I wrote this post in the thread in NVG but feel like more people would see it here.
So playing on wsop nv since launch the new software is terrible. On the surface it is the same horrible 888 software but there are a ton of bugs. Nearly everyone I know is experiencing glitches or bugs of some kind.
The first annoying change is tilting tables. On any poker site ive ever played on if you minimized a table and click tile it would tile all the tables you have opened even ones that are minimized. Well this is not the case anymore. This is insanely annoying if you open sit cash games. The other issue with this is they don't pop up to front even when someone sits.
The new software you no longer have the option to click full card view which just sucks.
Since the merger I am having the amazing "waitlist glitch" way more often than before. Anyone who doesn't play on wsop its when it tells you're seat is a available you go to click it and you cant sit.
MTTs:
The new schedule if this is the real schedule is pathetic. Theres a few big tournaments on weekdays that the end of late reg/reentry i believe was 11pm for vegas which is 2am for nj. The biggest buy in tournaments of the day shouldnt go that late or it will eliminate a lot of recreational players in NJ.
MTT sattys. Before on wsop if you won a sattelite you got a tournament ticket which you can use for any mtt or sng for that buy in which expires in a year (lol). Now if you win a satellite to the 320 100k on sunday you are directly entered into it. Well this sucks for a million reasons. The software also doesn't allow you to play any more satellites once you are registered for the tournament. It also makes it so the 320 main event satellite which there are less off is an entirely different satellite. So rather than just running a bunch that give 320 tickets and have bigger fields because people get tickets and can choose which one and also stockpile tickets the software now automatically registers you.
Random bugs:
Nearly everyone I talk to is experiencing something wrong with the software. One that I have had happen is when a tournament pops up for some reason i cant click that table. Sunday I was playing 14+ mtts/sattelites and i noticed the yellow light saying i was sitting out somewhere was in the top left. Naturally I clicked tile and i am assume the table was minimized for some reason and because of the new software it didn't pop up when clicked to tile. The only thing I could think that would work would be to close the software and reopen it and all my active mtts would popup and i could click tile. On any other site this would have worked but not since the merger. When i did this a popup for every single table I was on popped up teling me i was being delt in and I had to click ok. The problem is if you don't click okay for you cant click on that table. Well a bunch of the popups i couldn't click the ok button it wasnt even visible. So after restarting the client over and over for 30 minutes eventually it didnt glitch bad enough where i was able to get back. All this time was only able to randomly act on certain hands on certain tables and I was deep in a 100 buy in and in a lot of turbo and super turbo satellites.
I have a friend who since the merger the client will randomly lose connection for no reason. I have a few friends who can't get the new software on their computer and one who has not been able to get geolocated.
Another glitch thats happening to people on windows 10 seems to be where a table will just go white and freeze and take time to refresh. Its usually quick and rarely an issue but ive had it not refresh and i have had to restart the client. Its also rather annoying you cant autosave login and password. It would help get back on quick especially with all the bugs right now.
I hit 7 star grinding on wsop and they stopped giving free rooms even though I would only request them once every 6 weeks or so. They said because i have no play in the pitts they were no longer going to give free rooms. I have a friend who had the exact same issue. It shouldn't matter how you earned 7 star if you got it all the benefits should apply. Also I heard that they no longer match live status so moving forward.
I really wish there was competition so wsop actually had to care. They removed all the 9 handed nl games over 25-50 cent. There used to be very good 2-5 nl 9 handed games. Wsop moved it all to 6 max and claimed it was better for the longevity of the games. It was more so they thought they could spread more tables thus more rake. Problem is a lot of recreational players don't want to play 6 max. I remember noticing a lot of 2-5 nl fish disappeared or dropped to 25-50 cent 9 max. I heard on a few occasions live someone would comment on how they stopped playing on wsop as they played 2-5 or 5-10 nl live and wanted to play 9 handed 2-5 online. The other issue is 6 max games break a lot faster than 9 handed games too. PLO has 9 handed games available and i prefer to play 6 max but i notice when full ring runs i see people who arent in the 6 max lineups at the table. They really need to just have the 9 max nl games available and let people choose.
While playing late last night i was playing heads up sngs and cash and after rematching a sng the table popped up and one of the glitches happened where i couldn't click anything on the table. Only way to resolve this is to restart the client which i did. Well my timing sucked because it was while the site was not letting people log on and was stuck at the geolocation loading page. I called support as i was just blinded out of that game and most certainly the other sngs i was lobbied for. After being told they were experiencing higher than normal call volume and waited over and hour and a half I finally got someone on the phone. She told me she had no idea they were experiencing any issues. I asked what i needed to do to get reimbursed for those sngs and she said she would tell a supervisor who will email me. have emailed wsop 4 times this week because of software problems on their end that has cost me money, the one on sunday probably quite a bit, and not a single response yet. I am hoping they refund me, but at this point who knows.
I am sure this is full of typos pretty tired. Long story short I think wsop need real competition so they will actually care before more states join. If that doesn't happen i fear a lot of people having a bad experience with the site and moving on. I really do hope that all these bugs are worked out and wsop puts out and effort for the players.
Also I scanned this post a bit and saw some people wanting to know why there was no horse or mixed games. The problem is wsop software is just 888 software. The software is incredibly outdated and unless 888 adds horse or mixed we won't get it. Wsop really needs to think longterm and spend the money and build new software. Its obviously not cheap but if this is the start of poker in the us they should be thinking more longterm

Idk why, a lot of live players won't play anything less than a table with 8 people at it.
One guess could be is that they really have no idea what they are doing.
Yep the 2-5 nl 9 handed that used to run on wsop were amazing. Most of the guys who were losing in those games quit or dropped down to 9 handed 25-50 cent. Wsop got greeedy wanted more rake but recreational players dont want the aggression level of 6 max. They claim they got rid of it because of a lack of player pool. Lets see if with NJ here and a much bigger player pool at 1-2 and 2-5 they bring it back.
I forgot about another new glitch. Lately its been happening pretty often where im multitabling and on one tournament when i click the open lobby in the top right it does nothing. I have had the same thing happen in cash but not as often and sometimes on that table when i click the replayer button to see last hand it doesn't work. My computer is an i7 with 16 gigs of ram and none of these issues existed before the merger.
