Short-range dissapeared

[queen topaz]

i reinstalled the game too.

[versed star]

Cool I wanted to do this a while back and never did. I thought Panthera was 5? I never found more than 5 a day.

[rocky kestrel]

well,

i'm not sure myself honestly

[reef trout]

I'm pretty sure epics are 5?

[lethal pewter]

welcome to the club

[gilded ridge]

The tracking is still really buggy. I have also had an issue where spawns (particularly amphicyon) will show up on the GPS-less map and when I switch over to my real location the spawns will be the same distance away in sometimes difficult or impossible to reach locations. When I click on one of the tracking tags displaying the dino on the map the game will usually freeze up with the "apatosaurus" name bug and I'll have to reload the game with all the spawns no where to be found upon reloading. Also, when I switch even a single trackable dino to another dino, all the spawns will disappear from my map and the tracking seems to stop functioning altogether. Its weird because I know they are there because I've seen draco, omega stego, and amphicyon around. I just can't consistently get the tracker to work in my real world location. Its frustrating.

[carmine sparrow]

Myself and another member in my alliance are not getting any spawns either. Only the "fake spawns" that show up after switching to GPS-less. I thought I had some, but they were not the real thing. I keep Amphi and Gorgonops in my tracker, so it should be easy to find. I also have access to 2 towns because of turning off precise. The other person in my alliance is on Android and he drove the whole way back and forth to work and can't see any. He can also only see them in GPS-less.

You are not alone, myself and another member of my alliance don't have any either. My town is small, but I have had a good map since the update, so that shouldn't be the cause

[reef ridge]

@random torrent I lucky bum

🤣

No wait.. that was you 😭

[dusk pivot]

And rexy and paralux? Where are they, I found the rest of short range including draco, but the two legendary are missing

[lone kelp]

Never having draco

Saw rexy and panthera,amphi and tiger but nothing else

[flint bolt]

They're out there, but they are much harder to find than they were before Ludia's screwup.

[vagrant olive]

I saw two Paralux in Zone 3 last night. Missed the first one but second showed up shortly after.

[primal crystal]

Is there now a weekly limit for Rexy? Found one yesterday and the day before quickly but been out for 6 hours today and nothing.

[rocky kestrel]

i mean, after all rexy is pretty hard to find, i get what you mean of course, however i'm pretty sure it's still a daily limit

[primal crystal]

Thanks, Just wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time tracking it if I've reached some hidden limit

[rocky kestrel]

yeah i 100% understand

[rocky kestrel]

I understand that you still might be a bit frustirated (if i even spelled that right) that you're still not having any short range spawns, however, as davendivine metioned here #announcements message, is that some people are not seeing them still, but i can assure you that the team is working on spreading the short range creatures around for everyone, if you have any more questions feel free to let me know and i'll be glad to assist you

[flint bolt]

When I decided I wanted to hunt Rexy back before this mess, I was able to reliably find Rexy every single day for like 90 days straight, out of a period of like 95 days or something. Point is Rexy was not that hard to find if you put in the time.
Now I'm putting in over double the time and effort and have not found a single Rexy since the fix.

It's great that Ludia has somewhat fixed their mistake, but they're way, way harder to find than they were before.

[kind pendant]

they said they were making short range harder to find though... so that fits, now that they are actually spawning again. they weren't expected to be spawning at the rates from before.

[rocky kestrel]

where did they say that 🤔

[kind pendant]

in every single ticket we submitted about the issue

[rocky kestrel]

ah

[subtle quiver]

No way this is fixed. Don't buy it. Four hours on the road the last two days with short ranges on track and I have seen nothing

[flint bolt]

I mean, the language was never "we intentionally changed it so they're harder to find," it was always "we're aware some players are having trouble finding short range spawns because we messed up," which was a lie considering they weren't spawning at all but the point is the change was not intentional.

[flint bolt]

I've seen short range spawns first hand, only things I haven't found yet are dracov and rexy.

[subtle quiver]

Yeah, and I've seen people say they were seeing short range spawns all throughout the time it was broken.

[flint bolt]

Those were invariably coming from people who didn't know what short ranges actually were.
I know what they are, and I've seen them.

[kind pendant]

yeah, those were people confusing zone spawns with proximity spawns

[rocky kestrel]

it wasn't fully fixed, but a minor fix was pushed 2 days ago to improve the short range spawns, so you are correct in one way, but also wrong in another way

[cold mango]

📠

Because there's no spawns/drops on most routes/back roads as a whole

[lethal pewter]

day 2 or 3 and still not a single short range spawn on my side

(apart from far in the distance in the gps less mode)

[versed star]

I haven’t seen any either

[lethal pewter]

it would be nice to know which geographical locations have short range spawn points so that for the unlucky we do not waste our time going out for nothing

[cold mango]

.

[primal crystal]

One thing I've noticed is I have to restart my game alot in order for tracked creatures to show. My son and I were both tracking Rexy and one showed for him but not for me until I restarted the game.

[gilded ridge]

Saw a Rexy off in the distance but when I clicked on it, the apatausorus bug appeared. Happens every single time I see one of these spawns. For all intents and purposes, at least for me and others like me, the tracking system is still completely broken.

[rocky kestrel]

i can confirm that this is a known issue and they are investigating, it sometimes works, and sometimes dosen't

[cold mango]

Means the spawn isn't actually there either

Across another city on a guided route, a whole 3 short range points I went past in total

[versed star]

First short range I’ve seen in LA.

[lone kelp]

I saw 3 panthera day before yesterday but didn't see a single fof yesterday

No rexy too lol

[reef ridge]

I can confirm the bug - a tiger I saw in Paris shows up as srs in daylight where I live

[versed star]

Same here.

