POGO SPIKE UPDATE: 6/9 Hello Pogo Bowlers! We've identified this issue as happening on systems that are underperforming. This can be due to your system simply being below specification or it can be due to your system pressured by high system utilization (running multiple browser tabs, multiple pogo games, multiple games, etc)If you come across this error, first try closing all unnecessary applications and playing Pogo Bowl in a single browser tab. This can help some low end machines still perform as expected. Thank you all for your support and Bowl On! -SpikeORIGINAL POSTIs someone aware of a recurring Table Chat error in Pogo Bowl the reads : Whoops, Something Broke Try again?

@DPQ3212 Hello and thank you for the report! There was an short outage for out chat service on Friday which may have affected players.Please post here if you still get disappearing pins in POGO BOWL so we may continue improving!Thank you!

@DPQ3212 I get this on the home page after I complete any game and have for the past couple weeks despite whatever efforts I have gone through to fix it!

Yeah ... They need to get in there and smooth out some "bumps", all right.
Besides the chat being wonky, one or both of the the following ought to be considered:
Ball speed and aim need to work TOGETHER and not independent of one another.
Classic Option: The way it exists, in order to accurately aim, ball speed (ergo pin action) is forfeit. By the time the ball is aimed/released the power timer has minimized and there is no "oomph" on the ball.
Tap Option: Make aiming more consistent. Presently, accuracy in aiming is sacrificed in order to regain above mentioned speed/pin action.
The only way to again make this a game of skill (calling for shots to be more duplicable, on a more regular basis) is to either make the necessary adjustments to the above or include a third option.
I hope that a moderator is reading these and can forward these thoughts to the programmers.

@knitqueen1959 Hello!
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Note that Pogo Bowl uses a 'power meter' and if the meter isn't high enough, your ball may not actually make it to the end of the alley.

Click on your bowling ball to reset the meter and get the maximum power!

Cheers!

I really didn't have the disappearing pins problem ... just the Table Chat situation which wasn't due to a one time outage and has been a continuing issue.

I should hope that my other concerns get forwarded to whomever necessary for consideration as I know of a number of bowling leagues that are "on the ledge" about whether to return to Pogo Bowl, the play action being what it is. There others who've (for the time being, at least) opted to stay at an alternate site for their leagues. I'm hopeful that some "tweaks" will be forthcoming and I'll be able to league bowl using Pogo Bowl HD as the platform of choice.

Thanks
