#Mapbox Transition Issues
1992 messages · Page 2 of 2 (latest)
Map is totally blank now, tried restarting multiple times to see if it would change. It didn’t
I passed this to the team, they are currently investigating and I'll keep you posted! @lament dirge
Also have empty map now, as it was last Sunday..
Empty map here as well. Nothing in site anywhere no matter where I go.
Give main roads spawns and drops already 🥱 especially short range spawns... (this was from 2 days ago, but it's been like this since the technical update AND the initial switch to mapbox 🥱)
Totally empty map, earlier had few drops and no wild spawns. Since 1,5 hours ago NOTHING
Nothing again.. 😒
My map is back. I see some changes in supply dropps
Main roads still have no POIs 🥱
My supply drops changed last night removing some from my house. 😑
I’m just glad that the company cares enough about us to leave us in the dark and not compensate us for their development issue and leave us in frustration and falling behind in the game. I hope people stop buying and cancel vip during this time and even more a mass walk out of players.
I was speaking with another and from their stupid no gps take me to a dino nest to get dna. It appears they have no idea how to fix it so they will send you to a minefield of Dino’s to dart. I could care less about the dna darting. What about the supply drops with coins, sanc items, and game cash, oh yeah and boost? Isn’t that what we care about? The sancs are where the dna you want is aside from omegas anyway. Hopefully their stupid dino field doesn’t have raid boss locking Everything you care to dart 🙄😑
Bet that "area" won't have short range spawns either just like how I can't even find an Amphi lol
pfft, i've had exactly 1 short range spawn in walking distance for a total of 5 wks EVER. i had one when the first map update happened, but gone in less than a week....
just no proximity spawns in my neighborhood that i can walk too
The same thing happend to me after the newest patch today
But we just have to wait for their new solution the next update
In almost sure theyll figure out a way to fix it
Empty map today after map reset. Restarted multiple times. Entered sanctuaries and completed FIPs. Popped a scent. Entered the arena for a battle. All led to nothing. Absolutely awesome game.
Here @quartz cradle
I’ve had a blank map since reset today. Any suggestions on what I can do?
I usually have 13 spinners
I use to have 16
I’m backup yay 😁
I have only seen 1 Geo the whole time it's been on my tracker since the initial mapbox change 💀 Before the mapbox switch, I saw like 2 that actually spawned in a day within a 30 min time span on the road and then came where I only saw 1 on my tracker ever, since the mapbox switch
Next town over has them.
I’m down again 😢
Still have an empty map as well. 🤷
Pile up Highway 121.
Found 2 parties.
Quit the game
I'll keep the game I staled, but probably not play it. I did thar for a wile a long time ago.
Hey everyone, thanks for your patience on this. The team is going to push some changes at 10amEST that should address the creature spawn density issues some of you have been having. This won't affect POIs (SD, ESD and strike towers). For those of you who do have creatures spawning around you, but it has been minimal, you should see more creatures with this fix. For those players experiencing an empty map and no POIs, the team is hard at work on improvements that we will share with you soon.
***Update: the fix has been pushed. Changes should roll out gradually throughout the day. Please let us know if the creature density improves for you!
@here ^^^^^
So you changed in the last hour the map again, nice to have the same boss three times in my area.
Today in the morning i have had pyrri, ref and megalosuchos. Also the drops and sanctuaries changed again their positions. I don‘t get the point
Also there is something wrong with the sanctuaries, this bug exists still the map transition issues
Thank you guys, update is nice.
BUT!
What is happening with short-range spawn? I try to put amphicyon (common creature!) into tracker and I saw ZERO of them during 2 kilometres. I don't know how to find Rexy, Dracovenator or Geosternbergia, if I can't find short-range common)
Also many reports from my alliance that 210, 400,610 and other mistakes appear in last hour, some players can't login into game😔
The team is aware of the issue, and is restoring the server issue. If you could refer those alliance members to support that would be great: https://jamcity.me/JurassicWorldAliveSupport. Thanks!

@here sorry to ping again! Just posted this in #announcements. We have shared a more detailed update on the current Mapbox transition issues on our website. https://jurassicworldalive.com/news/november-important-news/
Map is still the same here with only 2 drops instead of the 15 I had. Also, all of the bosses are all bunched up around the 2 drops so I can't even click on the Incubator or any creature that spawns there.
Despite our 18 months of failure we still will not compensate our valued and loyal players who fight this frustration everyday that is innocent to this geological map update. We know it sets their play styles and progression back further and prevents them from enjoying the game they love. Keep on buying things in the store while we work on this map and add more omegas.
Daily calendar fraction of rewards compensation should continue until the team fixes their issue. Stop punishing the players for your alls mistakes.
Hey Pickles, the fix today was just targeted at creature spawns and did not affect the raid bosses being bunched up or the amount of drops on the map. The team is still working on a fix to those issues.
Am I going to get more drops?? I have missed out on SOOO MUCH (DNA, Incs and Spins) I have been one of the many loyal player for YEARS. And I do second what @hazy lichen said, you've completely stopped reimbursing us affected players who again, are missing out on soo much because of a mistake on YOUR END. Why are we the ones who have to lose out?
In 2021, the revenue of JWA was $102 Million. I don't think it's too much to ask, to get some decent reimbursement.
Amen to that I am letting my VIP expire and will stop buying items until everything is fixed. If that happens.
I canceled my VIP and it runs out on the 12th. I'm honestly not even going to calculate how much money I've spent in this game. It just makes this slap in the face hurt more.
Ohh yeah if I actually thought about i would probably freak out….we spend tons of money and it’s a joke to them
It's a simple equation that seems to elude them.
Good Game Play + Happy Players = $$$$
Main roads/routes need POIs.
There are no drops or short range spawn points on them at all, and even short range spawns are elusive as a whole now
When you can't see an Amphi on your tracker 
same
Overall there is not enough of everything in the out scurts areas. I use to have 3 sangtuaries i could reach from home and 18 supply drops a very fine mix of both normal and event supply drops . Now i have 8 supply drops 😵💫 its not easy to keep up with a giga scent with 8 supply drops only ,🤦🏼♀️ that is a problem..i NEVER would use coins or hard cash on darts . Thats just redicules . So you could just remove the limit on darts and alot more ppl would be happyer about the game 🤗
i've played for years with an average of about 6-7 supply drops. it makes you be choosy with what you dart in a giga...
There’s been nothing in range from home since map update. The recent updates have removed most of the drops in my surrounding shopping centers which used to be loaded with drops. All my neighbors backyard are parks now. There are long stretches of busy roads near me that have also become completely empty. I understand you are trying to fix but it’s still far from fixed and you need to continue some compensation.
Map is till the same. I use to have so much around me
nothings changed
I still have no supply drops on my street; can’t get raid invites and haven’t even seen a short range Dino since the map transition 😡- and that includes going out on long rides.
can't really see any improvement regarding spawn points, number of drops has changed so not complaining about that, still much less drops than after mapbox was released though, not a single short range spawn within 20 minutes
so basically unchanged since the "technical fix"
If Jamcity would have been more responsible, maybe Google wouldn't take their maps away from them and this problem never happened 🙄
Describing it as "less than smooth" is an insult and needs calling out. We are your customers here and have supported you all these years and expect that support reciprocated. That's not a big ask. Of course over the years we have seen little evidence of this and mainly just seen incompetence so have little reason to expect this "largest and most significant project of the last 18 months" to be successful. Your move Ludia/jam city, the players that stay await to see how you handle this.
I agree. Those twice daily fips were a godsend when so few drops visible.
Yesterday Ludia turn on long-visibility for all spawn, so we can't find any short-range creatures now. They don't appear
That's the more important issue for me. I've completely stopped playing in the last few days bc I'm tired of not having raid bosses, event spawns or strike towers close enough to me to play from home. Playing in a moving vehicle is nauseating and it's just too hot in Florida to go exploring on foot. If I can't play from home I'm not gonna play. How about expanding everyone's range to 300 meters to give us more stuff to interact with?
Good luck darting cleverl girl...
As someone who isn't able to be mobile, this mapbox thing is pretty irritating. Especially when my daily missions involve darting a certain type of dino or doing spins. My daily streak is pretty much shot because of this and I'm running out of scents to use. I don't even get the multiple daily calendar things anymore but the map is still messed up. I have two spawn points about a 3x the range of my radar away from me in either direction with so much crap clumped around it that you can't click on the thing you need. I thought this was supposed to be better than PokemonGo but, I'm starting to see the similarities cause I can't do anything on either.
Crab boss?! I'm suddenly interested in this game again.
It needs to work in your area first. 🤷🏼♂️
Almost 4 weeks and nothing in my area. Missing out on everything.
I'm on weekend #4 with no supply drops, no strike towers, no special supply drops with special dinos under them to dart. And no zone spawning dinos
Honestly, I'm close to leaving the game. I can't play half the week. I'm missing things other players can get. And we are no longer being compensated with extra daily rewards. And I'm missing all the FIPs for those days
again bad with supply drop 😦
My new Song
TotosWorld feat. Ludia - You'll (n)ever walk alone (Anfield rmx)
im just gonna quit, cya 👋
Granted i am not a programmer however u spent 18months and somehow have nothing to show for it… u had zero idea that people came to play a game now there is no game to play and its been a month+ and there is still nothing …
So the cluster was supposed to be fixed?!
