    WGTShamWow:
    Just wanted to post an update on whats going on

    Much appreciated, thank you.

    WGTShamWow:
    Was just advised that our Q/A team

    QA team?   Your Quality Assurance team is the one handling site coding? seriously?

    Or are they the ones reporting on what the Developers have told them?

    This incorrect feedback although it might be semantics to you , leaves further concern in my mind.
    Please clarify.
    or dont..  if you really dont care what people make of your 'update'  then it isnt worth the pixels it was typed on is it?

    I would suggest that WGT outsource the adequate help and fix the site as much as can be fixed.... for now.
    Because lets face it, your "Q/A" team really isn't cutting the mustard is it?

    WGTShamWow:
    the camera zoom bug


    Which involves;

    • incorrect default camera when clicking 'zoom'
    • Incorrect camera used on most approach shots.
    • Camera flip between views when a player arrives at his shot
    • Camera sounds and chat box focus shifted on above instances

    WGTShamWow:
    instant replay crash

    WGTShamWow:
    fixes should be released in a few days


    A few days?
    I suppose this is to be expected if the blo0dy QUALITY ASSURANCE team are the ones working on it! But since it would be all within the same parameters in the coding it really shouldn't take that long and I feel you are just buying time because NO ONE has a CLUE as to what happened, right?

    WGTShamWow:
    a no downtime release and we will provide more information when it becomes available to us.


    Yep, 'on the fly'  fixes/ patches that may or may not work, until the results become available to you.
    Via more dissent in the forums?

    WGTShamWow:
    Once the release is live, you will need to close the browser window and reopen it for it to take effect. 

    Well with the excellent communication WGT has with the community at the moment, this will probably be an accidental discovery by most users and with the Q/A Teams track record in doing this coding, we will expect more issues, wont we?

    WGTShamWow:
    Thanks again everyone for being so patient with these last couple of issues. 


    I have personally largely stayed away from these forums due to the pointless dribble we kept getting fed here - the constant garbage we put up with, for 4 years I have seen users come and go with the same old tiring complaints - the same old inadequate fixes and replies.
    N00bs with the same old questions time after time , day after day  - a FAQ that isnt updated and also has incorrect information.

    My patience is all about run out , time to put some ire back into these forums again and stop the wishy washy mamby pambering thats been evident lately.

    We have no choice other than to walk away from the game, and because many of us have put hundreds of dollars (and a lot more)  towards this cokamamie farce of a game, walking away is a difficult thing to do!


    If I weren't the owner of a successful club here, I would probably walk away.
    With dozens of members all coming to me for answers in our own forums - i have this garbage to relay on to them. I also have to remain positive in the darkness and appease my members on your behalf , like many other owners do.

    We hope that each release brings with it a complete sweep of the old garbage we have had to endure and discover a brilliant update with most if not all bugs and wankfests removed.

    But it doesn't happen, there is no WOW, its all a SHAM.

    So WGTSham while you are trying to appease us with your "Q/A"  phrase from the Sales Team.
    Is there no reflection on the other issues in which have gotten the ire of the community? Is that it?
    Is there no sense of altruism at all from WGT?

    Since NBC bought you out , dont they have any increased vision for the game at all?
    Or did Chad and his minions provide them the same BS you are giving us now?

    A facade of brilliance hiding a hell hole of problems?

    Perhaps the "Q/A Team"   has a little phrase you can use for us on these other pending issues?

    WGTShamWow:
    All the Best,

    Seriously?  
    Are you still being paid WGTSham? or have you taken a reduction in lieu of how the community is feeling and really want to display a hear felt  Group Hug for us all?

    Pfft. You are all as pathetic as each other.

    Once for a week , about a year ago.. it all seemed good, even the forums were mostly positive..  but sure enough WGT had to F*ck it up again.

    Like someone else said the other day - if it were an error with Buying Credits or Pro Shop sales, the fixes would be IMMEDIATE.
    There would be no "Q/A Team" on it , you would probably outsource the adequate help!
    I would suggest that at any time the Credit Purchase facility started dumping out double the credits purchased, you will find no Heart Felt apologies or warm Group Hugs from any of us.

    Bah...   carry on.... 
    at least you are good at getting us to bend over for you AND supply our own KY

     

    /end rant

    Edit:  I have an answer for WGT - rebuild the site using technology from this decade - dont use Flash at all.  Most of your problems will be over.
    I for one would be happy to wait a couple of months until it is complete.

    But this meter is not smooth no matter what I do now. Before this last update the thing ran pretty smooth.

    I feel your pain man.  Myself, friends (some not all), and many many others on this site are having the same exact problem.  I went from a PERFECT meter to an impossible meter.  Mine goes as far as dissapear/reappear, super man jumps (skips part of the meter entirely, to include at the Ding), etc etc etc.  I'v e re-tried around 7 browsers and it's the same with them all.

    My game is quite unplayable.  I have no choice but to wait for all this crap to be fixed.  I've tried playing multiple times but its impossible.

    I couldn't agree more - I have had more issues with WGT since Chrome and Firefox decided to start their "war" on Adobe Flash...

    On a side note, it cracks me up to see people complaining about their averages, and how they shot 10 under in a front 9 on this course, or how they had a 52 average. HOW IS THIS EVEN "REAL" GOLF ANYMORE???

    There have been how many rounds of 59 in real life by how many players? Meanwhile here in WGT, I can't sniff the top 2-300 of a tournament because of the sheer number of players posting rounds in the 50's... it's just stupid, and makes me more than happy to stay a "Master" - my clubs are good enough, and I shoot enough under par rounds that it still feels "real".

    Here's why that's a problem for WGT - I have no need nor desire to get better. I like where I am. I don't need to buy balls, and I won't be buying anymore clubs. I've given about $30 to this site, and that's where it ends.

    ... I could quote the entire post SHRUDE so fun and good it is. Thanks for coming in the dance organized by the circus! Now, after a long and hard day of work, if I need to relax and laugh, I just log on and go straight to the forum...forget about the game, way less interesting and definitely below everything regarding the fun! Please WGT, give me some more, I can't wait for the next release and read my fellow players reacting.

    Thank you all of you for all these laughters

    Good point - it may keep you a happy camper for a long time.

    If I may give you an adivice: Legend tier requires better clubs to stay happy. Therefore, avoid 63- / 31- scores or better to count towards your average and avoid 60-/30- as a future Tour Master at all costs - they might accumulate to push you to higher tiers.

    The easiest way to come to grips with all the low scores here is,  Because this a puter game, you basically take off 10 shots from the real golf pro's. Eg The real golfers will be shooting 60-70 whilst Wgt players will be shooting 50-60.
