Mostly, I wait a month because Pogo dials back the requirements for many games, especially slots about a month into the game. They also seem to have a lot of errors with their games. Finally, I have had to wait to make sure that the cheat programs actually "work", work overnight and do whatever it is that Pogo requires for badges.

As for hard/soft launch, it is a professional term that describes how Pogo (and many other companies) release new products. Pogo conducts beta testing on new games. From what I can tell, Pogo has a very poor beta testing program, since they apparently ignore the test results and commentary from their beta testers. From there, the game goes into soft launch. This is where you can play it and choose it for your favorites list. However, some features or badges may not be fully active. They can also be broken. During the period of time when thousands and thousands of players are playing the game, or using their cheat programs, Pogo finalizes the fixes for the program, conducts the hard launch and activates secret badges if they are available.

Soft/hard launch is the EXACT reason why secret badges cannot always be won when the game is first released. Soft launch delayed the release of Mahjong Safari secret badges. Soft launch is delaying the release of the Beaker Creatures secret badge. People ask the question all the time. Most people like having good information. This site is called PogoCheats and people come here to get information on how to get badges with their cheat programs. Others appear to be trouble-makers that are interested in drawing attention to themselves instead of trying to contribute.  blowkisses.gif

If it came to that Tara, you should give Homer a butt implant. Have you seen how fast he can jump between threads?

I totally disagree. When the game comes out, play it and rank out. Get it over with. Who cares what your stats say, or how many badges you got in a day? If pogo wanted to ban you they wouldn't have to check your stats or badges to do it. 

Since I'm responding I might as well say...wtf is a soft launch? Isn't that what you hope you wake up to every morning?  Soft launch - hard launch...good grief. That's about as bad as referring an auto to an uncle otto.  rolleyes.gif

They would be doing me a favor if they ever take my account. I wouldn't ever start over again and would spend that extra money on a butt implant or something.  giggle2.gif

I don't speak for Joe but I took away from his post the message that he wants to wait until kinks are worked out of the game (changes have been known to take place) and, also, out of the auto.  That's what I got from it, anyway.   girl5.gif  I, and most people, usually have tons of other things to work on.

I'm glad you took away from his post whatever you took away...I wasn't knocking his post or trying to take anything away from it. I was stating my opinion on how I do badges and that was all I meant by it.  I'm done with everything therefore I don't have tons of other things to work on like most of you do.  bad mood.gif