I was on a road trip and it’s either areas of complete emptiness or concentration of everything
Twin birds.
Ok now I’m down to hardly any stops. Dinos only appear (very few) only on the outer areas of my circle where the drone is weakest and less time to dart them. Please Please consider what many of us are asking for from you. Bring back the “Extra Daily Rewards compensations” for those of us that are drowning due to the loss of a decent game to play. I realize that you would have to give them to all as you can’t identify only the players that have been so affected by this issue. I can’t drive around daily to try to find what I need just to get my daily’s done. Please tell us if you find that this can’t be fixed by updates on your end. Then we can make an informed decision about continuing to play JWA. It’s been a month and though you appreciate our patience, our patience is wearing very thin.
I'm fortunately lucky, I have drops and bosses, but it's sad and makes me angry to see how Jamcity doesn't care and let this issue for weeks amd doesn't do anything...
The only problem I have with the map that when I'm go to work, my road is half empty, barely anything on it and at the daytime I can't play because I'm sleepin' then (Night shift)
Well i see more dinos so it is some improvement but i also noted that dinos only spawn close to dropp or special events. So if you don't have and dropps or special events you don't get any dinos.
0/6 attempts on Clever Girl. Thank you so much for the great event. Loving them when there are absolutely no event supply drops... And no, it won't entice me to go and buy the incubator in the shop...
One type of strike.
Also those are nice Omags. Too bad they're not in my circle.
at least they are in walking distance, consider yourself lucky
Is this related to the recent issues with maps and battles?
It won’t select anything. Restarted 4 times.
Yeah it’s a lot harder to complete challenges for data to progress in the pass.
That location symbol in the game's logo means nothing anymore.
i have deleted the game because of all the issues. i will check back in a few weeks. i enjoy the game but it so worthless for me to play because of all the issues and bugs atm.
😑
I wonder.....I have a theory I'm going to test.
Nope. I thought turning off and on my location would help. Nope.
I can’t track any close range spawns. I can’t even see Amphi or Gorgonops with or without precise turned on. So there is no way I will see Dracov, Rexy, Panthera, or Tiger
Oh that why i haven't been seeing any dracovs pop up
I'll never unlock it if it's like that😔
I've never had a close spawn.
Who has
even if you don't have a proximity spawn in your larger circle, you should still see some in the distance. well, until map issues started...
I had two in the distance a long time ago. Is not even happening anymore.
same, even before mapbox it wasn't somewhere attainable within 15-20 minutes anyway, garbage add to the game
yeah, my order on darting under ESD are
-things i need
-exclusives
-proximity spawn creatures
Still absolutely nothing here.
Don't know what they are doing!!! I've lost 2 roads-over 4 supply drop towers & 4 Incubators. I live on a corner lot in my subdivision & the new maps have taken that away. I'm one of many that is ready to leave. You have made a mess of this game.
0 event supply drop today. Keep up the good work.
Not adding the complaint that there are twice as less drops as there used to be because that is pretty obvious.
I have 25 spins (last I counted) around me when I'm at my home. Today I had ONE event spin in a 266m radius. 1 out of 25 possible spins were event spins... Thankfully it was just common dinos today, but that's beside the point... The distribution is just really off some days for whatever reason. I believe it got better with the latest map tweak last week as i have seen better distribution over this past week, but days like today show it is still not "good".
Main roads still have no POIs, especially in rural areas, and short range spawns still don't exist
Admit the issue 🥱
Please
I found 3 green supply drops on the way to work today. None at home or in my neighborhood. 1 on the interstate and then 2 on the road to work which is out of range from work. 😑
My map has been changing all day. I’ve had a few forced restarts and afterwards I get less raid bosses. My drops spread out a little bit too, but nothing major
My raid bosses have been changing around today as well. Still no short range spawns. No new supply drops. Also the servers seem to be having issues with connection- yet again.
I love how we are all just being ghosted by Ludia Support at this point.
Yep
We almost need a hide bosses option somewhere
been asked for years, not happening...
Wouldn't it be nice if... That road had drops on it like it used to and short range spawns spawning on it?
Hmm... Correlates to main roads in rural areas not having POIs...
🤯
That's highway 121.
I'm not in the middle of the woods. I'm sandwiched between highways.
Ah, if it's an interstate highway then that's typical lol, but still. Main routes and some roads, especially in rural areas, also have absolutely nothing now since the original mapbox change
I hardly do.
They have no clue @fierce escarp.
Interstate highways were the only roads that weren’t populated with Google Maps in my area. Now a few private drives I can’t drive on, a few subdivisions and the closest town are populated on the MapBox version. I have to drive over 2 hours to max out drops, battle towers and dart Dino’s because the map is blank where I live. They are making little to no effort to fix things from what I can tell. The roads I was on today had fewer drops and fewer raid bosses. I guess they are doing something, making it worse. 🤬
Join VIP pops up pretty often. They are pushing hard to get people to spend money on a game that 1/2 works. Fix the game and people will spend money again. I miss having VIP, but refuse to pay for it or anything else game related until they fix the game in my area.
How many months has the TEAM been working on the raid invite issue for iPhone users? They expect us to have faith in their ability to fix problems?
Sigh second hotel and the same issue
Jeez
What progress has been made fixing the map? None. None what so ever. Absolutely useless. Used to rotate between at least 4-7 spawns inside my circle, without VIP. Now I can barely get one to spawn in. Been unplayable for weeks.
Lord have mercy!
They should sell the game for a better company who actually CARES about the GAME and the PLAYERS
Panicked trying to find my sanctuary creatures and found the way over there. How did that sanctuary get way over there?!😵💫
Very low again supplies drops 🙁
I feel you
No event supply drop for legendary creatures... After missing out on clever girl last Sunday now it is no panthera blythae today for me it seems. Once again great job for the smooth transition to mapbox.
Yep- only the unique event drop boxes here. Last time it took 45 minutes of driving to find just one legendary drop. I just don’t have it in me to keep doing that. It’s infuriating.
It is supposed to be a game where you take a walk and explore. You are not supposed to drive a car, sail a boat or fly a plane to play it...
But it's not normal you have to drive 45 minutes which would be much more on foot to find the event creature you want to. Okay, the game is want you to walk, then fix the damn map so people may not waste their fuel
I can guarantee you hardly anyone has walked to get dinos and drops unless you were using a scent that wasn't a giga, unless you had to and were the driver of the car (or stopped at a location to get something), the whole time this game has been around
If they want to stick to this, let alone even attempt to fix the map, then at least just fix the map already smh. Whole routes with little to no supply drops and spawns is just... horrible
Or give us quests with using AR, most phone can use it and make a photo of a Triceratops by a river or something like that, if they want us to walk
Forgot that feature even existed 💀 Too irrelevant to not forget it
Plus Rexy makes no nose.
Right. I said that too. #1162068786866819154 message
Will posting screenshots here help JWA assess and fix the distribution issue by providing info, or are they good on that front?
Send away
Yea- exactly. It’s impossible to walk to anything now. Before this change I actually had drops on my street and short range spawns and I would get out and walk to them when they popped up on the tracker or even to get closer so I had more time to dart. I would walk for treasure chests. Now it’s impossible to do that in my area without going on an epic drive.
I would walk down the highway a little to get epics or strikes that were just outside my circle and still be on my property.
One style event incubator not a single event creature. RIP legendary and unique chances
Is this a glitch?
no, it spawns in zone 1. 1 attempt each week limit
Ah OK. I just never seen a wild unique before.
Dracovenator is a wild unique - but a proximity spawn; which means it’s basically non existent now
also a limit of 1 per week for dracov, WHEN proximity spawns exist.
Same location, different angles
I feel you.
Nothing has changed for me either sadly.
@still surge Are you ever going to respond to us? Is there an actual fix you guys are trying to work on?
Well they worked on it for a year and a half and we got this. Can’t imagine it being fixed or improved ever. It’s a shame they wasted that year and a half releasing new creatures and 16372936 new moves and abilities and other things nobody asked for instead of preparing and testing the beta map at the time.
Week 5 of a blank map in my area? I’ve lost count. No hope of Jam City ever figuring it out. 🤬
No fix that I have heard of @fierce escarp. They have no motivation to fix the game as long as people keep spending money on the game.
November 3, 2023 is the last update I could find on the map issue, which basically said we have no clue. 🙈🙉🙊
I guessed they assumed it was gonna work but you know what they say when you assume things.
It's time to change the devs I guess for better
Sad that no one else cares about this
Must not be enough players that play in rural locations. My small town mostly has spawns / boxes / etc. The large city I work in has plenty of spawns but there are a few weird blank spots. In between though? It's 50 miles of nothing with the exception of some small sections of gravel roads that cross my route. The problem with those though is those areas have like 7-10 raid bosses walking around so you can't click on any spawns / boxes / towers that are beneath them.
