Unfortunately, I don't have any update to share regarding this however I can assure our team is actively working on the resolution.
That’s unfortunate. I’m currently at 9 different wayspots that were accepted but haven’t synced to anything due to no ingress sync.
Still, I genuinely appreciate the no-update update. Knowing it is acknowledged and being actively looked at is comforting.
The fact that these bugs linger for a long time and there is zero backtracking or backing up means the team is obviously reacting to about the "20m myth" after it got rudely brought up. Surely you could have done something like reverse the changes or the booboo that may have occurred sometime between 27-28 February that caused all of this to start in the first place, but I guess bug-checking and back ups aren't part of the Niantic workflow.
I'm not convinced. It took three months for Niantic-approved Wayspots to appear in Intel/Ingress back in August last year. The Turkish Foursquare actually happened in May, but we only got to see it's true viscosity once Intel migrated to the Lightship in August three months later, when the intensity of Wayspots in the river was grand. Plus all the photos that still aren't accepted, that bug has been going on for months now.
It's a whole "Rivers in a Desert" matter. In reality we're not really expecting a resolution anytime soon, are we? The Lightship database was a mistake. All of a sudden it deprived us of instant updates to the gameboard when something got accepted or removed? There is still not a Lightship Map that we can actively look at, which is only available through checking for duplicates in Wayfarer or when submitting something within a limited range in POGO only. But dupes are still rampant and everywhere.
"Lightship-only" Wayspots should not exist in Ingress. What game is going to use the alternate Wayspots anyway?
wayfarer - lightship - ingress are corrupt.
wayfarer tells me: 305 accepted nominations.
ingress tells me: 291 discovered portals. (and no, the difference is not the result of some duplicates)
Last week 2 of my submissions had been accepted and did not appear in ingress.
One of this portals is at least 500m away from any other portals.
I want to improve rural regions ... and nothing happens.
I have submitted new photos in ingress - want to replace some old redacted pictures. I got the message ... picture accepted. But not in my game.
i wouldnt count too much that Niantic is interested in fixing anything with Ingress.
They moved the database from Ingress to Pokemon Go, so they are up to something. We all know that Ingress has had its day.
My normally very active and diligent local reviewing community is really bummed about this. Most of us play both games but it's more fun to get the keys and profile stats when submitting via ingress. None of us is inclined to review anything at the moment because nothing is appearing in ingress.
This is highly demotivating and I'd hate for quality submitters and reviewers to be lost due to this major issue.
Sadly there is so much truth to this post. As much as I love the games (ING, PoGo), the way they handle their code and community(users) will ruin both over the long run. Put aside reselling access to the lightship database/features.
So its already been 2 weeks+ having this issue. I just canceled my core subscription as we don't get respected at all. I know its not too much...but its something. I guess asking for portal count +1(we already lost a ton from the last time that this happened before some months), a key and 1000 ap is too much! Now we have to wait for the sync to happen. Ingress only got downgraded since Lightship was introduced and only new bugs were introduced...perfect addition for us the players once again. I am really demotivated to submit & review as it feels like a clown fiesta, nothing is stable at all. And that comes from a player with 44k reviews and 1050 wayspots added across the games. Thank you Niantic!
Indeed.
Being able to nominate new POIs is my main motivation to go exploring places. This bug is just making things hairy.
Hopefully they will have this fixed soon™. But I'm not holding my breath in any kind of anticipation.
Hmm no update according niantic.
Status however changed from under Investigation to working on fix
Sounds better
I hope the solution includes ensuring already approved portals appear on Ingress.
Have just completed the 10 submissions which are part of a heritage walk with the view of making a mission banner.
If these do not appear in Ingress then unable to complete Mission Banner to encourage people to explore the area and exercise.
Let's face it, Niantic doesn't give a damn about us whining here and threatening with finishing our memberships as long as they keep getting millions from the thousands of people (mostly from PoGO, which has been unaffected by this) unaware of their poor way of handling things, specially their community. I currently see 71 people voted in this bug report, that's nothing.
I am sorry, but I do not agree with your opinion either.
Currently, sponsors are deciding whether or not to display their wayspot individually.
It is Starbucks' decision that some of their stores are not wayspot.
It is also Starbucks' decision to hide different wayspots in the vicinity to make them stand out as sponsors, and Niantic's decision to approve it.
