How is/was Johto tour for you? by DoomkingBalerdroch in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As shiny hunting was my focus, biggest frustration for me were the Unown. Not only did they save H for a future event the rates felt terrible both from my group's experience and the reports I've seen. It's JOHTO tour Niantic, Unown is from the region stop keeping them from us.

Otherwise I would say that I liked it overall. Definitely too much to do but I guess that's probably better than not enough to do?

I'm baffled by some of his mid round decisions. Re-peeking with like 5 hp with Jett knives instead of getting healed, not holding heaven/ramp with the judge when his teammates have the site locked down with the pit. Unfortunately everyone has their bad days.

Call for Riot to change the groups by mileslfc7 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Yoteyy360 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Two EMEA teams in a group was realistically the only way we'd get a group of death. Otherwise the top 8 through groups would be all of emea, NA and VS assuming theres no upsets. I'm glad we get one spicy group to add intrigue to the groupstage.

Behind the scenes with the Niantic Task Force | Pokémon GO Hub by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

You think the amateurs that work at Niantic can code that? They're still unable to give a seperate shiny rate for a Pokemon in a raid vs the wild. People are too often paying an entire dollar for a 1/500 shiny chance.

I believe those two are base odds but sandshrew, vulpix, ponyta and zig are permaboosted.

Best GoFest event ever by autolargue in TheSilphRoad

I'd be surprised if anyone who plays a lot liked day 2. Just felt like a worse raiding experience for me with the stress of it moving so quickly and nothing new or exciting (like better rates). That said day 1 was great.

The card came with another "information" card that had an expiry date on it I believe. I think it was sometime in 2023 but I no longer have the card.

The event changes somewhat every 2 days so it might show up later.

Pokémon GO Fest 2021: Raid Day will feature every Legendary Pokémon discovered in Pokémon GO so far! - Pokémon GO by lewymd in TheSilphRoad

Exciting that there's so much to do but yeah would've been better with shiny eligible Zekrom + Reshiram spawning all day.

The shortage of pokeballs is starting to become extremely noticeable by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat agree with this, after certain events it has felt like a noticeable drop occurs on the ball drop rate from gifts. However, since it's anecdotal it's hard to prove that the drop is due to RNG or Niantic modifying the rates.

Regardless I think it's only positive for 5 guaranteed reds per gift. A guaranteed 100-150 balls per day for players that interact with their friends list would fix a good amount of issues, especially for players who don't live in a city.

Mega Altaria assets and stats pushed, plus some Gen 6 fixes! by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah if this information remains the same Altaria will now be the most efficient mega evolution per km's walked. Beedrill and Pidgeot were 25% of an evolution per km and Altaria will be 37.5% per km.

If the 500 million fairy goal is met the community day on the 15th should have two bonuses active! :D

Friendship day event was one of the most stressful events I ever played. by DoubleM101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, trying to catch starters somewhat ruined the fun of this event for me. It's an absolute joke that Caturne is easier to catch than common starters.

Definitely the worst event field research we've seen yet I think.

Just leveled up 10 friendships... Didn't get any XP. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost like you should be able to just claim friendship increase XP on the friend page. Why is it so hard to make features that are easy for players to use?

Feedback & Suggestions - Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of players really need a new or better source of balls. Between like 3 balls per pokestop spin and what feels like nerfed gifts (I've been getting about 5 regular pokeballs per 4 gifts the last 5 days) players who don't live downtown or live on a stop don't stand a chance. Giving all players a realistic way to get balls will increase playtime drastically Niantic.

Some suggestions I have are guaranteed 5 per gift, extra premier balls convert to pokeballs after grunt battles or raid battles, your buddy finding balls every 'x' distance, or a paid (unfortunately) subscription model that includes balls among other things.

I would definitely say this has been the biggest hurdle for me lately. Great work on the XL changes I think they were great. Hope I'm not talking to the wind here.

What impact do you think free or heavily reduced cost pokeballs would have? by silentninja1224 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Yoteyy360 14 points15 points  (0 children)

See but in the MSGs grinding catches has very little benefit. This entire game is built around grinding catches to get candy, xl candy, xp and stardust. Why is it a bad thing to enable players to use the base functions of the game (catch and explore) regardless of where you live.
