  • I'm supremely concerned that routes like "Test" aka 'encourage people to play in traffic in a busy intersection' get created and approved yet quality routes with cultural significance and zero traffic interaction take a considerable period of time for approval. There doesn't seem to be an option to report a route for being…
  • Hi again @NianticTintino-ING, It has now been a month since you announced that Niantic would be taking efforts to reimburse Wayfarers whose upgrades were impacted by the Upgrade Issues outlined in this thread. As you know, I was impacted by this issue and worked closely with Community Ambassadors to document the problem. I…
  • @NianticAaron @NianticTintino-ING it has not been four weeks since the announcement of refunded upgrades, and I have not received upgrades for any of my at least five qualified upgrades which I posted about in these forums and worked closely with your Community Ambassadors to identify. Further to this, during Pokemon Go's…
  • Hi @NianticTintino-ING it has been three weeks since your post and I have not been reimbursed for any of the impacted Upgrades. I worked closely with community ambassadors to document the impacts of the Upgrade issue and can verify that I was impacted. Could Niantic provide some clarity or updates on the situation please?
  • This is a thread involving a specific issue which impacted Upgrades nearly two months ago, and currently the discussion is centered around reimbursements for those impacted Upgrades. If you want a "how-to" there are some lurking around the forums and easily accessible on the Wayfarer Discussion Discord. If those don't seem…
  • Have been able to create quite a few. After three weeks waiting I messaged the in-game help and asked someone to take a look. After a few days the routes were approved and so were some others around me. It might not be a good idea to inundate the in-game help service, but if you live in an area with no routes after several…
  • Be grateful that you're only taking a year. Many of us have been waiting two...
  • Someone in my local community had two owed to them and got them both at the same time last week. Perhaps it caps at two per week? If so, it would be very nice for me to have gotten at least one round of them in the two weeks after the announced reimbursements. We're fully reliant on Upgrades in order to get anything into…
  • It has now been two weeks and I have not received reimbursements for the Upgrades used during this time period. I believe I wasted five Upgrades during this time period which meet the defined criteria for reimbursement, and it seems like most other folks have gotten theirs.
  • This is simply a case of the reviewers refusing to read the sign. If "England Coast Path" were the name of a residential street it would be among the worst residential street names available.
  • Did they send an email or anything to confirm they were sent?
  • Have not received them either. Wish they would have provided more clarity on how the rollout prioritization was taking place or confirmed who was eligible.
  • Yes, 5th and 6th of July. The only day I could get routes approved was July 3rd.
  • This is an important question. I applied two upgrades on June 10th which did not work, because the alleged fix was not properly implemented. I worked closely with one of the Community Ambassadors via the Wayfarer Discussion Discord to aggregate some of my submissions which had not entered queue, and documented two that I…
  • This is a good solution. THANK YOU
  • Military base nominations are acceptable That's literally not what that says, and it's off-putting to see that you want to keep this argument going for years after it's been settled. Niantic's clarification, which you had the audacity to share while misquoting, says military bases are still not acceptable, except in an…
  • You rejected a nomination that had no pedestrian access and think this is a problem?
  • You haven't struck a nerve with Ingress players. There's no reason to call out players of a specific game for a specific problem that they're not affiliated with. One could reasonably argue that Ingress players were great stewards of the in-game map for years before PoGo players (which I am primarily) came and began…
  • Remote nominations/using existing photos is an extremely useful feature for me personally. I am a cheap bstrd and pay for all my cellular data. I do quite a bit of exploring and nominating, but it's necessary for me to upload when I'm on WiFi. I can't spend $20/month on Wayspot nominations.
  • Niantic claimed they were looking to refund Upgrades. I wasted 6 or 7, but it's impossible to get nominations seen or approved without Upgrades in my area. It's made the task of improving my local park significantly arduous, if not nearly impossible.
  • We're not asking you to resolve edits for us. I'm asking for an expanded edit radius. It's still typically easy for local reviewers to reach the "end of queue" but notice that localities barely 100km west have edits that are upwards of two years old simply because of cell rules. If we reach the end of queue, let us do…
  • This leads me to a related question. What percentage of appeals were accepted? If it was a high percentage it shows the issue we have some voters. I hope patterns can be spotted and those who rejected many submissions you overturned at appeal get warnings and advice relating to it. The issue with appeals is twofold: One,…
  • Now, we’re able to deflect low-quality submissions, like those with pictures taken from a car or with blurry photos, etc. before they are presented to the community. We also introduced a similar system to better detect duplicate submissions, including from our live Wayspots and previously rejected submissions. We are now…
  • What a beautiful first post. You're clearly lacking the manners or clarity to be taken seriously by anyone. "Stop [mess]ing around pretending to be woke" is one of the craziest things I've ever read but it's such an absurd statement that it has me genuinely curious. How on earth is Wayfarer "trying to be woke"? Does this…
  • I have this and have created a few routes, but did not receive an Early Access email which others have referenced. Would be great to have some more information! Excited for the rollout.
  • I've heard that there was a cooldown period ahead of time to make sure that people have time to edit/correct anything, but I'm also sitting on several days before voting and it's annoying. Wish we had an update on getting Upgrades compensated for that monthlong fiasco.
  • I'm having this as well. Upgraded nominations on Tuesday and they still aren't in voting. Was time-sensitive and got missed. Seems like every time I make a nomination and want it within a reasonable timeframe it becomes stuck. Very frustrating.
  • This truly felt to be the case with me as well. I'm not sure what else to expect from a group that wouldn't admit their Upgrades were broken and couldn't send out challenge rewards properly. Still haven't received the promised upgrades!
  • Could you elaborate?? How are the rewards being delivered? Are we meant to check our emails or will they be directly placed into our accounts? We were initially told that rewards would be delivered by June 21st, not that they'd deliver 24hrs after June 21st, so clarity would be beneficial.
