Alright folks. I think by now the sub figured out that this update and the loss of PV is a disaster isn't the best ever, but please refrain from posting more Niantic-bashing posts.

They're clogging /new and preventing other legitimate questions and discussions from getting attention they deserve.

RAGE IN HERE INSTEAD

DO REMEMBER THAT THIS UPDATE ALSO BRINGS SOME CHANGES. I WOULD SUGGEST FOR YOU TO LOOK THEM UP AS WELL INSTEAD OF REPOSTING RANTS IN THE FRONT PAGE AND CREATING UNNECESSARY SALT.

EDIT: MORE FUCKING MINOR TEXT FIXES

ADDITIONAL NOTE: AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, NIANTIC HAS EXACTLY ZERO CONTACT WITH /R/POKEMONGO. I WOULD SAY THAT RANTING HERE IS POINTLESS.

Seriously, I'm trying to figure out why all the rage, is it all over the three steps being removed?

[–]Peaceablecolt 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

As much as I want to be super angry, Im more sad than anything. Going to my local park that first week and seeing hundreds of people sharing an urge to be the very best was phenomenal. It was a major shift in my towns culture for a little while there. But now I'm lucky if I can see one person idly playing the game at a good lure spot. Niantic has killed most of the interest for this game and that makes me sad, because I know its never gonna be like that first week again. They've breached societies trust and they aren't going to be able to get that back, not like they had it before.

THE GAME IT'S FUCKING CRASHING AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED IN MY COUNTRY FUCK THIS SHIT

[–]3rdfoundation 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Pokemon GO has been a roller coaster ride. It came out when I was on vacation in Virginia Beach. EVERYONE was playing it on the boardwalk during the first few days. I loved hunting for new Pokemon via 1-3 step method. Thinking back over the last few weeks, this was by far my favorite thing to do.

The step tracking soon became broken and we went onto NYC.

Now I am level 25 and have 117 Pokemon (NYC is broken). Even if Niantic fixes the steps, I have little left to hunt for.

Several observations:

  1. Reinstate step tracking. I don't care what the performance hit is. You are swimming in money. Fix it.

  2. Evenly distribute Pokestops everywhere. Stop making them landmarks with photos. NYC and Virginia Beach were like candy land. Now that I am home I am feeling the rural woes and are hording my Pokeballs.

  3. Stop giving special spawning treatment to Pokestops. When you are rural you have nothing. You can walk for 10 minutes with nothing. Then a 328 Pidgey shows up. I don't want to waste 5 pokeballs on that but it is the only thing I've seen in 10 minutes. When you are in a Metro area you have access to way too much, especially when they have lures. If you are rural and use incense you will burn through your pokeballs. Pokestops need to be distributed for everyone.

  4. Add more Pokemon when you fix tracking and Pokestops. Not just Legendaries. I admit, I am a Pokemon noob, but existing high level players must be in the same boat as me: the only Pokemon left are very rare.

I can tell they have made it harder to catch Pokemon with the latest patch. They fight you a lot more and run away more. Niantic: It is too late to make existing Pokemon more difficult to catch. You are just punishing new players.

[–]BIG_YETI_FOR_YOU 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was going to pots to ask if it got more difficult to catch pokemon or not, i've been using berries and great balls on <200 rattatas and they break out over 3/4 of the time (level 17)

[–]dokebibeats -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm mad that I can't get the update because my tablet is not that great. Oh, and that means I can't play the game when the updates for the Gen 2 Pokemon come out. Headdesks

[–]BeWithMe 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Are they even working on fixing the tracker, or does the removal of the 3-steps relic indicate they have no plans on restoring it?