We have a really large lake in the country, where in the summer we go out and there is house on a mountain (not that high, we just call it mountain, because you need to walk to high for like 10-20 minutes) and there were drops and creatures too before the mapbox. I'm curious if it's still the same or not
@still surge are you going to continue to ghost us?
Mind you this is the main aspect of the game right here
Hey everyone, the team is continuing to work on improving the map. I don't have anything imminent to announce at this moment but will update you as soon as I have information to share.
No green drops again today on the few populated areas on my 28 mile drive to take my daughter to work. 🤬
21 miles on the drive to ACTC. Still no green drops. Do they want us to totally quit @still surge
Finally found some green drops! Only 4 hours driving so far today. 🤬
Seriously what the heck @still surge ? Driving home today and haven't seen a single green drop anywhere over 30+ miles. How does your team continue to fail even worse each day?
The map issues are only getting worse (on top of the blank areas everywhere, we now have no short range spawns and essentially no green supply drops). Think it's time to say goodbye as it's evident y'all just don't care.
Update: after driving the remaining 20 miles of my 50 mile trip, I did see 3 small areas that had a mix of orange and green stops. So, they are out there, but seeing just 3 areas with any green stops over a 50 mile drive (which includes driving through a large city as well as rural areas and on major roads/interstates) is ridiculous. In fact the areas I saw were along the interstate portion of my drive in areas off to the side of the interstate.
I saw nothing on the state route nor on local roads that weren't next to the interstate.
I also have absolutely no green drop boxes anywhere around me- it’s insane that even in the areas that have drop boxes - that weren’t decimated with map box that they can’t even get a reasonable distribution. It’s a good thing I dont care about these commons but I am not happy about lack of the FIPs and coins, etc from it 😡 And there are good event dinos coming up- wonder if I’ll be able to find any the
Can we rename this channel "The Island of Misfit Toys"?
We've just been put in a corner and ignored.
I have absolutely no green boxes in my area or with 2 hours of me cause we left town for a little while and had zero there or back and took 2 different routes I’m losing coins and fip
Yeah.
How would you a spotted elephant?
I love the elephant
Me too.
Oh I realized the mouth is open on my picture. That's even worse.
no event supply drop on my side as well since wednesday @ 15:00 UTC, this has nothing to do with mapbox though, always the same when there are more than 3 strike towers or a coin chase, it is just made worse by the lack of spawn points and drops...
Wonderful! New abilities! Try fixing the map and bugs first.
Cuz this is what is needed when the game is majorly broken... So clueless.
Several people in my alliance (me included) are overloaded with raid bosses today. It’s like a swarm again and a few of my members have DM’d me photos asking if something was going on with the map
I have not seen a boss or anything today.
😎
So my map is still empty and my raid invite hasn’t been working and for mission, I get to do 10 successful apex raids. This normally wouldn’t be a problem but it’s getting ridiculous with all the problems we have with this game
No event drops this week but the scavenger hunt awaits to see who can figure out this mess successfully 😂😩🤦♂️🙄😑🤷♂️🤯🤔🫣
I don't know of anyone who thinks they'll pull this off successfully.
Popcorn? 🍿
I lost another drop so now I'm only down to 1 drop that I can't even click on because of all of the bosses. Great job Ludia!! 👏
Very doubtful they will fix anything right,it's a total mess still today for so many people, instead of fixing things they are making it worse
I guess I'll play less and less and leave the game. Again. For the third time. Maybe forever.
I go play another game where I can see the outcome of my money that I spent
Reason: Capital letters
Everything disappeared at reset. Can't get it to come back
Map wiped clean during the daily reset. Was full, now gone. This seems universal
correct, it did.
Has been for a few weeks
no it's not like that anymore
Map is blank of all creature, sanctuaries, drops, and bosses.
like everything is completely gone after the reset
Maps are completely blank after reset on both accounts in my house. I used to have great maps until a few minutes ago
Reset killed everything here. Like this from all angles, normally populated with stops, creatures, etc.
Seems this issue happens over the weekends. Even the map wants the weekend off.
Welp, as usual, time to close the game and not play
For the first time map is completely blank since reset. Others in our alliance too.
Yes, same in our alliance. Multiple reports of blank maps
I have already reported this to the team to see what they have to say
Blank map for me too
It is been still an issue some in my alliance has not been able to do anything in the game for the last 4 weeks
that is an issue too, yes. But this is something else
This is beyond frustrating. Not only are things not getting better, they are actively getting worse on a routine basis….
Same here. Nothing on the map at all.
My Google maps is broken, can't enter any Goals and travel stops
Nothing on the map today for one of our phones. Not even the event boxes. It’s an android. I have iPhone and have JUST the special event dinosaurs and maps. Nothing else unless we use a scent
Blank map for me too sence the reset... playing on Android
I didn't have much problems even when the new map software messed up everythin for a lot of people, now there's nithing on the map (save for creatjres from scent)
Super impressive fix team. Blank maps for everyone!
Map is empty today....even after shooting a dino. 😕
Got the good old empty map. Relaunched fresh after reset.
@still surge is the team aware yet? Thanks.
The team is aware of the empty map and is investigating! I'll keep you posted as soon as I know more!
Snafu Jam City. Come on.
Their response is exactly why the map issues aren't getting fixed. Everyone pretending empty maps aren't a thing for people 24/7 since the transition to mapbox
I guess this is the same issue that happened a couple of months back, "worst" case they will have to go into maintenance to fix the problem
The person has showed multiple images to us and even videos he is not faking it
I didn't say anyone was faking it
you're not the only one lucky brother
The entire empty map 🫠
Efficient way to force everyone to buy dna from the shop
Want was wrong with google maps why did you switch to map box 😩
I think Ludia has been hit by an asteroid
Oh look a J Dahmer taking things too far. How original
Ain’t no strikes no more
Went from weird spawn density on the outer edges to now literally nothing.
my map is back
Please reload your game and let me know if the map is back!
Mine is
Yep same here, everything is back
Google maps no longer allowed other companies to use their software.
But why what did Lydia do other then neglect the game and only have money in there eyes
They transferred to mapbox, which is having some teething problems. I believe it also destroyed another game like JWA
Soo lucky!! Ludia took away another drop from me so now I only have 1
Ok back to the odd placements from before, so yay progress?
Oh you lucky.
Ok cool temporary black map for all issues fixed- how about the over all issues that have been going on since mapbox transition. How about fixing the blank and decimated map for those whose entire streets were wiped clean of drops during the transition. Anything to update there? @still surge Not mention lack of proximity spawns and broken raid invites still.
Hey everyone,
I’m happy to announce that we are in the final stages of testing a form for players to submit their coordinates and self-report empty map locations. We will have more details on it very soon but this way we can evaluate which locations on the map are empty and work on populating those areas with points of interest.
that's something hopefully helpful at least. thx for the update! 🙂
Awesome thanks!
There's gonna be a lot of self-reporting from me, every route has no POIs lol and even some back roads
This is not true. They change service. I supposed it is mater of price.
Just got back from spinning drops. Seems there were even fewer drops today. Anyone else notice?
I think you need to double check your information
Ludia got an extention to the dates
They had no choice Google was ending its service of them using maps.
@warm otter Google still have the service but it's now costs money, a lot of money and you need to pay for request to the map.
The amount of requests that everyone player will send to map service is insane so i guess the new price model don't works for this game.
Everyone wants more money. Money Money Money. Profits.
Jamcity should have been thinking on this expense before start running a game with money
No drops. No raids. No strike towers. No Dinos. My alliance complains nobody contributes anymore, because we can’t. Since transition to mapbox, if I drive 30 km from home I find some stuff, but all on top of each other, unusable, unless like today, I only want to raid Dreadnoughts boss 😦 Game is just about unplayable since early October.
Yep, no prob here unless you have the problem. Special events, new creatures, new raid bosses, all the fun stuff we’re missing out on for over a month now
Yep. Svan in here carrying water for Jam City trying to pretend map issues are non existent now. Pathetic
Map is a screwed up as it was they didn't fix anything they made it worse they broke Short range spawns on top of that
True they had no choice but they waited last minute to work on the transition and look what it did it's become useless to try and hunt anything
They could of worked on that 18 months in advance but decided to work on it less then a month before
Doing a spin 16 drops. I realize I only have 6 out of that when I could have done it immediately.
This is what mine looks like. Before the Mapbox transition there were roads in my neighborhood and I had access to like two sanctuaries and multiple supply drops and incubator battle events, a lot of them even being green supply drops. Now it looks like I’m in the middle of nowhere and I have access to nothing from my home. There isn’t even any roads or anything. My neighborhood is still under construction because it’s selling lots and all but there were still roads here with plenty of supply drops and incubators. Now there’s nothing. It’s extremely annoying because now I can’t complete my missions as efficiently, although fortunately I am like 3 levels away from completing the pass.
Doesn’t help much either that I live like 10 minutes within the country so I’m like 10-15minutes away from like more rural areas.
I know many have said, they don't believe the range is true to the distance displayed on the map. You have said, it's just a visual thing, but it's definitely not.
For me personally there's 50 meters difference between the in-game map, and reality. Without VIP range, 50 meters is rather a great deal
We have reported it indeed many times but has been discarded without merit by the devs...
