    Only a coward would pee on someone's wall and then block him so any response or explanation is impossible.  Like the guy that flips you off as he's exiting the freeway  

    I know, I know.  You had me blocked so you wouldn't have to bear the shame of declining my challenges. It's OK to be scared.  Many are.

    Ok. You can talk to yourself now. You deserve no more of my time.  I'm done with you.

    KYLANDER:

    CT, here it is why:

    • nearly every 4some game (alternate f.e.) will not finish, because people unable to relog

    • if U play 18 holes single, u will have at least 2 times when meter runs through, taking ur ball to the right, in water or deep ***. U will lose 4 strokes at least, and at least one ball.

    • I wrote several times to WGT on that issue in the last 6 weeks - guess what? Right, no answer. If I would handle my clients like WGT does, I would be out of business...

    • this game is built in "Flash", a software Steve Jobs refused to have on ipads and iphones, because it is full of "bugs". Adobe, the publisher, stopped developing "Flash" officially in 2011, 5 years ago...

    • I have sustainable knowledge of IT technologies. I played this game in LAN-mode (ethernet direct), not WLAN, with a wired mouse (not a wireless one), using 7 different browsers, including flash friendly ones like Stainless or Maxthon, clearing browser history and caches after each game. 

    • within the top 200 ranked, i know my skills and my own failures. Have made 665 "friends" here, and people describe me as friendly, warm-hearted and encouraging. I play alternate with master level folks, encouraging them and giving them hints on green speed or club selection, if they want.

    • WGT does not take care of game performance. The old owners were focussing on gadgets and silly add-ons like sounds, developing power was mainly focussed on mobile platforms (tablets). The new owners do not care at all, they just want to transit the software to their Top Golf fun parks.

    • many, many players left in the last 2 months without notice, being fed up with the way WGT handles issues. The only "answer" of WGT is more promotions, more clash games, more discount if U buy credits, and so on.

    • if it would be my company, I would listen to my customers. Work hard on game experience, getting rid of "fancies", getting back to the state of solid, which was around 18 months ago (when everything was fine, game was nearly bug free). But they don't care...

    Why shall I? This game is no longer based on skill, but on luck, when and how the "glitches" happen... I lost many games due to glitches recently, and nearly never could finish an alternate game, which takes a lot of time and then is just a waist of time...

    Truly disappointed of a leisure experience, which was great for many years, but now it is only a "joke", and a real bad one...

    Cheers, Kylander

    I have to agree with everything said by Kylander.

    Have enjoyed the Game for many years but it is turning worse over the years.

    Fancy upgreades and flashy Texts that make me question the commen sense of the people in charge.

    The attack on Kylanders post in this forum, is  imature childish and without any factual merit.

    With the more recently releast competitions in the field, it would be wise for WGT to start listening to its customers while they still have some.

    Amazing how fast and deep something like this can degrade.   lol.  

    In my best Southern drawl (more ol' Virginny than Ole Miss) ..."I do declare gentlemen that the spirit of this conversation has been broken, lost and is now irretrievable." 

    I have a Mac.  I use Chrome.  I do my regular housekeeping.  For the most part, things work just fine.  When it doesn't, I b***h and moan, and then I start over.  Big deal.  Get a grip people. It's a virtual golf game.

    good thread but to many dipsht posers hijacking it.

    WGT game is a glitchy mess, you hit the nail on the head.

    The introduction of 2 disconnect disqualification sums up WGT priorities.  

    I much prefer a 2 disconnect disqualification idea, but when the game rarely allows you to get through a game without 2 its a fkin stupid introduction.

    Nobody will play a 30sec clock anymore and I can't fkin blame them... and i love the quick games.

    stevietwotimes:

    back to the topic :)

    all mac users are having the same trouble with flash and we are sick of it :)

    WGT deny theres anything wrong with the platform..

    My Macs are working just fine,I do have a problem with firefox and meter running to far right after clicking but moving to Maxthon solved that problem.

    You see, anyone who makes the mistake of playing me, does not have a choice:  The only fun they can have is trying to halve the hole. Therefore, I inform them they are in for some 'halve fun'.

    Get it NOW, Einstein?

    With that pitiful record against TLs and only a decent record against the rest, you must be joking, right? Either that, or should we start calling you Henry the 2nd?
