gjb1443 says
If you play Rainy Day on Easy all the suits are black so badge goes faster only takes 2 games.
Brinn says
Ok, I’ll be the first to say it…. Keno Pop will take FOREVER…. well, at least you can work on your ranks.
Joe C says
These are very good and balanced badges. One that can be done quickly and another that you play over the course of several days in installments, where each installment will get you closer to the badge.
Well done, Pogo. This week should be your model.
Katie says
Went to Keno pop where I am rank 47… it told me I had just reached rank 1!!!!!!! Please tell me that I’m not the only one that this has happend to and that it’s just a glitch… my ranks are gone… in EVERYGAME!
Agent 99 says
Just be warned for Keno Pop…you need to clear out the cup with the vertical power-up, otherwise it doesn’t count if you have the maximum of three stored.
booboo says
Lura I know you hate the negativity but once again on badge day Pogo has dropped the ball. Spider Solitaire rooms are ALL FULL. Also server are hosed because when you go into Keno pop many are showing no badges and rank 1. It’s inexcusable to not have this ready yet when they add badges for mix and match or an album, plenty of open rooms in those games.
Tips.. Keno is just luck. I did quick pick and it took me 2 hours to do. Spider Solitaire play on easy and win 2 games. Was easy. All together it was balanced one hard(not hard but long) one easy but the other glitches made it seem more than it was.
Lura says
booboo: don’t mistake my request that people are mindful of what they comment as hating negativity, I and many others just want this site to continue be useful to those of us who still actually like and play Pogo games, despite the hiccups here and there. If you are having problems getting into game rooms for the weekly challenges, it’s most definitely beneficial to discuss that here as others may want to know they’re not alone.
twttr says
yucky badges, pop took 2 1/2 hrs! no skill.
Jan the third says
Having problems here too…I’m ranked out in Keno Pop..only shows rank 1, and did not get credit for Two verticals and keeps booting me out. See that I’m not alone, so that helps so much. Than I know its not my computer making mistakes. Thank Goodness we have a week to do our badges so no hurry right now.
Cuppy says
Katie, same problem here. Used to be rank 50, now rank 7. lol
In a room by myself & have been for the last hour, don’t think many people can get in, but won’t leave for fear of not getting back in. Seem to be hitting a lot 4 & 5 balls. So its slow, but moving up. Should have a healthy token count when this is over. 🙂
ed says
Booboo and Lura #s 7 and 9: So if one needs to communicate with Pogo CS, how are they doing it?
Lura says
ed: I know you are having troubles with logging in, but http://help.pogo.com/ works fine here on all browsers and operating systems I have tested.
bobbi says
Thanks so much 4 these posts! I had problems also, I got a big OOPS!
after nearly 2 hours of Keno then I had no mini….saw a lot of screen
names without the badges on them & if i tried to view their mini I just
got MINI NOT AVAILABLE”….. had a few people asking “Where does it
show how many vertical I got so far?” …..OMG! the game didnt work 4
them..they had to go to live chat, get the tokens & the badge! ……….
HEY! Thats the easiest way to get this one! :))
Stef140 says
I agree this is a good balance this week, the Rainy Day one should be super simple and since I’m not the biggest fan of that game I don’t mind that at all.
Keno is one of those luck based ones that not too many people seem to enjoy since it could take an hour or it could take 4 days. At least Keno is easy so you can sit back and watch a movie while just clicking the button every now and then. I think I will save this one till tomorrow at least though since it sounds like there’s some glitches to be worked out.
goNILor4p says
The Keno Pop ranks are just temporary glitches, If you leave room and re-enter your ratings reappear. Got both my badges and now on to a hard personal one. GL ALL
cyril says
just had a rather long chat with Brooke from help re no extra rooms available for rainy day solly. while continually avoiding the issue of opening extra rooms, i was offered the badge and 10k of tokens. which apparently had been put on my account. 20mins later, no badge and no extra tokens.
what sort of service is this?
cyril says
following another conversation with pogo samantha i can now report that the badge has been added along with 13,400 tokens. thus restoring my faith in the pogo customer service dept.
also i now see extra temp rooms available. well done pogo
ed says
Thanks Lura, I must have a cookie or temp file issue.
mmklima says
I haven’t had any problems this morning. But I’m one that doesn’t sit and do the badge straight through.
So remember that the Keno POP badge is to COLLECT the verticals. Not use them. BUT you have to use them in order to be able to collect more. (only 3 of each power up can be stored at any time.)
I’ll get the Spider badge after lunch. LOL
MariaLoon says
I didn’t have any trouble with Keno pop loading or with my ranks being there. I am rank 47 (almost 48) and my progress is correct.
Spider Solitaire, I did have an issue with it loading. So I will try it again after I complete Keno Pop.
Good luck everyone 🙂
Tom says
Well I’ve gotten both of these for my second account. I was lucky and got into Spider Solitaire early and got a room even without the temporary rooms established yet and knocked it out in about 15 mins.
Keno Pop took longer, of course, but it’s a good game for chatting. It’s also a good game for double-browsing because while I was doing that I was also doing the daily challenges, DHS voting and did a Turbo 21 badge as a personal on my main account. I tried to also do the SS weekly but was unable to because of lack of rooms and later because the * Oops… * error so I’ll probably have to go through the whole cache clearing routine before doing that one.
One other note Re KP, even though it took over 250 rounds I did gain alot of ranks and even got the Rank 30 badge soon after the weekly and also ended up over 30K tokens in the black, so not a bad day there at all, LOL.
Hopefully Pogo gets there act together and fixes all of these glitches so far.