Yes, I've seen several mentioning it. But there's clearly evidence that we are right about the issue, and it shouldn't be hard for them to check up on it realizing it's an error on theirs. If it's too difficult to change in the codes or what they do (I know zero knowledge about the technical aspect lol), then it should at least be easy to just widen the range for everyone so we get what we are supposed to, no matter what the distance says wrongfully, at least
I think I'm actually going to get this pass done. I can't believe it.
So. Now it has been several weeks and my map is still not as it used to be. I usually could reach 14-15 stops from my home and now its 6-7.
This does it very hard to gather the required darts that i need to dart the creatures I need. I am a VIP member but will stop my membership when it goes out in December as you guys suck in fixing the problem. Just a lot of promises that things will be as they used to be, which never happens.
Its 100% clear to me that you have NO clue about what it takes to keep your customers. Soon the only ones that will be left are the big sharks and they will leave as well when they realize that they have nothing to feed on.
Nothing besides bosses,no supply drops or event drops/battles
They clearly don't care, game will be dead within the next year...
True
Got my pass done yesterday thank god.
Sure wish they'd fix this the right way instead of what a mistake they have made it,really really sucks badly.
They keep saying their working hard in fixing it but nothing changes, and trying to compensate for their what we are missing out on truly not happening. 😥😕
Got my pass done.
got 0 special event drop since yesterday reset at 15:00 UTC and won't be able to finish darting scorp, not per se a mapbox transition issue as it was quite recurrent before but it is made worse by the poor amount of drop and spawn points with the new map provider...
it is pretty simple we need 1/3 of drops being event supply drops and 2/3 of drops being supply drops
when there is a coin chase make it 25% coin box, 25% event supply drop and 50% supply drop
that way it should be playable on average for all players
i can send links to the devs if need be on how to generate a uniform distribution, it should be in pretty much a beginner's course in CS...
They aren't going to fix this. You have to accept the new normal or stop playing
Unfortunately you are probably right.
Yeah.
Please fix this issue and the raid invite issues!!! I have good players that want to stop playing because they can't get anything done!
Short of going back to Google, theres nothing for them to do. It's what was always going to be a problem with the switch to Mapbox, same thing happened to TWD Our World...
Then that game shut down.....I hope this isn't going in that direction.
Honestly, Jamcity would deserve that...
They ruining our game, our mood, our progress
The game won’t shut down. Players without good maps will quit, but new, younger players are joining and spending money on Omegas. That’s all they care about
New players won't play a broken game with no map as you wouldn't want to drive a car with no wheels
And even if they start the game, they won't stay for long because they'll see the problems and the reviews
@still surge When is this soo called form going to be issued?
I'm guessing it will be with the next update, witch should drop any hour now
But many of us have a decent map
Yeah, I have too and still stopped playing, because what Jamcity do is just a big 💩show
Still, everyone has a map that short range spawns aren't spawning in. NO short range spawns have been reported lol. The only ones that show up on your tracker will trigger the Apatausorus glitch if you tap on it and force a restart
And every route alone has no POI
Yep- and on top of that they just announced a T-met hybrid and we can’t dart rexy because no short range spawns.
Truly wild. Great point.
Empty again
My game traveled through the river and then a big hill, and then a train station, now my in-game coordinations are 20 meters away from my current location 😂
Don’t worry they’re putting out new dinos to make you forget that you can’t even get those new dinos because the maps suck and either have just a few to zero drops
But yaaaay new stuff
I just don’t get it. This has really ruined an important growth aspect of the game. It’s been weeks upon weeks. Was once my favorite game
"Screw you peasants who live in an area where spawns and boxes were taken away. The game isn't for you anymore"
I've seen a rexy and 2 stegouros
Admittedly it's been like 2 weeks since I saw the rexy, but 🤷♂️
It wouldn't surprise me if they just blow it off and forget anyone who doesn't have a decent map if they can't fix it easily (sadly)
I came to this game from pokemon go due to not being able to access things since I don’t live in a large city with tons of POI. It was made easier due to changes they put in place during covid but then they reverted those changes. Even those a lot of disabled and small town people left that game Niantic didn’t care because they still make money from the people who live in populated areas and have good maps. When I came here I loved that this game there were tons of strike towers and spawns accessible until the mapbox transition 😢 I feel that Jam City/Ludia will be the same- sweeping it under the rug as long as it isn’t affecting the majority.
I am one of those rural players that also came to this game from Pokémon Go for the same reason. Pokémon Go swept all rural and disabled players under the rug and completely ignored our outcries. I check back in on the game sometimes and I see that it is filled with plenty of new players that are willing to spend money on their “research” that they now sell much more frequently in the shop. They have found ways to advertise and cater to these players. I believe the same will happen in JWA if they can’t fix the map issues.
0 event supply drops again after reset today (15:00 UTC)... Come on Jamdia pull your poopoo together.
7.5k coins lost, 6/6/6 boosts, 2 food and 2 toys lost
plus all the attemps on the rare creatures
Same- and it’s snowing here so definitely not going out on any epic rides (normally I’d have my husband drive around and I ride as passenger) to try to find them and risk an accident. Disappointing.
I went to my mother n laws house for thanksgiving. Going to her go use was a honey hole of supply drops. Like you couldn’t even spin them all there were so many. After the transition, not 1. Well sorry 1 in a cluster of raid bosses.
Sounding like a broken record but another day another issue. No event supply drop for epic creatures...
I didn’t get any of my legendary attempts. I had all unique.
Oh epics are out today? All I’ve seen is omega. 😑
@still surge you guys have any progress or should those of us affected by the map issue just give up at this point? Be honest with us, please.
We've already stopped spending money and have been MORE than patient with your company. Yet, all we see is no progress and more issues on top of more issues (no short range spawns, continued poor distribution issues of all different kinds even if we can find supply drops, etc.)
But but but new Dino’s tomorrow!!!!
Didn’t get any legendary either yesterday and also haven’t seen anything other than omega today
I finally found a few epic but not many. Definitely way more omega.
and not darting the omegas until after update... since more dna per dart after update.
I messed up and darted 2 before I remembered 🤦🏼♀️
That's brave. Pretty sure you won't see an event supply drop for omega creatures after the reset today.
I live in Vegas. This is the gamble im making today, lol
Still a massive over spawn and the omega drop there is unable to be reached because of the carno boss.
Also, the rural roads are broken. nothing spawns on them for the most part, then if they do spawn its clumped up like my side road above.
Is it me or is the drone range now properly 200m? Has it been fixed without letting us know?
I have correct radius now. It was incorrect for 2 months
Same. I wasn't sure if it was only me.
It would've been nice if they fixed the map issue but nope. Let's just release some more new creatures that some of us won't even see. Thanks Ludia 👏🏻
pretty sure they are done with map "fixes" so those short range dinos are now exclusive to the short range shop
new omega locked up as exclusive since short range doesn't work. rexy can't be darted even though component of new dino - which is the only way to get the dna, since we can't FIP it. i hate ludia for this...
@still surge Where is this so called form??
Almost ready to go! I'll post it here when it's all set up!
@still surge can we get an update on the state of the map?
And while we are at it the absent short range spawns
esp with the new "short range" omega...
unsuprising that matti went radio silent
They will never do anything about the map because theres nothing to do short of going back to Google and they don't believe there's an issue with short-range, we're SOL...
maybe we need to flood their CS tickets with it to get it taken care of... since they seem to be blowing this off despite being told about it
Just one step closer to deleting my account, only on now to do my takedowns for the alliance but not much more...
The complete lack of urgency displayed by “support” is upsetting and troublesome.
The game is still somewhat playable and I don’t want to get rid of it because I’ve made so much progress in this game. But the map stuff is super annoying. Went from my neighborhood (which is actually still under construction and selling homes) having many supply drops and spawns within my reach to absolutely nothing. It’s really disheartening that Ludia seems to be sweeping a lot of this under the rug and it’s going to affect the player base a lot.
I mean I'm out for work traveling a lot so I still have access to a lot but when I'm home there is literally nothing around for miles, so for a game built for walking around it's pretty ridiculous
They screwed the pooch on this update.
Yeah. It sucks for me cause I don’t go out much and before the map transition I was able to play the game and completing my passes and all without leaving my house. I’m lucky I got the last two passes done since this change thanks to the update where you can join any alliance.
Blank map here since the switch to Mapbox. 7 weeks ago? Been so long I’m losing track of the weeks. 🤬
Jesus has it really been that long?
After all the previous issues compounded with the astronomical issues with this update I am strongly considering leaving the game at the end of the season. It just is broke beyond repair and isn’t fun at all.
Nothing to dart here neither
I really feel bad for people who have been experiencing this issue I have never had the problem at all but people I am friends with have been having this issue for several weeks I wish there could be a faster way to fix this problem hundreds upon thousands of people have left because of how ridiculous the game has become genuinely wish they could just do something about it
This is pathetic..... Pathetic that they can't manage this problem. It's pathetic that with every update we get new, annoying bug making the game unenjoyable
No changes
No changes with me either.
