Pogo Mini: Head BEARly above water!Happy Weekend Everyone!

Do you re-do badges? If so, why or which types?

The weekend open thread is a regular feature at BadgeHungry. Every weekend, we answer the discussion question above, and chat about anything game-related. It’s a great place to test the waters of commenting and introduce yourself, ask for help with a game or challenge, or talk about your games and make friends.

See you in the comments!

  1. I don’t usually re-do badges, however I have found that the old badges that have been re-released have given pogis (not all) and if I happen to activate one that doesn’t I just let time run out unless it’s a quick badge.

    Hope you all have a great weekend.

  2. I do not redo badges. I have no reason to. We no longer get anything for doing a badge for a second time except if it now gives pogis and did not in the past. Then I do redo it. For that reason, I have found I do not even play a lot of the games I used to play a lot.

  3. I don’t re-do badges unless another member gives me a good reason to re-do a badge.

    Question? On the new Pogo is there a way I can choose a room for Poppit Bingo? I can choose a room on classic but I’m trying to play my games only on the new Pogo.

    Another question? Are the M&M albums going to stay? I’m trying to complete them and I wish I knew in advance that they are here to stay so I don’t have to rush.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    • Sadly no, you cannot pick your rooms while playing in New Pogo.
      So enjoy it while you can…we only have 2 more weeks of being able to choose a room we wish to play in.

      • Thanks for replying. I couldn’t find rooms in the new pogo but figured I would ask just in case.

        I think we have until Feb. 9th to play in Classic.

        Thanks again,
        Dee

  4. No, I do not re-do badges any more. I did all the time when we were getting tokens for them. Since there is no reward for it, I do not repeat them. Have a great weekend everybody…..stay warm.

    • I’m with you, Faith…. redid them all the time for personals each week just to get the tokens! No repeats now, though!

      • Agree with Faith & Susan, no longer redo badges & I did for tokens under the personal each week.

  5. Not anymore. Pogis took the fun out of that.
    The requirements are so high that earning pogis takes precedence
    I used to redo badges when there were events to do x amount of badges in x amount of days
    Have a good weekend.
    Another snowy weekend here

  6. Have never redone a badge, too much going on, and do not see the need to start now.

    Have a Great and Safe Weekend All 😊

  7. I’ve always been a one, won, and done person 🙂
    However, if I go to multi-activate and don’t get as many as I want done, I will go find an easy/fast badge I have completed to replace the one that shows as activated.. Then I replay that easy/fast badge and go back to finish my multi-activating.
    It works well.

  8. What’s going to happen to our mini’s when we can only access the new site and how would we find the site. Pogo said we would get to keep them?

  9. Not since Pogis came out. When there were tokens, I used to do them to pass the time sometimes. 🙂

    Cute, cute, cute Mini, Lura!! 🙂

    Have fun, everyone!! 🙂

  10. use to redo badges to get token for mall..no need them now mall gone just like friends..

  11. Used to do it all the time, actually kept a database of how many times I had done each one…played well over 200 of them right down to 0 tokens, since the demise of tokens I don’t replay them any more.

  12. Was never a fan of redoing badges but sometimes did for the tokens.

    After they changed to pogis (and since we can only earn pogis the first time) I don’t see a good reason to re-do any badge anymore. Why lose my time for nothing?

    I don’t think they we get a x2, x3, etc. next to the badge anymore. Do we?
    (When looking our badges on the new site)

    I’ll aks again, Why re-do? What for?

  13. I still redo personal Wed. badges only to gauge my progress for rank. Speaking of ranks in any of the games, how does one check out their standing in the new site? I am playing like crazy with my favorite games while I am able to see my progress. Where in the new Pogo site am I able to find my rank in any game? Please help.

    • To see your rank in a game in New Pogo, in that game at the right side you will see a column of seven symbols. Click on the next to last one (it looks like a bar graph topped by a mostly horizontal line with an arrow on the end) and you will see your current rank.

      You will also see how many rank points you would need to reach the next rank. Unfortunately, this information is of limited value as Pogo does not specify what a “rank point” is in any given game.

      • Hi Frank
        in the new game you can see your progress by the icons on the side bar. Under the B for badge progress you will see a sguigly arrow going up. If you click on that you can see your level and where how much more you need to do for the next one. I hope that helps.

  14. In the game, on the right side of the screen, there is a column of icons: Home, Full Screen, Play, Badge Progress, Stats and Sound. In the Stats you will find rank progress, some metrics and some odds-n-ends. Up top you will see Rank and what it takes to get to the next one. Good luck! coco

  15. I used replay Fortune Bingo. I just loved that game. When java was gone, I never really redid any badges. Now its not worth it.

