    Exp Sharer

    No brain no pain, no pain, no gain. No. Not planned atm. We are working on the things that have greater priority. :confused:
  2. I am working on new area. You will be updated shortly. Also, the EV areas will be optional. I see them as a place for people who want to train EVs fast with little effort given. But sure we can make that for them. I also want people to spend certain items there such as elixir. Having nurse joy would kill the point of said area and make sinkhole useless.
  3. I was working on something recently. Took little more time because I had to map the area. Anyway, talk with an officer NPC located in south east part of Viridian forest.
  4. Currently only Mew is obtainable. Not telling how however.
  5. I was never asked for such permission. However said permissions are visible under app info: https://imgur.com/kbxW1kT.png HTC One M9 - 5.02 -Rooted. Installation via Suite. Samsung S6 Edge - 5.0 -Unrooted. Direct .apk installation. Nexus - 5.0 -Unrooted. Direct .apk installation. -That being said; the app itself is to be installed through non-safe sources give that it is not on the app store. As for phone calls and other, the app needs to know if you phone will ring in order to pause and to save the state. Also, application needs to let OS to have sound priority if your phone rings and so on and to do so permission is obviously needed. We also need to save user settings and other preferences where it is not possible to save them by you having an username. Same way PRO creates registry values in windows. We do not take user sensitive information however because there is no need to. The app itself is installed if you decide to trust to unknown sources. Soon as the app do not require root access to your device you will be alright.

    genell gone

    I introduced Genell with PRO mapping team as well as other staff. Genell originally became inactive after severe mental trauma which I wont go into details about. She was showing the interest to come back and did work for us in the process. However, she had to move to another place to live and had random issues to deal with in the meantime. For a person with a condition those are hard to handle and I totally understand her given that we are on the spectrum. Later on, I've been cleaning the staff ranks based on the inactivity, days without noticing and so on. Good number of staff was removed and Genell was one of them. However, I've created a rank called Former staff and special forum for them so they can contact us about news and updates from their end. Recently, our lead mapper had to become inactive due to military obligations. Regardless, he is aware of the updates and progress being done. That being said, most of those deserved leave of absence. Same people were providing constant work and updates during the time they were active. Nothing is wrong there. I used to manage the staff more often then I do now given that I am working on several things at same time and alone. To reduce the pressure from myself I've recently introduced the management rank. Management rank is a rank made of people who are group leaders and where every group leader manages their staff and recruits them with higher ups reviewing the same. There are also staff forums about possibles staff candidates and how to manage them. A lot of people are being brought up, especially as of late. No one is being given a rank randomly. Same place is being used as a filter for people who applied for said rank. Given such system in place, management can share their opinion about someone who wants to join. That being said, I am not defending anyone. I am being realistic. However, people are often doing so much work and they need a moment to vent out as it is justified. When we started discussing the game I stated several times that staff might change several times before we release and pretty much that is what happened and that is normal and is to be expected. Given that game gone live I believe job was done alright. Keep also in mind that good number of staff is doing things alone due to amount of tasks needed to be done. You don't encounter a Pokemon, walk on maps and do the quests or seeing nice art because were vocal. You are seeing them because people worked on them. You don't have exclusive areas, MS pokes, quests and balanced spawns because I was sleeping. You have them because I was awake and working alone on them. Same goes for other staff who were/are doing things alone. I believe this explains enough to you. If you really want to know, I personally criticized staff and testers many times but all in good manner. I even told million of times that people are lazy and blind for errors but still they all know it's all in our common interest. That is for you implying that staff are sleeping on silk made bed. Trust me they don't and they are very professional when it comes to providing the work and show the results. In any case, I personally appreciate your input and concern and surely if there are any problems you addressed I am sure staff will figure them out and re-think. People are always learning, no one is perfect. You also have to know that people have life outside of the game and priority list. For instance, people are job hunting constantly meaning they want to progress. Another example is Shane about to get a baby where you will see less activity from his side. Same can be said for me. Most likely in October I will be moving due to my career in Forensic science. Do I have internet if I move and am I going to have time like I have time? I can't tell. That can suggest you that things are being worked on constantly. No one is perfect. Some people are trying some are lazy to try but I see my staff as ones who are trying. Remember, they aren't doing anything because of themselves. They have no reason to stick around when you look at personal interest. They are here because of you and spend some free tome to do something to make people happy.