[midnight belfry]

I have been getting a few short range I have a 1 hour long trip to my work and I am only getting one or two spawns for every few days it is usually a omega or the common wolf

[lone kelp]

Near my home

But not the others

[dusk pivot]

Now it's very difficult to find the short range, some of them are really really hide that no one can see them, the only ones I could saw was in fukui zone, amphy, draco, panthera epic (this one in less gps), oviraptor and criolopo omega , the others nothing, I've been driving for the 4 zones and not legendaries, not omega stego/diablo/geos...

[lone kelp]

I've seen no omega short ranges and no rexy too

[kind pendant]

i've seen lots of wolf. and i got a dracov yesterday! 😄

[primal crystal]

Did they lift the limit for Dracov? I just found my 2nd today and was able to dart it as well

[kind pendant]

it wasn't one before reset, one after? if it was both after, they'll fix that in les than an hour...

[primal crystal]

no, 2 within the last 15 minutes. like 2 blocks from each other

[kind pendant]

keep going until they fix it!!!! lol

[primal crystal]

I usually take it off the tracker when I get one but forgot to after the 1st find lol

[flint bolt]

Another day, another 2 hours of hunting wasted with zero Rexys spawned. Is Ludia planning to fix this atrocious distribution? Please don't tell me they took a look at their partial fix and called it good.

[tired lantern]

They spawning in the shop

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-cry-reading-pepe-the-frog-sad-gif-17607942

[primal crystal]

No Rexy for me either today but I did find another Dracov...

[kind pendant]

so 3 this week so far? interesting...

[primal crystal]

Yep, kinda scared to dart anymore. Thought I read that they banned those players that darted the Nom when it was mistakenly released

[kind pendant]

i didn't hear that, but that doesn't mean anything...

[dusk pivot]

1 week since the" fix" and 0 rexys, 0 paralux, 0 Tyger, 1 panthera in Paris jajaja... 😔

[tame silo]

Same

Only Panthera

Or the tracking not working

[carmine sparrow]

0 everything in my town, including Amphi

[flint bolt]

Another day and more nothing.

[lethal pewter]

day 8 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[dusk pivot]

As I said the other day, the uniques short range spawn I could see are all in fukui Zone, amphi is easy to find there but the others are impossible

[versed star]

First I’ve seen outside of the gps less map. It’s way far away but I tapped it and look what it showed. Stupid apatosaurus and then froze my game so I had to relaunch. 🙄😑

[lethal pewter]

It was most likely on the GPS less mode and stayed there when you switched back to normal mode. I have that every day.

[fresh yacht]

Nope that glish existed long before gps less

[lethal pewter]

what bug? taping on the card and freezing the game?

[fresh yacht]

Yep

[lethal pewter]

never had that before the latest version but for months there was not a single card showing as short range spawns were totally broken hence the creature tracker was not picking up anything

[fresh yacht]

Before they were broken it happened to me twice

[versed star]

I also had it before gps less. Always shows apatosaurus too.

[midnight ice]

And still nothing for me - no Rexy no Draco and day after day of walking for at least 2 hours a day .

[lethal pewter]

Do you get the common at least or absolutely nothing like me?

[midnight ice]

Absolutely nothing

[lethal pewter]

I guess we are a few like this with nothing.

[carmine sparrow]

I also have nothing and same with a co-leader

[lethal pewter]

day 11 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[kind pendant]

now we know why they nerfed the frequency...

[cold mango]

This is pretty much back to where it was when the original mapbox transition happened.

Uber rare to none back to uber rare again

Now for me, spawns as a whole are rare. Because there ain't much ON most routes or back roads still and blank areas still exist quite a lot

[soft steppe]

Hey @here it would be really helpful if you could comment a rough estimation of how many short range creatures you've encountered since the fix and which ones you've seen. Thanks!

[grim maple]

About three or four

[crystal brook]

Hello. I caught 1 rexy and around 8-10 short omegas. I use tracker for it, but it's difficult to find them. Last year I can caught 4+ rexy per week without problem. Also I use tracker for common amphycion lol. Not easy to find him without.

[vagrant olive]

Dracovenator appears VERY quickly when I put on the search, Panthera I can usually find a few a day, Parasaurolophus Lux I may see a couple in a week, and I have never seen a single Rexy once. Haven't tracked anything else, but the Commons and Omegas seem to appear.

[rocky kestrel]

i have encountered pretty many recently, and today i found a panthera for the first time in a while

[misty bobcat]

I have seen plenty of Amphi, a couple Cryo, but none of the following despite tracking them: Diablo, Draco, Rexy, Panthera, Tiger, Geo, Stegouros

[crystal brook]

At the same time i caught more then 100 zonal omegas per week while walking and riding in transport, if you want to compare

[misty bobcat]

I used to be able to see Stego, Diablo and rexy often when looking now its never unless they are part of an event

[lethal pewter]

day 14 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[carmine sparrow]

0 in my 2 small town locations. I’ve only seen them in gps-less and when I go to the bigger town. And in the bigger town, I’ve only seen Amphi, but I’m not really there hunting dinos for long

[tame silo]

Rexy is on my tracker permanently and I have found one since the fix; two Draco and like 5 Panthera

[dusk pivot]

0 rexys, 0 paralux, 0 diablo, 0 stego, 1 geos, 1 panthera and draco but in Paris less gps mode so, imposible get them, 1 crío, amphy a few

[versed star]

0

[grim maple]

Just make the damn things a anytime global spawn, it would make things so much easier for y’all…

[gilded ridge]

On my real map in Minnesota in the U.S., zero. Absolutely nothing. Its very frustrating considering people think this part of the game is actually fixed! On the GPS-less mode in California, I've seen 1 or 2 unique draco, 1 or 2 omega diablo, 1 or 2 omega stego, some common amphicyon, and maybe a Rexy. (Not 100% sure about that last one). This is over the entire time since the supposed "fix", not just the last week or so. The spawns do seem to be incredibly rare. Compared to the Google map version, its atrocious at how bad the spawn rates are.