  16. Like everyone else, I redid badges (when we had tokens) when I ran out of new MnMs to do in a game. It was like a gift that kept on giving. There is absolutely no reason to do that now. So it’s one and done.

    However, there are so many special events and marathons now, I probably wouldn’t even have the time.

    My only complaint is that there are rarely any challenges in Double Deuce Poker. I love video poker. I wish they had more of them so I could practice strategies for the real thing (casinos). There are so many varieties and I only know a couple.

  17. Hi. I do not redo badges. After I have won the badge, there seems to be no reason to it over. I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

  18. I am getting frustrated. Bad enough that Quinn is in every collection of badges but it is almost always a long challenge. Because I purchase every badge as soon as it is available and many of the badges are in packages now, I don’t have a choice about what album I can put this badge in. Leaving it for last in the album makes it 2 badges in jeopardy.

    Really isn’t 10 wins or even 15 wins enough of a challenge to win 300 pogos. Why 40? This just makes many players want to skip purchasing a badge, or a package. Pogo is hurting themselves.

    I really don’t like to complain but I have this compulsive disorder that demands me to purchase everything, and work on it until it is done. Having over 17,000 badges to date, I don’t want to even imagine how much I have spent not only in badges, but…grrrr…power ups also. Come on Pogo give us a break. You aren’t even giving us gem packages at a discount to help alleviate the costs.

    Thank you Lura for providing a site that is and has been helpful in so many ways. Venting here has helped, lol. Everyone good luck, be safe,

  19. Just a reminder that there will be an Event in Bejeweled Stars starting February 9th. And it is also the February Game of the Month.

    You still have time to get to level 125 so you can purchase the good power ups with coins. And you should also work on picking up some extra coins so that it’s easier to complete the Event.

    The last event was 15 levels, and some of them were not easy unless you had access to the star gems and hypercubes. You need to be at level 125 to purchase the hypercubes with coins.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    Suz

    • I have complete all levels in Bejeweled stars without ever purchasing coins. Level 2 is easy to accumulate coins in. 20 coins each time you complete it and it is easy and fast to complete

      You can accumulate thousands of coins and use them to purchase power ups to complete other levels or finish daily badges or the upcoming event.

      • I’m ranked out and have over 100,000 coins. I’m all set, but I remember what was said back in October. And it was too late for some of them to get to level 125. I’m just trying to get them to do that now, before it’s an emergency 🙂

        Suz

    • Thank you for the heads up! I’m still not at level 125 (I’m not good at this game, I’m better at Quinn’s). I’ll try to get to 125 before the event stars.

      Thanks again,
      Dee

  20. I used to replay on old Pogo just for tokens in games I played anyway. No more since no point to even play old beloved games. I wish Pogo would become as engaging as it used to be. Sigh, saturated with MS (not hard, but enough), another daily with QA … I’m just stunned to see a game used from old Pogo for anything.

  21. No, I don’t do badges over but I have noticed on badges that you use gems for that you could buy a badge for 16 gems and then you’ll see the same exact one for 20 gems. I’m glad I saw the one for 16 gems first. So be ware everyone. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. If you’re in line for this snow storm 1/31/21 be safe and stay warm.

    • The 20 gem one is the Platinum version, and awards 600 Pogis. It’s a much better value than the 16 gem badges.

  22. Hi,
    I do not redo badges anymore due to the reason of not getting anything out of it. Sadly I do not even have any for personals. I wish Pogo would put pogis on all badges from the past that have not been won yet. I have over 50 badges that I will probably never do because I get no reward for them. Most are in Mahjong sanctuary and the rest are from challenges that I activated but did not finish them.
    I wish they would add pogis to those and make badges so we can do personals.

    Have a great weekend and stay safe.

  23. I do not redo badges; accidently did once without knowing I did many, many moons ago.

    Off topic and need help if anyone can……I’m stuck in Peggle Blast at level 175, needing to get 6 extreme slides. I’ve tried and tried but don’t seem to know the “key” to getting it done. HELP, if you can, badgehungry family!!!

  24. Can we extend a badge like we used to could? I have a badge which expires in less than an hour and I’m more than halfway. I hate to start over again : It’s for 1000 Pogis

  25. I used to redo badges down to the last token. Now, I do not because the reward system is different.

  26. I re-do an easy Hidden Object episode when working on a daily, weekly, or mix and match challenge. I also re-do a mix and match badge from a completed album if the completion badge wasn’t awarded.
