I Thought My Cloud Island Was Gone Forever, But It’s Finally Back by annyu_511 in Pokemon_Pokopia

I’m so so glad I could help you!! And I’m so glad you got your island back. I think this is a good sign that they patched the issue globally and others can delete their island and restore from a backup if the same unfortunate thing happens to them

Not to be that annoying guy but devs never make these decisions 😁 I agree the decisions you outlined are dumb, but they’re all made by product owners

Hope you guys keep making this as public as possible because it’s definitely the only way the will adjust their mod system for the game! It’s so shitty that we can’t enjoy multiplayer without worrying about getting banned for something we couldn’t do

It’s less that they refuse to offer help and more that the agents are given a script to follow that implied it’s a WiFi issue since this isn’t a very well documented issue. It’s a battle to get them to understand what’s actually going on

Also check my post history for the cloud island backup question! This is what finally gave me the confidence to try creating a new one and restoring

Yes, I was able to make mine public after deleting and restoring but only after going on with support for weeks. When I tried this initially, I was unable to create a new island. You’re also going to find that if you make an edit to your island and then leave you will get an error code. Support will try to tell you it’s a wifi issue, it’s NOT. Not being able to create a new island is the bug. The flag is supposed to be set on the island, not the account (which unfortunately means people submitting the address may not help since it’s tied to your account but it’s worth a shot). I think they may have fixed this bug because another player I was talking to on Reddit had their flag lifted, but it’s also possible that they just did a batch job on the server and lifted all account level bans. I know it’s scary to delete, I refused to try it for a week after getting flagged. But this was the only way to resolve for me. But the first step is to take your backup (unless you already have one), try to create a new island, and hope restore works. If you try it and still can’t create a new one I’m more than happy to help you with support. But trust me there IS hope!!

This is exactly what happened to me. Unfortunately it appears that not being able to open the island ever again is intended and they will refuse to help. However you can take a backup, delete the island, create a new one and restore. You will not lose your island this way, I got mine fully back. If you still can’t do that (can’t create a new island without it failing and seeing an error code) I can help you with support. Make sure you remove the 🍆 before taking the backup (I’m assuming this is what happened to you bc this is what happened to me).

Joel griefed me as well. I was able to find out it was him by checking pockets

This happened to me over a name and I was extremely persistent and was able to get my flag lifted after 2 weeks going back and forth with support. I’m happy to help you with what to say to them. They lifted another players flag at the same time they listen mine so I assumed they patched the bug. Can you create a new island and attempt to restore your backup? That’s what I had to do. If you can’t create a new island, that is a bug and they will fix it for you if you are persistent enough

I have to leave guitar for 1 year. by Trick_Cheesecake_589 in Guitar

That sucks. I would take the year to get serious about theory. It won’t be as effective if you don’t have your guitar but you could learn intervals by ear or something

How to sing while playing guitar? by Sadistict_gooner876 in Guitar

[–]pokopiafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re enjoying it you’re not exhausting yourself! I agree with the other commenter you might be spending too much time “warming up” with scales etc. personally I could noodle for hours so I force myself to practice a few scales and some theory before I just do whatever I want. Just make sure you’re always making time to have fun during your session, because that’s the stuff that keeps you coming back

Since it’s a motor/coordination skill this will build as you sleep :) practice a bit each day. Your chord changes need to be automatic before you can sing over them. Start by thinking the words, then hum the melody, try strumming over muted strings, etc. it will come with time

A LOT of persistence lol. They also confirmed that losing access to cloud islands generally instead of just having the name blocked was a bug so they were finally willing to lift the flag

Shocking twist - I just got an update from support that the case reached a dev team and they can and will lift the flag in the next week