[–]bippitybopped 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fuck Niantic, they have access to the biggest IP in gaming and fucked up so bad. They released an unfinished game, having basic features advertised in the commercial that are still not in the game a month after release. They also remove fundamental game features and one of the only fun things in the god damned game. They also give 0 contact as to why they are making the changes they are making and if they will be put back in or not, no compensation for wasted items and purchases due to server issues. They fucked up big time

Honestly, I am just sad. I only recent rediscover my nostalgic for pokemon and this happens... anyway, anybody got any recommendation for emulators on mac? If I can't play pokemon go, atleast I can go back playing Fire Red or Ruby.

May I remind you that you can also download emulators on your smartphone, I used to play pokemon in class on my phone all the time.

Earlier today I was trying to catch a Pidgey and the ball was within the white circle but kept going over its head. I wasted like 5-6 balls. Anyone else have this issue?

Also couldn't find the Snorlax in my nearby qq

[–]iangncl 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

To help this thread out and satisfy both sides:

(Just voicing my opinion, any and all replies will not be downvoted - an opinion is an opinion and we should all be able to express them.)

What Niantic has done wrong and why they deserve some backlash:

  • Lack of communication with the community.
  • Release of the game without a global community manager.
  • Too short of a testing period to iron out basic kinks.
  • Not properly set up a refund mechanism on both Play Store and App Store - this is in violation of both T&C for both platforms, and could yield judicial punishment.

What Niantic at least deserves from the community:

  • Patience
  • Understanding that the company, in terms of AAA gaming producers, is an underdog. Finding the proper man power to satisfy all sides of the spectrum will be intense.

Lastly, Understand This:

  • If someone is able to put in a patch notes, but not a tweet on Twitter acknowledging things the community is saying, something is wrong.
  • If someone is able to remove footsteps because of possible new player confusion with the three step glitch, but not fix it in a timely basis on a game revenue of seven figures, something is wrong.
  • If someone is able to change art styles, but not hardcore attention to the game-breaking issues - something is wrong.

All in all, I am sure it will get better. Nintendo/The Pokémon Company will not let this dwindle down as a failure, strictly due to the incompetence of Niantic.

[–]SweaNoidVALOR 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well said!! They may even be fixing things now and just trying to improve the interface bit by bit, but the complete lack of communication on any player-raised issues or their future steps for the game while they make all these controversial choices just looks terrible.

Not having a functioning support email or refund mechanism is just the icing on the cake...

[–]RahvinDragand 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

So they've made it harder to find Pokemon, harder to catch Pokemon, evolving them was always a joke (100 candies to get a final evolution? I can't even find 1 Charmander.), and hatching an egg takes 2-3 times the distance it claims and always gives you the same Pokemon every time. They've essentially made it impossible to make any progress without random chance/luck. I'm at a loss at this point.

[–]Philthy_Kessel 13ポイント14ポイント  (8子コメント)

Anyone notice a difference in the catch rate? I hardly get 1 pokeball captures and even the most basic Weedle jumps out and runs more often it feels like. I hope it's just placebo effect, because today I've been having terrible luck.

[–]PedroIsWatching 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think they're attempting to slow down players. I doubt they were expecting anyone to hit levels 25 and up so soon, so they raised the flee/break rates to stop people from farming evolutions and make it harder to catch rare pokemon.

It's going to backfire and people are just going to ragequit.

[–]twinnedcalcite -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nope, noticed a bunch of higher level pokemon appearing which was nice.

Still can do the 1 pokeball catch.

[–]Garygate 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Funny that you say this! My dad, bless his heart, calls zubat zumbat, clefairy clarify, caterpie caterPIE, and many others. He lazily tosses out a pokeball with out holding it to get the circle smaller and almost every time catches it first try. However, after this update he's been complaining about alot of weak pokeys breaking free, and the case is same for me. I think they may have changed it.

[–]voidsoul22 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You know, I thought catching was tougher too all of a sudden(even with solid green circles), and I also just flick immediately without shrinking the circle. Maybe they did fix it so it plays like it's uspposed to.

