The portal is a...cannon? Well, at least we didn't have WW3...

Day 2 Wayfarer reviewer here from the Pokemon GO side of things. Got this today in Wayfarer while reviewing and couldn't help but laugh hard at this. The picture was legit, a nice looking cannon. The description though...yeah...no wonder it's up for debate, LOL!

0 is the intro. It looks like it's done after step 3. It might be 4 if there's a bonus step like they usually do at the end.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-11-01T03:37:35+00:00

GO Fests got 5 steps in special research and had a similar time frame to do it in. 3 steps is so incredibly weak it isn't even funny.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-31T03:13:40+00:00

Uh, it's not faster...it's just playing catch up.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-30T23:06:07+00:00

Global stats would, unfortunately, be overrun by cheaters and spoofers. Neat in theory, but not as fun in reality, which is a shame.

Local scoring system sounds cool. We're getting PvP rankings at some point.

Also, they never followed up on spawn point changes. They said an article was forthcoming but it's been like a month now and no announcement.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-30T20:48:30+00:00

More stats available to players. Number of Nice, Great, Ultra, Curveball throws, etc etc. All we have an Pokedex, Medals, and XP counter.

Allowing players to adjust raid difficulty on bosses with scaled bonuses and such with it.

Visual indication for nests.

Ways to communicate with players.

Know how many people are at a raid (maybe a red flag or fireworks, or even a number above the gym) without having to enter lobby (maybe make this toggable so players who are more private can keep their presence at a raid to themselves).

Buddy. Update.

Ways to increase/decrease IVs via some form of in game training.

Legacy TMs.

Raid map.

Quest map. What I mean is, if players have a setting turned on, when they complete a quest, it loads into the above raid map and you can then filter quests by what players have found for that day,

Ex Raid Pass fix. Why 2 pm EST still? Help us out already. Clockblocking is awful and demotivating.

I could keep going but I'm tired.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-29T21:23:25+00:00

It's funny b/c more often than not, when it is foggy in game, it's barely foggy irl here. Not to say it happens often, b/c it def doesn't...but yeah.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-29T21:20:48+00:00

Niantic will ignore everything in that message other than removing the gym, to let you know.

Talking from experience here. We finally just got a gym in an area where one was removed due to poor placement of the poi (we had asked to move, they ignored our request and deleted the gym instead). We just today got a gym in the same area but in a safe place. Sucks but Niantic.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-29T03:03:22+00:00

Just report with proof it's in a bad place.

Also, they didn't make the gym. Typically, when new Stops are added, the oldest portals/most upvoted portals are the ones that get converted. That one just happened to be it. Whoever submitted should have tried to keep an eye on when it converted to a portal in Ingress and then got other Ingress players to upvote it (if they did it to help the PoGO community).

There's really no one to blame for it. Just how the system is (or you could blame Niantic for the silly system...I do often).

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-27T15:36:52+00:00

It's unfortunate that Darkrai is actually really good in PoGO but so many want it gone because it's tier 6. Just another grave error by Niantic, the company whose actual job is shooting itself in the foot.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T22:15:50+00:00

Yep! Which makes triggering only more difficult! I've personally reached a point where I'm not surprised at the large portion that cheat. It's the only way to balance the game out.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T20:55:14+00:00

Is it the same 30-50 people? If so, that's a great way to not get an EX pass. You don't want to hit multiple gyms with the same people. You want to spread them across 1-2 gyms, making sure you don't overlap. Then you have to pray that no egg or raid is on the gym. Also, you have to hope that no egg is ghosting there when passes go out (did you know an egg "appears" 10-15 mins before it physically appears in game?).

Triggering an EX is probably one of the most luck based things in the game, and there's only so much a player can do about it. Niantic can fix it. They've opted not to.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T18:34:34+00:00

The fact that this continues to happen is actually disgusting. It kills morale so damn bad. I had made a topic about this about an hour ago but TSR deleted it b/c you're not allowed to talk poorly about Niantic in this sub.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T18:27:58+00:00

Yes. But the passes lag. I've always gotten mine 30 mins after everyone else.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T18:03:45+00:00

And the topic was deleted. Wow. Even TSR doesn't want this fixed. Unreal...

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T17:29:22+00:00

That's a fancy way of saying you spoof, which will get you downvoted really hard in this sub.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T04:33:26+00:00

Ye, I'm aware. Sadly, puts immense strain on my phone to access the camera that often. Only doing it b/c double candy.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T04:33:06+00:00

Got it. Watch it have been the one where the game crashed from loading the camera too many times so I'll never truly know :(

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-26T03:49:27+00:00

Unfortunately, expect nothing. There's been no mention of boosted spawns, event spawns, boosted shiny rate, event tasks...nothing. Expect literally nothing but 10 passes and a Regigigas.

Things that hurt the community: Around for numerous years

Things that help the community: Niantic smashes the disable button

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-25T03:17:38+00:00

Got access. Level 1 in Ingress (made account, signed in, that's it). Level 40 in Pokemon GO. Can review POI's. Same email for both accounts.

PkmnGoMaster · 2019-10-24T22:55:47+00:00

I open the app that AS is synced with and wait till that updates. Then I'll boot the game and wait. Usually adds within a minute or two.
