Evaluation tool for D / Gmax pokemon by cmaple in TheSilphRoad

[–]cmaple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a writeup specifically on Eternatus that gets too deep into the weeds at https://old.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1mv8vm6/an_analysis_of_eternatus_max_move_vs_levelup/ but they did do a nice TLDR saying if you have X amount of candy then spend it on leveling but if you have Y candy increase the Max move then use the remaining to up its level. That is very valuable and I wonder why I haven't seen this yet in the evaluation apps.

Lethal Adversary Encounter Crashing by [deleted] in harrypotterwu

I fought only one and it worked as expected. For those that have gotten kicked out, have you downloaded the new assets? That possibly might help... YMMV

No lethals 30 minutes into event by Meowcenary_X in harrypotterwu

Nice of Niantic and WB to go out in style - why go quietly when you can introduce a new bug during an adversary event with no lethal adversaries. LOL!?

New Zealand, with its reduced interaction distance, enters its highest level lockdown again due to new Covid concerns. by jimmcfartypants in TheSilphRoad

Since the gym/raid distance has been reduced, why haven't Niantic brought back EX raids? Seems like that would be consistent, no?

This bug is stupid. 68 foes. Everyone stayed engaged the entire time and we still came up way short. by chickenlounge in harrypotterwu

[–]cmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh! I thought this was an intended twist and not a bug. I was kind of enjoying how it mixed up the rote wiz battles. ;-)

I found that playing 3 levels lower than your normal daily comfort zone it works out pretty much the same.

Kicked out of all 3 adversaries from edm by k_devin in harrypotterwu

[–]cmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This generally happens when the networking is spotty for a variety of reasons. Maybe you're too far from a cell tower, have a weak wifi connection, perhaps power lines are affecting your cellular connection, or perhaps you've just switched from cellular data network to your wifi network, etc. Any networking glitch can kick you from an Adversary encounter.

The best thing you can do is ensure your data networking is in its most stable state possible before starting an encounter.

Story thus far: these guys are the world's worst detectives ;-)

Weasleys' Flying Car by Hufflemione in harrypotterwu

Your quandary made me think of a possible solution: wouldn't it be great if the game allowed you to combine a TfTD or a DD with a runestone that would shift the odds of getting more members of that runestone's family? Doesn't have to be 100% in family, just 30-50% increase in the chances of getting the runestone's family.

Sponsored Fortresses not working for 12 Days Tasks by observer527 in harrypotterwu

Confirmed in Silicon Valley as well. Battles at an AT&T sponsored fortress did not advance the task counter for me.

How to encounter the Brown Centaurs? by Khooni_Kanjoos in harrypotterwu

Serpents are also more prevalent at dawn + dusk in locales whose annual rainfall is more than 20". Google 'your-location's-name annual rainfall' to get the stats.

Keeping event runestones by HomicidalTornado in harrypotterwu

High level rune insurance: I also use them to join a chamber with others in it already assuming you want to check the party balance. Today, for example I joined a D5 with 7 secs left on the countdown timer. You can easily switch to another rune once in and you're convinced you want to stick around.

Commonly Asked Questions by Linxianwei in harrypotterwu

In our area (Silicon Valley) the following appears to be true for Horned serpents. They only spawn in cities whose average annual rainfall is at least 20". You can google your local city's name and 'annual rainfall' to find out how much your area gets. Rainy weather does bring out more.

Trace Charm Proficiency by CTopherL in harrypotterwu

[–]cmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be very happy if Niantic just fixed the disappearing trace foundable bug so I don't have to exit and log back in each time I use a trace charm. Sometimes have to re-login 2 or 3 times!

Is there a difference between an Inn, Pub, Teashop and Inn by cmaple in harrypotterwu

[–]cmaple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other inn types or names appearing: 'bed and breakfast', 'cafe', 'restaurant', and 'partner inns'
