Quick-Draw Poker: The Return

Topic: Feedback
Today, we're bringing back Quick-Draw Poker to Gamesville after a brief hiatus. All known bugs have been fixed, so if you see weird behavior in the game, please let us know.

Perhaps more importantly, we're looking to make some enhancements to the game over the next few months so that it more lives up to its name.

If you have ideas of what you'd like to see in Quick-Draw Poker, please post them here and we'll take them under consideration as we start building out the plan for where to take the game next.

You haven't fixed all the bugs.  The games are still spontaneously resetting, over and over.   Surely this is a 'known issue' on your end.   Sometimes our points are still there afterward; sometimes they aren't.  Nuff said.

The new emoticons are no improvement.  They're too small for the level of detail they contain.  There's no way that I'm playing these games at 800x600 just so that I can make out the emoticons.  Boo Hiss for replacing the thumbsup and thumbsdown emoticons with a checkmark and an X.  At the very least bring those two back.

The updated badges aren't so hot.  A couple look nice.  The rest are just like the emoticons ... too small for the detail to show. 

A little coordination would be nice, too.  You updated the badges but didn't update the 'What are GV Rewards' help page at the same time.  That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The existing chat format is sorely lacking.  A functional chat would be a big plus, with the ability to select text and cut, copy, paste, as well as sending the cursor to the beginning or end of the line with the Home or End key, respectively.

Another nice addition would be a Bonus Game counter.  Many people save Bonus Games for the end.  It would be great if we could see how many Bonus Games have accrued instead of having to figure it out manually.

After playing for a couple of hrs, a screen came up saying you were resetting server.  It came back up, however my 22,610 accumulated points are gone.  What's happening to my points???  Very frustrating!

This comment is about the site overall, and it's not a nice one.  Stop reading now if you don't like angry criticism.

Never before have I seen a website create such chaos and ongoing aggravation for its users.  From all appearances, you don't test before you upload things and, if you do test, then you've got serious, serious problems to sort out with your staff or whoever it is that's coding and maintaining this site. 

 I'm personally curious to know what's up with the use of .png files over .gifs. You have no graphics on this site that warrant using the .png file format.  It's insanity.  I'd be happy to explain the difference between, and the appropriate uses of, each file format.   

Bottom line is that what you're doing is amateur crap.   You're so-called improvements have done wonders if your goal is to ruin our gaming experience.  The site functions dismally.  Lags and connectivity problems have been a daily issue for months.  Months!  It's beyond unacceptable.  People have left Gamesville in droves.  It amazes me that you have any advertisters at all.    

My suggestion.  Hire professionals, get the interminable updates overwith already and get the games back to functioning the way that they should before you lose all of your members.  If your response is that you have professionals working on the site, then FIRE them and hire competent professionals.

This game stinks.  Server resets and takes all my points away.

I'm glad you got rid of the bugs and the GV points register properly.  Please don't change the game itself; I love Draw Poker.

I'm missing the double button; did you make that change already?