This is true for other sponsors as well.
It has nothing to do with the act we nominate or review.
It may also be acceptable, but it is not desirable because it is considered a duplicate by being displayed in Lightship.
The companies that currently sponsor us would not like to see their duplicate wayspot displayed on the game.
Sponsors have become wayspots by offering money to Niantic to increase their value.
If you don't have to pay to become a wayspot, no one will sponsor you.
I also think it makes wayfinder look stupid to talk about how some reviewers think it's ok to nominate individual games as wayspot by having their sponsored spots show up on Wayfarer.
Wayfinder, being a decent reviewer and nominator, will not be misled.
And if there are wayfinders who misunderstand, they should retake the test again or retire.
Is it possible to force the Wayfarer team and the Ingress team to consult and synchronize (e.g., once a week) the differences of wayspots after they are no longer synchronized for the time being?
Considering that most of them are new wayspots (although some are modified or deleted) and are hidden on Ingress, we do not think that forced synchronization is an action that would have a significant impact on the field.
Or is the difference in time period inseparable and immediately significant?
Just in case it's relevant, I also got a POI approved that never made it to Ingress. It's too close to other POIs to show up in POGO.
I earned 100 agreements reviewing in Wayfarer to upgrade this submission, so I'd be disappointed if it was lost forever.
It would help a lot if we indeed get an answer to the question.
Will it be synced backwards of should we resubmit everything.
And if that is the case i think everyones submission count should be reset to 40
Maybe you've got it confused, because sponsored stops/portals are not in lightship thats why they arent duplicates. And again I will bring up, a sponsored thing will only be sponsored for 1 game, while of someone submits something acceptable, it will appear in multiple games, so trying to say a temporary pokestop thats only paid for a year or part of a 1 off marketing deal should stop it ever being submitted is just wrong. It isn't eveb impacti g anything, as, like I said, it will be in the database when it's accepted, not when it's sponsored. It's only a minor inconvenience at most in the few places it will happen
But if you want it your way, then the queue will be flooded by invalid submissions of sponsored things because they are now in the database and recently, making people who are new to reviewing or are reviewing without being on forums or chat groups think these sorts of things are acceptable, same with submitters
Qnd again I will bring up, niantic already discussed this, iirc they said if they are eligible they can be submitted regardless of if pokemon go has a stop there as well
Waiting to submit stuff is fine. Wasting your time to get an Upgrade just for it to go to waste? Now THAT is a problem.
I had more than 10 wayspots accepted with my Ingress Account in the last week, no one appeared in ingress or in pokemon.
When there is a test run needed to check the sync my agreements can be used of course :-)
When this broke before, if you did a 👍 on the Pokémon GO photo on the PokéStop, it forced a sync to Ingress. Is that still possible to do?
not as far as we know. Multiple users already tried it
Dang. Was hoping I might be able to get some nearby ones online in Ingress.
Typical Niantic responses here. Smoke and mirrors. Non-answers. Then one day, it'll be fixed, no response from anyone here. Folks will be upset about their stats not being corrected, but will likely get no resolution or answers or updated stats. Take it or leave it folks. This is what you get. You are not a customer, you are the employee. You work (reviews, scans, photos, descriptions, location/phone data) and your payment is a game. Heck, some of you even pay to work, with that CORE subscription. You would think they'd be kind enough to communicate with their employees, but alas, this isn't the case with Niantic.
We all should cancel our CORE susbcription at this point. Paying for something that does not work is very frustrating.
Another one accepted on 7 Mar 2022, 17:45 (2 days ago), still not on Intel.
One accepted just today 9 Mar 2022, 17:15 (1 hour ago), and I am sure that this too won't show up on Intel.
The one accepted on 4th of March, is in another city, another one in voting (very far from home), so I hope that they'll show up soon, because I do not want them to be lost in the void like the POI photos that never showed up!
I haven't played Ingress in like 7 years. What does the CORE subscription gives you that would make it worth it??
'Cause I know there's a subscription coming to PoGo as well (As per datamines) and honestly there's nothing these guys can offer me that would make me pay a monthly fee for...
Wait so the nominations made through Ingress are not showing up in PGo at all?
They are showing up only in Pokémon GO, and not in Ingress.
Barely or in Niantic's favorite phrase: "If you're lucky!"
