Been there, done that. Not even the Gulag could stop a weeb on rampage.

I'm sure Stalin-kun is happy on his little Vecation in Japan.

He went on holiday. I'm sure your puppet master was the one behind this falsely given information,

And you're not my parent. So you can't tell me what to do and expect me to do so.

Welcome to PRO @Olibriss Should you find yourself looking for information on a certain Pokemon on PRO, then check out Complete PRO Pokedex. #SelfPlug It has features related to PRO, such as spawn locations, boss name and reward tier, excavation rarity (+ minimum discoveries), evolve criteria (and if PRO has altered it) and much more. Hope you'll enjoy your time on PRO, even though it sadly has some issues with server crashes lately.

Can't we all just get ourselves a special Valentine form Giratina?

If you don't know how a game is coded or if you don't know coding at all, then please don't make wild assumptions on how it works. Nevertheless claim that this or that is what's causing it. Because people will believe things so easily and then spread that misinformation elsewhere. As a part-time hobby coder myself (not in relation to PRO), I can confirm that what the staff above has said, is in fact true. Adding new items should not increase the chances of the server crashing or increase the intervals between each crash. And I am sure that the developers are bug-testing any event before it goes live. World Quest doesn't seem to be interfering with how often the server crashes, so I'm sure you can't blame it on that either. For all we know, it could be a memory leak somewhere in the code that's causing the server to bleed and eventually crash and restart. If that's the case, then items, wq's, outbreaks and events could be almost certainly be left out of the equation. Also, this is exactly why random players keep on spreading missinformation on PRO atm, because people believe in the same things as the OP does. I suggest that you forget whatever previous knowledge you had on this. Also... I cannot let this one sentence go unnoticed. PRO's developers are in fact more or less knowledgeable enough to create and maintain a game on this scale and continue to push updates and new content on a regular basis. I believe that if you don't think they are "professionals", you must be either ignorant or blind. They've done so much to improve this game since I first joined in 2017. So saying that they aren't good enough to handle this problem and that PRO has to consult or outsource a "professional developer" is such a disrespectful thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself for even uttering those things. And I know that someone will eventually say "But if they are professionals, why haven't they fixed it yet, huh?". Because even professionals use time and resources. Because its not easy to debug something on that scale, if it was, PRO would be fixed by now. Anyway, I'm not here to start any flame. Just here to give people the lession they need in order for them to wake up.

Looks nice! Pretty clean code for the timers as well. The only drawbacks to this would be the Google sheets itself. Simply for having limited resources to work with and its hideous design imo. And that it can only be displayed in a set timezone without having to allow write access. If only google would allowed single block altering, without it saving. This would have had a much better impact. Apart from that, well executed.

I mean, in the end you did loose your one chance to battle and capture the Pokemon that you had been rewarded with after today's WQ. I myself would be pretty depressed, after spending almost 9 and a half hours today only to experience that without any prior warning. Basically the reason why I mentioned this:

Exactly! Birth island is basically not explained to the player upon joining it, unless you decide to investigate what it is. You're basically on your own from the get-go. While some players often do tend reach out in chat, asking what this and that are. And at most times get a decent answer that would help them sort things out. There are others that tends to go look on the forums, which happens to have this lovely guide to help explain the whole WQ and mystery ticket. And others that visit the support section on PRO's Discord for help. But, there is also sadly the common player who do not do any of these 3 to seek out help, and thus falls victim to what you experienced.

It would be nice to notify the common player in a simple way (i.e someone who don't use the forums for any guides or the wiki page) A confirmation message before entering the battle, would at least make them aware that they can in fact leave the island and come back, before fighting the boss with a sync Pokemon. Or come prepared with a Masterball, should it be a Legendary. And perhaps having a second confirmation on the "surrender/run" when fighting the boss? But why? Some would maybe think "Oh, but if I run, I can re-battle it, because it's not "dead". This in theory could also lead to many unaware players doing this simple mistake and loose their one chance to fight it. +1 to this suggestion. While it has no "negative" side to it, it could in some cases be annoying for "pro" players that often travels there. But, in the grand schemes of things, it will be worth it to help the common player, who at some point will travel there.

Unless I'm banned from here, I suppose there will always be a challenger around.

In the meantime, you can always try out BetterHunt, which essentially is the same, but improved on some areas. I know it may seem biased of me to reccomend it, because I know the developers behind it, but this is not to advertise or reccomend it on a personal level. It seems like betterfarm is no longer actively supported by the looks of it, meanwhile BetterHunt still is.

But @g3n3r4l still has a valid point. From reading a few of his comments on other suggestions, he may be against most of them and give them a "-1". But most of the time he has concrete and valid points and arguments. I believe that it is biased to render his opinion in favour of a staff's idea contra a regular user's idea. I would say that he is contributing equally to a suggestion rather than just give it a "+1", agree on everything and move on. Its especially important to see both the negative and positive side of a suggestion. While he may focus mostly on the negative on some, it doesn't render his opinion worthless in that regards. As a final comment to this. Being respectful towards other user's opinion(s) is a important key factor to improve any and every suggestion. If it wasn't contructive feedback, I would understand your point. However in this case, it was a constructive feedback that he gave us. If you want to further discuss this @rhev, I'll be more than happy to discuss this in private. Click this to start a conversation with me. To not slide too far away from the topic at hand, I will give my honest opinion below. As that was my orginal intent, but I could not just ignore such a disrepectful comment right in front of me. My honest opinion on this suggestion: While someone has mentioned already, there is a confirmation message right before releasing the Pokemon into the wild. If the user in fact does ignore this and still release it. It is entirely their fault for not checking twice to ensure it was the right Pokemon. It will not, as mentioned in the OP, reduce the amount of requests made to the megathread about restoring Pokemon by implemeting this suggestion sadly. Simply put, because users would still release it by accident, but why? They could release a regular Pokemon by accident, which means whether it had special border or not, it would not prevent them from releasing the Pokemon either way. On the other hand, it would stand out if you accidently do put your shiny or event-exclusive Pokemon in the release bin. Maybe it could aid some unfortunate souls who in the nick of time noticed it, right before clicking "confirm" by the change of confirmation message/frame skin. What I would have done to improve this suggestion a step further: I would have included a double confirmation message when trying to release a event-exclusive or shiny Pokemon. By doing so, the user would quickly understand that something is wrong, before acting a second time. Here are some PROs and CONs about your suggestion. PROs: Could in some cases prevent a few users from releasing a event/shiny pokemon by accident. Would improve the current system that don't differ between shiny, event or normal Pokemon releases. New design is always a plus. CONs: Would not completely erase the fact that people would still release Pokemon by accident. Would not reduce the requests made to the megathread about restoring Pokemon (I may in some degree lighten the requets made, but would still be a issue) With a PC box update soon, the suggest may have already been resolved by a new feature or a rework. Even with a different frame border, it would in most cases not matter if the user is fast enough to click. I'm neither for or against this suggestion, but I've given my PROs and CONs regarding it. Because as @g3n3r4lsaid, there will eventually be a PC Box update that may also improve or has improved the current release system. Thus, this suggestion may have already been solved in the future PC Box update.