[pale flax]

Not finding nearly enough compared to what it once was. I have this game open in a vehicle traveling hundreds of city blocks for multiple hours with short ranges in the tracker. I might find 3 or 4 in that amount of time investment. I used to hit most of the daily / weekly limits on the regular. Now no where near the limits.

[kind pendant]

Yeah, the spawn rates suck

[cold mango]

A whole 3 short range spawn points in total. Mainly because I don't have many actual spawns or drops around most of my areas anyhow, since the original mapbox transition... Still have a plentiful of blank spots and nothing ON the routes or back roads...

[soft steppe]

Thanks as always for your feedback everyone, I'll pass this along to the team. They are still working on improving the spawns for those of you who have seen very little.

[lethal pewter]

not very little, none

[rocky kestrel]

I mean, we do know that they are spawning atleast, just not for everyone (yet)

[versed star]

Which now validates their original statement which was a lie. So now they can say that.

[orchid vessel]

None for me yet either. Did get the DPG glitch. Not sure if it’s because my area now has less spawn points than it had before mapbox or what. Still really wish they would just make them regular spawns while retaining their weekly / daily limit.

[midnight ice]

Still absolutely no Rexy, no Draco despite both being on my tracker.
Is it because I’m in a rural area?

[reef trout]

Most likely. The fix was for densely populated areas for the most part

[lethal pewter]

day 17 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[crystal brook]

Last week I caught 154 zonal omegas and 1 short-omega

[carmine sparrow]

I am now below the visual max on Amphi because so many people in my alliance are requesting it and I also can't get it. Please fix this along with Panthera, Rexy, Tiger, Draco, etc

[lethal pewter]

i have gloriously ignored all those requests as well as i have no way to collect any of this dna...

[carmine sparrow]

I am donating because I have a lot. But who knows for how long

[lethal pewter]

day 21 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[tall star]

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by visual max?

[carmine sparrow]

Once you have reached a certain amount of dna (250k for common, 10k Omega, 25k for Epic, 4K for Unique, 1k for Apex,) you can no longer see how much dna you have, but you can continue collecting. The actual cap is double each of those numbers

[tall star]

Thanks for responding. I had no idea that was a thing!

I'm close to that with some Commons, but not anything else. At least I now won't wonder what's going on when the counter stalls.

[carmine sparrow]

You can see your actual numbers when you donate or fuse. It surprised me at first too

[lethal pewter]

day 24 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[flint bolt]

At this point I think they're going to just call it good despite their fix being a bandaid on a bullet wound.

[carmine sparrow]

Tired of seeing so many Amphi requests in my alliance. And people asking for it in the sancs. That tells me that a lot of my players do not have short-range spawns

[versed star]

I’ve been giving my 300k away I don’t plan on making cat-dog 🙄😑🤦‍♂️

[lethal pewter]

day 29 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[tired lantern]

They are working on it very hard! Be patient! 😅😂

[orchid vessel]

So annoyed that I still haven’t seen a short range spawn except the ones in the distance on the DPG. Not even Amphi 😡

[carmine sparrow]

I don’t even use the tracker that I paid in-game cash for anymore

[versed star]

https://tenor.com/view/at-the-time-it-sounded-like-a-good-idea-it-made-sense-planning-regret-mistake-gif-16731574

[analog falcon]

Pretty evident that they have no intention of fixing this, if it wasn't intentional in the first place.

[tired lantern]

Maybe the devs are actually blonde women ☕ 😂

[lethal pewter]

day 32 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[dusk pivot]

The "fix" was an absolutely joke

[lethal pewter]

day 35 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[versed star]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-obsolete-kevin-gates-just-ride-song-outdated-a-thing-of-the-past-gif-22599291

[carmine sparrow]

I see Amphi in my distance and I haven’t been in gps-less. I can’t verify yet. But I’ll update when I can

[gilded ridge]

Thats because it is an event creature for Wednesday and Thursday. 😫

[carmine sparrow]

Yeah, I realized that as soon as I wrote it 😩

[gilded ridge]

I was excited for a few seconds this morning too when I first saw it. Then I realized... 😂😭

[flint bolt]

I found a Rexy. 1st one since like November.
The issue still isn't fixed though, Rexy and the other non-common short ranges are all still far too hard to find.

[cold mango]

Spawns are too hard to find, where the POIs at yo

[fresh yacht]

First draco since "fix" but i was in school 💀💀💀💀

[lethal pewter]

day 38 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[lethal pewter]

day 41 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[lethal pewter]

of course the new legendary creature is a short range spawn...

[versed star]

@warped lagoon @soft steppe why does the team keep making creatures release as short range spawns when it’s been a known issue sinec the map transition that it is broken for 90% of the playerbase? How does this logically make sense and how is this fair?

[tender pier]

4l3x4ndr3.th3g3ntl3m4n has been warned

Reason: swearing

[queen topaz]

Even after the today's update. Still no close range dino appear inside my city.

[cold mango]

Imagine regularly having at least a decent amount of points of interest, especially while traveling

[flint bolt]

It doesn't make sense and it isn't fair, but since this issue disproportionately affects F2P players they're never going to care.

[orchid vessel]

I still have not been able to get a single short range spawn since the “fix” even common amphicyon. It’s completely disheartening

[tame silo]

but they already fixed the short-range spawining and the flying backwards birds

[gilded ridge]

It feels like such a slap in the face to the players to make a dino a short range exclusive when the short range spawns DO NOT WORK. I cant stand these developers.

[carmine sparrow]

It’s almost as if they don’t know anything about their player base 🤔

[cold mango]

Spawns don't work 💀 Another day another time to ask where those points of interest are at

My report was a location that has 0 drops in range total in a house on a route

It has 1 and it's only in range of VIP and most of the same route has absolutely nothing still 💀 As does most, especially ON them and not just on the 2 roads that intersect while traveling

[analog falcon]

They don't care.

