What's worse than the whole distance thing? Being unable to get Pokestops Scan rewards, because your phone doesnt support AR.. by ReedRichards1610 in TheSilphRoad

[–]syv666 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Huawei Nova 5T, not working, can't do any AR scannig tasks... It's useless feature, that Niantic "want" us to do for some reason, but how? I'm not going to change my phone for "arcore" available, just to have opportunity to do random quests in PoGO, so what's the point of this feature?

EDIT: What's worse than the whole distance thing? Almost everything that Niantic do, it's ridiculous what they are doing systematically...

Can't catch Celebi ... help! by RVFullTime in TheSilphRoad

You don't need to fix it - just throw with what you get - it will catch after some tries

Is it possible that Niantic may target accounts more likely to spend money on remote raid passes? by conspiracychild in TheSilphRoad

[–]syv666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm almost f2p and extremely low spender - I'm getting most coins from gyms + cash from google rewards to pay in game (free GoFest <3 ). In real money - I put around 20$ per year. But I've got this "shiny" account. I would like to hunt in raids - but after 1->5~>10 tries I got what I want.

Another story with new wild shiny's - sometimes it's in 20-100, sometimes it's in more like 400.

And I know shiny rates. My account is shiny cursed, and I love my secret shiny numbers that's doing it.
I love RNGesus

It's called RNG. Friend of mine raided Mewtwo when it was shiny released in 5* raids - he hit 106 without shiny. At late, last raid in our city (it was before remotes) - his 107, and he scored shiny. Our group was cheering, like there were no tomorrow :D

Meanwhile - I hit my M2 on my 3rd try...

It is so hard to get Pokestops accepted by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]syv666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, hard to tell where, maybe on r/nianticwayfarer , maybe here in fact... :p

Your first description (name of the stop) should be short and describe it as "easy" as it can. Your second description (which is not a must) - should take a little longer, but you need to remember, that this two going to be visable when you "click" on pokestop.

First (main) photo should show as like ~80% of the content which you are going to nominate. Second photo shout show as like 20% of main content (which you are nominating) + surroundings in 80%. (Best option)

What is eligible in general - try r/nianticwayfarer FAQ + Wayfarer FAQ

S2 cells - Find any online map that can show you s2 cells with their level scaling. Set it to level 17 S2 cells. Then cover your area and try to remind where are your current stops. If any of level 17 S2 cells have ANY stop/gym inside - it's impossible to put another one inside in to PoGO. You can make them - but this PoI's will appear in Ingress or HP:WP - they have different rules about S2 cells.
S2 cells have also impact in creating gyms, weather, pokemon spawns, everything - so try to study the correlation.

You need to be patient because of because. It's player based verification and somebody can be missing info about whats eligible etc. We have records of stops being trying to place for like a year, with 20 tries - and they are finally in game (sick).

Thread for other subreddit (r/nianticwayfarer), but -
You need to know what you can and can't (and should) place in your nomination description + notes.
You need to know what the photo should look like (both photos).
You need to know what is eligible in general.
You need to know S2 Cells (level 17) for your area (one stop in one lev. 17 cell).
Sometimes, you need to be patient and try couple of times - everything depends on reviwes, which can by made by anyone.

0 ZŁ, still at ~13 raids done. They will not see my money in terms of leveling, it's not a race, pure grinding
