It's the day after my birthday and this would have made for a nice treat. I've been scoping out other cities on the map for potential mass expansion, and the suspense here is killing me.
It's a PoGO Feature, so I guess the people working on this are either not finished with the project or someone forgot to press the button. Wouldn't be the first time. Likely not the fault of the Wayfarer team (I would guess).
You are right, this depends on the PGO team, and I understand this is not an easy thing to coordinate. Also, doing this is probably very low priority for PGO, so I see they would probably postpone this if anything happens (even unrelated but that somehow shares resources with this). Also, given the upload later fiasco, I prefer if they test things properly before releasing, even if it means they miss the deadline.
I don't see any excuse for the lack of communication, though. It's the main problem here for me. Missing deadlines is bad, but missing deadlines without any notice is far worse. You don't let people find out they are not getting the feature only after the deadline is already passed.
I used up all my nominations on my accounts the last two days while I was at my vaca house expecting to get the submissions today. Now ive earned upgrades in the last hour and they have gone to those submissions. A place I wont be back to for at least 3 months. I had timed it so this would not happen. I feel like niantic owes me two upgrades. On top of that I have about 8 things I really wanted to submit this week I would've saved my upgrades for but now I have to wait almost two weeks before I can submit. I wonder if they do this with their paychecks? "we will pay you next Friday". Its now Monday and no paycheck. Where is everyone?
Yeah, I was saving 7 nominations for my trip this next weekend, but since the word was we'd get 40 today, I submitted stuff in my local area the past week including yesterday... There's still time for me but I'm gonna be super annoyed if I have nothing for my weekend trip...
So instead of delaying it every time why don't they just say November 1st? Could you imagine how happy everyone would be if it came out October 26th in that case? That is the date I am picking for the release haha.
"Underpromise and Over-deliver" is apparently not the Niantic motto. @NianticTintino why no comment on this thread when you were quite obviously present on the forum while these questions appeared?
Niantic always goes quiet when things go bad on their side. Which happens a lot 🤣🤣. Yeah I get people make mistakes and sometimes deadlines can’t be made, but when you promise something to the players, at least give a clarification why it’s not out yet and that they are working to get it done soon, whatever “soon” means for Niantic.
I don’t blame Niantic for all the bugs, glitches or not making deadlines, it’s just their communication towards us that’s heavily messed up. They promised me is better communication on their blog, promised a monthly blog about the process and thought of what’s going on at Niantic (at least for Pokémon GO) They really tried to push their incentive of communicating better towards us.. they even copy pasted in every support tickets that were submitted close to the pokestop range staying increased (something which would have been permanent to beging with.)
Long story short: Niantic’s communication is still terrible, who would have thought 🤣
Maybe we need some representation on here from the Pokémon Go team. I mean it would obviously be better if we had the fabled and ever elusive Pokémon Go forum to be able to liaise with the team (like we can over at the Ingress forum), but if that's not a thing that's happening any time Soon™, and there are Wayfarer related things like this that are supposed to happen within Pokémon Go, maybe it would be wise to have someone from the Pokémon Go team on the Wayfarer forum for instances like this where a feature has been delayed, just so we can get a bit of communication? @NianticTintino would this be something that can be looked into?
Good suggestion @HankWolfman-PGO but if we do get communication from the Pokémon GO team I would prefer that on the forum. Like with Tintino’s update about code names it makes sense to post here, and then Thia has shared it on the Ingress forums for any Ingress agent specific queries.
Maybe the poor person who was suppossed to pull the switch started a covid quarantine yesterday and is too sick to work from home. No one else has access to the password protected log in to do it for them. So we are on a minimum 10 day delay.
Okay, I'm making stuff up here. But, that simple line of communication would have appeased everyone for 10 days.
Should I go use my current 6 nominations somewhere? Still not sure where I'm supposed to use 40, but I want to make a day of doing nominations, and I feel like I'll miss something if i can only take my current 6. (The 7th is still another week away from coming back)

Trombones can be happy? *confused trombone*
Also, it's now gone Niantic o'clock and nothing seems to have happened 🤔
tbf, Tintino and Dan probably doesn't get the Niantic o'clock joke, it was before their time 🤣
The problem is that people thought the announced date was based on the Gregorian Calendar we usually use.
Unfortunately, we forgot that Niantic uses the Metric Calendar.
Is the new daily contribution limit coming out today? I still haven't seen any changes in my account. I'm still on the 14 day limit.
Supposed to be. But no update yet. Any idea @NianticTintino
You are not alone, hence the other pages of comments requesting the same.
8-Ball, will we get our 40 nomination slots open today??
Answer: Don't count on it.
Translation: Signs point to no.
Wayfarer Forum moderators: “Should we remind @NianticTintino or @NianticDanbocat or the Pokémon GO team to turn on this feature?”
Mods: “Nah. @PkmnTrainerJ-ING has posted yet another GIF. Let’s approve that first.”

They already did the app update and release, five days ago. Some one just forgot to press the in-game update button or turn on the cron job!
They have something messed up. I had a nomination accepted today and didn't get an email. Figuring it's all linked somehow.
Almost 13th noon here, still none 😁
I used up all my nominations on my accounts the last two days while I was at my vaca house expecting to get the submissions today.

They've just fixed the swapped nomination photos issue recently.
So yeah, I think this 40 nominations update is probably delayed.
So instead of delaying it every time why don't they just say November 1st? Could you imagine how happy everyone would be if it came out October 26th in that case? That is the date I am picking for the release haha.

OK, na gut, der 12. war gestern. Nix ist passiert bei mir in PoGo? Wie geht es weiter?

Any update on that forum Tintino?
Sync issues, contribution limit update, abuse reporting system release, other bug fixes... The Niantic queue is stuck!
Maybe the poor person who was suppossed to pull the switch started a covid quarantine yesterday and is too sick to work from home. No one else has access to the password protected log in to do it for them. So we are on a minimum 10 day delay.

That sounds like “Single Point Of Failure” which would be a poor thing from a company as big as Niantic.
Not unexpected given their past stuff, but certainly poor.
Do we get some extra nominations as a one time bonus for the delay now? 😂
Should I go use my current 6 nominations somewhere? Still not sure where I'm supposed to use 40, but I want to make a day of doing nominations, and I feel like I'll miss something if i can only take my current 6. (The 7th is still another week away from coming back)
Take pictures of everything. You can do a remote submit if within 12kms. I take pictures and think about stuff a lot.