    Route 15

    Not every mapper has same skill set or eye for detail. That map was done/redone by someone who joined recently to mapping rank. Given such circumstances, they are doing pretty well. If those are all errors on the route 15 I would be really disappointed with your observational skill and sense for detail. I mean if you want to report something, report it completely. When I look for errors on the maps I have a threshold of errors I can tolerate before I label the map as bad. Say; route 1 has 6 errors on 6 different style/places. I will label it as a bad and poorly done map that needs revamping from ground up. Nothing wrong with that, people learn from mistakes. - There are even errors on those screenshots you posted without pointing them out. However, it is a good report. The maps are always submitted to a change and arnie is constantly updating tile-sets. Good eye can catch an error on most of the maps in the game. But crazy as it sounds you do make a sense, at least error pointing wise.

    Encounter Rate

    does that mean on the whole server or for myself if i would hunt 24 hours a day Per user. Statically and randomly wise, they should spawn few times per day given their rate. Rarest Pokemon on the server, that is. Staryu by fishing is a lot more available than surf counterpart and mathematically speaking, more frequent to appear. Similar can be said by Shellder. They are balanced out pretty well and they are in the same rarity wagon. Chansey should be little easier than Starmie while Kanga little rarer. However, location would give me more info in case I need to look into. Spawns are not set in stone. With the time some will be re-located and replaced with something else. Consider few of them as a bonus for the time being. As for the rarity, I let the community to decide about rarity due to several reasons. It will need some little time for the community to decide about rarity. Once I notice I have enough to do changes I will do it. Keep in mind that people are yet to battle on a competitive scene and that there will be a lot collectors. I am not able to know in what someone will be interested but I can narrow it down and notice as you collect. For a few days I've been noting down the demand list and viability. When I have enough info I will be changing some things. Don't mix up this with "my pokemon will be common and useless" style updates. That wont happen.
  9. If you have access to your account but you can't change the email through several security steps you may want to report that as an issue under general bugs.
  10. Look around the account and recovery page. If you feel there is a lack of features and security options feel free to address same. When you register you are to activate the account via the link sent to e-mail presented. You shouldn't be putting e-mails you don't have access to. That being said, you being a donator is not relevant with the problem you are currently facing. We can only help you if you can help to yourself before addressing the issue. But like I said, give it a play around account recovery options and feel free to address issues and things missing.

    Encounter Rate

    I have a simple answer for you. You are looking at the wrong place and most likely wrong timing as well. Staryu will mostly spawn during night. And as Merse said, spawns are indeed easy when you look at them mathematically. That being said, every area I managed to finish so far is under 100% correct formula based on several factors I wont mention, but you get the picture. Now to answer, why some spawns are easier. Well pretty much because if they were any harder, chances of you getting viable Pokemon will be super low. You may get a dratini, and even 5 of them today but what is the chance of that Dratini being viable as an attacker and special attacker or rain version of Dragonite with hurricane? That being said, you need a certain nature, ability and certain IV set. Math behind this is pretty simple, some Pokemon might be easier, but viable version of them wont be, let alone shiny versions for collectors. To give you a small hint, 5 rarest Pokemon should spawn at least 3 times per day. Pokemon somewhere in range with Staryu should spawn a lot more often. Then again, it depends if you are fishing or surfing for it. I dare to say people might even have troubles getting actual viable Pokemon when you look at them as a competitive battler or a collector. Those Pokemon will always have their value. You will need to learn the difference between "wow a dratini catch" and "wow an adamant max speed dratini catch". pretty simple. Someone with handful of viable Pokemon will be known trainer. Not in a league with people who play for a week or buy their way into the game as you can see in other similar games.

    Better PCs!

    Same goes for storage as the new design was introduced but it will need a change soon. Address it under client issue. Keep in mind that staff are fairly busy and we don't have a art designer to work on those because most of them are drawing sprites.

    Better PCs!

    New PC was designed few weeks back. Report this to mappers and ask why it is not in.
  14. Please try and re-register now. Ignore the error you will get in the process. Once registered login with new account. Do let me know if issues is still happening.
  15. I was working on the stuck and broken accounts. If you are experiencing wrong user issue just re-register. Despite the error, the account will be created.

    PRO blocked?

    The game server is not set to block such provider. While I was checking webserver I got the same results. We are accepting the connections from said provider. You might want to talk with that ISP. Obviously, your problem is lack of internet freedom imposed by your ISP. That being said, we never blocked such ISP and we are accepting it's connections.
  17. The game was down due to server PC suddenly restarting due to updates on it. I am booting it back up now.

    safari dratini

    Yeah, Dratini is super rod strictly. Later you may find some via surfing though. Also, I would be worried if those pops out every 80 minutes. Dratini will be the pain to find, keep that in mind.
