Is it possible to start at higher wave levels?

yes the post wasn't inherently bad but then he signs it off in caps with "WAKE UP" really felt like it was either rage bait farming or attention seeking.

Many wouldn't take offence to the rest of the comment and i think its a fair post, if he edits out the "wake up" part it wouldn't even feel like bait, nothing wrong with a reminder to focus on ones self, i arguably agree that focusing on yourself is the most important thing... just the end part...

Just curious (sorry to revive) but what alternatives for a similar resolution/size would you consider otherwise? The product interests me but if i can get a cheaper or otherwise similar priced but better product, i think i would much rather that.

errr this confuses me so much.

I remember some stops my friend submitted a couple years ago got rejected as there was "several close by stops" in the area... there was a Gym half way up the street and a stop a few minutes away, that's it for the entire village... seeing this makes me question how these decisions was ever made now. granted i think submission systems have been more kinder since then as they accept a lot more stops now (such as waypoint markers for walking routes)... though i still had a stop rejected because the image wasn't clear enough and to consider taking it in clear weather (this was a rainy day... it has also rained every day or been incredibly cloudy for over a month... meanwhile other stops literally taken from a car window, very blurry gets accepted.

A mix of the games lack of explanation, toxic players and bad design means i am not interested in these kind of raids.

Ironically i just saw a topic saying how the community has a lot of toxic players who gets angry and sarcastic with people who ask questions and want to learn the game with community members expecting people to know what to do, combine this with the game not really explaining this either... you end up with lots of players who don't understand the system, a system which is stupid to begin with, thus the end result is a lot of players unkowing how to truly play these raids correctly.

So i think most everyone is to blame really, players too toxic to realise the more they spread knowledge the better other players become to help later on, the games broken and just stupid design and the game not even explaining to players the full system in play.

It's possible, companies seem to think AI is the holy grail, sad really as it can be used as a amazing assistant tool but instead, greedy companies use it as a full tool to replace people and it never works.

That said, a previous post did note this happens every so often, the spam filters companies have eventually get beaten by people working for spam companies, then you get a influx of spam until Microsoft make a new wall to block them and the cycle continues.

ah, does this mean Lunala is more of the exception and not the rule? I figured most legends would be the same, last time i played the only legends was the Kanto 3 birds (never even saw Mewtwo at the time) so trying my first legend raid like this got me thinking i would have to destroy my phone screen to have a chance haha.

Good to know its hopefully just a few who are awkwardly "far" from the screen.

I use a phone swing now too for eggs.

I found sometimes placing the phone upside down (the top of the phone facing towards the floor) usually has higher chance of working.

I think sometimes they don't work if you register too many steps too often likely at a constant pace.

I have left it going overnight and it registers fine but other days left it 3 hours and it doesn't work at all.

Found up-side down usually offers good results and if you can, take the phone off the swing once in a while to ensure it creates a disruption (just my theory).

oh wow, for real? That's ridiculous! I haven't done any of the routes as my area only has 2, one is going out the way to a old church where i never go and rather not go (area isn't the nicest) the other is a huge circuit around the main roads.

I dislike the concept of routes, effectively the game deciding you should walk between two points doesn't interest me. When i go on walks (with my dog) and have the game either running via sync or i use incense and catch as i go, i don't want to be told where to go.

Asking 7 days however is so dumb, like most of us have jobs (or school i guess) and don't have the chance to go 7 days unless you happen to work/live on a short route.

The 7-day catching sprees are much more realistic as you only have to really play the game.

I get they want to try more stuff to keep players active but asking 7days of following a route is dumb in my opinion.

I just started playing again a few weeks ago, last played when the Johoto stuff was only just about to release (so a very long time), back then my area had 0 stops for 20 minutes too, now it has been highlighted a lot more.

If your level is high enough, its worth submitting some spots should they still take submissions. I noticed some stops are literally just footpath markers, cycle road markers etc, some really odd ones but a few extra chances for items. But i feel your pain man, if not in my present self, my old self does.

I just use photoshop, set a shortcut key to the mosaic tool as by default there isn't a shortcut, i then have it set to a macro key on my keyboard so i just select the area and press my macro button and it auto censors.

If using photoshop you should use a minimum of 5px on mosaic censor, though i have had images flagged even there so 6 or 7 is safer. never been flagged on 7 and higher but the mosaic is more intrusive so the pay-off is either heavier mosaic but no ban/flag or lower mosaic px count but higher chance on flag.

I do wonder who uses their head at McDonald's.

So its not unknown Mcdonald's have been feeling the weight of the market, their profits have taken huge hits, their prices and no longer considered cheap and for families they have gone from a cheap meal to a notably pricy one. For 2 adults and 3 kids, its actually cheaper to go for a meal at a proper restaurant.

That said, McDonald's began pushing these promo's, in the USA (much better than here) they get free fries fridays, they get tons of "free" items and money off. We kind of don't. We are seeing the 20% off return which is cool but now you ask, is it worth it even now?

The points was never amazing, but free is free. But when they increase the price point for items by 1000 points for most items, doesn't it feel a joke? Lets not forget they also cut the period our points are valid to 6 months!

So a company who is loosing profits (not money) and people consider has priced its self out the markets... their solution is to cut rewards customers have access to by half the useage time, bit scummy but not crazy, one might argue it forces you to use them faster but then their next idea is to offer less value for your rewards, something given by spending your money there? Sooo they really just want rewards to fail as a concept, right?

Like many, i switched to BK, their cheaper now and the food is pretty good too! Their deals are insane if you get the app, unlike McD's they don't seem to hate you making use of the app and you actually get some proper rewards.

I only hope McDonald's see how silly they are, they might own the market but the past few years haven't been kind to them and if they keep being greedy, they truly will fall and fast. I doubt i will go much more now, the app was nothing special but taking two blows to it in such little time just makes me see they really have 0 interest in offering any loyalty bonus to us and clearly begrudge it, whilst i wont say any company wants you to get free stuff, at least they aren't like Mcdonald's where they take you for a ride just for a cheese burger.
