CarbonPoker.ag Tournament Improvement Thread

Why is it that the rebuy's pay 15 instead of 18?

Could this be fixed please? Thank you.

Thats usually based on player pool, not rebuys

The rebuy tournaments payout 15 for the same number of players that pay out 18 in a regular tournament.

What we (myself included), have thought would be simple fixes, typically end up being far more in depth and difficult to code than others that would seem far more difficult.

Also, just because one site offers a feature or service, does not mean that every site can offer it. Each sites system is very different, and there is absolutely no connection from one to the other in these instances.

i'm sorry, but auto rebuy is extremely easy to implement since you already have the rebuy functionality in place... This non-sense may work with people are computer illiterate, but get real...

if you can't quickly implement this feature you have wasted a lot of money on poor engineering. A few columns added to your tables in your DB to tell wether or not it is a rebuy a tournament a setting in the settings for your players to enable and disable and then a check when a player busts from said tournaments...

if tournament = rebuy and player_flag = true then
auto_rebuy
else end if

i mean really we're not talking about rocket surgery here.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not even close to as simple as that. Ryan and I both agree it's an issue, and should be fixed, but it's flat out not that simple.

it really is

maybe you should hire me to develop your client or at least be the project manager for it.

obviously the syntax for what i wrote is not correct for java or whatever language the client is in(i'm pretty sure its some type of java wrapper garbage), but any programmer worth his salt could have implemented this feature by now.

priorities just aren't what they should be.. you guys seem to be more worried about bells and whistles...

do you guys use agile development methods or any other development methods or do your devs just get to work all willy nilly? If you are using agile why not update us with scrum notes, stand up notes, sprints, etc?

if you're not using agile development methods why? Konbon boards, something... you guys just don't seem to be engineers or really understand engineering in the slightest.

Again, these issues aren't as simple as they appear from the outside. Auto-rebuy is an issue only Merge can fix, we have no control over it. The issue applies to every skin on the network. If any skin could fix, us included, we would have. Widgets on the other hand, are something we can develop in house, exclusively for our players, to make their experience with us better. Completely completely different.

chris i dont think anyone is speaking to carbon directly, its just that you guys have the most contact with merge so we discuss it with you... i am in no way blaming this on Carbon or BCP or any other skin...

Just merge in general.

But if a player is getting upset at us making widgets, then that is directed at Carbon. So I'm just trying to clarify what we have direct control over and what we don't.

Carbon has a lot of contact with Merge guys yeah? Why can't you explain to them this infinite dilly dallying is not acceptable, you are paying them to do a job and they're doing a poor job. Sure seems like no one is watching over them...Someone needs to bring in a project leader to rally the troops or bring in a few new guys. If this programming crew worked just about anywhere else they would've fired long ago

Your programmers sit around smoking weed all day imo

Feel free to PM or email me your CV, and I will forward it along to Merge for consideration.

Its all good and well for everyone to speculate on how simple a process may be when you have absolutely no context of any kind.

We appreciate that, and pass along everyones suggestions, feedback and concerns. There is simply no benefit to continuing to harp on issues that we have already time and time again identified as issues that are being worked on but are not as simple to fix as they seem.

As above.

Sorry, but no.... worked on? People have been coming to these forums in droves and suggested/complained about this feature since I joined you guys post BF and I'd bet good money they were doing it before.

Merge is costing themselves money and costing the customers happiness! I don't mean to be angry esp not with you Mr. Helpful but it's like a bad dream or something

[CarbonChris]

LOTS of assumptions being made about how easy things are, people's work ethic, how the backend of a system they've never seen works, etc.

[JayA]

I understand that we may be making assumptions, especially those of us who are computer literate and have some experience with coding. But the fact that Stars and Tilt had these features way before Black Friday, and Merge still doesn't have these features. Usually when a company cannot keep up, there is a reason. And the reason here has to be blamed on the development team, unless they aren't receiving the message.

We aren't blaming you in particular; we just want the message to get through to the developers.

I stand by what I said earlier: I will not play Maximus events until it becomes easier to find satellites, there are auto-rebuys in place, and some of the other issues can be fixed. I urge others to do the same. It seems to be the only way to grab the attention of Merge.

[CarbonRyan]

Hi all,

I just got this message from Merge:

Satellites - Filters were recently improved so that Satellites would / could be found easier. Is there something specific not allowing players to find them?

Rebuys - Currently being worked on and we hope to have news on the fixes very soon.