Why can’t they fix the stuff that’s broken instead of adding more garbage
Because people keep spending money on a broken game, so what's their incentive to fix anything instead of shoving more palette swaps down our throats?
Real
They can fix it. If 1 area of the map can be populated, the entire map can be populated. Either they won’t spend the money needed to fix the map or won’t hire the people needed to fix the map. Just my opinion.
I’m surprised they were that generous lol
Lol.
Hey @here, here is the link to the form for point submissions. Please read the FAQ beforehand, and then the link to the form itself is at the bottom of the FAQ. https://jamcity.helpshift.com/hc/en/67-jurassic-world-alive-maps/faq/8299-map-event-distribution---reporting-empty-maps-missing-points-and-modifying-points/
With the technical migration of our map provider from Google Maps to Mapbox, we understand that the map event distribution for some players

Hey thanks for this. This seems to be specific to an address. Are we able to do something like between point A and point B for routes that we travel to work and stuff?
So for now, the best way to do that would be to get a couple addresses from along your route to work and then get the long/lat for them and then submit them separately. It's kinda time consuming but that's the only way at the moment.
Thanks. Any idea how much area would populate per address? Just trying to determine how many points would need to be submitted per mile.
@still surge, this is what we have been waiting months for? This is ridiculous. Requesting your users to each supply hundreds of inputs of addresses and lat/lon coordinates to populate the map along routes is absolutely ridiculous and hugely time consuming (especially since this game already collects that data from the users!). This is going to do nothing and be yet another continuing example of Ludia's clusterf.
We are real people with real lives. Use the computing tools in your hands to automate this process. This is simply nuts to try to do this manually.
I also see that there is no mention of when any of those provided inputs would result in any measurable improvement for the player who took the time to do it nor any guarantee that there would be any. Performing this task on faith ain't gonna happen.
I'll check in on that and keep you posted Phil!
Reason for Request-No points at this location-Describe your problem here... That's equivalent to taking a picture of your empty hand when Amazon wants proof a package wasn't delivered...
I received this in my email after submitting a second coordinate.
@still surge you did suggest to post multiple which I shared with my server members!
use a fake email to send more coordinates?
Did anyone else receive this message after submitting a second form?
yes
Ok I'm looking into this! I'll keep you posted
wth, I tried submitting one with my alternate email and I got an email back stating I've reached the number of open conversations. I've never used that email for anything JWA related until just now
Is there a form that does not require you to give out personal informations?
We will require the city/state/country and long/lat of the area that you would like to submit points for. You do not have to submit your name or address however.
Ok I was mistaken, you will only be able to submit one form at a time. We have to validate each submission and we limit it to one at a time to prevent spam. My apologies for indicating differently. You should be notified when you will be able to make another submission.
I used a new email for a dif location but used my name and I got an email saying I reached the limit
So no response?
Ping him
That’s rough man. I have a nice little drive home and waiting for each one to validate isn’t very convenient. Can’t we just give a support key and a timeframe to track our gps and map that road?
During a specific timeframe.
It would maybe help if we could send a view from above showing all the spinning stuff, and then select the areas that stuff are wrong with, but that would probably be too much work for you guys
Submitted mine. Looked up the latitude and longitude without having to enter a credit card. I’ve created maps since 1985. A better way should have been provided for the people that don’t know how to find the latitude and longitude at their location.
Once before I wrote ludia about my park not being a park. I gave longitude and latitude and sent the official website and google maps pic and stuff. Never turned to a park in game 😂🤦♂️
I live in the countryside about 10-15 minutes away from society and even before the transition there were a lot of supply drops and incubators. Didn’t even have to leave my house. Now there’s nothing 🫠
#relatable
After this week’s update, one of my alliance members got a full map of towers. Another member lost every tower in their circle
Oh no
Since the update I very rarely get any raid bosses in range. The raids for the most part are stale and boring with DNA hardly anyone needs anymore, but some of us still try to do them for battles and incubators for Alliance missions. Not having any bosses in range is yet another thing that makes this game harder and harder to enjoy playing.
Since the update I am not getting raid bosses and the one drop on my street (that is actually someone’s driveway) is no longer reachable- so my circle shrunk.
my circle shrunk as well... i think it was bigger than 200 when the update happened and all the VIP were talking about theirs being smaller, i'm not VIP and mine seemed bigger, so i just kept quiet. now i sad... lol
strange mine was smaller than 200 metres and is now exactly 200 metres in real life, i imagine it has probably something to do with your coordinates and retranslating the 200 metres on a flat surface, i mean for a 200 metres radius, the discrepancy should not have been visible but they probably messed it up then
a ghost town 😂 pretty much
I have to say even thought it has been said but thank you so much for fixing the map🙄
Once again 0 event supply drop for the rare creatures after reset today. I guess I will stay at 8/24 attempts...
I haven’t had any rare event supply drops either day 😢 Just omegas.
I had only 1 yesterday on the whole map, that's why I managed to make it 8/24.
Because this is so fair and totally not the biggest issue with your main aspect of the game and the biggest issue in this game 😍😍😍😍😍😍
🥱
Nice! Keep up the great work Jamcity!

That's my typical map on routes and back roads especially btw
These poor raids have nowhere to go... Gee I wonder why...
This and short range spawns issues and people are up in arms about the perfectly fine skoonametradon design. Hahaha
5 years later, when my 1 location I could report at a time on the form gets looked at
Hello, I see that this map has very few attack towers and fewer dinosaurs, making it very difficult for us to hunt and raid. Please report to the developer to improve the map for us. The game just got better thanks
I think we all gave up.
We kind of lost faith in having them fix this train wreck of a map
The fact is they're sweeping it under the rug,pretending that it's not as big of a problem as it really is
That's the placebo that gets us to think they are actually doing something...
Was there even a broad announcement? A post on their website? How many responses do you think they’ve actually received? Frustrating as always.
They tweeted it out Nov 30th
Thanks!
it was also posted here...
For those of you who were successful in sending the ticket, did anyone receive any response or change in their map?
Nope
Nope.
Wonderful. It's not enough they can't do it, but even with OUR help they can't do anything. This is just wonderful. Why are they still running this game? Why can't they just stop and give it for a corp who CAN run games and writing the codes right?
Yeah
No not yet
Poor raids have nowhere to go pt2
As expected
Self-reporting has been absolutely useless especially for one whole location out of so many you won't get any drops or spawns in
I'm not playing very much.
i see a slight improvement here in terms of number of POIs, no short range one though
Looks like work may have gotten more but not the main road that was flooded before the transition. But I haven’t left work to see anything.
What was this update supposed to do anyway?
Fix some stuff, break other things
What did they break or supposedly fix? I havent seen any difference after the maintenance
Have some supply drops for the first time since the transition. Only about half of what I had before but an improvement.
My map is getting emptier with each update. The jump from last update was painful, I was hoping they fix it today but it got ever worser... Glad all the Stego and the snowflakes filling up the emptiness a bit 🤣😢
My map actually got better. My ride home from work which before the transition was a gold mine, then barren wasteland, now has some supply drops. Not its former glory but it’s better. I also went to Lowe’s and it was dead with nothing and now has some supply dries. Not that I live at Lowe’s but it’s an improvement. @still surge
No improvements for me yet.
My map is massively improved since today’s update, thank you!!
That's my neighbor's driveway
The last picture is neighbors driveway /:
I understand that not everyone saw improvements with yesterday's technical update but I'm super encouraged to see a number of you have seen an increase of points around you. Thank you for your feedback and patience on this. The team will continue to work hard on improving point distribution for everyone! I'll keep you posted with information as soon as I have more to share!
You do a great job Mattiodon, but I'm afraid that this will be another 2 months for players whose map ain't fixed
@still surge I also want to note that I did see a marked improvement by my home (the location I reported in the form) as well as in general on my local area. It's still not as good as before (have about half the supply drops within the circle that I had before), but much better than the empty desert I had before.
Haven't been able to see if I actually get spawns while on the road or not but when I do, I'm definitely gonna post it here 👾
After yesterday’s update, still nothing spawning on roads for me. No hits on my tracker but hey they are out there, right? 🤷
At least most people are seeing improvements. Hopefully I’ll start seeing them soon too.
Doesn't give me much hope lmao ^
Oh, wow! Before the "maintenance" I had at least 3 green drops and two raids. Now I have one raid and a green drop that I reach rarely. Great job Jamcity! Keep up the great work! 💩💩💩
I had a dramatically improved number of stops by my house after 2 months of zero. It's better than it was before. Don't screw it up again.
Update: I have some spawns now... On only 1 of the routes
And even then, only parts of it
Here's just 1 picture of like 30+ I took. Road on the left is quite the back road, road on the right, which I stayed on, (a route which coincides with the location I reported) = ghost town
Yeah.
Most of my area is still blank. Nothing in sight of my house, which is where I’m at most of the time. Wish is they would spend some money or hire people that could fix this mess.
My map hasn’t been fixed yet.
This route still has nothing on it either
Anyone else having disconnected from gps issues ?