Anyway, good luck everyone and have fun!
-Tom
jan says
glad i checked here first shince i was headed to keno pop first and would have not been happy to see rank 1 in a game i have ranked out of a long time ago. stress is at an all time high with many medical ills in the family and it is better to be forewarned about pogo goofing up then to get stressed that my computers may have problems and that pogo is glitching. thanks everyone for the warnings 🙂
jmlsnoop says
Happy Badge Day All!!!!
Well I started in Rainy Day because I had an album badge to finish in there. Didn’t take to long. I am now working on the Keno Pop. Witch is going to take some time. At least there wasn’t two long and consuming badges this week.
GL All and see ya in Pogoland 😉
Ann M says
As everyone has said Spider Solitare was very quick. I did finish Keno Pop and it did take some time. Might be a good one to do while watching TV. As long as Keno Pop is a challenge this week, I have long been curious if anyone has hit the 100,00 tokens. The highest I have won is 10,000. Just curious. Good luck to everyone.
jmlsnoop says
Woo Hoo!!!! Finally finished Keno, met some great people tho. The highest I have ever hit was 10,000 too.
Off to figure out personals and work on an album. GL All!!!
Faith says
For KenoPop, if you have 2 accts., you can double browse and do the badge on 2 accts at the same time….gets the badge for both accts. done faster.
goNILor4p says
The Keno Pop room I was in this morning temp 50030 got 9 balls correct, but they only wagered 1 so it only scored them appr 5200 points. BUMMER
goNILor4p says
CORRECTION: I WAS IN REVERANT RAINBOW, no temp rooms were open at the time
parksgirl0o4 says
AGENT 99 — YOU DO NOT need to clear the powers up you already recieve so if you have 3 in your little cup it still counts it has for me everytime i have played.. if it’s not for you it may be part of the many glitches then..
seasmoke1414 says
I played KenoPop first, for no particular reason except that I knew it would take a while to get the badge. I played in Temp. Rm. 50030 with lots of my BH friends. We popped and chatted and made badge progress, slow but sure. It took me just under 3 hours. I encountered no problems whatsoever. However, some players in the room mentioned the disappearing ranks issue. I ranked out in KenoPop sometime last year. Most players who complained that their rank had been reset to 1 (or 0) had reached the mid-to-high 40s for rank. KenoPop is unquestionably one of Pogo’s more boring games, but it can be pleasant if you play with friends. I also racked up a LOT of tokens in the process of pursuing the badge, approx. 50,000! I assume other players did likewise. I only got one “mega” score, a bit over 5,000 in one “pop”. The rest of the tokens were for scoring with 4 or 5 balls, occasionally with a multiplier.
My highest ‘score’ ever for KP was 10,000. However, I have been in game rooms when someone did hit 100,000. So it does happen, just not to most of us. ;>
The power-ups received do count whether you use them or not. But why not use them and get the extra tokens? You can only store three of each type. If #4 comes along and the storage caddy is full, it goes off into cyberspace and it’s wasted. I’ve had it happen because I wasn’t paying attention. Granted, it’s no great loss, but a few extra tokens here and there are nice.
I saved Rainy Day Spider for last because I knew it would be a quickie . . . a reward for persevering with KenoPop. I had a heck of a time getting into a room, due to the absence of temporary rooms when I was ready to play, shortly after 10:00 a.m. I tried to access Live Chat, but it was simply missing from the Help page. I was stuck with sending e-mail to Customer Service (to which I have yet to receive a reply). This is not the first time Pogo has either disabled Live Chat or it went away because of high traffic. It seems to occur at times when Customer Service would be experiencing a high volume of complaints. In any event, I did succeed in entering a game room by using the “Play Now” button. As others have said, it was a “quickie” badge; it took me 15-20 minutes to play 2 games on Easy and get the badge.
I was already in a KenoPop game room when 7:00 a.m. rolled around . . . ready to “pop”. I wanted to be there early so I could play with BHers. Had I known Pogo would neglect to have temporary rooms ready for RDS, I would have been in an RDS game room first and avoided some hassles. But . . . I had fun playing for the KP badge and met with success getting into an RDS room fairly quickly.
GL to all who have yet to work on their badges or have badges in progress.
Kali says
On my 2nd account where I had never played KenoPop before, I went from rank 0 to rank 23. No hints, just click and wait 2.5 hours. Maybe watch TV or a movie in the background =)
For Rainy Day, play on easy, and if you have the choice of moving more than one of a card (for example you have 3 piles with a 4 on top and another pile with a 5 on top)… the undo button is your friend. Use your free cells wisely and use your free column a ton (the 5 tokens you get for not using it are not worth it imho).
Cyrabi says
Hello All. For Rainy Day you don’t have to win the game to get credit and play on Easy, all the cards are black. For Keno Pop pick your numbers and keep hitting the button. I was able to get to Rank 49 in Keno Pop. 🙂
boop says
In spite of Pogo’s denial, I still believe they “adjust” the game that is involved in a badge to make it more difficult. I am ranked out in Keno Pop and it was never this hard to get the vertical power ups. They say it would be too involved to make such an adjustment and novice that I am realize they program difficulty levels into some games so why not all. Just my vent for the day.
Karen says
A few words about the Keno Pop badge.
1. It took me more than 4 hours to get that badge. Weekly badges should take no more than 2 hours to win, IMHO.
2. A system glitch made it impossible for me to bet 10 per game; it only let me bet 9.
3. For all the time and patience it took to get the badge, I did manage to win at least 15,000 tokens while playing.
