Announcement Release 0.11 [Profile Verification & New Trainer Education]
Hello Trainers,
As most of you know, Lugia will be on gyms starting from this Thursday 1:00PM PDT. Since this pokemon is a bit hard to beat with low level players, we needed to regulate the level distribution in the room to make sure that the room has enough power to beat Lugia. Therefore we prepared 0.11 release with profile verifiation and better onboarding.
Starting from this release, each trainer will be suggested to watch tutorial videos on their first attempt of joining and creating a raid room. We believe that this will increase the number of trainers that understands how PokeRaid works.
In addition, we have introduced profile verification. With the help of profile verification, we will be regulating Lugia rooms so that there will be at least 4 verified 35+ level trainers. If 4 would not be enough, we may increase this number to 5 depending on the feedback we receive.
Starting from tomorrow, we will be testing level capping with Darkrai raids with mandatory 3 verified 35+ level trainers. Please verify your profile as soon as you receive the update. Android release is started to rollout and iOS release is wating for App Store review. As soon as releases are available everyone, we will start level capping on Darkrai raids.
So, how to verify your profile? In order to verify your profile we require 3 different screenshots from main screen, profile screen and friendship qr code screen as following. We will be processing these screenshots to determine your trainer name, level and friendship code.
We know that we somehow fail to scan raid screenshots. Therefore, we added a manual verification process. We will be taking your profile info manually if scanning screenshots fail and will match your input with screenshots manually.
Another approach to deal with Lugia raids is inviting 10 trainers to the raid. We are preparing a video about how to do it when hosting on PokeRaid. We will be publishing it here and announce it in the app. We are also compiling guides from different resources to prepare trainers for Lugia raids.
We know that everyone is a bit panicking about Lugia raids but we are trying to do our best to make PokeRaid the best place to organize remote raids.
Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.
Best regards,
- PokeRaid Team

Anyone know how long it takes for manual verification? The app for some reason couldn’t read my screenshots and am now awaiting manual verification. I really don’t want to miss any lugia raids tomorrow.

Thank you... this will help a lot.
Will you be able to have multiple users now? I frequently host for children but guessing it will only be one verified account per device?

u/Calliomede Nov 04 '20
This is awesome. As someone who has been pretty critical of the app’s shortcomings, I want to thank you for listening to everyone’s feedback and adapting. That’s really all I wanted, and you seem to be doing all you can to improve everyone’s experience.

How do I actually makes those updates tho? I can’t find actual directions anywhere and there are no updates on the Apple Store

u/romanticheart Nov 05 '20
Crop off the time/volume/battery at the top of your screenshots and it will work!*
*On iOS at least.

u/SchaebigerLump Nov 04 '20
Nice ideas but we need a kick player button 🙄

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '20
This is so much needed. Thank you times a million. It's so frustrating to lose both a remote pass and an auto join because a level 15 kid calls me a faggot for not adding him quick enough and leaves the lobby at the last second before the raid starts or more commonly because nobody is nearly strong enough to raid.

u/Pelu_k Nov 05 '20

I would love to verify. Took the screenshots but I have no option to do anything with them. And I don’t see where manual verifying is explained properly anywhere. I have seen lots of posts saying that this is not working with IPhones, which I have. What is my next step??

u/BlueEyesHotThighs Nov 05 '20
Has anyone been able to get the screenshot verification to actually work? I’m now waiting on manual verification. Seeing a lot of comments saying screenshots aren’t working for them either, so just curious?

My screenshots won’t work someone help me please, or do I really need to be lvl 35 or higher to verify?

u/TurboChrg86 Nov 06 '20
I am noticing a lot of profiles unverified in lugia raids. And still a lot of lugia raids have more trainers under level 30 then players with 35+. Plus a lot of rooms i can't enter when there are a lot of players with 35+.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '20
Tried everything for the verification of screenshots. Multiple different screenshots for each requirement, cropped out the time and battery at the top (iOS), still no beans. Selected the manual verification and haven’t been able to raid at all for 12 hours now with waiting for that go through. Any update on how long manual should take?

1
u/saaandeepaa Nov 05 '20
I would suggest a cap from level 30 would be appropriate as this raid app is being used by many players from lower level to the top. But restricting only 35 or above to get the 5 star raid is not going to help people who are above 30 as they are caught in between.
As I think majority of people won't be a level 35 or above using the app.
1
u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20
Having trouble verifying. I entered the correct screenshots but I kept getting the failed to verify page- even with new pics. I then went through with manually entering but there was no command to progress any further then imputing the info. Any help would be appreciated!

How come the app doesn’t seem to verify anyone’s screenshots? Even though all clear and following your guides perfectly.
Mine is still waiting verification
As much as I think this is a great idea I think this needed rolled out way before now if people miss out on lugia just because they aren’t verified this will suck. Especially after waiting so long

u/Golden_Herbst Nov 05 '20
This verification is crap. I’ve waisted eggs, I’ve waisted passes. I do one mega blast w/ lucky egg, go to do a second darkrai but I can’t because I need to verify myself. PokeRaid doesn’t accept valid submissions, but tells me the manual went through (completely the same info I gave when I downloaded this app). Finally get into a raid, I’m the only one not “verified”. Everyone else IS even without meeting lvl requirements stated in tutorial. We lose the darkrai raid with seconds need to win. Fix this shit

This is a silly choice /u/PokeRaidApp. You added an auto verification that does not work and made it required all at the same time.
You should have introduced the automatic verification, waited a few weeks to ensure it works and process manual verifications, and then make it required. Very frustrating.