[–]Julio46 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Both me and my mom have noticed pokemon being kinda harder to catch too. We may just be imagining it tho

[–]GosekiWhere dwell the brave at heart. 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

good for you on playing with your mom. Also no, you guys aren't imagining it. The pokemon attack and dodge a lot more and run away easier.

[–]Natebw 5ポイント6ポイント  (9子コメント)

Is there a chance that the step indicator was a major server hog and that faced with not step vs servers down, they got rid of steps?

[–]aswog -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think that the Pokémon may have been spawning where players shouldn't be going. So to help players not make dumbass decisions after figuring out that maybe a charizard is in a trespassing area or a very dangerous area, they are deciding to leave it more vague of where the Pokémon are. That way a player can't specifically narrow down a spot and be tempted to go where they shouldn't.

I'm kinda rambling but I hope that makes sense

[–]kyuronite 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nah, that doesn't, it would make more sense to implement a red zone area where pokemon cannot spawn at and then have the three step rule still being available. Why make it so that a person has to basically run in every possible direction and then DECREASE the search area just to try to find a pokemon while not telling a person where they can and can't go. Oh and they have to do this within a certain timer which they won't know till it despawns.

[–]princesszetsubo -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure that was what the three step "bug" was, an optimization to reduce server lag (not that we'll ever know, because Niantic is uninterested in communicating with their player base).

[–]adkhiker137 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think that's exactly what happened. They also stripped out the "this is where I caught it" map, which may have burdened servers as well. I'd rather have a functioning game with fewer features (temporarily) than one I can never play because the servers are constantly overloaded.

[–]Natebw -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good call on the map. I never saw the map load anyway.

[–]hayhut -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Funnily enough, after this update I feel as if the servers are slower, as the game seems less snappy pre dday update

[–]urzaz 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

So, my pet theory--and feel free to contradict me if you have info--is that the Pokemon tracker/step indicator was straining their servers in some way. I joined a bit later so I only saw a little bit of the steps working, but it seems like steps breaking coincided with servers being more reliable.

I always assumed that steps would be back, but not until they could get much more robust server infrastructure up (read: a good while). So, since 3 steps was confusing AND a constant reminder of something that's disabled currently, they got rid of the indicator.

I still think steps will be back and everyone's freaking out over nothing, (I'm playing the game and it's fine) but it's just hard to know with no response from Niantic. That is where they're failing now, they need a community manager and they know it.

[–]Natebw -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep. With all the money they are spending on infrastructure, they could pay someone to communicate with the players!

[–]urzaz -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't worry, they're spending money on both. Someone linked their hiring page on here recently. CM is definitely on their. You can't just snap your fingers and hire the right person instantly, though.

[–]theslyder 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Should we consider doing what /r/arrow did when their thing got super shitty? They communally decided to start watching daredevil instead and turned it into a daredevil discussion subreddit.

Maybe we should change this to a digimon sub or something as a means of statement and protest.

The PR seems to be on baby vacation. I have no idea why a regular developer can't write a tweet tho. And why she has time to write on her baby blog, but not a single word about pmgo.

She's on maternity leave. But Niantic had 9 month to prepare and find some one to cover her duties, especially with a big impending product launch.

Anyone else only getting 2km eggs? Feels like they deffs tweaked egg drops too, havn't received a five today in around 10 egg drops.

Edit: not "only" 2km eggs. I mean whereas before my bulk was 5kms with 2 and 10 being more rare, I've hit nothing but 2's today which seems a little odd.

[–]BewilderedDash 13ポイント14ポイント  (11子コメント)

The increased rate at which pokemon break free and flee is fucking ridiculous and it seems like they are doing it for that fat cash. I bought 200 pokeballs last week but that's all I'm ever going to spend now that it's clear they changed the difficulty.

Zubats in particular seem to eat through pokeballs.

[–]funkdoc2013 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same here. Pokemon I was catching with one pokeball are now breaking free and running. Lost a Ninetails after 15+ Ultras and berries. Didn't even get close to catching either, always broke out almost immediately. Considering how rare ultras are, that is a huge blow to take.

