Quoted from NicoVolta:I estimated 2/5ths of all games (not just EM's) were off/totally unplayable.
1/5th would not start and/or were simply out of credits.
1/5th would start, but were not properly leveled, tuned up, and/or had some playability issues.
The final 1/5th were in good to great working order.
Unsurprisingly, the last quintile was comprised mostly of newer machines (most of which had a waiting queue).
I purchased a weekend pass but did not stay beyond 7pm on Friday (largely due to frustration). I traveled with a friend who also felt the same way. Saturday morning, we did not return and instead drove to Vegas (and the PHOF).
So were the games at PHOF in better condition? I met up with RobT there on Saturday, hung out and played most of the day. Most of the games looked okay and were working good, and we talked and both agreed the games were way better than those at PHOF in term of conditions. They are not perfect CQ by any means, but decent routed games for the most part. So I dunno.
By the way, big thanks to practicalsteve for the badge!!
