I've been forced into the aurora graphics against my will so I'm new to the concept of "throwables." At first I thought it was an interesting new feature. It was fun to throw a box of kleenex to somebody who was whining about losing a hand or maybe shoot off some fireworks to celebrate a winning hand. But, man, it got old fast. There would be games where all you would see is fishing lures flying all over the table, poo being tossed in your poor avatars face (really pokerstars, what are we chimps???) Now we get spiders crawling all over the place. It's a bit distracting to say the least. So, I've turned mine off, if you're trying to toss anything in my face, I'm not seeing it. What do you guys think of the throwables?

Iiiiiiiiiii think they're hilarious!
But I am a child at heart...
If I lose a big pot to someone I'll often throw the money throwable at them, because y'know... you have to laugh at yourself sometimes :)

Are we chimps?

Yeeha!

Clearly it is never wrong (in cc stars games) to use "throwables" on someone who hates you so much :cool:

And i dont even care whether these amateurs see it or not :)

It is something I do not pay much attention to. I guess I find it slightly distracting. I think I will try to turn it off.

I have disabled mine too , the big problem I have with Auora graphics engine is not the appearance but it consumes much more sources from my laptop which is not something I particularly love. :(

I don't need it at all. It is distracting.

It's all about preferences. I myself, don't use throwables that often, but there are some golden opportunities that shall not be passed upon.

I can see how it can get distracting in some cases, but the great thing about most of the featurea in poker stars is that you can disable them in a click. Heck you can even disable the damn dealer if he gets too annoying :).

One of many reasons that I left. I know that it can be turned off but now Aurora is forced upon people which I do not like. By trying to fix a good thing that did not need to be fixed they destroyed it. **** Amaya! I play somewhere else now and have deleted Pokerstars from my PC. I have had a Pokerstars account for probably over 10 years before Amaya started destroying it. Maybe give other rooms a chance.

I 100 % cannot stand the throwables !!! It just feels silly to me, and also just an annoying distraction. I know it's not a big deal and some people seem to really enjoy them but sometimes there is crap flying all over the screen in the middle of a hand. GET RID OF THEM I DO DECLARE !!!

Throwing objects at rivals is an interesting thing, but hardly necessary. We are going to play poker and do some kiddie pranks. I don't like this idea.

They are a pain in the ass..great for small freerolls but not so much when multi-tabling in bigger games.
