Hey all
was wondering if anyone has seen the new chat set up at ignition.
From what I can tell you can't type in custom chat anymore. They have a few smiley emojis and like 6 boxes of pre filled out phrases
you can click.
Like (nice hand ) or ( unlucky) or ( wow).
At least I haven't found a way to type my chat anymore. And I'm not liking this new chat.
what do u guys think and why would they change that . like to hear your thoughts.
Do you like it and do u know why they changed it ??

ya not that I chat a lot it's just weird to put a limitation on it. i mean it does make the game more peaceful.
but at the same time shouldn't completely limit what we can say. almost worry me a little

You're wrong. It was better when you had the ability to chat with people. If were easily triggered by offensive language in the past, you could have just turned off chat. There is no choice now.

BULL CARK!

ya I agree with you, limiting this chat is a bad option, and I dont see how this could be good for there buisness only. only harm it in my opinion.
and why is there a behind the scenes reason they do not want us talking with one another, I guess that my biggest worry than the chatting I guess.
And being able to chat is a big deal when u get to play with such a large group of players, I mean I have met people from online poker and got I to really good study groups . and made other friends.
And they are my favorite place to play these days BUMMER

I believe the reason for this is due to the amount of lag and system issues ignition/bovada has had lately. Try doing a $7 jackpot game without it freezing at 97% loaded. I have had to call so many supervisors due to not even being able to play hands it's ridiculous. They are aware ppl were bringing it up in the chat so they went and eliminated the free chat all together. I also think that their software guys think eliminating the chat will solve the tech issues. If you notice you will see 2-3 ppl "sitting out' at any given table. It's not by choice it's due to the system.
Another bovada/igniton tip. If you have pocket 6's go all in because you will see the third 6 on the board 90% of the time.

I couldn't agree more. It's a psychological advantage and they took it away.

I have been looking everywhere for someone else to mention this, honestly it makes me wonder if they are using bots, because of some of the ridiculous suck outs I've experienced in tourney play...

I would chat occasionally but most of the time monitored chat as it would divulge a mountain of tells. Such as who was liquored up and who wasn't taking the game seriously. Who was paying attention to table image. Who was on the edge of tilting, etc.

Although, it is much more peaceful with the limited chat in place.

So ever since they went in and removed chats i have noticed very suspicious pay. Today in the $20 bounty I had AJ suited went all in to be snap called with K8 offsuit. Wouldn't you know the flop comes KKJ with an 8 on the turn. It's as if he knew pre-flop he was going to hit. I think they have bots playing for them now as I've noticed these suck outs left and right ever since they removed the chat. Ignition/bovada will not get another dime from me for poker. I'l sports bet on bovada but thats it. if you call them always ask for a supervisor because the customer service is garbage.

I called and spoke with a supervisor and she fed be some bs excuse. I called her bluff. She said it was disabled due to complaints. I told her "those people are able to play poker but not smart enough to disable the chat, now it's ruined for all of us"

Can someone explain to me why you can no longer send messages on ignition? They only give you the option to send half a dozen already created ones???

it's a joke now. All the horrible bots going all in with 10-6 and hitting boats. Once or twice yeah but seeing it 10 times in 30 mins is getting old.

this site is getting worse and worse. I had AQ and get called all in with A5 wouldn't you know the 5 hits on the turn. Same guy knocks me out goes all in with 7-9 offsuit and rivers a straight with against my AJ. Fishy it's always the same people hitting the suck outs yet they deny bots. Also funny how they all of a sudden have "real dealers" for their casino games. I'm done with Ignition/Bovada for a while.

Company may of decided to end the trash talking and or other security issues with the players that seem to cause the most trouble at the tables.
Noticed the lack of freerolls now, too. most sites have cut back on free money games.

Looks like a lot of people have given up on them. They have not been hitting their guarantees past few weeks. Frankly, their business model is moronic.
