Hasn't the waitlist bug been present for months with pretty much no response or action from Bill?

It sometimes takes a while to get going - also try checking the version from within the HTML pages as the one in the "My Account" popup seems broken today.

Thanks, HTML page working fine.

No Juk, this is wrong. They managed to trick you with that whole "extra points you win will be available on the next weeks, you just need to redeem them" thing.

Before: you scored 10k points you got 10k points.

Now: you score 10k points you get something between 6k and 10k points

Do you realize there is no possible way that the new system is better than the previous one? There is no such thing as 25% or 20% rb. They make the system so complicated so that you will think you're making more.

Regardless of that, the system just got improved for sure.

and big time.

I agree.

I was very frustrated when I wrote that post. Things have indeed been improving.

i have experienced second day in a row that pockertracker hud does not work properly (misassigment of stats). Is this some sort of bug?

Yep I see now: I'd forgotten that the initial points you earn when going over your weekly goal in the first week don't count and are effectively lost forever. I was counting them at 100%/160% instead of 0%/60% for the old/new "weekly goal" system... Doh.

Try posting in the Software forum or the sponsored PT-support forum - you might get more help there.

Wait, the 60% thing is worse than before?

60 < 100 imo

You get 60% from the points you earn more than your weekly goal, really generous!

I'm still not playing more than my weekly goal. 60%, I mean what kind of incentive is that? It's like your boss saying "if you work overtime we'll pay you 60% of your normal salary". I think someone already mentioned that it should be more than 100% for exceeding your goal, then I might actually put in some more hours.

Yes, yes, I realize that it's better than previously but it's still a crappy deal.

Oh and the fact that Party advertises the Bonus Zone points as "160% value" tilts the **** out of me.

On the upside a lot of players will now eventually make deuces who never had a chance before - after all, you have to play quite extensively/at high stakes to make 20k PPs each quarter. I didn't make deuces before, but will now. Granted, I probably still would have made it under the old system now, but anyway...

Still, while Party _is_ improving they still have quite a long way to go before they can compete with either of their Euro main competitors (Ongame/iPoker has waaaay bigger rakeback) or the big US-facing sites (Stars with better built-in rakeback or FTP with outright rakeback + small bonuses).

To be fair with Party, you get 60% of the points in excess of your weekly goal immediately at the end of the week, AND you'll be able to convert these same points again into reward points as part of the weekly goals of the following weeks...that's why they advertise "160% value". Of course you'll be somewhere between 60% and 160% if you don't reach your weekly goal at some point during the next ten weeks... But you'll be probably not too far from the 100% of the previous (=pre-weekly goal) system if playing somewhat regularly.

Although I'm not a high volume player, I notice I already got the 60% points of the bonus zone for my play during the previous week (before it was advertised to me...)

It's an improvement on the new system, but it's still considerably worse than the old system where you got 100% of all the points scored.

This is the only thing that makes me not totally hate this system, because I'm one of this players that had trouble keeping the deuces status and under this system I will eventually make it and keep it. But then I wonder if they won't change the system when I'm almost there like they did a few times before.

C'mon, I understand the logic behind the 160% but that's just a ******ed way to twist the numbers (= marketing, I get it). According to this formula excess points before this whole 60% thingy had "100% value" even though they only increased your future goal (and thus required you to play for two points to get one single point).

Same here:



Works fine in web browser though...

Is anyone else experiencing the problem?

B

Yup, as said before in the thread

PartyBill, can we just confirm that Party is aware of the flickering/100%-CPU-use "Seat Available" bug?

Opening a single table and sitting very quickly seems to be an acceptable workaround for the time being, but I wouldn't want to have to do that for the long term...

Juk

Is everyone experiencing the problem?

I think so - mine also looks just like your picture, but is fine in the HTML pages.

Juk

How did you guys find out what Points Means Cash bonus you earned? I signed up for it but haven't received any email or notification of any bonus or kickback.

Join waitlist button not appearing is VERY annoying.

My computer seems to be a lot more sluggish since the update also but that could just be in my head.