[midnight ice]

Still not a single short range spawn for me since the so called ‘fix’
As others have said - if the fix is only for those who live in certain areas how is this actually a fix?
If the team can make short range spawn in certain areas what on earth is stopping them spawning elsewhere?

[lethal pewter]

day 44 without a single short range spawn except for the ones in the distance of the gps less mode since the "fix"

[kind pendant]

the gps free mode no longer has tracking for short range spawns showing i don't think...

[lethal pewter]

you are correct, I noticed they disable the creature tracker when you switch to GPS less mode in the latest update, still 0 short range spawn regardless in my town

[lethal pewter]

day 47 without a single short range spawn since the "fix"

[radiant nimbus]

I only have common short range spawns

[crystal brook]

After update 3.5 I start find more short-range spawn. Still hard, but a little bit better.

[lethal pewter]

amphicyon?

[kind pendant]

i am seeing more proximity spawns than pre 3.5, mostly amphy

[radiant nimbus]

Yeah

[orchid vessel]

Still haven’t even found an amphi

[kind pendant]

i'm tracking them, but i know some aren't seeing them at all sadly.

[orchid vessel]

I am tracking as well- and there just aren’t any for me 👎🏻

[cold mango]

#POIswhen

[radiant nimbus]

Sorry then i been stealing them ig

[midnight ice]

Another day with not a single short range spawn since the map change

[radiant nimbus]

Its my fault im sorry im stealing all of you guys short range spawns

[tame silo]

scelidosaurus was for a short period of time a short-range dino. It felt like a scam. I was hours looking for it and only found it once in that period. And to make things worse, yeah worse, they gave the dino on a special weekly event, rendering the tracker unusable. Thanks for nothing.

[gilded ridge]

what is it now, day 51, almost 52, without spawns?

[lethal pewter]

day 52 without a single short range spawn since the "fix"

[lethal pewter]

hoo hoo i see para lux in the distance, creature tracker is working

never mind, it is a special event...

[restive star]

The short range spawns are working. I would assume any lack of them is a mapbox thing.

I ran into a Dracovenator only moments ago

[lethal pewter]

it works in some places and not in many places, so not really fixed

[restive star]

That means it's probably an issue with map distribution, not short ranges not working

[lethal pewter]

yes but other creatures are spawning without any issue, so specific to short range spawns, not enough short range POIs

[restive star]

If there isn't enough short range POIs that's still an issue with map box

[lethal pewter]

not seen a single short range spawn since october or november in my town

and by the amount of dna request of amphicyon in alliances, i am not the only one

[kind pendant]

And it's like that POI form didnt do anything for short range...
This form thing...
#1162068786866819154 message

[cold mango]

There aren't enough POIs as a whole, especially on routes and on back roads, and I'm surprised no one but me even cares

No city? (even these do not have even remotely close to what google maps did for short range POIs) What a pity!

[tired lantern]

I'm surprised that this game is still Alive

[orchid vessel]

The map box transition definitely decreased the number of event drops around me but there are still a lot in surrounding areas and I still haven’t even been able to find a single common amphi in my tracker. It’s ridiculous

[gilded ridge]

Whether you want to call it really bad map distribution or dinos not spawning, it does not change the fact that a SIZEABLE portion of the player base simply does not have ANY short range spawns around them. I'm beyond tired of people making excuses for the supposedly "fixed" short-range system not working.

Even worse, there has been no communication from the company or the devs that they are even working on it or consider it a priority to be fixed. Just simply that "they are aware of the issue". The entire situation just feels dirty and disrespectful to the players.

[restive star]

Short Ranges are spawning, there just isn't enough POIs. Therefore, the short range issue has been fixed, they now just need to fix an issue with map distribution. The short range issue was short ranges straight up not spawning.

They do spawn, there is just limited regions in which they can

[cold mango]

Not really... The rate that they do (how many short range POIs there are across the area as a whole) even in large cities, is nowhere near google maps lol

Let the blank spots of no spawns or drops and nothing on the route or back road specifically and only on driveways or some other roads on it keep coming and going I guess...

[versed star]

I haven’t seen one since the whole map transition months ago and I have traveled a lot.

[carmine sparrow]

I have no short-range spawns in either of the two towns near me. When I visit the "big town 20 minutes away, I can see Amphi, but have yet to see another short-range spawn

[kind pendant]

i have short range in my city, but 98% it's amphy. i think i average 1 dracov a month now, haven't seen a rexy or tiger, and exactly 1 panthera since the "fix"...

[carmine sparrow]

I'm assuming that's what's happening in my big town. I'm just not there long enough to see them

[orchid vessel]

I am quite jealous over people who can even see amphi 😂😭. I even live in a decent sized suburb of Chicago 🤷🏼‍♀️ nothing since mapbox. I wish I had darted all those amphi’s in retrospect now.

[lethal pewter]

day 56 without a single short range spawn since the "fix"

[supple shuttle]

Same

[rocky kestrel]

atleast they added short range scents

[lethal pewter]

where?

[rocky kestrel]

https://market.jurassicworldalive.com/

[rough cedar]

I live in the western burbs of Chicago and see virtually no short range spawns. I occasionally see a amphi (there seems to be a few very small areas in my town…maybe 200 yds by 200 yds where they spawn), but virtually nothing else. I walk several miles per day outdoors (weather permitting) and see an occasional amphi not within reach, but nothing else. Since the “fix” was put in place, I have seen 1 Draco and no Rexy. Pre-map box, I would see Draco every week and rexy 4-5x per week. I’ve been to O’hare several times and yet to see anything there…

[lethal pewter]

i guess chicago is not a densely populated enough area...

i am not really surprised though because when the creature tracker was "working" in the gps less mode, you could see for instance there was barely any short range POI in the centre of paris which is a fairly dense city, where do you need to be to have proper short range POIs? HK maybe or Lagos?

