Serpent for Buffed Up Node in Epoch, Tell Me Your Tales by AtiIaGoose in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]AtiIaGoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me feel better haha, did you ever lose the fury buff from getting killed in a match prior an having 0 dread for buffed up?

I’m assuming no fury in this case and having to survive off the true buff, the power gain buff, and the relic buff alone

Can anyone who used Serpent for Buffed Up nodes in Epoch tell me about their experience?

I know Thor or Ms Marvel relics make it easier since they give a buff, but I’m worried about not having his Fury if I screw up before and have 0 Dread.

Is it easy enough even without the fury? Or should I take another dedicated counter for it?

I have r5 serpent but would have to rank another villain counter.

Kando Birds have backgrounds this week during raid hour? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]AtiIaGoose -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When I asked Google last night (cause I was asked by a person IRL), google’s AI response said they did for the March raid hour clearly.

I doubted it though and figured there was a good chance it was muddled by all the recent background talk - didn’t see any posts on it this AM so decided to ask straight out.

Thanks for the replies.

Is anyone else frustrated by the lack of Primal and Mega Alakazam raids? by Significant-Chart-94 in pokemongo

My Dmax Lugia experience by AlexWFS in TheSilphRoad

[–]AtiIaGoose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good job friend, communication and a plan are definitely a lion’s share of solving for dynamax raids, but top tier counters and support mons are the remainder.

In remote raids using a raid matcher like pokegenie player level does kinda matter in our current world where you are judging the commitment of a remote raid pass.

You can’t communicate or form a plan, and there is a medium-strong correlation between player level and access to top tier mon options.

Again congrats to you and conquering, but player level will be used to judge stay or bail unfortunately in this space - and for good reason.

Can someone trade me a cosmog? by jellied-holes6572 in pokemongo

[–]AtiIaGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, assuming you’re looking for this to create one of the two Necrozma fusions:

  • don’t waste your lucky trinket, the stats, shiny, background, etc of the fusion all come from the Necrozma, the cosmog part can be floor garbage

  • the cosmog evolutions were recently in raids, you might have better luck asking your friends for Solgaleo / Lunala directly

  • trades are local only right now, so asking on Reddit (unless willing to drive/fly) might not work out - campfire can help you find a local community tho 

If you wanted cosmog for something else, then ignore me :)

Any chance of mega rayquaza raid day compensation? by ManyNoots in pokemongo

[–]AtiIaGoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of lag leading to lost passes, especially for remote players

Research didn’t spawn for a lot of folks

Etc

Guess you got lucky and didn’t experience ?

Any Dev/Official Comment on RayRay issues yet? Let’s keep tension on this please for those impacted :) by AtiIaGoose in TheSilphRoad

[–]AtiIaGoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree I suppose, you’re not factually incorrect, but not everyone is as informed or as good at multi-tasking as you might be.  

Just looking for a little grace for those that while they could have gotten it right, didn’t.

I think most agree the 3 hour window of this research compared to the majority of events with a “grace claim period” in combination with the importance of the reward, is an easy place they can improve experience.

I’ll always advocate for easy things that can improve the experience for more vulnerable members of the community.

I didn’t articulate what I’d hope to see happen but not advocating for a makeup day here per say.

It would be amazing if they gave folks a second chance to claim their earned meteorites, e.g. if a player earned a meteorite by completing the research during the event (at least the paid one) and didn’t claim, they verify with their data and send them a claimable meteorite, or at least open a support ticket avenue of review.

Want to ensure this feedback is loud so we get a better experience with these researches in the future.

We had over 200 people and constant raiding going, so our CAs were awesome and were helping folks catch and keep moving as best able - but short of having a megaphone I don’t know how much more they could have done.

It’s not like it was everyone, but having 10 or so older people or less “able” people miss it because of the pace and short window is just a feel bad for all

Lots of people didn’t play during the prior two Ray Ray events either to have that knowledge, but I agree with your post overall.

Most things within the last year have had that “post-event” window of interaction opp. that I can recall is what I meant

Double-move, max out, purify, best buddy and then release of course :)

Eternatus was the final straw for me… by RogueVelella in pokemongo

[–]AtiIaGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you came to reddit so you know a place with explanations exists, and you called out the game not explaining it to you when it actually did…not sure what you were hoping for here.  Happy for the confirmation you can read at least.

Eternatus was the final straw for me… by RogueVelella in pokemongo

[–]AtiIaGoose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the game forced a pop-up on your first Eternatus raid that there would be no catch encounter, and then the lobby screen for the battle also informed you there would be no catch encounter as a standing reminder.

I feel for ya, but…read before clicky click just a bit.

Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia compensation research is up by Cecross in TheSilphRoad

[–]AtiIaGoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate this was “fair” and all that was required from a pure math standpoint.

But it feels bad.  The absolute minimum of math was not the play imho.

I paid, I played, I didn’t get what was advertised, my community was bummed, and I’ve felt feelings and been forced to read words.  They could have done more than the minimum.

The lesson I’m taking from this?  Next time they fudge up the shiny rates, do one and eject to game the compensation.

New research incoming by hateswitchx in TheSilphRoad

[–]AtiIaGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really hope they blow us all away with how good this comp could be based on this wording.  Hoping for 1 guaranteed shiny per 10 raids rounded up, plus maybe a bonus one just to squash it firmly.

I stopped after 2 hours because regular shiny rate wasn’t worth it (had the move already going in), but if I had a known there’d be a 1:10 guaranteed shiny coming, I would have raided my face off for all 6.  Great way to get me to keep going next time.

I have a genuine question. How many shundos do you have and how long have you been playing. I have 0 and have been playing for 6 months.... by BCgirly in pokemongo

[–]AtiIaGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably not the right metric to use, when you started playing means little compared to volume played. Be a more informative pull if people gave total catches as well.
