"There needs to be a better method of obtaining Adventure Sync reward eggs"

#PokemonGO: Adventure Sync is a great mechanic and an extremely welcome addition to the game. The ability to rack up distance while the game is closed is very useful, and the rewards offered for different thresholds are substantial and offer motivation to get out and walk.With the recent changes to the egg pool, both the 5k and 10k eggs are probably some of the better possible rewards we can receive. However, it is exceptionally difficult to actually receive both of them, and this results in players not obtaining rewards that they sought, and that they feel, and are being told, that they have earned.Currently, these are your options for what you must do in order to receive both of the egg rewards, even if you’ve already met the 50km weekly walking requirement:Using the infinite incubator, hatch an egg, and then stop spinning pokestops or opening gifts until you’ve walked another 2/5/7/10km and until 9am local time on Monday morning.Using paid incubators, clear out your egg inventory simultaneously to at least 2 open egg slots, and then proceed to largely, and then entirely, stop spinning stops or opening gifts until 9am local time on Monday morning.A player must deliberately ignore and stop participating in significant parts of the game for extended periods of time. This is exacerbated by the inconsistent and broken distance tracking that has been present for many of us for a while now which makes it difficult to control or know when or if an egg will hatch. Even with paid items, you aren’t gaining much advantage in terms of convenience in accomplishing this, and still must forego playing the game for a period of time.Now what are he solutions here? Personally, I think the entire egg system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up (with Breeding somehow also involved) but I don’t think we’ll see that happen. So, without a strong opinion on what an actual solution would be, I’ll present some that I’ve seen.Allow us to toss eggs, even if it comes with some sort of cap or cooldown. This would allow players to continue playing the game as they wish and simply discard eggs when they know they will get an Adventure Sync reward.Allow this method only to award eggs to players in excess of the standard 9 egg maximum. This would allow players to continue playing the game as they wish and simply receive Adventure Sync rewards that they have earned. Players would not be able to receive new eggs from other methods until they have fewer than 9, as they always have been.Allow players to collect the Adventure Sync reward as soon as they’ve earned it and up to some amount of time after the weekly turn over at 9am local time Monday morning. This would allow players the opportunity to work towards clearing out egg space and choose when to accept rewards at their convenience, though would still require a period of walking without spinning stops.Allow players to blanket-decline to receive eggs from pokestops or gifts. A simple toggle in the settings that would negate any obtained eggs from these methods while selected. This would allow players to play as they wish with no restrictions, and receive the Adventure Sync rewards when they are awarded.What do you think? Which of these four methods do you think would work well? Can you see any obvious flaws in any of them? Are there other solutions you think would work well? Or do you think, tough luck, try again next week? via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Xh0p3Q