[tame silo]

How does that compare to a daily Rexy?

You are doing it again

[orchid vessel]

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea.

[supple shuttle]

So a few random "good" dinos a week is comparable to actively hunting in a specific zone for a specific dino up to # times a week? I realize it's not intentional but some people are able to get 10 specific Omega in a week while the rest of us MAY get one useful something with this scent.

[rough cedar]

They probably should have limited short range spawns to the non-gps area until this was fixed for all. The fact that some (most) players have the advantage of darting meta relavant creatures when others cant is simply not fair. Rather than correcting this, they introduce new creatures, some of which have short range spawn ingredients. All it does is put some players further behind with no chance to ever catch up. Actions speak louder than words, and this is clearly not a priority fix. Sad that the state of the game favors some but not all…

[tame silo]

Probably to avoid Apple’s commission on every sell

If that’s the case I would understand that move. But in order to get the scent I have to give personal information and I can’t trust them keeping that safe. I mean look at the unsolved game issues…

[kind pendant]

A little trick for those who haven’t already discovered it, if you switch to the alternate map between spawns you’ll get double spawns.

[lethal pewter]

would be nice if the app was not shutting down when switching from one to the other

[analog falcon]

Nothing at all in the Addressing Various Issues about short range. Guess we know how important it is for them to "fix" again.

[lethal pewter]

day 59 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[versed star]

https://tenor.com/view/noooooo-gif-19719774

[midnight ice]

Every time I see a player in my alliance levelling Draco I see other players saying they haven’t seen one since the game switched to mapbox. This includes me - not a single sighting of any short range creatures since the switch which was months ago now.
A couple of months ago the supposed ‘fix’ clearly worked for some but certainly not for all.
Some kind of response that actually explains why would be nice.
And even better, whatever was done to fix it for those who have them now could be done for those of us who don’t have it fixed yet.

[subtle quiver]

Lol, good for you, you elitist. I haven't seen a dracovenator come up on my tracker since sometime before November last year.
"You peasants just aren't going to the right places. I just saw a dracovenator (stereotypical rich person laugh)"

[restive star]

what ☠️

I was just saying that the short ranges are spawning and there's just a lack of POIs for them

That was the first Dracov I had seen in a very long time as well

[empty grove]

I lost braincells reading this

[subtle quiver]

Sorry about your brain childs

[empty grove]

Plus the short range scent exists

[restive star]

How does finding a dracov make me an elitist 💀

[empty grove]

It's either that or your lack of short range creature spawns

Dunno what to choose first

[subtle quiver]

Oh they giving out unlimited short range scents to make up for people not finding short range spawns on a consistent basis? Cool

[restive star]

You get a free short range scent per week, the scent has every short range creature + PB, Cerato, and Sty Lux

[empty grove]

And dracovenator

So idk what there is to complain about

[subtle quiver]

Loss of short range spawns. Try and keep up

[trail maple]

maybe you can get good

[empty grove]

Pro tip:
They aren't supposed to come to you. You are supposed to go to them .

[trail maple]

I don't know why this thread has 1250 messages it isn't hard

[empty grove]

Sorry your incapable of moving to places

[empty grove]

Fr

[subtle quiver]

Ok, so now we are shifting to "this person doesn't know how to play the game" You work for Jam City?

[empty grove]

It's just those individuals who want the short ranged creatures to track them

[subtle quiver]

You think I don't know how short range spawns work?

[empty grove]

Nah. I'm just saying walk around and find some

💯

[subtle quiver]

You think everyone on here saying the don't see short range spawns is lying?

[trail maple]

I think they have a skill issue tbh

[subtle quiver]

Should this help and support thread be shut down because "problem solved"?

[empty grove]

I agree

[trail maple]

really they should have the just stopped playing the game

[empty grove]

Instead of making a big deal of nothing

[subtle quiver]

I move around all the time, why are you being combative to people that have legitimate problems with the game not working as intended?

[rocky kestrel]

Can you guys like not argue here please thank you

[subtle quiver]

Fr people in here doing Jam City's leg work. "you all are complaining over nothing, you just suck at playing JWA"

[trail maple]

idk you called someone an elitist because they got lucky ☠️

leave the guy alone

he's just tryna help

[rocky kestrel]

Short ranges have been confirmed to be spawning, just not for everyone with mapbox issue etc

[subtle quiver]

They got lucky or short range is working as intended for everyone?

[trail maple]

Short Ranges are working perfectly normally. The issue is there aren't enough places for them to spawn

[rocky kestrel]

^

[empty grove]

Yes

Short range is fixed now stop your yapping

[trail maple]

I would suspect this is because Ludia didn't focus on fixing short range POIs when they transitioned to mapbox because the short ranges weren't spawning at that time

[subtle quiver]

Gee I wonder why things aren't getting fixed for everyone. Probably because the people it isn't working for are getting shut down on here

[rocky kestrel]

It's bc of the mapbox issue (moving away from google maps)

[junior plume]

Everyone has it fixed or will I never see Stegouros again?

[empty grove]

Spamming the clown reaction make you look worse-

[empty grove]

I mean it should be fixed I did see dracovenator from tracker out of my range a few times

[subtle quiver]

"it's fixed but you have to get lucky or maybe you just don't know how the game works you scrub. Go away"

[trail maple]

Because of a mapbox issue 💀

[rocky kestrel]

Jake i'm gonna give you one final warning,

If you wanna argue, do it in dms and not in this server since it's against the rules

Short ranges are working perfectly fine, just that they don't have enough "space" to spawn in for most of the people playing

[subtle quiver]

The gang up worked perfectly

[rocky kestrel]

Okay yeah

Gotcha, thank you

[empty grove]

It's joever

[junior plume]

I’m just glad it’s Al least somewhat fixed, I just hope they iron out normal distribution more so I don’t see 28 raid bosses followed by nothing for 5 miles

[empty grove]

And he's gone guys

We are saved

[restive star]

Maybe chill out with the insults

[empty grove]

Nah dw about it

Situation is normal

[rocky kestrel]

He left

Dw abt it

[trail maple]

Sorry, I'll tone it down. Just got overly frustrated

[empty grove]

Oh I thought he got kicked 😆

[rocky kestrel]

Idk honestly

[empty grove]

But I think we should archive this thread seeing short range isn't an issue

Only map box

[rocky kestrel]

I agree

[restive star]

One of us will let the team know

[empty grove]

This was indeed

A goofy goober experience 🤪

[hollow root]

WAIT WHAT

Where?

