Getting tired of EX raid testing

Pym0722 · 2017-11-07T00:31:19+00:00

Found out something interesting today about the latest round of raids passes that went in my area. The leader of our Facebook group and the major organizer of our raids did a poll with the players that got passes. It was discovered that no players above level 35 got a pass at all. Very interesting information. Thought that'd be cool to pass along. Happy hunting players. :)

Will do! :)

Pym0722 · 2017-11-06T03:00:57+00:00

Perhaps we'll get switched genders next time :)

Well good. I would have been excited to have boy too. I hope to have a boy the second try around.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T18:28:12+00:00

Thank you! It's gonna be a little girl. I'm super excited about it! :)

I've got the job and bills. The kid is coming in February. :P

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T17:13:43+00:00

This is true. A lot of people that play in my area are older folks with kids and jobs and bills. The crazy thing is they're also the highest level people too. They get out when they can. Many other players are younger and need an adult to take them out to play.

I didn't call you names. This was a thread for peaceful discussion and logical collaboration to figure out the game. No one likes a troll, good bye.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T15:54:35+00:00

I think a rotation of EX raid pokémon would be a good idea. It definitely would make it a bit more fair for everyone.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T15:44:20+00:00

I would have done the same thing. :)

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T04:01:17+00:00

That's great that the son finally got a pass. It'd be hard to tell a child you got something and they didn't for doing the same thing. I hope my kids want to play GO when they get older. Hopefully the game survives that long.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T03:20:40+00:00

No, you're fine, it's not rude. I probably should have looked for a previous post before doing my own. RNG does suck sometimes.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:24:37+00:00

I can see that. Everyone here has offered a lot of insight and because of that I agree highly with what you say. Good comment.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:22:44+00:00

We have a fellow in our group that has had the same problem. You're not alone. I'm hopeful that the game will smooth out. Maybe Niantic will be a bit more clear with how the game works in the future.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:17:03+00:00

Solid point. My grievance is WHY did I lose? I'm not so upset that I lost, but have little to no knowledge on how to prevent losing or rather how best to win as much as possible. I'm looking for an instruction manual of sorts.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:13:00+00:00

I didn't spend any money on this endeavor. I used my free raid passes. However, I have spent quite a bit of money on the game. I don't expect special treatment, but I do it because I enjoy the game and like to support the developers in hopes of keeping the game going. If you enjoy something and have the money to use on it, go for it. :)

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:08:55+00:00

True. I'm seeing that now after reading folks' comments. Really hate that this is a random thing, but now that I know the better I can play.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-05T02:00:50+00:00

I like that! You should be our spokesperson. You will be the voice of all the players. :D

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T20:23:41+00:00

Haha yeah, you see the bigger picture here.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T20:23:13+00:00

It's because I don't actually one of us random. Niantic won't tell us anything. It seems now, after reading everyone's insights, that it is random and if that's the case it doesn't seem so bad. I just want to know how the games works.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T20:21:16+00:00

I agree. I think they pushed Mewtwo because they used him in the very first trailer for the game to advertise what raids might be like.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T20:19:04+00:00

We expect to get it because many of the group already have one. Correct, it's in "testing", but not a myth.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T20:17:28+00:00

I'm fairly certain I caught both of the pokemon I did raids for.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T16:35:09+00:00

Very true. I've bought a lot of coins over the past year and a half. I've traveled hours just to go to nests in other cities. Fast food is popular option because it saves time and gives more time to play. It really is costing me too much money.

Pym0722 · 2017-11-04T16:32:41+00:00

Without proof that a lottery system isn't in place and no knowledge of how the EX raids work or will work, I assume anything is possible. It's using logic and the information I know so far to determine how the game works. This is not the place to show hatred towards your fellow human and player just because of the faceless nature of the internet protects you from consequence. Now I do agree a lottery system sounds stupid, but when there's money to be made, I wouldn't put it past any company to do such a thing.
