if you expect the same nr. Players (what i do, in this buy in area) it's the half/double Money....or do i see that wrong?

I like most of the sunday lineup but not a fan of 12,1,2,and 3pm majors all being 6 max.

i Play at the Moment the/a earlyedition 6max...and i must say with this structure it's really cool/nice/fun!

the kickoff's with the deepstack and slow structure are at the optimal time! (esp. on sunday's)! - the only Thing what I would Change is, making them 8max.
the reason for my thinking is the deepstack/slow structure,ofc.

- (and only 1 hour later/earlier the 6max People have the 6maxbountyhunter's)

Big thanks for new structures & fewer re-entries / 1 Bullet Bounty Hunters. Definitely better overall experience playing.

Thank you <3

I'm playing the Sunday Main Event right now and I noticed that the levels are down to five minutes. They're usually 10. Is this the new normal?

We had further issues yesterday resulting in a delay extracting the complete data needed for the refund process
This has now been resolved and we should be in the position to process refunds today


Thanks

Colette
Hey Colette, do we need to email support about our refund/s or are we 100% sure they will get processed and we just need to wait ?

Asking because currently your support button in the software is NOT working.

Thanks.

Yes - we implemented changes today with reduced blind levels across all our games

@Colette

The above is back yet again...I'm currently playing and have "DTD Grand Prix satellites" that start in 20+hrs being spammed in the chat boxes constantly...

Any reason why you force this stupid smooth structures to all tournaments? Why bother with variety for which are people crying for in this thread, right?

I had received only buy-ins back from 2 cancelled satellites, although mentioned tournaments had already passed add-on which I had taken. Not to mention that they had more chips... this is ridiculous way to treat your customers. No refund from lost chips suring earlier disconnection either.

So, this is what I got in refunds:




From these two tournaments (add-ons paid @ both already) :



From PartyPoker disconnection policy:

Quote:
c. If the tournament has started and the registration period for the tournament has closed:

Eliminated players at the time of cancellation will not be refunded their buy-in or entry fee.
Players still in the tournament will be refunded the amount that would have been awarded to the next player to be eliminated from the tournament. 50% of the remaining prize pool will be distributed equally between the remaining players, and 50% will be distributed on a percentage basis according to each player's chip count. The remaining players will also be refunded their entry fee.
d. In extraordinary circumstances where the quality of our service is severely degraded, such as may happen due to the occurrence of an Act of God, a terrorist attack, fire, or malicious DDoS attack, we reserve the right to cancel tournaments and refund players their buy-in and entry fee only for tournaments where the actual prize pools may be less than guaranteed prize pools. In such an event we will refund all players their buy-in and entry fee, including those players who were eliminated at the time of cancellation.
In my case:

If you go for C ICM counts should be around 100$.

If you go for D you should return buy-ins INCLUDING rebuys and add-ons from aforementioned tournaments AND from tournaments #17907723 and #175859308 (same as earlier mentioned, but they started 1 hour earlier)
which were affected by same DDOS attacks and where I lost chips and hands because of the making 105$ in total.

Please forward this on, Colette. My player name is DukeOfSuffolk as shown @ photos. I will also post this on twitter as there's certainly lots of players who have got wrong amount of refunds (lots of claims there already).

It's rather obvious that refunds are far too small, either way you decide to count them. I will also post this on twitter and I think it is both super shady way to deal thing to deal these matters 3 days after incident has happened WITHOUT sending any kind of e-mail or like that notificating players how their compensation has been calculated so they can check it out.

Hello


Please send the above dispute claim to the customer service team for review and investigation - they are dealing with the issue and will be able to advise/feedback


All - please note I will be out of office for the week on annual leave


Thanks!

DDoS again? For me client is lagging severely: almost every action takes X seconds and occasionally can't sit back in table or open it again.

I guess thinking about playing for leaderboard was probably very bad idea after last weeks events.

E: Can't open support page right now either. Page fails to load.

Stars was supposedly down again today for some people. Pokernews fails to say whether it was a DDOS attack but it did say Stars got "hit" with difficulties. Few countries were totally unaffected.

How often is party going to keep changing tournaments? They now have a tournament called 2nd chance and calls it fast. They previously had the one that was called fast daily major or something like that. Also why did the drop the gtds for lot of them?


Also why do they have tournaments like that called fast and a bounty hunter called fast when these last close to like those regular bounty hunter tournaments? These are not even fast. Its maybe just a little bit faster but these are no way a fast/turbo.

These MTT's on PP labelled fast that your talking about have 4 min (or in some cases 3 min) blinds. Most poker sites 'turbo' structures are set at 5 -6 min blinds and 'Hyper turbos' set at 3 - 4 min blinds (which is the fastest blind structure you will most commonly find on any given poker site).

The MTT's you mentioned are equal in quickness to other sites 'Hyper turbos' and your saying that "these are no way fast/turbo"...What do you consider to be 'fast' then?

The reason the GTD's have been dropped is because PP has removed a lot of the re-entries to these MTT's and they have been changed into straight freezeout's, which equates to less money being invested by players into the prizepools and the need to reduce GTD's in order to reduce huge overlays.
