I have no confidence in the procedures you have in place for designing your UP software.


You can only design the software well if you have been a multi-tabler or have a multi-tabler as a co-designer. It is obvious that this is not the case.So, currently, there is no hope that you will correct things in a quick and efficient manner.

You must get the leader to understand the importance of making a multi-tabler an intricate part of the design process from this point forward.

Why? You could just use the points for cash and then the cash for tournies.
Cash is the universal language.

Thank You
Have Fun @@@@@@

I'm checking right now with engineering, but I believe that there's something they're working on before they are clearing the refund process. We'll get them out ASAP.

dax,
will you be able to use U points to buy into everyday tournaments/SNGs
or is it just the $250 and $1000 weekly freerolls

Lol! People need to calm down. This is starting to sound like a video game forum with everyone crying doom all the time. UP has been running for 5 months chill out.

IMO when a company is in its infancy you judge their mistakes on two criteria. How they handle their mistakes and how they learn from their mistakes. As far as handling their mistakes I think they are doing a pretty good job. I've recieved my refund for tournaments that closed for random reason, I've cashed out 3 times already each time was awesome, and I've never had to wait long for customer service. For the latter part of the criteria I think it is still too early to judge. If a year from now we've had 2-3 more updates and they all go horribly then we can all grab pitchforks and raid the UP headquarters lol!

For now, log on enjoy the fact we have online poker back and let Omgcrabcakes take that money. Lol! Jk I'm pretty terrible.

When are these free rolls and how many points do you have to earn to play them?
08-26-2013 , 01:19 PM
the software is still experiencing problems. No 6max tables below 100nl and an obvious glitch where the full ring tables have 0 min buyin. that can't be right. Hope tech is on these issues.
08-26-2013 , 01:19 PM
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the "COLOR UP" logo is utterly devoid of color?
08-26-2013 , 01:23 PM
Anyone know where to find out about the 10$deepstack leadboards i dont see any info on UP site???

Similar technical issue that we had during the morning. We have found the issue and are discussing what the ramifications of the solution are.

I cant paste a copy of it for some reason but I saw this graph somewhere
$10 double stack ticket for 10,000 UP points
$40 ticket to $500 nightly for 40,000 points
$50 ticket to $1000 nightly for 50,000 points
$100 ticket to $5000 nightly for 100,000 points
can scotty or dax verify this and throw up the entire graph

ONE MILLION points for a $100 ticket
shouldn't that be 100,000 points if
it jives with the first 3

I have the same major issues as most other ITT. Cards are really hard to see sometimes and the complete lack of 'action needed' warning sounds is silly. Those items seem so intuitive to the people ITT that it is hard to understand how they were overlooked.

The hi-res avatars resize beautifully. Too bad nothing else does.

The VIP program seems to have been really well designed. I am sure the programing involved to implement it while complying with NGB requirements was no small feat and I am very happy that it is here. It is unfortunate that something as fundamental as putting cards on the table where they can be seen somehow got in the wrong pile.

I avoided playing this weekend because I saw ITT what a mess the roll-out was. I did not even update the software until this evening. I avoided all the disconnect and server crash issues. Having read all the complaints in this thread I was expecting the worst. When I finally got around to playing I was pleasantly surprised. I think V2 is a definite step in the right direction. The overall feel of the software is much improved. I think casual players will be very happy with it and that is what really matters. The players ITT have valid issues but the players who have never heard of 2+2 are the ones that will decide if this thing succeeds.
Cheers - thanks for the comments. We're working on the issues that have been raised. Card visibility is a big one, and I am hoping we can push a hotfix soon. As mentioned before, though - part of being in a regulated environment means hotfixes might be a little lukewarm.

That's probably a question for Scotty, but I think at some point we plan to offer tournament tickets for U-Point purchase.

We're just getting the store and VIP program up on its feet for now. In time, let us know what you'd like to see.

More on this later today - but this is a bug that we're aware of (it's been the number 1 thing this morning). It's related to the crashes.

for sure. the crashes increased in frequency for me last night especially at 6 max tables...the site would just periodically blink out and I'd have to log back in again. After this happened some dozen times, i've basically given up playing for now. Hopefully you can fix this bug cuz I need to grind all day!! thanks for the efforts.

There shouldn't be any further crashes. We're working on the "can't see my wallet" thing. If anyone still can't see their wallet, please let me know (and PM me your username/email address).
