Now Arriving: Germany! (+Japan & USA)

It takes multiple individual reviews for one tick on the global counter.

Based on how I understand the Wayfaring terminology, something to keep in mind is that 1 individual review doesn’t necessarily equal 1 record resolution. The resolutions come from community agreement one way or the other. I have almost 500 reviews and only a little over 100 agreements so far. So I have only contributed to 100 “resolved records” at this moment, but I have the potential to contribute to 500 if everyone agrees with me.

As individuals, we are being rewarded for our review totals. As a community, we are being rewarded for our agreements/resolutions. The community rewards were always going to be much harder to attain.

True, I actually knew that, I was just too hasty being snarky :sweat_smile: But compared to the last challenge it is actually easier to get the individual rewards and harder to get the community rewards. Now you can review edits which goes a lot faster, and last time there were a lot more local reviews (at least for me) which didn’t count towards the challenge :thinking:

Full disclosure, this is going to sound SO LAME, but, for me, personally, I am fine with not reaching the highest tier of community rewards as long as what we end up achieving actually helps clean up/improve the map and lead to a better game experience for everyone.

I know that sounds like I have been drinking way too much of the “Niantic Koolaid”, but it is honestly how I view this whole challenge.

If we don’t hight the top rewards, we, as a community, should use that as motivation the next time around.

It would have been nice to opt-out of your home location. My location is not in any of the challenge areas. While my bonus location is. I do frequently jump back to nominations and edits in my home location as well as possibly upgrades and/or rural nominations. Also the lag and errors received initially were frustrating. So I can see why it was harder to meet tier 4. Props to those who stuck with it to get on the leaderboard to 10 :clap:

We still have 23.5 hours left in the challenge. I hope Niantic will extend it a day or two, to May 23 or 24, to make up for SO much “RETRY” spinny nothingness.

They will not be extending the challenge.

Boo!
