yeah, these are really great, though I don't like the idea of autoregistering for the next step after winning these 0.01 satelites.
Still I can live with that....
Though, yesterday I won 2 in a row....1 autoregistered for the next step ($5.50 satelite into $22) and played that, but the 2nd win rewarded me a $5.50 ticket.
Short after I ended my session and logged out....the $5.50 ticket still there.
Today, to my surprise, the ticket was gone, which means I have been autoregistered, while I was not logged in to Partypoker and thus I had no chance to play and my ticket through the drain.

Me is not happy

Can you PM myself your username please
The tickets will auto registered you to the next available game - should the game still be in late reg period it will add you in or the ticket will sit in available until a game become available and then it will auto reg you
The functionality of these tickets are under review - the current function is to keep players moving quickly up the tree however I agree its not ideal

As a goodwill gesture - PM myself and I will return the $5.50 ticket

missions for new players are good

 

[Kavaleits]

Great tournaments at party poker and not only tournaments are good, but also players support(friendly, helpful, knowledgeable), software design. I enjoy to play at Party Poker.

you obviously haven't had to deal with tech issues. Their support may answer the phone but there is no support just excuses why they can't help. They are horrible!

 

[toots babos]

since pokerstars is currently starting to really mess up and turning most of their player base against them do you, party poker have any aspirations of increasing your mtt schedule to cater for all buy in levels and potentially snap up 10k+ players from stars?

I've noticed they have added more micro games to the MTT schedule. They have to boost their guarantees to draw more players but they are getting there. they just need to fix their software to many bugs in the lobby not very customizable and totally replace their so called support team... All you hear from them is "ummm have you tried to reinstall???""" thats the lazy way to disguise an issue just erases all customized data that will replicate once you put your settings back the way you had it.

I actually had a support guy tell me to reinstall after i couldn't deposit because vanilla had issues.

well i had a look through their mtt lobby and all i seen were a few mtts below $1, after that they had some $1.10's, $2.20 omahas and then the jump was up to $5.50...... unless im missing something.

if they really want to grab some of the pokerstars player base they'd be doing a great thing by adding in $2.20,$3.30,$4.40 mtts as well

 

[Gorak]

I love the new low buyins freezeouts. Although the 12 levels late reg are a bit too long for my taste; 10 levels would be better.

As a side note, I totally hate the inactivity popup when I leave PartyPoker open. I usually open a site and leave it open all day long; but I do close PartyPoker just because of this annoying feature. Anyway you probably had this comment 1 million times already so I'll just add my +1.

they didn't add many 9 new micro's in the freezout section .22 .55 1.10
starting at 4 am 11 am (i think) and 4ish est plus what ever they did in rebuy and re-entry think those went all turbo's

all im saying is they are getting there. not nearly enough yet but they dont have the traffic