Oh look a double Dino I don't have. I could unlock it hopefully if it wasn't for the bosses!🤬😡
this isn't a mapbox issue per se, it has only been there since raids were released in the game, so version 2.0 if i remember correctly
I think so.
still waiting for an ETA for the fix...
Post always seems to block everything within its walking range. That’s something they haven’t fixed for years……….
Not to mention been reported for years.
Very much so
carno and megalosuchus are also really good at doing that
spawns when
oh the blacked out things have been happening for me for awhile... but it didn't actually affect game play much so i was way less worried about it.
Gotta buy things in the shop to keep the lights on….or restart 9x.
I just call that their new “dark mode”
Pfff🤣
Bundling omegas with rares is a horrible design choice.
Especially when 90% of the 2 total supply drops you see while on the same roads I've mentioned 500 times are full of omegas
i don't know why my previous comment was deleted but deleting our feedbacks won't solve the issues...
addressing the issues we are relaying is much more constructive
different rarities on the same day for special events have been complained about hundreds of times, nobody likes it, nobody asked for it unless the mechanism is fixed and a special event drop can spawn any rarity but that is not the case at the moment
this issue is made worse by the mapbox transition where many are still affected by fewer supply drops and hence can't complete the special events because they are unable to find a rarity or another
instead of new omega creatures or creature markers that are useless, it would be much better for all involved to see QoL improvements
I found 2 Rares
I’m on my third day of zero raid bosses in my area and don’t get me started on the total lack of marsupial lions this week. Bad enough you put them on Christmas Day when most people are a little busy but you mixed them in with a load of chickens that no one wants making them hard to find. Merry Christmas to you too 😏
of course, no event supply drops in sight for the legendary creatures, i guess i won't dart rexy at all for another month...
My map was decent for about 2 weeks but woke up this morning to an empty map, zero spawns. Wth, can you do anything right?
Do we know if they stopped fixing the map and considering it fixed.
It has been better just not where I live?
No changes where I live and I partook in the forum.
Very disappointing. Was hoping to get it fixed by Christmas.
Still believing in Father Christmas I see...
Support is basically saying, don’t contact us. We can’t fix the problem? @still surge
i haven't gotten that yet with my routine message about broken proximity spawns...
but now i'm waiting for the "don't call us, we'll call you" response... lol
I send once per week.
Add spawns on routes and back roads when (The location I reported has a whole 1 drop total in range of VIP only since the last update)
Jam City has proved to me that they don’t care. Nowhere close to enough effort is made on fixing the major bugs since they took over.
I have had a blank map at my house since the day Jam City switched to Mapbox. Missing buildings on my farm. When I’m out driving around to be able to play, there are roads that never have been there that shows buildings that aren’t there and are populated. Makes no sense that the entire map can’t be populated. If things that don’t exist can be populated, why can’t things that do exist be populated? Zero answers provided in 12 weeks. I’ve created maps since 1985. Something is being overlooked in this mess.
Today as usual no event supply drops for omega creatures in my town. Only event supply drops for unique creatures, I don't know how I am going to do my 1 attempt...
Forgot I haven't seen a single treasure chase. I guess it is my bad luck...
I have about 35 supply drops in my precise/non precise location. 1 coin box.
Yeah, chests were sparse today...
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the game just shut down. I give this game 1 year, they won't change for nothing
Actually I think players should sue them, because they not give us what they promised. They said we gonna get common and rare creatures last year, they said this and this bug will be fixed (players are waiting), they promised us they will improve the map so players can play smoothly. I don't see that any of these would happened. This is high level of scamming, makes promises that the game will be better, just give some money. Disgusting...
Spawns when
Still no added supply drops to my empty street despite filling out the form they put out; and still no short range spawns
Same here
I stopped playing. I log in so I don't leave my Allience.
I stopped too, ain't playing for a month now, my team gets it, a few too left the game too for good reason
let's see what this will be
Hmmmm
i think i already know, but obv can't say here
This is actually cool I like what they are doing
It just goes to show what the community has suspected for a while now, Ludia doesn't have the manpower or "know-how" to actually fix the map. Props to them though for thinking outside the box and designing something like this. Should help quite a few people!
Thank god for this. This should actually help since my area still isn’t fixed.
What if this won't work too and you can't find creatures, because they won't spawn? 😂
I was never affected by the area issue I actually benefited from it I got almost double the stops went 12 to 23 but yeah it could still be a problem if it won’t work mainly for the people who were affected by the issue
My map was only a bit worse, when I went to work or going home, the bus rides were really boring, because on the mainroads were barely anything, even raids
My neighborhood went from having a great amount of supply drops and incubator battle events to everything being jumbled in the front of the neighborhood whereas me (who lives in the back of the neighborhood) has absolutely nothing.
They haven’t came through with a fix or improvements on anything in my area. Why should I believe they can pull off the no GPS area that will transport us to the wonderful area they describe? No faith at all in anything that Jam City tells us they are going to do. I will be told that the game team is working hard to resolve the issues if I contact Jam City Support. Wait, I was told to quit contacting Jam City Support once per week.
Unless I overlooked it, there is no date provided for when the no GPS mode will be implemented. Another empty post to get our hopes up?
It's going to be in patch 3.4, which should have notes releasing tomorrow
We will see.
It's interesting. I'd love to see what that area has in store.
Yeah I 100% agree, this looks really good. But we'll have to see on the update day
If they can do this maybe they can add an aquatic area.
Still pile ups.
It's a bit better, but not as many dinos as once were.
I guess ur excited for the update now lol
Another legendary event with pb as a possibility and no event supply drop in town for the legendary creatures. I only saw the stupid omega. The joke is really getting old. @honest pikeia
I don't have much hope for the update.
All I saw were omega everywhere. I drove a good distance too. I ended up finding 1 legendary Sunday and then I found one pulling into work. So I missed one and didn’t get the one I wanted this morning.
Lucky you. It is the second or third time I end up missing out on pb because of these stupid events with several rarities that are bugged af.
I’m so sick of multiple rarity events. I don’t know why they don’t use my suggestion and once one is completed all change to the other.
that's such a wonderful dream...
Or they should give us like 2 scents that is 2-3 hours long which give only event creatures every 2 minutes, so even those have a chance whose map is empty
It would be Pokémon GO like, but better than sitting on the empty map with no drops
hopefully the new mode with help
Hope so, if they won't mess it up, I don't really trust them. Even the easiest things can be ruined, like the flying reptiles flying animation
never trust them... you're disappointed less that way.
I know, the last two years were only dissapointment, I did not play the game about a month and a week ago a deleted it, it's not worth it
i've never liked pvp, so all those issues didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. so my longevity is pretty good...
I liked the fights, because then I saw why I level up my creatures, why I collect them, but they could improve the fight for now with duo or squad battles where you have to use all your four creatures until all of them die or until you kill all the 4 enemy creatures or something like that
There are so many opinions, but they chose the way where they just take the money for nothing
I would improve the AR too, it's so buggy and not working normally, I bet they forgot that the game has this ability
And they are just so dumb, they don't take the opportunity with the skins, I mean if I would be hungry for the money I would just make more and more skins, throw out to the store so people would buy them, same with the emotes, but no, Jamcity can't think like that
i'm just a collector and i only level and boost for raids, because i enjoy them. i prefer cooperative gameplay over competitive. the only person i enjoy competing against is myself and my previous bests...
Yeah, being collector is easier in this game than pvp player, the fight kills you, you going mad, not because you get an enemy with boosted lvl 30 apexes, but because of the bugs
yeah, i was in aviary for 2 years, now i'm in library, but i don't think i'll ever make it to gyro, and i'm fine with that...
Same, if you won't sell your soul, you won't get higher trophies
It's so sad where this game got from the beginning
At least 5 years ago it was really about dinosaurs fighting eachother, even the devs cared about us
Now it only matters who pays more
i'm f2p, and this is pretty much how i've played since i started, some flexibility with things added, but pvp and tourney dinos were NEVER something i considered.
My goals:
1 - have all dinos unlocked.
2 - have all dinos need for raids to spec, except the unicorn ones only needed for 1 raid).
3 - have enough unique dna to level to 29 (I don't level them, because coins, but to be ready if they ever become raid viable)
4 - have enough fusible apex dna to take to L30
5 - my special projects (like my L29 irritator, might look into the fuku family)
6 - I might look into tourney dinos, eventually, maybe, it COULD happen, but i wouldn't bet on it
Yeah it's not impossible, but a long way journey
I'm a collector too.
Why level 29 and not 30?
Hey everyone! Have you had a chance to try the new GPS-less feature yet?
I have, it's really really good imo
there could maybe be some small improvements, like that u should be able to collect coin chases and sancs in this feature, because what if you don't have any around your actual gps, but yeah overall it's amazing
because that way when there are darting events i don't feel like its a waste as much. and this was back when uniques for AC rewards were a thing, so there was that. this was all pre-enhancement as well, but i don't really do enhancements, but now i'm less annoyed when i have to dart something i don't need the dna for, lol
Oh ok that’s valid
Game is still under maintenance for me.
some people i know used this link to get the update... https://jurassicworldalive.com/
I like it. It’s extra supply drops to spin, possible towers not at work or home, and hopefully a different zone than work or home to have a chance at other creatures.
