次元リンク調整内容への反対意見および改善案 / Protest against changes of Dimensional link

[ASASE2999]

ちったぁプレイヤーの声聞いたらどうだ？

[Souichirou]

今日散歩中に一服してアプリ再起動したら更新されたのがつい数分前まで来ていた一狩り通知が来なくなっていたのでおかしいと思いもう一度再起動しても変わらないのでこちらを見に来たらもう調整入ったんですね。
調整するにして少し経って（シーズン2終了と同時くらい）からと勝手に想像していたのでびっくりしました。
それにしても範囲一気に絞り過ぎ気がします、体感通常のサークル距離と変わらないのでは…

[Pokumon5063]

なんで範囲縮小したん？今住んでるところじゃそもそもマルチなんて出来んのに次元リンクのおかげでマルチ出来てたのに……… 普通のと被るなら通知分ければええんやないの？その程度の機能も考えつかず、実装も出来ん程無能なん？なら、最初から次元リンクとかせんかったらええのに…… そもそもがマルチ出来へんマルチゲーやのになぁ

途端にモチベ下がったわ
今日１回も狩りに行ってないわ

Australian player in rural NSW. Please there are not many people near me, not to mention MHN players. Dimensional link was the best thing happening to me in this game. Now im back to solo playing….

Please dont nerf the range of dimensional links!! Everything is so far away in rural Australia and it’s already dark outside after 5 pm. Can you please consider players outside a major city?

[Gleitfrosch6023]

For me, there are three main player groups which are affected by the change:

1. those who go outside to play the game and used the dimensional links as a welcome game enrichment
2. those who can’t go outside (for different reasons, temporary or permanent) and the dimensional links were a welcome addition to their possibility to play the game
3. those who dont go outside, although they could to play the game and used the dimensional to get more monsters

To encourage group no. 3 to go outside, you decided to punish group 1 and 2. Additionally not all from group no. 3 will now go outside to play, a part (I dont know how big) will continue to stay at home.

So, in the end you decided to punish a majority of your playerbase in the hope that an unknown and definitely minor amount of players will play the game as you wanted it to be played?

I’m pretty sure, those who stayed at home are not the ones who invest most money into the game and you should ask yourself how many currently paying customers will now consider stop paying because of possible future player unfriendly changes.

Please revert the dimensional link change, it is hurting the playerbase and the game.

EDIT:
The town I live in seem to have very few players, since I started to play I saw maybe a handful players nearby.

ナイアンティックが大嫌い

[azyarasi]

本当に改悪というよりはいらない機能になってしまった、次元リンクは遠くの人と出来るだけであってリアルのお隣にいる人とだけでは出来ないからね

何のために実装したのかわからない
別のゲームの為の試験的実装としか思えない

[himeten]

通知を分ける
現地マルチの距離広げる
これだけやればよかったものを次元リンクの距離縮めますはほんとになに考えてんのかわからん
バカなのか？家にいる時はもちろん外に出てやる時だって星8やりまくれるんだから距離は前の方がいいに決まってる
その分被弾して回復薬買ってもらえるんだから狩りをする頻度減らすような調整すんなよ
やることなすことズレまくっててバカすぎる

Why do developers always have to ruin great features of their games? The dimension links were an awesome addition that was universally loved. Why would someone want to get rid of a feature that makes your playerbase more active and enthusiastic about your game?
Niantic bring this feature back like it was before!

[Holynerd]

I think it should be reverted. Live in less populated areas and my only option for multiplayer outside HaT.

If issue was local hunts overlapping in populated areas, just separate DL invites from local.

[TheDomacH]

I’m from small city in Poland. Dimensional Link was my only way to play with others not counting Hunt’a’thons. Monsters often spawns on private area so I can’t walk to them. Right now I’m thinking about dropping the game as DL’s were the most fun out of it.

[Xizted]

As a player in Finland who has never encountered a local hunter, those dimensional link monsters were a good way to fight monsters with other hunters. I know that the only thing that could really make the decisionmakers reverse this decision is a direct loss of revenue. I understand it does hurt the game, but that is irrelevant to the people who make the decisions. Even from that purely greedy viewpoint this decision seems weird as it may cause players to spend less time and money their game. When I could battle dimensional link monsters more easily, I spent a lot more money on potions than I did with just with normal monsters. Now I am less motivated to play the game and as an extension less motivated to spend money on the game.

次元リンクの範囲縮小とは残念な変更です。
利用者にメリットの方が多いと思いますが。
あー残念です。アンケートを公式がとってほしいです、あー残念。

[Nesta6914]

私も調査内容の反対意見に賛同します。
私の地域では1週間に1回”一狩りいこうぜ”が来るか来ないかです。
運営さんは極一部をみて対応したようにしか思えないです。
他の方も仰っておりますが、通常のグループハント募集の範囲を広げて、次元リンクは今まで通りにしていただきたいです。

最後に
問題になっても時間を置けばユーザーは静かに、なるだろうと言う考えが透けて見えます。
ユーザーはお金を落とすバカな人間ではありません。

[4hieta4222]

皆さんグループハントやりましょうってイベントをこれから開催予定って時にグループハントしにくくするアプデするとかどういう神経してるのかw
今回の改悪で、次元リンクが飛ぶ頻度が減った上、通常の一狩りいこうぜは0だったんだけどw

[Hunter284485817]

Please revert the changes!!!
More Dimensional Links → more fights → more chances of getting hit → more chances of players buying potions. Niantic do you guys don’t like money???
Playing from Germany… no one plays here… It is not like Tokyo where you can find parties everywhere… I am hunting solo for 99% of the time! Playing with a party is so much fun and you took the fun away.

運営会社を変えさせるにはCAPCOMに投書すれば良いのかな？

提案/Suggestion

The change to Dimensional Link join distance is a big downgrade with no real benefit, it should be rolled back to how it was when the feature was implemented. If the change was to improve the clarity of ‘join hunt’ for players in more active areas as described, this was a poor attempt to solve it and majorly harms the experience for players like myself who rarely ever saw ‘join hunt’ prior to Dimensional Links.

現状/Current Status

The increased range for joining dimensional links was a great addition, it was fun to see more frequent group hunts I was able to join outside hunt-a-thons or in person events that filled up swiftly and it had me checking in with the game more frequently.

I have been playing since launch in London and prior to this feature saw the prompt to join hunts spontaneously appear enough to count on one hand so the reasoning behind this change has zero benefit to me or the community I arrange meet-ups around the game with. It’s incredibly disheartening that an exciting feature was rolled out and then pretty swiftly gutted. The current changes make viable hunts to join far less frequent and when you find them the matchmaking takes the full time and often ends with barely populated lobbies. On a natural walk, I am out of range well before a single lobby has timed out and thus have spent minutes staring at an uninteractive lobby screen rather than actually fighting monsters or scoping out my route.
