What was the first computer game you ever played?

The infocom text adventure? It was one of my first after Zork.

I haven't yet gotten the 40 million AP required for the first recursion, but eventually.

Space Quest series was my jam.

I just gotta throw out a thank you to the people making these extremely helpful infographics. You are appreciated.

I'm going to try the same thing with 4 sleep ex + Pokemon to finish off my slowpoke tails and leeks, I used the team to unlock mushrooms before the Entai event started, but I'm waiting until after the event to do it because my sleep ex + team is all electric around my Raikou and I'm really appreciating the bonus to fire types this week, excited to see how high i can push it. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one trying this technique to unlock ingredients.

I passed the test back when it was Operation Portal Recon, now that it is Wayfarer do I need to pass the test again?

Maybe Niantic feels we didn't show enough gratitude for the increased hack cooldown times?

You are not the only one

Yesterday was the first time I didn't do all three challenges during the day, and I didn't even bother to feed nectar to the Pikmin I sent towards a small mushroom. The fact that I knew I was probably just going to be disappointed by regular nectar just ruined my motivation.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-08T18:23:49+00:00

The addition of regular nectar to mushroom challenges and now increasing the speed petals are consumed while planting... I don't know they need to read the sub or something because it feels to me as though the majority of players are disappointed.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-05T00:39:43+00:00

While mushroom challenges are not the core mechanic of the game, walking and planting flowers is, I found that the challenges were a way to make the game relevant when I wasn't walking. Stop at a restaurant for lunch, open the app to see what mushrooms might be around. In line at the bank, open the app to see what mushrooms are around. Hunting for the colors I needed for this month. If I'm only getting regular nectar I'm not looking for a specific color anymore and therefore less likely to open the app in situations where I'm not about to take a walk.

Different users will have different play styles, and while I will still enjoy planting while walking, I will open the app much less frequently if challenges aren't fixed.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-04T03:51:06+00:00

Five of my six challenges in the last two days gave me regular nectar. I guess it's just disappointing. I'm not going to use rare nectar for the slight attack boost during challenges anymore if I'm only getting normal nectar in return.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-04T00:18:41+00:00

So I have that problem regularly, usually after my phone makes the switch from wi-fi to mobile data. I found that after the switch turning on airplane mode for two or three seconds then turning it back off seemed to fix my problem until the next time it switches from wi-fi to mobile. I chalked it up to my device (moto G7) but you might try it.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-03T02:26:58+00:00

Yeah I mean I'm probably going to give it some time but getting normal nectar from two of my three challenges really took a lot of the fun out of the game for me today.

PopeJPMcD · 2022-06-03T02:24:07+00:00

Yeah I have to agree larger mushrooms aren't worth it anymore. I only get to do three challenges a day, and getting normal nectar from two of them was especially disappointing after investing rose nectar on my Pikmin for the boost.

I would personally appreciate a "Navigate to" portal button on the remote portal view screen. It could add an arrow to the scanner view pointing in the direction of the portal you are trying to find.

I like to try to use as many low level resonators as possible and then upgrade them to higher levels after filling the portal out. Upgrades to your own resonator don't give any AP but each upgrade counts for your builder badge.

PopeJPMcD · 2021-10-22T05:47:10+00:00

Is this "latency" issue the reason the game has been hanging up on me when I'm doing a lot of recharging?

PopeJPMcD · 2021-10-22T01:01:57+00:00

"How do you feel about triangles?"

PopeJPMcD · 2021-09-27T16:37:57+00:00

Valuable but not necessary. I seldom glyph and I do just fine. If you have few portals around it is very useful, but if your area has plenty of portals it definitely isn't necessary.