[restive star]

https://market.jurassicworldalive.com

[hollow root]

yay more ways to be P2W

[kind pendant]

I wouldn't archive because people looking for answers wont know to look in mapbox transition thread when they arent seeing proximity spawns...

[lethal pewter]

If short range creatures are spawning in very limited locations, I would not say it is working perfectly fine...

[rocky kestrel]

They are not working perfectly, but they are working fine

But once again, it's due to the mapbox issue it dosen't work for everyone

[versed star]

it still gives people a very valid reason to complain and for the company to not ignore this. They can simply be done with Short Range Spawns and make them local or park or something else. If it isn't available to everyone it isn't proper.

[lethal pewter]

please not park haven't seen one of those in years

and no, 1 short range spawn scent a week does not compensate

[kind pendant]

just make them global and put limits on them...

[lethal pewter]

it is an improvement but still

[versed star]

i didn't even get the short range scent.

[tired lantern]

It's fine, just people stop playing and pay 😅

[orchid vessel]

You have to go to the webpage online store. It’s not in the normal in app game store.

I still think there should be a thread about the short range spawns being a problem and it should not be archived. There are so many issues because of mapbox if they were all in the exact same thread everything will be lost amongst the many issues. The team still needs to know that most people can’t find short range dinos due to POI issues and not get it brushed under the rug. Its not as simple as get out there and walk- even though they have been spawning again it is not where near what it was before. I used to go out and walk, drive and be able to find them easily. Now- nothing. I feel like on the mapbox issues thread it’s more people talking about how their areas still don’t have any drop boxes, raid boss issues, etc.

[distant zodiac]

The frustrating thing is when short range creatures do show up on my tracker they are not tied to roads, sidewalks, or trails but on inaccessible private property. Sure, 100% it’s fixed. Let’s archive this page. 🙄

[midnight ice]

So because I live in the Cotswold countryside and don’t drive but walk for at least 4 miles daily I should just shut up about the fact that I see no short range spawns?
Archive the thread because people who do see them say it’s fixed?
I still have yet to see a single valid reason as to why folk like me don’t see any.
Not enough points of interest is no excuse - simply add some or make the spawn rate even across the board. It’s surely not rocket science is it?
Surely the devs can just put spawns out every mile or so wherever rather than just in selected areas.

[restive star]

The entire reason this thread will likely soon be archieved is that the issue this thread is covering (short ranges not spawning) has been resolved.

All further issues with short range spawns are for #1162068786866819154 as the issue is now based on Mapbox POIs, not short range spawns

[kind pendant]

so the issue many are experiencing with the lack of POIs preventing them from seeing any short range spawns in their area will get lost with the other mapbox issues... personally, i don't think that's good form.

[restive star]

It's all just mapbox issues now

[distant zodiac]

Completely laughable.

[soft steppe]

Hey there, we understand that some of you have had little to no short-range creatures spawning. This frustration is totally understandable, and the team is working on improving POIs for Mapbox thanks to your submissions. If you have not submitted your points, please do so here: https://jamcity.helpshift.com/hc/en/67-jurassic-world-alive-maps/faq/8299-map-event-distribution---reporting-empty-maps-missing-points-and-modifying-points/.

While the short-range issue is fixed for most players at this point, we see a correlation between a lack of Mapbox POIs and short-range spawn issues. The more point submissions the better. The team continues to work on this issue with urgency, and we appreciate your patience as this has been a super tricky integration over to the new Mapbox.

While we will keep this thread open, please refrain from arguments and stay on topic. Should the thread get derailed, we will archive this thread and encourage you to post your short-range spawn concerns here: https://discord.com/channels/974302444643311636/1162068786866819154

[cold mango]

A location I reported still has only 1 drop in range of VIP total since we even knew about the reports in general, off a route...

[lethal pewter]

could we have a transparent poll regarding this? the feedback i get from my alliance is not that most are seeing short range spawns

[reef trout]

Define "POIs" please? Because if you're referring to event supply drops, raid bosses, and other general spawns, I've seen areas that have no shortage of items previously mentioned that have no short-range spawns in sight

[restive star]

POIs means Point Of Interest. Basically, Short Range POIs are the areas on the map where a shortrange can spawn

The issue currently is that there is a very low amount of them, and they aren't all guaranteed to have a short range

[reef trout]

So in order to report a "missing POI", you'd have to painstakingly note every single location that short ranges aren't spawning, and then report it? Am I understanding that correctly?

[lethal pewter]

exactly that, on my side I have as many POIs if not more than when Google Maps was the map provider and yet, there is not a single short range spawn in my town while there had not zillions but decent enough and somewhere you could reach within 20 minutes to dart dracov once a week and rexy at least every 2 or 3 days

day 64 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[orchid vessel]

Even though my home street was left supply drop less after map box (submitted a ticket but no change) there are still plenty of supply drops in town and all the surrounding towns that I have traveled all over and still not even a short range amphi that is in my tracker.

[lethal pewter]

day 67 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[soft steppe]

Hey @here just in case you don't know, we do distribute 1 free Short Range Scent a week by signing up for the webstore. It resets every wednesday, so if you sign up today you will get 1 today and 1 tomorrow. https://market.jurassicworldalive.com/

I know it's not a fix for the issue but hopefully it will help until we can implement new Mapbox data.

