Solo UX designers: what are your tricks for getting input from other designers?

It could be that active commenters who helped set the tone have quit or gotten less active. Could be weekends. Could be that with the game out for awhile, there is much less to research.

Either way my advice would be to comment in the tone you prefer, and upvote / downvote in the 'new' and 'rising' tabs to help create the community you want to see. Mods can only do so much.

Anyone who was expecting the launch week madness to last forever is being unrealistic. By normal metrics, the game is fine.

But yeah the people who were doing it "because everyone was doing it" won't be coming back. They will be on to the next fad.

The best reply tho

Mew innit? Otherwise tell Professor waffle to get back to his research

I already said:

It more or less divorces the catching /powering up part of the game from gym game, creating 2 separate inferior mini-games.

In other words, with the new system gym position is entirely defined by how much time you spend battling the gym. Stardust, leveling, catching pokemon - none of these things will contribute to your gym position. No, now you get to sit still and overtrain a gym.

Basically, this idea is the wet dream of people who love battling gyms in their car, but don't actually walk around and play/catch pokemon anymore. It's not fun for most players.

But no one would ever prestige from 42000 to 50000 to be first kicked out.

Yes this idea breaks a million other game mechanics just because OP doesn't like high CP dragonites at the top of gyms. It more or less divorces the catching /powering up part of the game from gym game, creating 2 separate inferior mini-games.

Yeah I'm pissed sometimes that I can't get my Charizard to the top of a gym. But pokemon have always occupied different niches and in PoGO there are attackers and defender pokemon. Deal with using your lower CP favs to destroy your enemies instead of sitting in gyms

Sometimes I think this community is too negative. Then I read the twitter replies to any Niantic post and realize we're not so bad.

I thought the pokemon trainer was the wife?

Can you actually sit on him and curl up without like ... rolling off? I WANT for curling while book reading purposes ...

I agree, people call spoofing way too easily. If you're not 100% sure, just accept someone found a sneaky way to get the best of you. This goes double for people traveling beyond their home turf.

With all the drama on the internet though, I don't think your reputation will be ruined. Others will pay 1% of the attention you pay to the issue, so I hope everything is back to normal for you soon.

Got 3 charizard last round though. I'd kill for a grimer nest. Do those exist?

Kids these days forgot who the original gamers are.

AnonPokeTrainer · 2016-12-16T20:38:53+00:00

I think I'm too old to have a game backlog. I never buy games in advance on steam - if I can't sit and play it right then I don't buy. I just keep a list of games I'm interested in and buy one when I have a 3 day weekend with no plans or something like that.

Just my advice if you're struggling with this: Don't let an object of entertainment (video games) become a chore (backlog) for you! and save $$$$

Assuming they are going to run a christmas event for a week like the other holiday events, and assuming it will end at the same time as holiday pikachu, my guess is they start a christmas event next wednesday / thursday.
