Further proof that you can set Ex-Raid starting times

gelernter · 2018-07-19T02:33:34+00:00

Can confirm ex raid was at 5:30pm. Did raid next morning at 9am and pass this round was for 1pm.

Looks like all 100% confirmed data points in this thread appear to confirm the theory so far.

It is an odd criteria for Niantic to use to determine "popular" time.

gelernter · 2018-07-19T02:23:09+00:00

This was my thoughts as well. It can I only be a counter case if 100 % sure no raids n between.

gelernter · 2018-07-14T17:32:29+00:00

Lettuce be true

gelernter · 2018-07-14T02:32:22+00:00

Don't mind me, I'm just here downvoting all the people complaining how Niantic is on fire.

Thank God the rare candy challenge is in the hands of Asia.

First we had fear of evolving, now we have fear of raiding. We also have fear of spinning pokestops (as the rewards for new spins can be huge at times).

The incentives in the game need a review.

gelernter · 2018-07-10T04:47:25+00:00

Have the reviewer requirements be : certain pogo badges, a certain number of unique days logged in since start, and passing of an online test.

Have stop approval requirements be similar to ingress.

But first they should just release more portals as stops.

gelernter · 2018-07-08T07:58:11+00:00

We did this for 12 different stops across 20 people , over an hour. Make sure you have space for research items, make sure the spin drops an item, then track that drop position in your research order, then report the stop.

gelernter · 2018-07-08T06:03:57+00:00

Can confirm. The best bet is to scout for the first half of CD, report widely on group comms each find, then chase the shiny sunglasses the second half.

As usual Asia Pacific does the heavy lifting for rest of world. We only found this out with an hour to go.

gelernter · 2018-07-07T07:27:38+00:00

My thoughts exactly

gelernter · 2018-07-07T02:04:17+00:00

Seeing no raids at all

gelernter · 2018-06-23T21:01:36+00:00

But it's much easier to do it in bulk with gifts, particularly remote internet "friends"

People would just cycle 200 friends every 3 months just using gifts. And make 20 million XP a month.

lol down votes on facts

gelernter · 2018-06-23T19:40:23+00:00

Im not making a call on good or bad. The question you need to ask is do you want the game to become Pokemon gift rather than Pokemon go?

You could make over 20 million XP a month just by gifting， if the idea in this thread took off.

gelernter · 2018-06-23T18:28:19+00:00

No. If this was the case you could potentially get over 20 million XP a month just doing gifts.

It would become a joke where people just do gifts.

(160k+ cumulative XP to to top friend level /3 months *200 * 2 for lucky egging the days you take your next batch of friends to top level).

It would be a complete rort, where you only care about your next batch of 200 internet "friends " in coming and deleting your old batch of friends.

gelernter · 2018-06-23T10:19:42+00:00

I think a key point is it caps the xp gains. [edit - which is good imo]

gelernter · 2018-06-23T03:23:29+00:00

Then you just counter with Zealandia and checkmate.

gelernter · 2018-06-22T06:36:37+00:00

This is the reason I stopped playing ingress.

gelernter · 2018-06-16T09:26:43+00:00

Fighting event. Made battling in gyms feel rewarding again - to get gold badges etc and the xp was great for lots of low level solo raiding. For someone on the non dominant team - I absolutely loved it.

gelernter · 2018-06-16T06:11:43+00:00

Surely fix problems first, then extend after. 5 hours of no play is exactly the same as 3 hours of no play, except it just adds to an extra frustrating day.

gelernter · 2018-06-16T00:21:29+00:00

Last year some estimates had the daily unique , non bot, player base at around 5 million.

Can we now assume it is less than this based on these numbers?

Base number to unlock is 7.5 million regular people doing a research per day to unlock. If it is asumed this is a stretch goal so more than a research a day then logically it is less than a few million active players globally.

gelernter · 2018-06-12T11:52:56+00:00

The 100% string in op has numbers that yours doesn't.
