Published 3rd of September 2023 ✅ We're HUGE in Hong Kong! ✅ Chris has Wayfarer News Route stats are live for your created routes, my first route has been walked 1700 times! Wayfarer was down for 4 hours, no indication as to why. ✅ TOPIC #1 - When do Waypoints show up in-game? Pokemon Go: The POI map is typically updated once per day. We commonly call this “The sync”. Historically the cutoff time has been around noon or ~2 hours prior to the sync. All waypoint approved prior to the cutoff will become stops if eligible at 1:50pm, now this has been known to be delayed about 30-ish minutes from time to time.  Ingress now also uses a daily “sync” system versus the immediate addition to the game board when a nomination is approved. This sync typically occurs around 6:15pm and seems to be based on the UTC. What’s interesting, is the cutoff time for Ingress is like 12:02pm Other Niantic games seem to follow a similar pattern to PoGo with their own cutoff times. #JusticeForPikinBloom - SerAmanada makes an appearance ✅ TOPIC #2 -Hope Spring Eternal GoFest season is over! Time to turn the calendar and begin a new Niantic Season Wayfarer on Thursday was down for a few hours and I think we were all hoping for some BIG changes with the maintenance We want you to remain engaged with Wayfarer, here's how. Be patient - give yourself time to review Be ready to do some research Don’t be afraid to have google translate open for noms not in your language, Be on the look out for abuse, does it look funny or out of place? Understand, there will be coal. It’s part of the deal and don’t freak out Try to put yourself in the spot of the person that nominated the POI ✅Wayspot/Coal of the Week Funny News Story of the Week - https://apnews.com/article/snake-toilet-home-arizona-69468bc279d5ac12b63656784a2d1cd4 Go check out Chris' articles: ⁠⁠⁠https://pokemongohub.net/post/author/glawhantojar/⁠⁠⁠ Special Shout Out to our Executive Producer!
