Finally able to get in today........yesterday was nothing but errors.
The new Cabo course isn't that bad, but let's say you were a cable company and had 4 channels of HD shows, all the latest stuff. Do you think we'd be happy with a 5th channel that ran nothing but reruns of Mr Ed? I think you completely missed the point. Yes, we wanted new courses, but courses like the ones we already have, not some inferior product. I know, don't pay to play the course, so I won't........
You could have satisfied 95% of your customers 'desires' for new courses by merely adding 3 more pin placements to your existing holes. Heck, you've already scanned and photographed all the data.....just plug a hole in here or there. There are many holes out there with only 1 pin placement that gets really old, really fast. A few new pin placements would make the course play like a whole new course.
That really should have been your number one priority and would have gone a long way to pacify most of us until Congressional comes out.
Many have already commented on the other issues.....and I'm sure you'll misinterpret those as well and do something else completely contrary to what your paying customers wanted.
Which brings me to the other part of the fiasco. Right after the maintenance and introduction of Cabo CTTH, I'm sure your servers were overwhelmed. I tried to get in and check things out, but could only get to 70% or so again, before the errors started flying. As I've already gone through this a hundred times, I cleaned out all the cache's, rebooted, ran gamebooster, took out the garbage, gave my dog a bath.....etc, etc Of course nothing helped, because, as we all know, the problem is with my PC, not with WGT's servers or bandwidth.
Finally this morning, I get in and can finally see what all the fuss is about. As noted by others, during Cabo CTTH, the meter is/was silky smooth; not even a hint of a skip and the video was solid. I guess not having megabits of HD data to contend with sped things up, I don't know.
Then, since my credits were getting low I decided to run a few RG's to fatten the pot. No go......3 meter skips in the first game cost me 2 birds and one ball. Worst it's ever been. I thought, oh, I'll just load another $20 in the game. Looked into my account history and was shocked to realize in the 3 months I've been here, I've spent $330 already...on a game...!!...and this is what I get? The same problems/complaints without resolution?
I've got enough left for one more sleeve of those over-priced Callaways and then I'm off to visit that "other" site where the annual fee is $30 or so. At least there, the product works as advertised and, although it has inferior graphics, I don't get nickel and dime'd to death every time I turn around.
Loved playing here, the 4 HD courses look great, made a lot of friends - but it's high time I cut my losses and get away from this money-pit.
