I also want a way to distinguish from knockouts

Not an amazing solution i know but you could hide the chat box (if you normally have it open), or open the chat box (if you normally have it closed) to help distinguish the different formats

Is there a way to remove or change the "cutting" sound when the cards are dealt because every time i hear it it makes me think of a vasectomy

With the client closed, you can head to PartyGaming\PartyPoker\NewSounds and find the sound you love and replace it with whatever sound you want with. For example, the classic table sounds are in the Partypoker folder. The sound files will be replaced with the default ones every time there is an update so it's a good idea to backup the edited sounds folder for later use when there is an update.

Hope this helps

Such an obvious hack, i don't know why i didn't think of doing this already, thanks for the speedy reply

Colette please tell why GTDs have been decreased?

I have this issue where the tournament lobby information does not refresh automatically, even after 30 seconds; are there any know solutions for this?

at least do the obv thing and do huge increases when powerfest and wcoop starts

The GTDs were cut for our Sunday schedule due to various live events during the weekend - these will return next week to normal

We have our powerfest event starting on the 4th with $10Million GTD, our Online $500K GTD on the 5th, the powerplus leaderboards, various live GPPT events and powerfest mini starting on the 1st till 4th
There will no further increases to our standard GTDs during the above events

Summer is basically over, you really should try to implement a few new things now. You guys have been kind of slacking, and the lack of variety is starting to piss people off tbh..

I qualified for that one, but I still have a 109 gp online ticket. So I was wondering if there would be another one after the 5 september edition and before December when my ticket expires

Yeah, winter is coming. So bring rebuys back to offer, with X levels rebuys X level rebuy time. And please no 3 (especially 5+r, 10+r, 20+r which cater same players) starting at same time, rather 1 rebuy from that buy-in point per hour per speed level.

powerfest plus leaderboards are running
powerfest Mini - 1st - 4th
powerfest kicks off on the 1st
Online GPPT $500K GTD on the 5th
Cardiff GPPT live next weekend alongside the GPPT in Montreal
Sports promo running weekly awarding poker tickets
SNG ticket promotion
CPP package giveaways weekly
WPT N Ireland
WPT N UK


I dont think its fair to say "we have been slacking" ^^
Our summer schedule will conclude shortly and post powerfest will return to our regular offerings - the team are looking into improvements to fill the gaps currently and reviewing various suggestions made over the summer via our forums and player feedback sessions

All,
We have planned poker maintenance tomorrow Tuesday August 30th between 07:00 CET and 08:30 CET
This will impact ALL of our services - cash games, SNGs, fastforward and MTTs.
Our poker team will be updating our tournament schedule to ensure no tournaments will commence between downtime and you will notice a reduced schedule prior to the event
We hope to be up and running before 08:30CET
Thanks,
Colette

yeah, slacking is pbb the wrong term to use, but I think you should def look to extend your schedule some further now. obv i'm very much looking forward to powerfest series, but after that is done, you should try to make the schedule some more fun and more varied imo. really love the new bet slider btw, huge improvement!

I'm very excited for Powerfest and have a lot of faith in you guys regarding the post-Powerfest schedule aswell.

After WCOOP even less people will bother to log onto PokerStars due to their terrible schedule so if you roll out an improved MTT schedule (more rebuy tournaments, with unraked rebuy/addon and adjusted rake for SuperKnockout MTTs would be great improvements for example) after Powerfest, that would be absolutely amazing.

Lots of players (including myself) are desperate to shift even more of our action away from GreedStars and would be happy to see Partypoker grow even further!

Keep up the good work <3

While i agree its unfair to say you have been "slacking" i still feel there can be many improvements made to the daily online mtt schedule. There is absolutely not enough variety and hopefully there can be changes to this.

You have mentioned previously that changes will be looked at post summer season, what i cannot understand is that you have now introduced a power series post summer season with a extremely limited variety of tournaments on offer? Why couldn't there have been more variety in this series? Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.

You also state that after the upcoming series, the regular offerings will return. I have to say that the regular offerings are frankly not good enough.

"Improvements to fill the gaps" is a horribly understated comment. I'm not sure you understand how much of a missed opportunity this would be provided you do not make substantial changes the to schedule.

Other sites are certainly not making big improvements, now please listen to the players, look how many people are asking for a better mtt schedule, do this and watch the site numbers grow.

Thanks.

Why does everything worth playing start on the hour.

surely move some of them to 00.30 think your losing alot of volume with the current way they are setup.

party tables suck big time on 4k

All valid feedback - thanks for taking the time to share
I will follow up with the team and discuss in depth
Feedback has been gathered over the last few months from various sources regarding our schedule - not just 2+2 - and will be taking into consideration


This has been noted by our management team and has been discussed in depth - this was a key highlight from our previous live open forum at our Brighton GPPT event

Collette, you said you d be out of office till the 31st. Then fts stay out of office till the 31st and relax a little. Kthx

Hope you had a nice time off and saw some sun before the carnage that is September. Thx for all u ve done this year, party went from meh to zomg I wanna go again and your correspondence ITT is a big reason as to why so ty.

Still wanting to cash out. Software won't let me. Sent in documents twice already.

I have this issue where the tournament lobby information does not refresh automatically, even after 30 seconds; are there any know solutions for this?

I would like to add that you have done a great job with things. I really enjoy your tournaments; nice starting stacks and structures... I just wish there were more of them! I presume you want tournament to start on the hour to give it a more epic feeling or whatever but i do think there is room for, for example some $11 games which could be considered "side events" that start at 30 minutes past

Some deadline $11 sats to $109 powerfest events would be great.They would also be great to run $11 deadline sats to all your $109 daily comps too.

+1

just copy most of stars' old sched and ur good imo