[crystal brook]

this xsolla website available only in USA, Canada and Europe and people from other countries need to use VPN for open it😅

so if someone have 403 error, now you know what to do🌚

[lethal pewter]

day 72 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[lethal pewter]

day 76 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[lethal pewter]

day 84 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[steady gull]

day 86 without a single wild short range spawn since the "fix"

[restive star]

y'all they fixing it this update ☠️

at least wait til the update before starting it again

[versed star]

Day 1 no short range spawns since the update today.

[restive star]

It's been a day ☠️

Short ranges are supposed to be rare

[kind pendant]

they specifically said that the update with the map changes should make proximity spawns more common

[restive star]

Yeah, it should be like it was before. When theyberrebrere

I am so sorry. I just got really lightheaded all of a sudden

I couldn't see what I was typing

[flint bolt]

Brother it has been five months since they broke this very important part of the game, the time to ask for patience from the players is long since past.

[lethal pewter]

i have seen at least 3 short range points (according to the pictures of amphi) outside of my 200m drone range and 3 short range points inside my 200m drone range which is sensibly what it was before when it was google maps, i have not tested that they were actually short range creatures because i can't be bothered to get there for amphi, i am in a rural space so they have done something at least, i reported my location with the gps data and stuff though so i don't know if it has had an impact, i am curious to see the feedback from others though

[rocky kestrel]

even i am shocked how good this turned out to be ngl

[soft steppe]

Hey everyone, I can see some of you have seen an improvement in short range spawns, but wondering how many of you have seen improvements?

[rocky kestrel]

Here! I've seen a lot of improvements

[lethal pewter]

a poll would be useful

[rocky kestrel]

i could make a google doc real quick if needed lol

well

google poll*

[kind pendant]

i figured you'd just do a discord poll here, lol

[rocky kestrel]

well

that works, i forgot abt that

[modest meteor]

have you seen more short range creatures spawn since the update?

🇦 ​ yes

🇧 ​ no

🇨 ​ same

Poll by @soft steppe
You can choose only one option.

[soft steppe]

@here is a poll! Thanks!

[crystal brook]

i see less lol.

think it's because of increase of supply dropps😅

[carmine sparrow]

I put no because I can see Amphi in the distance, but in all my dog walks (which cover quite some space,) I haven’t come across one Amphi yet. I also took Amphi out and haven’t seen any other short range spawns- the ones I would actually leave my house for intentionally

[kind pendant]

i had a short range in my short range circle for a few weeks, and now there's only 1 further away in walking distance in my 200m circle, that's why mine is a no... lol

but i'm glad it's better for many others

[cold mango]

The POI issue seems to still be in effect here, how are you gonna get them when the roads you travel on rely on adjacent roads for drops or spawns and have nothing directly on them most of the time?

[vagrant olive]

Only short range I have are Rexy, Para Lux, Draco, and Noma, haven't seen an increase though Draco seems to spawn best in Dilpho areas. Not a single Rexy or Para Lux.

[high silo]

Nomingia isn't short range exclusive

[versed star]

0 here

[orchid vessel]

Not seeing any rexy- but have seen amphi and Draco in my tracker

[gaunt moss]

Saw an ovirap and megalo for the first time in a awhile today and saw a cryo in the wild for the first time ever today.

[carmine sparrow]

I retract my earlier statement. I have since darted 1 Panthera and 1 Draco, plus I saw 1 Panthera late last night, so I am seeing more than the 0 I’ve been seeing since October

[lethal pewter]

I am surprised by the amount of noes. It would be interesting to see if amongst the noes it is only people who had short range spawns already before 3.6.24 or if it is people who have not seen any short range spawn since october.

[opaque holly]

I even had a diabloceratops spawn

[rough cedar]

I am seeing short range spawns, however no rexy or draco (both on tracker). A decent number of amphi across the area I have spanned since yesterdays release. Relative to mapbox its much improved but density is less than google maps. Did run into a panthera yesterday on a long walk which is not on my tracker. Its definitely playable now, but given the distance Ive walked and driven I would have expected to see Rexy or draco.

[elfin spindle]

spins on supply drops arent spawning now

[versed star]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-jurassic-park3-ben-hildebrand-paraglider-no-not-yet-gif-22544973

[spring lava]

Before, I had occasionally seen DracoV and very few times Rexy, now since the update really none of them. Very disappointing.

[dusk pivot]

Since the last update I seen several amphy, draco, panthera, oviraptor,criolopo/stego/diablo... But only 1 rexy, is the limit of rexy 1 per week or is as before the fix, 2 per day?

[orchid vessel]

While I am finally seeing amphi, Draco, some other randoms I have still yet to see a Rexy and have done a significant amount of driving. Rexy was always harder to find but I was able to find Rexy previously.

[gaunt moss]

Same actually. I drive allot too and would average 1 rexy a day before the transition. Only seen 2 since the first 'fix'. Haven't seen any yet since most recent fix.

[tired lantern]

My problem is still the raids, I don't see much still, with Google maps at home and at work I had at least 2, but sometimes 3 raids in the circle, now I only have one and on the way I barely see any that I can catch

[orchid vessel]

Same

[midnight ice]

I see Draco, para lux and amphy which I didn’t see before the update

No Rexy so far though

[lethal pewter]

i think they mentioned they reduced the probability of spawning for legendary and above, can't find where i saw that and if it was true or just some usual corporate lie thrown out there when they were denying there was an issue with short range spawns

[soft steppe]

I can confirm that the spawn rate was never changed!

[fresh yacht]

Well i still saw none legendary or better in like a month😐

[lethal pewter]

i definitely see less of unique and legendary spawns than before the transition from google maps even though now there are short range spawn points around

[tired lantern]

I ain't met any legendary and unique, only nomingia in the distance

[high silo]

Nomingia isn't short range

[tired lantern]

Hm. True.

