Game Play - Challenges too difficult

After 10 years I've become dicouraged with the games and challenges.  It's gotten to where I can no longer complete challenges beause they are too difficult.  For example,  Solitaire Home Story.  I have to do 18 streaks in black only if I want to get to the next challenege.  I'm tired of trying over and over again.  It's not fun any more!!!

    I agree.  I'm a long-time member,  I only enjoy 2 or 3 games on Pogo now.  Majongge's daily challenge is always the first go-to game for the day.  However, now the challenges are so difficult that I cannot finish the puzzle unless I buy feathers.  I recently bought some, but to no avail.  The extra helps they offer don't help enough to complete the puzzle.  I am very bright and well-educated. I often wonder how others are doing with the game.  My favorite game is Canasta, but we've lost so many members is hard to get four to play.  (Also, I surmise they cheat.  I even had one woman tell me they call one another on their cells and compare cards) I like a close, skin-of-my-teeth game of canasta that I can win or lose with honor.  Honor!  That is a word never heard today.  I might not pay for membership when renewal comes due again.  EA had to lower their price and they still cannot beg people to join! I don't like matching games particularly color matching games or bingo. Those games are for children. We are adults.

    I agree also. I am so disappointed that Pogo is making the games so hard. It used to be fun. Now with this New Year's Celebration challenges that you have to do in order, there are ones players can not get to, because they are stuck on hard badges & can't get past them. The only way you can finish them is to pay.  My Canadian membership is about 60 bucks a year. I am not about to pay for gems & coins on top of that. The badges should not be in order. Let the players get to the ones they like. I've been a member since 2006. I also played on hubby's membership for years before I got my own. Seems the last few years the badges have gotten way harder then they used to be. It's really taken the fun out of it. It's more like a job to do these badges now. Now on April 2nd they are taking away 3 of my favorite games I really enjoyed playing. What has happened to the way pogo used to be? It's sad. I'm really reconsidering not renewing my membership next year because of all this nonsense. Good luck everyone with the badges. You will need all the luck you can get. And Pogo please do away with the kiddy games. We are adults & we pay good money to join Pogo. You need to listen to your customers.

    ccbeachwalker Can you tell me where I click on to post my own comments. I have joined but see no where to start my own comments. I can only see to click on others to reply to them? Thank you for any help. :-)

  • Totally agree. It's very frustrating when Pogo does this. The New Year Celebration event should not be set up so that one has to complete the events in "pogo's" order.  I too got stuck on event 3, Solitaire Home Story. Been trying it for over a week and have only got 4 out of the required 18.  What a waste!!  All those other events can't be touched. Makes me wonder why I still subscribe. Going to give it some thought 

  • I totally agree.  Have been with Pogo 20 years.   Have been  trying to get past challenge 7 for 3 days.  Can't proceed with others until it is wonl  There;s a few new games that are nearly impossible to win.  They continue to take games that I like away and re[lace them with this stupid new genre.  I am really thinking of not renewing this coming year.
