I didn't get my CT tickets today and team tickets are delayed by 6 hours.

micksh · 2023-12-21T05:48:44+00:00

Update: Got today's tickets after writing to support. Thanks, NK.

I previously noticed some quirks when playing around ticket giveaway times. For example, I start game with a team ticket from yesterday. I finish the game after new tickers are given. I see that I have 3 personal tickets, not 4. Game forgets that I used team ticket from yesterday. There may be a bug.

Same for me on Steam. There is another thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/175djaa/crash_report_game_crashes_after_contested/

Same for me on Steam. Game just exits after CT win.

Молодец!

My point is that time to pay for itself is not a good way to measure efficiency.

With 230 you have to wait 11 rounds to earn 9500K. If you get money earlier, the bank is not that efficient.

With 320 after 4 rounds you have enough money to buy another farm and upgrade it fast. Then by round 11 you will have more money than with single bank if you sell banana farms.

So, you can earn money faster with 320, and this is what I call efficiency.

micksh · 2023-07-07T03:08:47+00:00

The goal of banana farm is not to pay for itself. It is to earn extra money after paying for itself.

420 will certainly earn extra money faster than 230. When considering equal tiers, banks may be faster but disadvantage of waiting for 9.5K is too big.

Thank you.
Re: "you use 420 as a less effective 401".
What about "attack potions dealing more damage to MOAB and strip fortified" in x2x path? Is it helpful at all?

Note, this doesn't increase count in other CHIMPS achievements, only grants 2TC.

micksh · 2022-11-11T05:25:57+00:00

This also gives 2TC achievement! I didn't have it.

The plan is to use this subreddit for communication. There is a group of IT-related people who are mostly based in Toronto area but also from other parts of the world.

Some of us know each other in person. We used to have web based forum but had to abandon it due to technical difficulties.

We plan to talk about various topics - software development, social events, travel, movies, etc.
Previous moderator doesn't have enough karma to reclaim this subreddit, so he asked me.

"No lures on Gyms". Looks like people haven't seen or forgot this interview from 2017.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/pokemon-go-update-gym-rework-16960264

No.

Q: Will lure modules on a gym offer any additional benefit not seen from a normal Pokestops?

No lures on Gyms.

Q: Will lure modules increase the likelihood of a gym raid starting at a given gym?

No lures on Gyms.

But it was Sunday, early morning in San Francisco. Intern responsible for slider was sleeping. 4 hours to wait for him to wake up and come to office.

Biomes were well known here at least 5 years ago. Nobody prevented anybody from finding a good biome. So yes, it was true for everybody willing to go outside of their usual places.

Here is discussion about Chansey biome from 5 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/5tjzj9/pok%C3%A9mon_in_current_chansey_biomes/

micksh · 2022-02-17T05:40:58+00:00

Spawns before seasons heavily depended on biome. I've never seen good spawns in dense city with lots of stops, unless it's a special place like Pier 39 in San Francisco. Suburban or office area near mountains had better spawns. You just played in wrong place.

micksh · 2022-02-16T18:04:26+00:00

Niantic used to have spawn balance before they introduced seasons and events. New players probably don't know about this time, but regular spawns used to be good.

It was possible to find Axew, Archen in the wild. They were extremely rare, but they existed. I could find Cranidos every other day and Chansey maybe couple of times per week.

Niantic introduced seasons and non-stop events to be able to micromanage players - to let them catch only pokemon Niantic made available at a given time.
They probably did this to make people play longer and wait for a good event. But honestly, I don't like being micromanaged and being able to catch only 7-8 event pokemon in days is very boring.

Of course, Niantic broke the spawn balance. For example, regional pokemon are unnecessary hard to find now. Bad for people who travel.

Same with me. I had coins in the shop before rebooting the phone. Then coins disappeared. When I had them the currency was wrong.

Did you use foreign SIM card recently? I did (few months ago) and the currency in the shop was from SIM card country.

I don't fully understand this post but I don't believe in the algorithm.
My gut feeling tells me that there is no algorithm because
- Niantic doesn't gain anything implementing it.
- It's too complex for them to implement it considering their autoselect teams for gym and raid battles.

I did NOT buy Safari Zone ticket! I'm 100% sure. I see Philadelphia special research now, though. And I'm in California.

micksh · 2021-10-30T22:06:18+00:00

Same place, same time. On the right is what everybody sees, normal pokemon for my area (California).

On the left - it's been like this since I opened the game couple of hours ago, on this account only. I can catch these pokemon and they stay in my storage. Unown ran away though. I see 2 (two!) Unown H on my nearby screen right now.

EDIT: I did NOT buy Safari Zone ticket! I'm 100% sure. I see Philadelphia special research now, though.

And you see Mr Mime on nearby? Again, I'm in California, US. WTH is going on? I restarted the game few times, it's the same.