[tall star]

Not just you.. The only Rexy I've found since things changed all those months ago turned out to be an Apatosaurus when I clicked on it from a distance and the info card came up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dire sonnet]

Omg, I didn’t know all those creatures can spawn! I haven’t seen any of those, since last year. How much of this game are we missing out on? Those of us still empty mapped and lacking POI ,since Mapbox, plus broke Raid invites?

[dire sonnet]

I just figured they took Rexy off the map, and all the lvl 27 Dracovenator that kill me in pvp were bought with real money.

[kind pendant]

don't forget to get your short range scent in the online store every week. you can get double spawns by switching by precise on/off in your phones settings for the game every 2 mins, and you can reroll the spawns by switching between gps free map and regular map like twice...

[restive star]

I've got 29 dracov f2p

I would imagine the people you're facing got it before the bug or live in a very dense area

I saw a dracov the other day, but I wasn't able to dart it because it was so unexpected and I was in the car

[orchid vessel]

Does this little orange timer mean they are getting rid of the free weekly short range scent?

[tall star]

I think the timer indicates either how long since you opened it or how long until the next one is available. I'd need to go check.

Ok ignore that, I don't know! There are two timers on mine, same as shown in your pic. If I had to guess, and that's all it would be, then the green font timer down near the button is the one indicating when the next one is available. But that doesn't explain the timer on the red background.

[restive star]

I've asked the team about it and am awaiting a response

[fresh yacht]

Still nothing?

[drowsy lynx]

I asked them too, still nothing

[rocky kestrel]

dosen't seem to have gone away

[drowsy lynx]

But there’s no more timer

Yeah

[rocky kestrel]

hmm, yeah i'll check on this again

in other words, i didn't get any answer before so i'll ask again

[drowsy lynx]

So what does this mean, do we have to pay for it now

NEVER

[rocky kestrel]

yeah i mean, if the price is pretty low (hopefully) i would easily but it

because that scent is so good

[drowsy lynx]

There making us pay $150 for 100 apex dna

In what context is that fair

[rocky kestrel]

i get what you mean however i gotta say this, it's not only 100 apex dna, it's also some catalyst

now i know what you're gonna say i'm pretty sure, but still

i mean, even if the scent is like 20 dollars it would still be worth it imo

[drowsy lynx]

Unless it’s 3000 bronze or 1000 gold, in what context is $150 worth it

[drowsy lynx]

The premium season pass (for me) is $20. The grand premium is $40

[rocky kestrel]

yeah same

[rocky kestrel]

okay hm

maybe put it in the pass or something (not grand)

oh yeah fair enough

ehm

[soft steppe]

Hey there! I can confirm it's a visual issue, we are not getting rid of the short range scents!
There will no longer be a countdown timer but you can still expect the weekly reset to occur on Wednesday 15:00 UTC.

[kind pendant]

thx!@

[fresh yacht]

...😐

[fresh yacht]

Oh ok

Oh yh its there now

[lethal pewter]

to be honest, it is still not completely fixed, i barely see any rexy or dracov it was not like that at all with google maps, i now see more short range spawn points than with google maps but mainly rare and common, almost no legendary or unique spawning

[kind pendant]

i had a month or 2 where i had a spawn in my inner circle when all ya'll never saw any (yes it was glorious, but i knew it was shortlived)... and other than that, i've had about 3 months the entire time short range has been a thing that has short range spawns i can walk to... and i'm back to only short range spawns i can see are driving distance away. and even when i see them they aren't anything over epic, except i occasionally see a dracov in the distance in a gated community i can't get in and that's only once every couple months... zero rexy.

[tired lantern]

Since the "fix" I didn't see any unique or legendary and I play with two accounts

We've been scammed again

[lethal pewter]

not scammed scammed but yes it is definitely not spawning as it used to

I have seen rexy maybe twice since the fix and dracov maybe once...

[echo lance]

sceli short-range spawn wya?

[primal crystal]

Zero Sceli sightings

[molten compass]

The only place you are likely to sight it is in the store. Spawn rate must be ridiculously low.

[subtle quiver]

Glad this help page is still here. Unfortunate that short range spawns can't go back to how they were before November of last year. I also haven't seen a sceli short-range spawn. I also have not come across a draco, rexy, para lux, or oviraptor since they "fixed the issue." (Yes I have been rotating those on the tracker). The only short range I can find anymore is amphicyon, but that common isn't very common.

[rocky kestrel]

I wonder if it would be too much if the short range scent was daily

[kind pendant]

🤤

[high silo]

Short range scent daily?
I'd be able to have Diablo at 21 w/ ability in a week! 🥹

[rocky kestrel]

I suppose i could suggest making it daily, so people can catch up on their short range creature dna from when this issue started

[high silo]

Especially being like 5 / 6 months of them being gone lol

[lethal pewter]

has anyone seen a short range spawn (outside of events or scents) a month after the alleged fix?

subsidiary question does the creature tracker work outside of events or scents?

[rocky kestrel]

I have yes

[rocky kestrel]

It does indeed, the creature tracker has helped me a lot

[lethal pewter]

I saw many for 2 weeks after the fix then for another 3-4 weeks there were some spawns but much less and nothing since then...

[opaque holly]

They do spawn. Most of them seem to spawn way off the road on private property though

[lethal pewter]

I don’t have a habit of breaking and entering, tough luck for me it seems…

[kind pendant]

just a little light trespassing with a side of B&E... lol

[tame silo]

it's not working for me... some but too few compared to one moth ago

[lethal pewter]

i believe they massively reduced the number of short range spawn points

i have none in my town

[elfin spindle]

There only seems to be short range spawns in cities or major roads now. From everything I’ve seen.

[fresh yacht]

I have seen 1 short range spawn after about 2 months (i dont play every day and dont walk around much) and it was where i live which is not a city or a major road
