Limit access to CC membership to rank Pro and above
Allow club profile emblem on members bags
See players status while on CC Home page
Could we have a friend request button on each players entry on CC members list?
Include CC membership in player “short” profile (in-game).
Clicking "back" in a CC tourney category still kicks me back to the main window - why not to the new intermediate CC window
New status in lobby: “Available to CC members only”
General comments from WGT (CC related)
03-22-2013 4:20 PM: I can tell you one thing though: we do have plans to bring improvements to country clubs in the near future, so please stay tuned for that.
06-14-2014 9:57 PM: Here are the main features we are addressing in the near future:
- enhancing country clubs - give the owners more tools
Please either reply by pm or in this thread.
Thanks
Kelly, MBDTK
This is quite a list, with many good ideas. Chances are WGT will not spend the time or effort to implement many of these ideas.
My club owner Stryder1261 Just4Fun - The Survivors, has set up an outside WGT forum for us to use.
I edited your quoted post with double ** for the items that can be resolved immediately by using an outside forum site. The software is free and the costs for a server run between $5 - $10 USD per month. These are "simple" things to do on a standard forum template and require little or no programming knowledge.
Another site to lo look at is WGTLadders. This owner is using the same free forum software but has done extensive modifications to get many more of the "bells and whistles" you are looking for. LInk: http://www.wgtls.co.uk
I am not disagreeing with you that Country Club improvements are needed, but I believe that we will find owners are going to have to go outside WGT to find these solutions themselves and hope WGT will concentrate and fix the issues regarding gameplay and integral game issues.
....Just my 2 cents,
- Mark
....btw I wish I could have an automatic "signature" to all my forum posts.
