      While the reversion will initially feel counter-intuitive, I do think it will eventually become trivial to everyone. It was like this before the pandemic, and will not become more dangerous than before the pandemic (-Unless you are disobeying pandemic regulations). If the pandemic is resolved in the area, it is very trivial, I am only concerned about areas where it is unresolved.
      I am just more concerned about what Niantic has said about it. They said it will make the game even safer, which is false. I honestly just hope they only remove it in areas where the pandemic is resolved.

      Reducing the radius while COVID is still around is so stupid. Beyond stupid, really.
      It was a good Quality of Life for the game. There are pokestops near me that YOU CANNOT reach from public sidewalks and you have to walk on private property to get to. But with the extended range you can reach them. Seriously, there is zero logical reason to REDUCE pokestop range ... at all.
      It isn't like they are going to get more money by doing it. Hell, the best thing for them to do would be to increase the range anyone can detect nearby raids.

    This matters because the distance rollout is affecting the U.S. And New Zealand FIRST. Eventually, it WILL affect those of you in other countries unless our rollout causes change.

      While the reversion will initially feel counter-intuitive, I do think it will eventually become trivial to everyone. It was like this before the pandemic, and will not become more dangerous than before the pandemic (-Unless you are disobeying pandemic regulations). If the pandemic is resolved in the area, it is very trivial, I am only concerned about areas where it is unresolved.
      I am just more concerned about what Niantic has said about it. They said it will make the game even safer, which is false. I honestly just hope they only remove it in areas where the pandemic is resolved.

    As someone who lives in the UK where the interaction decrease hasn't happened yet, I honestly agree with you. There are players out there that greatly benefit from the increased range, people with limited mobility or some form of disability, people with children that can't get out much and have a stop/gym just out of range without it just to give some examples. The increased range was meant to be "for the foreseeable future" (Niantic's *own* words, if I'm not mistaken) - not "until we decide to turn it off".

    @loisingram3225 3 года назад

    I am a US player and I think this is inexcusable on Niantic's part!! The increased playing (and income!) during a tragic pandemic should tell them how important the increased distance is to players. Disabled players can play more, all players can still play in bad weather, players can spin without trespassing or interfering with access to businesses, and players can still maintain safe distances. Central Texas has raised Covid to Threat level 1 and people need to be encouraged to be safe, not to gather in close groups! I never played the other Pokemon games but my children played all of them. My daughter got me into Pokemon Go and it was a tremendous help to my mental health after being laid off in 2020; it gave me a reason to get out every day and at least take a little drive rather than stay home and feel depressed. Niantic sent a response that basically was no response; I really hope their "task force" takes us seriously!