Not sure of this either, but they seem to fight and thwart your pokeball more often now too.

[–]emgyres 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

It certainly seems to be happening more often since the update was pushed to my phone yesterday afternoon. I've had a handful of frustrating difficult catches since day 1 but definitely more since yesterday afternoon. A CP 800+ Weepinbell that took 5 ultras, 7 greats and countless pokeballs before eventually just fucking off on me was frustrating, but CP 10 weedles escaping, now that's just insulting at level 22.

[–]maozedung 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I had a ~630cp Fearow break out of like 8-10 great balls and a few regulars before I gave up.

[–]BewilderedDash -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Had a cp88 squirtle bail after breaking out of 10 greatballs. So frustrating.

[–]R0XX0RZEvilZoe 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't believe how many are running away today. It's getting highly annoying.

Them running away should be the exception, not the rule, and they ought to do it well before someone has invested a bunch of berries and super pokeballs.

What I can't believe is that they didn't expect it to be super popular. It is Pokémon and is loved by millions of people.

[–]urzaz -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who are the people who "love Pokemon"? The people who've played the recent games? The people who played the first games? The people who liked it as kids but haven't thought of it since?

Of those, who would you expect to buy the game, a game that's not a "real" pokemon game and not made by Nintendo, but a weird app developer offshoot of Google?

The right answer turned out to be, "All of the above, plus a ton of people who weren't into Pokemon in the first place", which is not what anyone would have guessed. It's fine to be optimistic, but you can't always predict cultural phenomenons.

RAGE TIME. Screw this bump in catching difficulty.

I JUST WASTED ALMOST 40 GREAT BALLS on a CP 891 Pinsir. It was INFURIATING. I threw 12 curveballs in a row and every single one missed. Before this update I was nailing curveball throws 9/10 times. I couldn't get a single curveball to hit this Pokemon. On top of that, every time I would attempt a normal throw, the pokemon would jump or attack at the exact instant I threw the ball. Several of my throws somehow came up short, ending up with the ball just rolling up and tapping the Pokemon's foot. Then I actually had one throw where the ball LITERALLY hit the Pokemon and did nothing. I finally caught it, but it broke out of like 8 balls.

On top of that, I had a Dragonite appear on my nearby list. I've never even SEEN a Dratini. I tracked it for 10 minutes before it disappeared. Never could find it even though it was at the top of the "nearby Pokemon" list several times. >:(

This stuff has been happening to me before this update.

Really? I wasn't having any real issues aside from an occasional random curveball when I just threw the ball regularly. Now I'm missing any curveball I try to throw with the greatball, some Pokemon seem to randomly be positioned further away on the capture screen than the others which makes my throws randomly come up short, and I'm having like CP 30 Pidgeys run away from me after one Pokeball throw. :(

Seconded. Catching has always seemed like voodoo bs.

Bunch of fucking assholes. Not for ruining a game I enjoy. But for ruining one of the most popular cash cows with one of the most recognizable names (pokemon) in the world. Fucking morons.

Ditching PV is really a shame - it made the game a lot more enjoyable.

I'd still play as much as I did the past weeks, and probably continue to support the devs, if Niantic weren't so bad about communicating their issues. If they'd given a plausible reason for shutting down PV & friends, they could have kept so much good will.

I'll probably continue to play it casually on occasion, but I really liked it as an excuse to get out and actually walk and discover bits of the city I wouldn't otherwise have seen.

Oh well.

pokesear.ch just popped up. They just launched, but they're offline tonight to upgrade their servers.

Why just leave them bad reviews...we need to go on strike and delete the game until they fix their wrong doings

What exactly happened? Why is everyone so mad at Niantic? I read the topic linked in the OP but none of the posts really had a clear cut reason. Could anyone take out time to explain what went on? I haven't played in like a week and a half so I'm pretty lost lol
