    Dave et al

    Servers seem to be screwed when trying to pick a team or make transfers for any competition.

    Will this be fixed before the giro start? ~X(

    So apparently I can change my purist team, even after I have gained points for the first 3 stages?
    I know it wouldn’t be easy to just open it up to people who haven’t selected a team yet, but surely this is making it slightly less purist!??

    It’s about 5 minutes today – see my previous post. The game clock is running on GMT

    I take it they will only get the points for the upcoming stages though? Rather than stages 1,2&3 points.

    yes

    you’ll have automatically been given 9 extra transfers to fill your team, leaving you with 45 for the competition

    It was unusable. It froze when trying to switch between pages of riders. I tried for several hours in the evening and the morning. I think experiences differed. What’s done is done though. Learn from it for next time! I’ll definately be getting my tdf team in early. Can we open that now please!

    I don’t think anyone mentioned money… and the money really wasn’t the point…

    The game was unusable for approx. 20hrs before the deadline….

    So no Purist team and no Italian team… so two thirds of the ‘fun’ has gone.

    I understand that Dave & Team (and they do a great job !) have to have their days off… but this time I think it has been handled badly… with a solution that doesn’t solve the problem a lot of players experienced.

    No teams and a reduced number of available transfers.

    It wasn’t unusable, it was slow, that has been shown by the number of teams who still managed to get teams in while the server was having issues.

    We don’t have “days off” but if we have events to be at or rides that are scheduled, we take over scoring from each other. It just happens that Dave had something one when the server had an issue, which is not predictable and with Dave being the only one who does the server side of things, we were helpless to do anything to sort it.

    There was no simple solution, because the majority of teams managed to put riders into their rosters, if we removed all stage 1 points, it would penalise more than it would help out by about 98/2….with over 1600 teams in, there were less then 50 teams that I can see who were affected.

    What’s all the fuss about?
    What’s all the fuss about?

    Firstly, I’ve read some of the comments above and you would think someone had fiddled the results of the General Election. If the most important thing in your life is being deprived of the chance to win goodies in a ‘Fantasy’ cycling game then you really do need to get out more. Get a grip FFS!

    Secondly, I managed to pick teams for all three categories before the start of Stage 1 and then for Standard for Stage 2. Didn’t do too well on the scores for Stage 2, but that’s my fault not the game’s.

    Finally, I’ve got Dave’s email about the updates and the posibility of a refund. I’m not bothered, the value is so small per competition per event that the cost of refuding will be more than the value. Give it to a charity of your choice Dave.
