Niantic need to get on this shit fast.

Server issues, tracking, crashing.

People have been tolerant up until now because of their desire to enjoy the game and it being new.

That tolerance will not last, especially if someone sees an opportunity to cash in on the current issues and pull users away with a more functioning product.

Is there any reliable way to track in game at present? What does the green stuff mean in the bottom right corner?

Yup said the same exact thing yesterday. People can only take so much bull shit before they move on. Its becoming more frustrating than fun.

Two days in a row, I get off work and want to play and I can't because of server issues. Starting to feel like it's best to just give it up because thinking about it is just frustrating.

"A broken clock is right twice in a day".

Almost the same can be said to the thread title.

And more so for the players who don't browse forums or look at it in depth. Or those who have been drawn to it through word of mouth.

A lot of them will see that the app isn't working, and move on.

Sorry if I'm being a bit negative in here. I had some of my funnest moments in gaming when this first launched - walking with friends etc.

Now all we seem to have is broken servers, a broken tracking system (intentional or not, it's broken...) and we're getting to the point where it feels like a lot of the secrets (CP charts, levelling tips, real time maps) are being uncovered.

The worst part for me is the silence from the developers. They need to hire PR fast.

So, seven days of Pokemon Go pretty much over in Germany and I walked a bit more than 70km. Hope I can keep 10km/day up in the foreseeable future :D

Went out for 45 minutes and couldn't get the game to load at all after the no pokemon/stops/gyms issue, yet when I step in my goddamned house the loading bar starts moving.

I'm actually debating going back out for a bit.

Edit: actually, there's still no gyms, stops, or pokemon loading at all. False alarm I guess.

Yeah sorry guys, servers going down meant no scans.

Feel free to quote this with legit coordinates (some of the ones PM'd/posted have been wonky) and I'll do em as soon as the servers get stable again.

Edit: On google maps, just right click the general location you're interested in and click on "what's here?" to get the coordinates.

I would love it, if you could show me these coordinates: latitude: 55.6284149 and longitude: 12.084646199999952

Servers are completely screwed right now, so it makes sense that pokevision, which uses the servers in game, is down as well.

Makes sense lol the game was working fine for me so I thought it was strange. Well fine in the sense that it was only having the usual issues.

Question: i installed using APK because im on GalaxyS3 and notice my version is behind everyone else. Will i still get updates??

I'm done with this game until they fix the server issues, it's just too frustrating and annoying to be constantly running into game breaking bugs and have to restart the app. There's a lot of potential here but for now it's become a broken grind to nothing.

Right, if the devs would put out a simple "We are working on issues X,Y,Z and will have an update shortly" would go a LONG way at this point. They havnt said shit, but continue to launch in new countries, making the issue worse. Riding their new cash cow right into the ground if you ask me.

THIS GAME MAN!!!

I was in the office and saw on the site that this Ponyta shit was down the road from me.

I had less than 4 minutes to get there and its about 15 minutes walk but a short drive straight. I grabbed my mate and forced him to drive me to the location.

This is what happened :

Or prirotise their updates so we don't have an absurd situation where minor text issues are fixed before the actual game is functioning.

I got 6 incubators going at the same time. Probably gonna hatch four of them tomorrow, so I'm excited about that. And I'll level up to 11 as well.

I can happily tell you from experience that the people fixing the text have nothing to do with the other stuff we want fixed so it's not a matter of priorities, unless you want writers with limited to no programming experience trying to fix complex, game-critical networking code :p

When is the absolute ultimate time to use a Lucky Egg? Right before you evolve a bunch of Pokemon I guess? Even better if you were to do it inside of a Lure so you get double XP on each capture?

Looks like my egg that was about to hatch just got fucked in the ass by the servers. No reward and the egg is gone.

How is this even acceptable?

Sort your pokemon by "newest".
It's there.

edit: or it will hatch sometime soon (the incubator can be available before the animation shows up)

Standard practice is when you've got about 60 pokemon ready to evolve, you pop the egg then work through them as fast as you can. Pidgeys, Weedles and Caterpies are preferred because it only costs 12 candies to evolve them each (check http://www.pidgeycalc.com/ if you want exact requirements :3 ). If you have any 10km eggs just on the very edge of hatching, do those too as hatching one of those is worth twice as much as evolving a pokemon (all pokemon regardless of type or evolution level give 500xp when you evolve them). If an egg or evolution gives you a pokemon you haven't already caught there's a 500xp bonus.
