Each scan of those radars pinged the servers like 1000 times... every player had one and then themselves as well. They never would have stabilized the servers without removing them. They basically ddos the server. And the tracking in game never worked in the first place. | ||

Yeah, they could very easily push some of that load client side. The game already pings the server once every 6 seconds for GPS information. Also, I'd like to see where they say that's why they removed it, because everything that I've seen has Niantic saying nothing. | ||

They release a patch that fixes like 900 different problems really well, but people are incapable of anything except bitching because the cheat website, which everyone knew wasn't allowed, got disabled... The game is perfectly fun to play without tracking unless you live literally in the middle of nowhere. Either just wait a month or two and don't play, or just deal with the fact the tracker temporarily doesn't work. How are people this stupidly entitled about a F2P game that's basically still in beta >.> On August 01 2016 19:56 Gahlo wrote: Yeah, they could very easily push some of that load client side.

"They can just recode their entire game" yeah sure There were people using scripts to map out entire cities using things like pokevision. That's hundreds of pings for all information in a completely new area every second. And besides, they've stated that things like pokevision aren't how they want people playing the game anyway. | ||

I personally don't care about the tracking sites. I didn't expect them to stay up long when they first came out, but after a while I thought Niantic would let them stay up until they fixed tracking. Only time I used them was double checking reported nests so I didn't waste 30 minutes of driving both ways to go to a place that wasn't worth it. And no, I don't live in the city. If I'm out I might see 1-3 people playing the game. Given that they just reduced the radius where pokemon actually show up, I have nobody to coordinate a search group with, and the spawn points are a max 15 minutes, no, finding pokemon isn't fun. The game is no longer fun. This game was in beta when it was in beta. Now it is a released game with barebone features and some of them are being removed. "Players should just bend over and let Niantic fuck them in the ass." yeah sure | ||

What reason could they have done it otherwise? They aren't trying to shit on the way people play, they want everyone to be able to have a stable connection. That is the #1 design goal they stated since release. Lol. They also want trading and battling... this does neither of those so I'm pretty sure it is stability. | ||

The way tracking was working before and now is no different outside of the fact that they've removed the disconnected footsteps system. They might as well take out the radar all together, because it doesn't work in any way, shape or form. I'd rather have a game with features that I can play half the time than a game lacking features that I can play all the time but don't want to. | ||

There are a lot of emotions I've felt the last week and a half. I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm scared. And yet the ball keeps rolling. I know there are several people on here who will happily lend me their ears as long as I want it. And I really do appreciate it, but right now I don't feel like talking about it at all. I'm just getting back to my apartment now and trying to generally stabilize. Alcoholism is serious business guys. ![[image loading]](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljg5tpLRiD1qbphcgo1_500.gif) | ||

They stopped people from scraping the servers bandwidth and that is it. Literally the play experience hasn't changed. | ||

Sun Kil Moon good for mellow moods. Except the latest album, only a few good songs on that one. | ||