I also noticed it was a nice a smooth transition back to my gps location with no spinning purple circle etc.
Nice feature.
Only downfall is that the short range weren’t included to be there since they aren’t anywhere else except the store.
it's good for me. luckily it's a diff zone for me...
Aww- I hadn’t realized that coin chases wouldn’t be available there 😦
they won't be??? that seems weird since it's a real neighborhood
they will be there, but you sadly can't collect them
that's just mean.
That’s just rude
What? There will be coin boxes during the chase but you can’t collect? Is that what you’re saying? If so, why even waste a supply drop spot on something we can’t utilize?
i mean, that's what i saw here atleast https://jurassicworldalive.com/news/gps-less-play/
Would only make sense. That’s the competence we get from the company anymore.
and THERE is the disappoinment we look for in new modes and updates...
I guess I was just hoping that was a picture explanation of what it looks like when something is outside of the range
i read it the same way as if you saw it but outside the circle... darnit
There should be at least 1 supply drop directly on the player for maximum coins.
I agree, there should be @hazy lichen It was more than the game team could handle.
Started on month 4 of the game team trying to fix the issues. Small bandage on a huge wound is useless.
What did they except, but seriously? If they bring us a feature like this, players will be happy again? This GPS-less thing has no sense!
How many days to get a response?
Sadly yeah. This is the best they can do.... I don't know what did they think
Discussing gps less area and what it could have been here...
No raid bosses. No green drops. The no GPS area is a bust. Just like everything Jam City does with the game.
Blank map at the house. Blank map when I turn precise off. I’m 60. I don’t have that many years left for Jam City to try to figure out how to fix the game.
At the end we won't have any raid if they touch it again 😂
I’d be fine with that. I hate raids.
It wouldn't bother me too, because I'm not playing
Raids cluster because they have nowhere else to go, the fix to this is the same fix that lets us have points of interest on routes and back roads again
I’m 58, 👵 good to see you! They fixed my map after me sending my coordinates, did you do that? Do it again if yes. Happy hunting! 🤗
I sent them the coordinates. Still nothing here.
Can’t remember. Where do I send in the coordinates again?
in the pinned post
Spawns on routes and back roads when
#playtestyourgame
They don’t understand why we are fed up with the effort made by Jam City.
Maybe they should explore their game. I don’t think but maybe a few of them actually play the game and it’s likely not enough to notice anything is broken or missing.
I showed support a video of a campaign where the AI was faster than me and also didn’t have a turn. I went twice in a row. They told me that it was working properly. 😂🤷♂️🤦♂️ I give up 🤣🤣🤣
My alliance knows the pathetic effort made to fix the game.
last night i lost 2 supply drops on my map and it seems i lost some as well on the gps less map
all of them and the points of interest have been moved around
not for the better of course
Probably the first Monday of the month zone shift but should change drops. I hate when drops change
are the nests still broken? or more exactly has anyone seen them working properly? i used to have 3-6 gorgosaurus every day and that is no longer the case
it used to spawn at a bakery nearby which was considered as a restaurant spawn when Google Maps was still in use
I dont think they've ever been broken? Maybe in the first week or two of the map change things were really off? I still get regular nest spawns where I'm at in the Midwest U.S. I havent noticed a real difference tho.
Also, are you 100% sure gorgo is still a restaurant spawn? They may have changed that without notifying us? I know its a Thursday spawn for sure. Could be any number of things honestly.
Same story with trex. Gorgosaurus is just more frequent. They might have changed both.
actually, now that you mention it, i haven't seen a dodo when i'm near a park in forever...
Thats really weird. I live near a park and am constantly getting doedicurus and deinotherium spawns.
Maybe my park is no longer coded as a park....
That definitely could be a thing. 😢
Still looks like a park... but who knows
exactly...
Gotten better. May get back into the game.
Route/back road POI issue continues
#POIsWhen
They don’t care. The only thing fixed quickly was the almost 1,700$ usd offer in the store over the weekend for $50. That’s the fastest fix we’ve seen since the game was created and it was up for a while itself. Thanks for the Palm Sunday gift team ✌️🤑
Maybe Jamcity would do something if all the players just delete the game, but then probably it would be too late. Players doesn't trust in Jamcity anymore, I can see that. Whatever they do it's just not good enough
sadly, it was gone before i could partake... and i don't spend money on the game. but THAT i would have bought both.
Realized how close they were together.
I don’t either but I couldn’t pass that deal up
i was tempted but resisted and held on my principle to stay 100% f2p but i don't blame those that took advantage
At first I said no, then did the math and realized it was an insane deal. It felt good to spend knowing it was a jab at them.
well, that's 100 they will never get from me... lol
I only bought it once. 250k cash is a lot I probably won’t get to spend before quitting 🤣
i would use the coin to level up the things i'm at cap for is all, lol
well, yeah, i'd wait for coin sales and use the cash for that, and then use that coin to level up things that i have at dna cap...
I need a massive coin sale. 10 of my omegas are capped on dna
the visual cap or the actual cap?
Actual cap
#POIsWhen
Dude I didn't even see any legendaries on the map. I had go put of real map to see them.
Blackout problem.
There weren’t any event spins in my circle and no legendaries in my town
That’s not my issue. There are 0 event spins in my circle and 0 legendary in my town
You are confusing the coin boxes with the event spins. I tap those. But afterwards, my town looked like this
Same.
I am fully aware of how these work. I click these boxes every 5 hours. I've been playing this game (and leading an alliance) for a long time. Maybe you aren't aware that some smaller towns just don't get well distributed spawn points. For example, I am one of the unlucky who still don't have close-range spawns. But that is another issue entirely
day 64 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"
My home street is still void of supply drops (despite submitting the GPS location via previous instructions) and no short range dinos - even common amphi; when I travel around my town and neighboring towns despite their being supply drops
why oh why do the POIs have to move? just lost 2-3 supply drops at home...
still no short range spawn in sight of course...
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, clearly I'm tracking a Yutyrannus here but I have no idea what that thing is lol. I assume its a placeholder for bugs?
i have reported this and it's a known issue (Ever since last update), this appears when a creature on the creature tracker actually isn't there, and if you click on it, that comes up and you're forced to restart
ah alright, thank you
I think you might be able to hit the back button on your phone to get out of it...
day 67 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"
I always see your name as Terminal Life for whatever reason. 🤷♂️
day 72 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"
I feel your pain.
I have since the transition 🫠
working as intended i guess
Guess it has dodge up
It’s cloaked
Oh, c'mon they working so hard, at least the tracker shows that it should be there 😂
“Thanks for understanding”
day 76 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"
Anyone told you to "hunt more" yet? 🤣
if only that was the issue, but there is no point to be out for hours if there are no spawn points...
So crowded today.
Note all of these spawed from ONE SPOT when the game loaded. It was nuts.
We are happy to know that the content on your map has improved drastically, we continue working so that all players have the same gaming experience!
My main road that I travel on to work and back home has barely any raids on it, I only see them farther where no cars travel most of the time
At work and home I have only two raids or even less, zero. Before Mapbox I had 2-3 raids all the time, at least 2 kind of rarity
I don't know what is so hard to fix this, I thought they are developers and know their things, or they just don't really care
The main road where I am and the place where cars barely travelling
No. My map is shell of its former self.
It's been a while players shows what is wrong and what would be good on the map. And they still don't know which is which.
let's see how this turns out
Maybe then I'll have a map all the times not just when the game thinks
Restart and don't click on anything.
Sometimes do this several time, so I let it be, then starts the game later if I don't have the mood to fight or something
Hopefully the problems with the blank spots and the scarcity of POIs ON routes and back roads (they have to coincide with some other roads or driveways at the moment) will be at least somewhat diminished with the change we're being informed about.
Without spawns on routes or back roads, imagine trying to even get short range ones
The location I reported a while ago still has only 1 drop/spawn in range of VIP, basically almost on the edge...
Oh lord- I fear it will only get worse 😭
Same.
we'll just have to wait and see
my map is fine tho, i hope i don't go from a good map to a really bad one
Yeah, I have the best map for spawns & stops ive ever had... I have zero expectation that it will stay this good after the new fix, but hopefully it will fix the issues most seem to be having...
Do you know when this is supposed to take place?
Lucky
Since mapbox, where you travel and reside is RNG in this game in terms of POI distribution attention to detail
As if there wasn't enough of it
Next update (probably next tuesday)
day 84 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"
watch it get fixed in the next update
because of this
we'll have to see
but it will most likely get worse for people with a lot of pois yes,
i mean, i don't know, i was just predicting
🗿
Some android players of my alliance have nothig but raid bosses on ther maps and NO ONE has the short-range dinosaurs. Big issues.
As of today every single supply drop on my street and the neighboring streets disappeared 😡
Just a few in the distance very far away
Same as many others. No dinosaurs, supply drops, or sanctuaries.
Seriously what is going on here? @final cape any word?
Huge issues. I don’t even have bosses- just vast emptiness. HOW do they manage to make things worse every single time?!? 😩😡
Let me check mine.
Ok seriously?
I just checked my sanctuary
And you do this?
Yeah. It didn't load.
