There are now breaks in the WPX tournies
It looks like the monthly threads are gone.
WPX had an upgrade. They added 5 min. breaks in the tournaments. For those of you who haven't played there in a while they've recently gone to 15 min. levels in the tournies. Also, there are HU sit'n gos, and HU NL tables. There are tables at which you can again get full hand histories for PT data and tables where you can play anonymously. Traffic is still very, very light but the site continues to improve and develop. Its still a great place to play. |

Re: There are now breaks in the WPX tournies
I guess you could call it 'improving'.
But adding 5 minute breaks to tournaments isn't exactly innovative. It's something everybody else has that they finally got around to adding after numerous requests. Also, I don't believe that playing at a non-hand-history table is the same as playing anonymously because you still have the same handle obviously...but I get your meaning. |

They're improving, but there're still a lot of works to be done.

Re: There are now breaks in the WPX tournies
Hi Everyone,
I don't think "A lot of bugs" is a fair comment at this point. If you know of any bugs, please let me know and they will be promptly addressed. The lag you are complaining about with the new release was fixed last night. It turns out it was not really lagging but had the illusion of lagging. They made some adjustments to lower the CPU load. Here is the explanation from the programming staff: "This new animation method only draws 5 cards from the start position to the end position. BUT the total moving time from the start position to the end position is 150ms (0.15 second), as well. Since it draws only 5 times on 0.15 second, it uses less CPU power. However, some very sensitive players may notice the difference and see the empty space while the card is moving from one place to another. Both old method and new method consumes exactly same amount of time for animation -0.15 second - but because of the number of images it draws while moving, it may look like it moves slower and more precisely, it may look jerky while moving." So cards to the seat were actually taking the same time, but it looked choppy. I had them change it back until we can discuss it further. Part of me says, why show the cascading cards at all? Just let them pop up at your seat. But we'll see. Back to bugs, please tell me what they are. As far as features, we are adding them as fast as we can. The "breaks" was just one example, I am aware the concept wasn't cutting edge, but it still took quite a bit of coding. Now it's done. Another feature many of you will appreciate tonight is the "Aces Never Lose" bonus is now credited automatically. No need to email your hand numbers anymore. The money will be added automatically. I honestly feel the platform is very stable these days. Traffic has been slowly increasing. As far as features and enhancements, we are about 75% through our list. Most of what remains affects the back end. But please keep the suggestions coming. We do listen. Fred Balfour General Manager WSEX.com |
