    Just curious...

    When running the Launcher and go to your Country Club home page, has there always been Player Chat feature? I just recently noticed this. Looks primitive but a nice feature nonetheless.

    One note on this... I try to get club members to not use it. Although it works well on mobile, most of the time I can't post on it using my PC. I think out of 10+ times it has worked once for me. I end up having to log in on my phone and guide members to the forum.

    I am hoping they will eventually get a decent way to message using the new platform.

    gimmickry.

    Think of the fun Andyson would be having with all this . 

    OPY 

    VEM9000 would definitely have an opinion here, lol

     

    Sample conversation:

    Andyson: "So, good morning, VEM, I see there was an update last evening."

    VEM9000: "That's right, Andy; we are very proud of our latest apparel offerings, and there is a lovely new 3 wood option."

    A: "You know, VEM, there has been a lot of discussion in the forums for some time now about the multi-player issues in the new launcher version..."

    VEM: "Yes, Andy, we are aware, however, may I point you towards the visual improvements that you can enjoy in our coin rooms?"

    A: "VEM, our long time "flash" players are not all that keen on the Coin Room aspect of the "new" WGT, just sayin..."

    VEM: "Ah, yes Andy, while we respect and appreciate our long-time players, we must consider the future is not just those old farts, uh hemm, mature players..."

    A: "VEM, those mature players are the bedrock of the game, if you lose them, the future of WGT is mobile players who become level 100 plus Legends with averages over 70, who use the 45 second timer in Coin Rooms to defeat more advanced "flash players" via timeouts."

    VEM: "Yes, Andy the 45 second timer is our way of leveling the field as we merge our platforms, it seemed only fair..."

    A: "So, you are not at all concerned, VEM, that ball useage is down due to the challenges of arranging multi-player games, and many stalwarts of the game will simply move on?"

    VEM: "Daisy, Daisy, Day  zee, D   u ay zeeeeeeee"

    I disagree. It works in that you can type a message, but it moves down instead of up. So each new message appears above the last message. And since it is limited in character space, if you are typing a long message you’ll have to split it into two messages with the new one appearing above and not below so it reads extremely weird.  Probably easier to just add a pair of pants.

    Firstmrmax:

    Is the billboard still still big as ever?  How about the reverse view so we don't have to 

    "WATCHING OPPONENT or TEAMMATE.   Is the chat window still humongous?

    Do you still have  to click and unclick every thing?

    Why don't they fix this real stuff instead of playing dress up with new clothes. Hard to believe people care enough to spend money on their avatar  looking stylish in a video game.  Even if I wanted nicer clothes , I won't and dont' because it screws my yardages in the only multiplayer game you can consistently get; the coin games. I wear the free joker hat for clown golf.  I have no idea what the exploding "Apparel Pack" is good for, just a waste of time?

    I would rather spend money to get a smaller chat window, be able to make the billboard go away but still be able to move the aimer.  Maybe that's what they are working towards.  How much would you pay to be able to play an AS, Matchplay or Skins game?

    OMG OMG OMG !!!

    Am I reading this correctly?

    Did JD just say something POSITIVE about this game?

     

    Be right back, I need to check to see if Hell has frozen over.

    EDIT: After seeing them a few more times, I feel there is WAY too much blue. LOL

    I disagree.

    I should have clarified that. I meant at least it works on mobile, but you are right. It is a horrible message system. Saying it worked "well on mobile" was just comparing it to PC where it mostly doesn't work at all.

    On another note... I missed you last week on the Tour. I hope you start playing again. The next tournament starts Monday. And if you post a round this week, you will also have an established handicap, making you eligible to play in the pebble Beach Pro-Am too. That also starts Monday.

    Sorry to Disappoint Don... But I was being sarcastic as the Fred Sanford SMH Gif would hopefully indicate...

    But in all seriousness I say plenty of good things about our loved game ...They HAVE made Improvements on the launcher since its inception for sure ...AND I have posted on here recently about how I was DEAD WRONG about the fact that I would ever like the Launcher....I wouldn't play flash now even if they brought it back!! 

    But the fact that nobody has even responded to the massive Issue #1. of the inability to get a Random multiplayer game in every format except "Coin Crush" rooms (That's a play on words from Candy Crush BTW) Because there about as monotonous as playing Candy Crush 😲...Combined with #2. The friends list issue......It is just soooooooooooo Frustrating....I'm afraid these 2 BIG problems will get swept under the rug like the other issues that never got fixed ..... I.E: The massive "Billboard" STILL on the green when we put or the constant pop-up's on the green so we can't even see the putt roll out because of a giant "EXCELENT" on the screen cause I hit a ding? And there are other older issue's that many have stated ....Now how long were those problems being mentioned on the forum? I'll tell ya ...Long enough that most gave up on the thought they will ever be fixed...But at least those issue's are livable...  But issue's 1 & 2...They are far worse and are "actually" causing people to abandon WGT (or at minimum stop playing till they get addressed) 

    But we get updates to add a 3wood and a free shirt and a few unneeded  cosmetic adjustments to leaderboards and scorecards... I Just don't get it???
