HD Table Game / "Find a Friend" Feedback
This is regarding the new iteration of Jungle Gin HD. I do appreciate that Pogo did establish the chat feature on the side of the screen. The HD game graphics also look great, so kudo's to you in that respect.
After posting to several different mediums on Pogo, I was directed to address my concern to the Answers HQ. I tried the Pogo Forum, Pogo Blog and EA help. The Pogo Forum directed me to you. I am but one voice, but I believe i speak for many who are disappointed with the "Find a Friend" feature.
I have tried Jungle Gin HD, and understand the instructions. It seems that the programming of the "Find a Friend" feature was not well thought out, as it's almost impossible to find a friend. The issue is that in order to "Find a Friend", you have to wait in an inactive room, and NOT play with the bots for a friend to locate you. I even tried to password a private room, to no avail. This is not feasible. Most of us on Pogo do not have "personal" contact information on our friends. Does EA believe that we will wait in an inactive room for an inordinate amount of time while waiting to play with friends? If Spades goes the way of Jungle Gin HD, would that mean that I'd be waiting for several hours, in an inactive state for my friends to find me? We play quite frequently, and we don't all sign into Pogo at the same time. The way Jungle Gin HD and I'm sure other HD games is set up now, it's impossible to play with friends.
I alsoI contacted EA help this morning to see if the programming can be changed so a member can play with Bots until a friend joins you. EA help also told me that the Forum is the proper place to address these issues, but would also elevate it on their end. I am addressing this major issue here which could mean the downfall of Pogo.
Thank you very much for listening and your attention to this matter. I have been playing Pogo since 2001 and hate to think that the very purpose of Pogo may have been forgotten. Play, Chat and Make Friends.
Hey there, @zpatsfan1265.
As your feedback wasn't specifically about the game retirements, I moved it off into its own thread in the New Pogo Experience forum to help with tracking. Those who agree can also now do a "Me Too" on the feedback.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll be sure to pass it along to the Pogo team.
