My company just sent out an internal memo warning people about the safety and security risks of playing pokemon go on company campuses and the comment section is just a bunch of people who are probably in their 50s rooting for team instinct and poo poo. What the gently caress is this game.

You just click the button in the game from anywhere in the world. showbiz_liz posted:There's no way to know this for sure, but I strongly suspect that when you hatch a weaker pokemon from an egg, it's because you got that egg earlier in the game. It worked that way in the beta. If you sort by recently caught, the one you hatch will show up in the list back when you caught it. If you only have 10 guys, it's easy to see the new one. If you have a ton, you can either check what you have with what you have entered in the calculator or you click people until you find one where you suddenly have a bunch of new candy.

Dr. Poz posted:Ok, I'll use fewer syllables. Well said. Since I can't post about Pokemon Go while I can't login, let me bring up a decade old game that has gone through similar problems. In World of Warcraft, a death knight could cause the entire server to crash by using one of their moves. This was in beta, good for them, but seems like the same thing is happening with Go right now.

Map scripts work since you're using a personally generated api key. vvv Probably/Possibly/Maybe/Who Knows? Either they disabled the key themselves for 'reasons' or they launched the most popular mobile game in the world with a GoogleMaps key that would cap out on api calls in less than a week.

Nill posted:Someone on the dev reddit looked at the network traffic and saw that the 3 step and capture location map "bug" were due to the api key used by the game to update those being denied server side. Like... the google maps API key? Holy poo poo, that's hilarious/sad.

Kyrosiris posted:If that was the case, every one of the numerous mapping scripts would not function. I'm not so sure about that. It LOOKS like the map script will basically query one location and see what pops up, then check a step away from that, and keep spiraling out. I think the game is only receiving data about what would actually be visible from your location and what's nearby, but not getting locations for the nearby ones. I can't tell how big each step is from the mapper though, so I could be wrong on that. It also seems to sometimes miss things - though that may just be related to spawn times or being logged into the mapper from a different account than the actual game. But I saw a Clefairy and a couple of others nearby, and when I got there there was also a Mankey in the group that never showed up on the map. If it happened to be in a spot that was between two of the search spots, that could explain it.

Kyrosiris posted:If that was the case, every one of the numerous mapping scripts would not function. The app on your phone is basically a thin-client interface, but with fancy 3D and poo poo. It looks like a huge amount of the logic is handled on the server side. This is why the game shits itself in so many ways when the connection between the two is flaky. It's entirely possible, even likely, that when the app connects to the server on startup the server responds with commands to enable/disable various features. I wouldn't be surprised if there's already deactivated gameplay components in the client app that can be remotely enabled without needing to push an app update.

Tatsuta Age posted:Fun fact: programming isn't a "one size fits all" thing where every single dev works on a specific thing. Seperate groups get things done, with differing priorities, at various times. Drythe posted:Server stability wouldn't be handled by app devs Server instability is currently an issue in every level of the stack though. The app handles server issues terribly, no error messages, it either just hangs or continues on as if there is no problem and you just don't get updates anymore. That's on the app devs and given the instability that's hopefully their first priority. New features probably aren't going to be a huge priority for any team until the dust settles.

I can barely connect and when I do I can't capture anything. Even if I see pokemon nearby, the game just kinda freezes when I try to click on them.

Dr. Poz posted:That's reading some things into what I was saying that weren't there. There are doubtless different teams and thus developers working on each vertical. My point was that both front and back ends are recently released software and recently launched software is typically plagued with issues on both front and back end. Are you deliberately being excessively verbose to hide you don't know how any of this works, or is your thought process just really this confused? Actual neurological patients suffering from a condition causing word salad make more sense than the incoherent mess of an argument you're supposedly trying to present.

What even caused the server crash? The update seemed relatively minor, in that it took like 10 seconds total to download and install, so it shouldn't be from that alone. Did it just get released in japan? South America, maybe? E: like, there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason for tbis one, and the fact that some people seem able to get in probably excludes niantic intentionally taking down the servers

I just dont understand how developers continue to make the same mistakes game after game. It was understandable with the mmo craze in the late 2000s. Servers hammered, unexpected volume etc. But here we are mid 2016 and it's the same poo poo. I get servers having problems. I really do. I don't understand how you don't have someone that's out there saying yes we have major demand and this is what we are working on to fix it. Someone saying yes the tracker has been broken for 5 days, this is our eta and what we are doing to fix it. They need to tell people where their priorities are and what's going on to fix them. The game is a massive phenomenon, I get it. But to not have any communication with your clients is largely unacceptable, and will kill the hype extremely fast. Forbes, is putting out articles now daily about how the tracker is broken and the game is fundamentally broken because of it.

I am trying to figure out the IV sheet... I have a pair of Raticate. 1 is CP430 HP 54 Dust Cost 1300, Not powered up at all. 2 is CP19 HP 11 Dust Cost 200, Not powered up at all. Now when I plug them into the calculator I get... 1 has 23 combinations 31% to 80% 2 has 717 combinations 55% to 91% This is very little help, or I messed something up.

I think it's time for login queues lads. Also, as usual, the server shits itself the moment I get to the one park near me that spawns Charmanders. About 21 spawned of which I caught 3 and a pidgey. At least I saved a dog from being run over.
