Wayfarer Challenge Lag, Error Messages, etc. - UNACCEPTABLE

As someone who started early, I can say the site is pretty much borked now. Constant flood of errors, bouncing balloon and “all done” messages that were not there even yesterday. Yes, you can show your contribution spirit by grueling through a few of those, but unworkable if you’re aiming for hundreds of reviews.

Yes, I checked it and change my bonus location to other location from the list but this gave no change - after every review I need to wait 20-30 min with baloon page to receive next

There’s still time to address the problem differently, for example: 1) acknowledge that it’s a problem, and 2) adjust the reward threshold accordingly.

Go to Hongkong or Jakarta or check this thread out Review Locations

I’ve done 200 reviews only while looking for the community

Have you checked out the comment section? There’re on going posts

For the part of the word with people who celebrates Easter last week, there was rather limited posibility to participate last week. Including me. I was plan to sit intensive 2 days (today & tomorrow) to gain this badge but now I get frustrated

@AliceWonder1511 how many tries fo changing location do you recomend? I did it 9 times today (currently Jakarta) and no slighty change in review posibilities

Try some of the other big cities.

Personally I jumped around on small random cities. I quit at 500+ a few for padding. I just checked again, I’m got 3 in a row in small random cities in the US. Then I stopped because I wanted to leave some for others.

I wait until I hit the “come back later” message, then wait for it to go back to bouncing balloon until the second “come back later” before moving on to the next location. But I try to alternate which one I change each time.

I’m also not doing it while just sitting at a computer. I have wayfarer open on my phone and check if anything has loaded every few minutes in between other activities.

Definitely not ideal, but it’s the best we can do right now.

This works for now, but let’s see for how long :grinning_face:

And there it is, I could do about 30 in Jakarta before I got hit with the “All done.” Nothing from Hong Kong at all. Seoul is also a pittance, unfortunately.

This is a strawman argument. I never suggested such a thing.

Yeah unfortunately the system as it was created is not intended to work in the way this challenge seems to operate. It’s unfortunate too that there seems to have not been enough time to rework it sufficiently to make the process smoother. But you said yourself that you’ve managed to review 2200, and collectively we’ve resolved well over 200k. That’s no consolation to those struggling to meet their personal goals, but it’s not nothing either.

Just for comparison, whats a average resolve over the same time scale?

I think only niantic/scopely can answer that

I wasn’t expecting you to be able to answer :slight_smile:

As an Ambassador maybe @tehstone knows a man who knows a man (or woman :woman: ) who knows the answer…

During the challenge I changed locations and continued to receive a bouncing balloon and at least 10 minutes between each review appearing. Today, after the challenge has ended, and with the same locations I can smoothly continue from one review to the next instantly. No rewards for me due to the unreasonable lags though!
