thats frustrating, and kind of terrifying because ingress has and had nowhere near the server load this game is going to have and currently has.
the thing I find so frustrating is they clearly had no plan b. they planned for a certain number of people, the number trying to play is way higher than that, and its been like 2 days now and they're clearly just like welp....tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

Companies always anticipate their servers going down during launch. There's a certain portion of the player base they expect to flake from the game within a week or two regardless, so they don't invest in massive servers just to accommodate for a handful of post-launch days.In post 75, Thestatusquo wrote:thats frustrating, and kind of terrifying because ingress has and had nowhere near the server load this game is going to have and currently has.

No, but most games rent server space from companies like Amazon that rent out their servers when not using them. You anticipate a huge launch, you temporarily rent out some extra servers, players flake out after launch, you ramp down. The options are available, they chose not to bother.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

I'm moving to silicon valley in a week and a half. I'm hoping it has different pokemon than suburban Boston. It'd be cute if they put electric types there or something.In post 86, zoraster wrote:Oh man. I'm at my parent's house and there's nothing around. Compared to silicon valley, i'm in a pokedesert!-

maybe/probably nothing changes butIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Wait, so you get candies for transferring pokemon to the professor?One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

"man there's like three Lures downtown but I'm kinda tired after all the walking yesterday, should I walk around for a bit or just Uber home"
*wind kicks up, bending trees, lightning bolts, starts tsunami raining everywhere*
"but there's a Tangela around here somewhere ;_;"
[pedit] yeah, you get one candy per Poke you transfer. even evolved ones only give one candy. and obv 3 for catching. I have 3 Pidgeot and 4 Raticate from the sheer amount of pre-evos I've gotten. At least they're good basic gym fodder for already established gyms.
oh and I don't think it matters if you level up before evolving, because I think the white bar that denotes your CP still stays in that position after evolving (so basically just: the higher initial CP, the less Stardust you spend), but I'm not 100% sure how this works.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

I think this game as a concept is pretty cool, at least for the time being, but I don't know enough to make any predictions about its longevity.
Although it doesn't really change my lifestyle because I walk and run pretty frequently, I can see this making getting around on foot more enjoyable for a lot of people. Not only that, but I've been to parks near my area and had pretty great conversations and exchanges with a few different strangers about the game.
I'm having lots of fun.did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!