It's been around a week now and I still have an empty map. I've lost ALL supply drops, dinosaurs, raids and my sanctuaries. 😭
Hey there, there was an issue starting on Friday where some players were unable to see any events or creatures on their map. This was not related to the lack of Mapbox POIs issue. The issue should be fixed now, but please let us know if it hasn't been!
Oh there are way more stops for me
i have sensibly the same amount of drops as before so no catastrophe on my side
plus this
however it is somewhere that is inaccessible
Still some work.
there is a problem with the notifications red have become green and green have become red
Huh, what do you mean 🧐
if you see my collection 99+ should be in green and on the alliance sheet it should be mostly in red as this is stuff i have not collected
like alliance missions or ac reward
Hey there, I have forwarded this to the team and they are investigating this bug! Thanks!
Same...
Hello.
There are no legendary or unique spawn around me.
The areas that had no POIs on routes/back roads I mentioned before the update still don't
Guess I need to start whipping out screenshots again atp
Spins not found
Looks good to me, not perfect but good
Empty map since October 2023.
Like seriously empty, even the buildings are gone now, including my house. Weird thing is my husband’s game is completely empty of game features also but still shows the buildings
We’ve been surviving on the fixed map in Rio, but now that the Raid invites don’t work anymore so we can’t raid together or with our alliance, my partner is losing interest in the game, and so am I. 😦
Only a week? I lost everything last October. Sent my GPS coordinates and everything, still have an empty map.
I see you relate to my issue in a way
Most routes and back roads around here rely on some roads next to them for spawns or drops. The rest, supposed to be ON them? none.
Kinda backwards if you think about it; raids still cluster in a group for this reason.
Oh yeah.
Have no legendary or unique around me.
Do we still have the tracking page to give them coordinates where it’s complete ghost town and roads?
should be in the pinned post
Cool im going to add some more miles I noticed that are literally running through a city.
A location I reported back quite a few months ago (a residence) still has 1 drop in range of VIP only. Most of the route itself is complete nothingness.
This goes for a lot of other routes and back roads as well.
Ahh yes I reported my empty road as well but nothing got added
Just 1? Not most of the ones you travel on? Lol
Oh my gosh, Dino traffic 🫣
Just came back after being gone for several months. I still only have a little bit of stuff on the map. It's still nothing like it was before crapbox. Very few event spawns, only 2 coin chest spawns nearby yesterday and no raid bosses
Ok, this is pretty damn cool. A Paleo accurate spino, hell yes. I wish Ark would do that
Sadly the white color is a skin, you get it in a brownish, green shaded version which is not bad, but I like the white more
Have you checked out the DPG? It doesn’t fix our current empty maps but does make it a little less painful.
Is that in game or here in the discord server?
I like the paint job for the pnso spino figurine named essien. I have this figurine myself and it looks really good up close in person. The sculpt is beautiful with nice sharp crisp teeth
Go to gps free map in in-game settings. Turn real map enables to off...
Interesting. It doesn't fix everything but it certainly makes things suck way less
It instantly put the event spawn right on top of me
So, it will take you to a gps free zone. And everyone is sent to 1 of 6 zones depending on IRL location. And everything in the zone is the same, other than scent dinos.
So if there's an omega, or an epic or something in your zone you can ALL see it that are in that location (as long as its not from a scent).
Therefore, you can call out things for each other.
Where it sends you based on IRL location at time implemented:
🇺🇸 North America (Los Angeles)
🇧🇷 South America (Rio de Janeiro)
🇫🇷 Europe (Paris)
🇦🇺 Oceania (Sydney)
🇪🇬 Africa (Cairo)
🇯🇵 Asia (Tokyo)
What section is recommended to send out a ping if I spot something? Also, if I have a scent active when I switch between maps will I lose it?
if you have a scent active, you do not lose the scent, however you do lose the spawn and reroll what is currently spawning for the scent (practice with an unimportant scent to see what i mean).
and i don't think this server has a callout section. i just copied something from what i put on my groups server, but GP has a section now on their server
Ok thx, there's an epic pteranodon on the dpg map for NA rn
Sinraptor and 93 classic rex are both on the dpg map rn
Stuff is back to siminormal, but less dinos and more bosses.
Before and after, not even enough supply drops to open giga scents, little to no raids and some days I don’t even have green supply drops
Right one is before, left is after
Sometimes I don't even have a map
I’ve had to relaunch bc of that issue before
Luckily the team is working on it 🐍
🤣
I'm on train, far from any big city but next to a famous lake 💀
I’m assuming the map in my area will never be restored to what it was prior to Mapbox. Kentucky USA 🤬
Lol, loads of the routes and back roads around here still are blank/have blank spots
Same
New updated removed sanctuaries!
still barely no short range spawn points as well
Will the map ever be restored to what it was like before Mapbox? Still blank at my home and about half of the area where I drive. I’m in northeastern Kentucky. The LA no GPS location helps some. Around 1 year and very little improvement. Any hope for real improvements or just new Dino’s added constantly to try to keep us happy? It’s not working for me.
This is what happens all the time... Some big bug appears in the game, "working" on it for months, nothing changes and then they just forget it....
I’m guessing people would be willing to spend a little more money on a game that works properly instead a game that is bug ridden. It’s getting harder to keep playing when there is no hope of having a game that works, there have been no signs of improvement in over a year.
i honestly can't wait for the day they will shut the servers down
Until they get money from whales, they will keep the game running to milk for them
They don’t care about keeping players around. They just want the whales to stick around. Despite the fact that it’s far more profitable long term to have many players who occasionally spend. Than burning out the players who’d spend 500 a week.
Suggestion yeah just go back to Google Maps there was less issues all this problems is not worth playing the game for
They didn't really have a choice tho, since Google maps stopped supporting games or something like that
Yeah, there was a problem between them with the money or something, Mapbox wouldn't be that bad, but fsr Jamcity can't optimize or calibrate the game
It’s terrible around where I live
Yeah, but it seems like they are just don't care and pretend that they are working on it
yep its really just a super lazy and incompetent developer (jam city/Ludia)
JWA is kinda of like ARK great game concept (some of the best imo) but the companies producing them are truly just the worst.
i haven't had issues somehow
i feel like all rng went into the map
real (there are still a plentiful of areas with nothing on them and only on some driveways or other roads that they correspond/are adjacent with)
I was told by the game developers today that the spawn rate of strike events coin boxes, and raids being less is to be expected the game is functioning as intended hence therefore read between the lines corporate greed strikes again it ruined Niantic and Pokemon go and now it's going to ruin this game as well
From where I sit raids strike a bits and and the coin Chase on Sunday it was plentiful with lots of points now it is not
It should be strike events, raids, coin boxes have been reduced on purpose
You're never happy, are you? 🤔
nope
this is old news, Jamcity/Ludia is what you see when you look up the definition of Corporate Greed
Don't bother posting mapbox transition issues here it's just the ruse the response I have gotten from tech support is that the lack of raids and strike events and coin boxes in certain areas it's just the new normal it's how the game is programmed now to encourage people to spend more on DNA and coin boxes but if there's nothing to do but but PVP then why would I spend more not everybody is in the PVP
you really are negative all the time, dang
My map is okay, I have raids, drops and creatures, so I can't really complain, but I see why people have problems
Hopefully you do
Because it's getting tiring atp
It's not just about blank spots and stuff only showing up on some connecting roads or driveways either, the normal drop to event drop distribution in these areas is weird as well
On my way home or to work I have a blind spot too where I really don't have anything just some drops, but I mostly just fight or do the isla event
@final cape was told it is working g right it is the new way thay told this now 3 times
@winter adder it is my town
Yep, my path to work on the roads most spawns are pretty far away from the roads, enough that most event spawns are not even worth darting
And it’s even worse at my house, 4 max supply drops, no green most days
That fixed my map for the most part.
That's the only coin chase chest within sight
Try the real map thing they did instead of fixing the actual map, on thursday I got a Spino lobby this way
Another day... 0 event supply drop on an epic event...
Still a blank map at my house. It’s been over a year. Guessing it will never be fixed. Mapbox doesn’t seem to have been a good choice. Is there something better out there?
I can’t even login past one
Everything is going to be alright.
Omg
scent strikes 💔
So the night and the day screenshot is the same road. For some reason, when I get here the map goes blank and I had to reload the game. I noticed it a few days ago and yes, it's regular! This Mapbox thing needs to be fixed!
Mapbox sucks
I want old map version back(even tho I know it not happening)
Yeah, they messed up pretty well
Now that's not even Mapbox, that's what happened with how the map started keeping the POIs it already loaded from before when you do anything that wouldve caused the map to reload itself before, starting from 3.10
Still need POIs where there's actually blank spots (besides interstate highways) and better distribution for SE drops/short range spawns though please 🙏 been ages
I made the screenshots thursday night and friday morning, it's Mapbox
You can see it here
No it was caused by what changed with how the map reloads and/or keeps the current POIs loaded after you interact with something on the map since 3.10.
It happens to me too constantly since then, this is how I know
If you had to reload the game to get POIs that exist in the first place, it wasn't mapbox 🪬
