DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:I just got an aerodactyl from "win 5 raids" research. Well, the good news is that currently, “win 5 raids” will always yield an Aerodactyl. The bad news is that some research tasks are harder to find than others, and that one seems to be hard to find. Just keep spinning I guess! https://thesilphroad.com/research-tasks is the Silph Road list of tasks, and they keep it updated whenever the tasks change. It’s a good website to have bookmarked.

If you don't have a full team of Tyranitars for raiding, evil Larvitars aren't a bad way to get there, but they don't help much with the candy situation. Or I guess Dratinis if you want TEAM DRAGONITE. How's Snorlax with Return, usual caveats about Normal-type damage aside?

Level 40, but stop submissions are unavailable at the moment (at least in Germany). I think it was something about a bug.

It took on average 1-2 months to get a stop approved. Maybe the Ingress players will finally be able to clear the backlog while new submissions are unavailable!

For me, this change was difficult to call either way. There are some places where there used to be big clusters where there now are not as many spawns. But there are also places that have spawns now that didn't before. A land of contrasts, but overall I'd say a nerf. Also lol pay-to-play event if that's really what's going on

If you're in Germany (and maybe other countries?) you can now sign up for their Wayfarer site at https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/ You'll have to take a 10-question test first but after that you can review stop submissions for approval. Kind of fun! I assume there's still some oversight on the program

BGrifter posted:However, none of this matters in the slightest and Gengar is the best Pokemon in the game. I have to say, this might be the most compelling argument I’ve ever seen in this thread. Oh, the other neat thing about signing up for Wayfarer is that it lets you see the status of your own nominations.

Wayfarer is pretty fun! At least, it's as fun as crowdsourced geointel for a company associated with Keyhole and Google Maps can be. Also, apparently the reward for being good at Wayfarer (presumably having a lot of reviews that other people sign off on) is that you get to occasionally fast-track your own nominations. So, that's fun too.

Edward IV posted:For what it's worth, Sneasels actually make a pretty good target with the circle lock trick. Stack a bunch in your research reward queue and then patiently wait for them to attack. The maximum threshold for excellent throws isn't ridiculously small as you would expect for Sneasel's size. Same, up to and including 96%. Sneasels are a great target for excellents and the “catch 5 Gastly or Shuppet” quest is pretty common.

Lol I just had a stop rejected because I took a picture of a mural of a bee and the reviewer thought that I had taken a picture of a live bee. I enjoy adding stops to the game but Wayfarer is exactly like being a low-level employee at the world’s dumbest data entry company. Hey, wait...

Wheany posted:Did some wayfarer today. Marked a couple of stops as duplicates, approved the rest (or voted for their approval, whatever). Anyway, I saw one problem with the approval process and it's relying on google maps and streetview for checking the placement of the stops. There are a lot of things that are nowhere near a street and that don't really show up on aerial photos either. And the (optional) classification hierarchy feels arbitrary and clunky. The classification hierarchy is super-clunky, but you can always just type in the sort of thing you think it is from the main screen (hotel, for example) and it'll automatically navigate the 400 nested menus for you. I agree that google maps and streetview are inadequate for stop placement (and Streetview mostly isn't even a thing in Germany) and I see it a lot with signs, monuments and other weird stuff you can find in the woods, but I don't know how else you'd do it.

Welcome to Wayfarer, America! Don't screw it up for the rest of us! Also it still takes weeks for things to show up in game, so don't get too antsy. This is Niantic we're talking about.

mastershakeman posted:What can I expect to add through wayfarer? Can I upgrade the stop at work to a gym? Make a sign outside my house a stop? Wayfarer doesn't determine stop vs. gym - at least, there's no option to do so on our level. Maybe if you put it in additional remarks, someone up the approval chain can make that determination? I don't think so though, pretty sure it's automatically determined by density/proximity. As for the sign outside your house... maybe? Signs can be stops, although it specifically rules out "standard" signs (stop signs, one way signs, etc.). You can certainly submit it as a stop and see what happens! Wayfarer isn't where you'd submit it though - you would use Pokemon Go to submit the stop and then others would use Wayfarer to review it (although you can use Wayfarer to view your nominations). I knew americans were going to ruin it

Ches Neckbeard posted:Dumb question but is there some trick to getting melmetal? All I can think is walk forever and/or stock up on rare candy If someone you know has Pokemon Let's Go for the Switch, then you can (through a process which honestly is kind of an asspain) get an item which gives you about 20ish meltans over the course of 30 minutes, and can be recharged once every 3 (?) days. edit: more of a minor inconvenience than an asspain really, but you do have to pair up your phone with their Switch

Ches Neckbeard posted:Man there's a private cemetery with 3 gyms and some stops forever chasing people off near me. I'm not sure private property matters that much Private property is about the only thing that Niantic does care about since it got them sued. But a lot of people don't know that they can contact Niantic to get stuff removed, and I don't think anyone's eager to tell them. A neighborhood common area is totally fine though, I see a ton of new stops popping up because people find a mural or a statue or a couple pieces of playground equipment in the vicinity of apartment complexes.

Old Swerdlow posted:I’m annoyed that in Wayfarer if you tag a submission as a duplicate it just skips it instead of letting you decide which one is better. It’s unclear to me how exactly this works, but tagging something as a duplicate will create a review task where others get to choose which location/picture/title more accurately describes the thing. But yeah, you don’t get any input unless you also happen to see that other review task. The other problem is that you can’t edit the description. I reviewed a really neat statue the other day and was curious enough to look it up online, at which point I wanted to improve on the lovely description the dude submitted. But I couldn’t

Entropist posted:I've seen some German cities that were reduced to rubble and rebuilt post-war, where almost all the gyms and stops were those power boxes with street art on it, as there was nothing historical or interesting around. Even in rebuilt German towns there's very often foundation stones, carvings and other markers of the original building's age. One building in particular is now a crappy kid's clothing store, but there's a little sculpture above the door of a pretzel, two lions, and the year 1951. It's a stop now

They’d put a gym there in order to charge people with loitering too But still probably don’t trespass for a kid’s cartoon game, at least until Niantic manages to figure out how to reward urbex. Do people still urbex?

If you don’t have a switch or if you don’t want to get let’s go Pikachu/eevee then try asking at your local discord, or even just on community day. In our local group we tried to make sure that everyone who wanted a meltan box got one. It doesn’t cost anything for the person with the switch.

Adding in rare Gmax variants of existing mons (Snorlax, Machamp et al) seems like a logical extension of the raid system. It would definitely spark interest in raiding again! I don’t think my area formed a single group the whole time Verizon was in rotation. It’s just that I don’t know how you’d use Gmax in Pogo.

Th is is going to sound stupid and insane but I think there should be fewer 5* raids. I think there’d be a bit more collaboration and interest if they were a bit more rare, especially with those dumb deer. They were popping so often that I just sort of started ignoring them and judging by the telegram so did everyone else.
