  Romax:

  This game is pretty much Fkd. I have played here since Feb 2011 and have seen some glitches and game problems, but never at this magnitude.

  I am seriously thinking there is someone fking this game up on purpose... Not even WGT could fk anything up this bad, so there must be some external force being exerted here.I play here to be with friends and chat about kids birthdays....trips on holidays...who is sick and who is well and all the other personal day to day stuff. That has all ended now, with friend invites gone . April 1 is my exit date, if nothing changes by then.

  I know, I know, I have said this before many times in various forum discussions , but it still rings true for me.

  Been here long time, not the best at any particular part of the game, but I do pay rapt attention to what goes on as it affects me with this game.

  I learned early on that their are many individuals playing here who have written time and again how to get your game on track, (meter,dots, etc.) and I have followed their instructions (as best a novice can), advice, example.

   At this time I recently suffered through the putting dots debacle, and the next day the unplayable meter.  Took 2 days for the meter, and as of today the dot thing may be fixed.

  The conspiracy folks here at WGT are making rude noises again!  How about that grassy knoll thing?  These entries are so out of whack as to not be worthy of an intelligent response.

  I have assumed over time that the WGT moderators do not put anything questionable on the forums for really good reasons.  No news is better than bad, or questionable news.  If the persons making all the fuss would go back and re-read  some of these entries, I am sure they would find them to be unfounded, overly critical, and downright amusing.

  I can not prove this but I think that who your internet carrier is  can be very important as to how well or how badly the game  plays.

  Remember it is a video game over the internet.  Enjoy it for what it is make friends, and have fun!     my nickle.

  ps:  I do not work for WGT!!!!! lol.

   

  I sincerely doubt anyone was expecting an "intelligent response" from you Nickleman. There is some bizzare stuff happening on WGT, but that would just be too over the top.

  As a matter of interest, I had an automotive supplier whose product quality plummeted in a short span of time. It got to the point that we were asking for 2 units in each box to increase the chances of one working.! It was later discovered that a competitor had paid off line workers to purposely botch rebuilds. So...This chit happens when there is $$ involved, and there is lots of $$ involved here. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that a WGT "mole" is behind this mess ?  It just seems odd to me that WGT could put such a great product on the market and have it go so bad.

  I have no monetary amount on my response..... unless $0 spent here anymore counts.

  Oh, come on !! WGT mole is appearing now, or maybe someone getting a payoff to ruin this game. I must admit I thought the same thing the other night, then looked at my whiskey bottle ........ it was half empty !! Amazing how a large amount of my favorite drink will addle my brain !!

  I think by the deafening silence from nearly everyone else that we can discount this fanciful theory. It is just a bug in the programming, that has unfortunately appeared and its taking a long time to sort out. 

  I like everyone else hope its sorted out very soon

  Can i add to the wishing list another problem? (the dot speed problem i believe is almost resolved judging the dot speed for the last couple of days. Not sure if it is as the way before but is close enough..)

  How about the different views using the two cameras? I have pointed that out in another thread, unfortunately with no response. It's virtually and practically impossible to be 2 different breaks no matter the angle you are looking the putt. If there is left to right break can't be at the same time a right to left break if you look up from a different angle. This thing has become mostly annoying in the past 3-4 months. I don't remember encountering before these sort of problems. Plus the frequency of these bad views is raising over the time. In this situation you can only guess or remember which break is the real one. No, it's not true that the back camera always is telling the truth (have missed many putts by relying on its reading). If you can't read the putt, there is no way to have a chance to hole it...it's so irritating.

  The cc button on the 9th and extras still does not work for alt games.

  Good luck to all of you and enjoy what you can get out of it. As for myself who know's. I'd rather play with my grandsons!

  * Taps playing in the back ground. 

  Sad but we are all to familiar reading these kind of post from vet players who at one time were the back bone to the game. The beginning of the end has been coming for some time now. Most all of the excitement playing this game has been slooowly removed over the years. WGT took a very good game with a great concept and design and just couldn't LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.  WGT kept adding and subtracting and dividend and multiplying update after update , new feature after new feature, level after level , tier after tier, and on and on and on,,,,YOU JUST NEVER STOPPED WGT! 

  In the beginning before all this garbage of levels, tiers, MONEY GRABBING POWER BOOST, (I'll stop here)  back when the game had a very basic yet challenging concept, THAT'S when the game was fun, exciting, challenging and REAL. 

  NOW, for the new comer,,,,,FORGET IT! The task that lies ahead of the  just to compete at a low level is freaking ridiculous. Just the money alone MOST people can not afford to invest not including the amount of time. WGT's new comer ratio, lets say 100 new players who stay to reach a Legend tier has got to be "at best"  maaaybe 2% out of that 100.  Seriously. Between alllllll the money they have to spend and allllll the time just to reach certain levels has to be complete and  absolutely turn off. 

  I have said it repeatedly over the years - WGT,,,YOU JUST NEVER STOPPED.

  I dont know. Ya know what Romax,,,find out if Chad increased his Mole insurance on his WGT Sabotage Insurance. If so, we could be on to something,,,hmmm. 

  Until the next episode of "The Mole who Lurks inside WGT" Stay tuned folks.

  hi

  no updates are usually done on Tuesday or Wednesday night. others are considered emergency and we can also do some of them on the fly. it will depend on the type of a fix when it can come.

  as for the other comments: if I misread something or forgot to follow up or clarify on an issue, please contact me privately and I will do so.

  -wgticon

  Is it simply the difference in the view that causes the dots to look like they're moving at a different speed when you switch from the forward to reverse view of the hole? Kind of hard to know the relative speed of the break.

  fatdan, you have again made assumptions, not apparent in my response to your first arrogant answer.

  If my % of one putts is low, in your opinion,  that still does not mean I do not recognize where to be on the green.  Arrogance?  

  As you indicate execution may be the only valid assessment of a players worth.  Your Arrogant words not mine.

  My comment about conspiracy theorist was intended for This thread.

   I do not deal with bull krap.  I do not start it, nor do I continue that which belongs to some one else.  Again Arrogance!

  Hmm, crawfish?  I am usually very specific in what I say, so I do not understand this comment.

  You have made the assumption that because my one putt % is not up to your standards that I do not care what the dots do.  Of course I am concerned, how can a player do their best if the information given to them is incorrect?

  Yes, my equipment is good enough for the caliber of player that I am.  That does not mean that if my equipment was better that I could not do better, another Arrogant assumption on your part.

  "Your equipment is more than good enough so save it, and if I hit the ding, I missed the shot I was trying to hit 95% of the time...."  Well if you have a need to brag on your own abilities then by all means do so, it confirms your Arrogance.

  MY nickle.

  Romax:  I always make any comment on the forums concerning conspiracies to be intended as a put down for the thought, not the player who made it.

   If you choose to continue to make derogatory personal comments you just go right ahead.  I will not respond to personal remarks.  I do not intend to be thought of as being on the same level as the other person.

  my nickle.
