Well last Week an Update was announced by niantic and was rolled since the 30th of August. I guess everybody expected it and in it's current state PF was very high maintanence anyways. I guess everybody is hoping for a Soon™ 2.0 release ;-/

 

now it seems my key have expired as well... i guess there is no point in getting a new one before its updatet

 

hope they refund us the lost time~ would be nice if they had a banner or something here that gave an approximation as well.

 

Time lost will be refunded typically.

As for an ETA banner, that would be a wasteful false hope. For example, when I spoke with Hatching, he was hoping for releasing it tonight, which was unable to happen clearly, as a result if we had announced that, and what happened happened to delay it, we would have a bunch of furious people fixated on a ETA as a factual time instead of a rough guess/estimate.

 

same problem, do you figure it out?

 

i am assuming it have not been updatet yet, it'll come sooner or later^^

 

I put a post in our discord chat, I will post it here as a quote for convenience sake:

 

idea: add a pop-up when pressing the 'start' button that says 'bot currently outdated, botting will most likely result in a ban' with two options which say 'ok I understand, cancel my login' and 'I don't care, I will risk my account'. former closes the login, latter gives access to the login screen to start the bot. Instead of dictating that people can not use what they paid for, give them the option to take the risk. anything less is fascism (which despite my avatar, I look down upon).

e\ I should also mention that from this post it seems as though your viewpoint is based around your users being imbeciles who lack even the most basic grammatical knowledge. Granted while I'm sure that is not the case all the time and even though your post has errors, perhaps if you saw your users in something of a more positive light it would add light to the world around you. I for one do not enjoy seeing mods talk down to the people they are supposed to be helping, in any format - be that directly or as is the case here, indirectly.

 

thats actually a good idea Senpaii

 

I understand the message of your 2 point post, however so far, we have never implemented running the bot unsafe, as all it does is give niantic easier ways to detect us, when using out of date API's. We strongly advise against it, as its not a matter of someone being unable to use the bot, but a matter of, how much more is given away. That said, we STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST IT however one can disable tripwire in the buddyauth.com if you do this, you will not be stopped when an update comes out, and your accounts will have a 100% increased chance of detection.. Again we STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST IT but you are free to do so. This MAY impact your time refunded though, and we assume ZERO liability should you choose this method.

As for part two, I can respect your position, however being on both sides of the fence, it's a bit easier for me to see the point I am making on this. We have given soft ETA's before, and as mentioned in my previous post, people rant and rave and "riot" if the soft ETA isn't met. Also, just because people want and ETA, doesn't mean we have one to give... It's difficult yes, but its the truth of the matter.
I have always tried to speak to the users in a positive manner, however after being insulted, and attacked, by the very people who claimed to understand what an ETA means, and then blame me and attack me personally, its a bit difficult to sympathize with that point. On top of that, I do not have that information at hand, I am limited on what I am allowed to say, before an official statement is given by someone above me, but I have ALWAYS tried to give the community information as soon as I have it and am able to, I cannot be held liable, if the community plain out just doesn't like the answers. There comes a point where the staff here, tire of the abuse, and I know at times I have, but we are still here, because there are still reasonable, and respectful people, who come to us, like you and many others. I have stated many times before, I am here to help the community, I am not a part of the core bossland team, but I do my part, because I do care about you all. Please keep in mind, many of our "support" are unpaid, and just volunteers. Many of the people who get alot of flak (not speaking of me in that instance).

I really hope this helps.

 

It does indeed and I thank you for the information! I'm curious however.. if tripwire is disabled, would I still be botting on the old API or is the new API pushed to the bot somehow? I understand my actions via bot would be detectable but I would still like to use the current API in my hazardous botting, even if the bot itself hasn't been fully updated. After all in my limited understanding, some very basic things may not trip the detector if they were not altered by the update and the api shows as current. (I am by no means a technophile regarding the finer workings of programming)..

regarding the second portion, while I do understand reactionary behavior I can only reference betterment. as an analogy, I once spent the better part of a summer at severe odds with an individual. One day I found myself in superb spirits that could not be dampened even by his arrival, and made a point of elevating his spirits as best I could. he seemed dumbfounded at first then responded in kind. granted while that may be extreme for your situation, in my case he became a good acquaintance henceforth following said encounter.
just a thought. let not the moths flicker thy flame.

e\
just ftr.. disabling tripwire still yields the same 'pokefarmer received an update' error message and the bot still stops.

 

BOT is dead.
They do not give us any information about the progress of the update.

 

No progress update does not mean the bot is dead.

We're still working on updating PF for the latest update.

Closed.
