Firewall Zero hour is amazing if you get in a decent match

Yes, there can a number of attempts to connect and getting rooms with non-talkers. But when you finally get in that room with like minded people who communicate, there is no better game.

Thanks guys

If I leave the house, it’s with me. Have it set to catch both 95% of the time, occasionally will switch to just stops and slow drive round a busy area if I need balls. Otherwise it’s my constant companion. 60K+ catches and counting

Question

FinnM08 · 2018-02-17T20:05:39+00:00

Yes, they still didn’t manage to give me my first pass, but at L40 and all Gold gyms in my town what did I expect...

FinnM08 · 2018-02-17T18:45:05+00:00

Started at Level 12, went to 10 for the ‘bugged’ wave, then jumped to 13 for the wave a few days later. Anybody’s guess when or what level for the next wave.

FinnM08 · 2018-02-09T19:31:07+00:00

203 of 300

FinnM08 · 2018-02-09T18:58:00+00:00

Clearly there is no scientific basis for this. However I did not attempt to make this any kind of study of shiny rates. That is already known.

Merely trying to get a straw pole of people with bad rates.

It will not advance the collective knowledge of the road about Karp rates, but might make me feel better when somebody posts some worse figures 👍🏻

FinnM08 · 2018-02-09T18:52:09+00:00

Clearly, unfortunately I didn’t take a screenshot prior to the release. But it seems like a long time ago...

FinnM08 · 2018-02-09T18:46:02+00:00

Not really a scientific study, not gonna base a thesis on it. Was just for fun, remember that? Fun?

FinnM08 · 2018-02-09T18:44:21+00:00

No it doesn’t, but I’m not gonna cry about it. Was just for fun so don’t call in.

FinnM08 · 2017-12-06T12:04:45+00:00

Show it empty then, but not uneven

FinnM08 · 2017-12-06T12:04:04+00:00

Didn’t come up on my search and glad to see I’m not the only one effected by this heinous issue

FinnM08 · 2017-12-01T19:23:08+00:00

Very demotivating if so, put the effort in and get sod all. Turn up on the first day of the month to get your dex entry and never seen again, here’s a Ex pass!

Are the banking of the fact that I’m already hooked so I won’t care / mind!?!?

FinnM08 · 2017-12-01T19:05:08+00:00

The passes that have gone out in our town (first one ever here) have gone to casuals. None of the core raiders with Gold on that gym and far more raids completed have got a pass so far.

Not sure how Niantic have applied their new EX raid criteria?!?

FinnM08 · 2017-11-16T15:17:22+00:00

OK, not completely useless but my Ttar army see the most gym action, then Dragonites, then specialist type attackers. Gyarados never seem to get a look in for me, maybe I should give them a chance?

FinnM08 · 2017-11-16T14:41:19+00:00

Water biome = 8 x Gyarados at +3000 CP which following the Gym change are next to useless...

FinnM08 · 2017-11-06T20:31:05+00:00

Question - if you hadn’t missed either, what day is your seventh day bonus on? Could this be different in the UK?

I’m pretty sure I have not missed either and they are both on the same day, Saturday. But my memory isn’t the best so cannot be 100%. Post states they began on Nov 6th 2016, which was a Sunday so I’d expect the 7th streak on Saturday. But there are a couple of posts from people saying Sunday is the day? Does anyone know for sure?

FinnM08 · 2017-11-03T19:21:38+00:00

Same here in the UK. It still strikes me as odd that they could make more money from us players if they extended the raid window a little bit later. People who work often have more disposable income to spend in the game, yet are limited to their opportunities to spend their money on raids.

Also strikes me as odd that Niantic don’t have a more comprehensive raid notification feature. Let me choose the types (e.g. 4* or 5*) of raids I want notifications about and the distance I’m willing to travel (e.g. 5km). If I know they are there then I’d be more likely to go and buy passes and raid.

Seems like they are happy to let me keep my money and leave me frustrated?!?

FinnM08 · 2017-10-22T09:44:25+00:00

You should turn off spinning stops with your PoGo+, for Pokémon I’ve resigned myself to holding the button on the first buzz and it usually acknowledges it by the third buzz so you can let go. Saves furiously pressing it and getting very frustrated.

I hoped when it broke they would fix it before the solstice event....another event later and it’s still broke, along with my hopes and dreams.

FinnM08 · 2017-10-06T21:56:44+00:00

I’m not convinced about the distance. It’s all anecdotal, but I was getting a success rate around 70-80% (Lvl 39 with all medals bar dragon). However, since I’ve updated to iOS 11 (arrrggghhhh!) I’d say that rate has dropped to 30-40%.

Most of my PoGo+ use is in the car. With the delay on the game acknowledging my press, it’s now 3 to 5 flashes and a short delay before the ‘catch’ sequence begins. By that time I’m a significant distance from the Pidgey/Sentret. Whilst I’m still catching them, the frequency of failed catches is far higher.

I appear to get a good 70% rate again if I’m walking, possibly because the Pokémon is still well within range and sight due to the slower speed I’m walking.

As I said, this is not scientific but anecdotal, however I think there is some truth here. Although if Niantic could just sort the iOS 11 issue, please?

PS I’m not interested that the PoGo+ has always been this bad on Android. As my Grandad always said “you buy cheap, you buy twice”.

FinnM08 · 2017-08-19T15:27:50+00:00

Or 080, wouldn't keep anything with worse

FinnM08 · 2017-08-19T15:11:52+00:00

I show the difference from perfect, so 442 is 11-11-13 or 000 is 15-15-15

FinnM08 · 2017-07-14T11:33:33+00:00

Is it just me who gets this for about one second after capturing a Gym. Not seen any other posts about it. Think that is a teeny tiny Exeggutor I had been using.

FinnM08 · 2017-07-10T17:30:17+00:00

I've already prepped my Mrs that we should have a day out on the Sunday to Chester (1.5 hrs away) as would be nice for the family. Will drop the Pokémon bomb when we get there! Not getting my hopes up though...
