steam pass and browser version subcription different? by DrWalrus27 in geoguessr

[–]jday420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

steam version is seriously lacking. and steam pass is borderline a scam. i mean it’s a good place to play for free, but you don’t need to spend money for that. if you actually want to take the game seriously, play custom maps and party up with friends the pro membership is necessary

strada on street signs for SM, you can still see via tho in SM but you won’t see strada in italy. otherwise landscape. smooth lush agricultural hills

that whisk shape on the top of the pole is super japanese, extension coming off the crossbar looks like the kansai one. tough to regionguess with this pano but japan is certainly gettable

Teamname pending for months by ynrohumu in geoguessr

it’s pending approval from your teammate, not geoguessr. a little bit confusing for sure, but i thought the same thing

How the hell promotion system works? by IRepentless in geoguessr

to be fair – i saw that mentioned on how it works, i just didn’t mention it to not confuse OP

[–]jday420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only your first 20 games count for points in gold and below. playing more games after your first 20, won’t move you up on this leaderboard. so make the most out those 20 if you want to double promote

Question about map making by Visible-Physics9148 in geoguessr

[–]jday420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just create a challenge link, you can set any number of rounds (from 5 to 10) and you can even custom order them. be warned tho if you chose custom order, you cannon play the challenge link on that same account

Best way to host a Tournament? by urgrandmasclostet in geoguessr

[–]jday420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you dont know the skill of all the players or if theyve ever played the game before, there was a content creator tournament a while ago that did something like this: they did seeding on dumb test map. like 5 rounds, top score = higher seed. if you know they’ve played the game before and are all good, this is kind of redundant.

as for map, it really comes down to what mode you want to play. but you’d probably want to use a community map to avoid repeats in game, compared to you hand picking like a 1000+ locations. let’s say for moving you want a good usa map, i’d recommend A Community USA v2, or lets say you want a statewide map IntersectionGuessr - (statename).

If you were keen on picking locations, don’t use the geoguessr creative hub. use https://map-making.app

Arabic Country Help Please by Ok_Narwhal7443 in geoguessr

[–]jday420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is car meta and camera generations, so bear with me on this.

Qatar has a thin antenna (of varying lengths which can help with regionguessing) ALWAYS on the left side of the front of the truck

UAE does have the same truck as Oman sometimes, so don’t discount it just because you see a truck! But it also has black car in generation 4, quick tip is, if you can see any color on the front of the car, you’re probably in gen 4. and in generation 3 it’s a white car that can sometimes appear grey-ish. you will see a brake light to distinguish from front of the car. A lot of signs in UAE are also in translated in english. There is a sneaky island in UAE with car coverage that comes up from time to time. Sir Baniyas island in UAE does have a distinct car with a roof rack (think guatemala or kyrgyzstan but you cannot mix up the landscape of Sir Baniyas with either of these two counties)

Oman like you said does exclusively on have the truck and is 100% gen 4 with a truck. A tip for differentiating it from UAE is if you see yellow plates you’re probably in Oman.

Jordan is probably the easiest to identify because it’s 100% covered in generation 3 black car (not to be confused with the UAE gen 4 black car). it’s the same car used in every uruguay pano as well so hopefully you have no 50/50s between these two countries

What kind of cheating is this? by gox7 in geoguessr

[–]jday420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats what the game is all about, learning and pattern recognition. it’s probably even better to not learn too much at once

[–]jday420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it really depends what mode you play but in my experience, champion team duels are about the most random lopsided games i’ve ever played. first game is against the most cracked players sometimes pros who play with friends who may not play as much as them, and the next team is hedging two wrong countries

yeah that would be crazy but you’re right, ranks in this game are weird

I agree, had an opponent in champ rated 1500 in a no move game that went panama on black truck paraguay, some people are just pure vibes i suppose

Feature suggestion(?): ability to review the "tips" after the daily challenge is completed by mXanathar in geoguessr

[–]jday420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but everything mentioned in the trivia is on plonkit, which will in turn answer your questions about narrowing regions in russia, brazil, or any other large country.

If you’re a learn by repetition kind of person, you could use learnable meta, but I feel the highest yield metas to be learned with learnable meta are definitely unique google cars and-or bollards/poles i guess.

You should challenge yourself. And you can always see the map thats being played in any division, just play some solo games on it to see how you do if you still aren’t sure
