New Pogo Chat Bubble and Other Features

I will admit that Pogo is trying to please its long time members. I do appreciate that Pogo is at listening to some of our feedback. However, it's hard to fix something that is already been programmed without jamming up the works more. 

Pogo has a new chat feature, that sort of mimics the old lobby. However, you can only access this once you are dumped in a room. Names don't show up, so you have no idea who is in that room. You can hit the bubble and chat, but who are you chatting with? Nice try, but it's still not working. The find a friend feature, which is sorely lacking in actually locating your friend and joining them, is still broken. Can't join friends while a game is already in progress. 

I don't know why I keep writing to the Forum. Maybe because I care about the fate of Pogo, and the many people out there who are crying out for an easy way to chat and join a game with the "friends of your choice.". 

If programmers are listening, scrap the program and start fresh. Would be a lot easier than trying to put a bandaid on the original programming, which was not well thought out. 

I'm just being truthful, and thank all the Pogo moderators out there who are trying to help. What do other Pogo members think of the new features?

  • I miss the old pogo!!!!  You are trying to “fix” something that was not broken. Please bring the old Pogo chat features back.

    The reason why they changed chat is because the old chat was flash based. Flash is going away soon. So Pogo had a choice, do nothing and not have chat again or change it to a new format. They chose to change it. So while it wasn’t broken right now it would’ve been in a few months. That’s the same reason for switching games to HD.

    Hey there, @zpatsfan1265.

    First off, I apologize for the wait.

    You can see who is in the channel with you by clicking the channel name at the top of the screen.

    When you click on it, any friends in the room will show up first. Note: I used a second account to grab this screenshot. You won't see yourself as a friend.

    If you'd rather change rooms, you can do so without interrupting your game. Just click on the round < button next to the room name (as seen in the first screenshot). That will bring up the chat room list. If one or more friends are in the room, it will let you know.

    I hope that helps!

  • @EA_Arrenai Good afternoon. I just tried it. I see that I can now find a friend in a room, and I can change rooms to be in the same room. However, I still can't join that friend in a card game that already started, if I find them, correct?

    Hey there, @zpatsfan1265.

    That is correct in that when a game starts, the seats are taken up (by other people or robots) and not available to be sat in. That said, you can ask your friend in chat for a game after their current one, and when they're done, you can create a table.
