So… Friday our city was hit with a cell rebalancing and we had tens of POI removed. Let me just say this in advance: all (or at least 95% of them) were legit POIs and not misplaced
We’ve had cells with more than one POI, but this rebalancing also hit cells with just one. The problem is that since Friday nothing has changed, and all the cells affected remain empty.
We’ve discussed the possibility of starting to nominate again what was possible, but sadly there’s an incongruence between the wayfarer map and the nomination map. The wayfarer side reflects what the available POIs are at the moment, but on the nomination side (in voting too) every POI that has been removed still appears as if it is still in the game.
To create a complete list of what has disappeared would require much time and research, but will try to do it if necessary. I simply wanted to ask whether we can expect something to reappear on the empty cells, or if there is a time frame for us to be able to nominate certain things that disappeared but seems to still be in the game on the nomination/ voting map.
I’ll leave the coordinates of our city centre in case someone is kind enough to look into it: 46.193282,9.024237
Based on what we have seen when this has happened in other places, the Wayspots temporarily disappear from the map while they are being ‘reset’, and then appear a few days later. When they re-appear, they will follow the correct game density rules for Pokemon Go.
This happens in area where there are clusters of Pokestops/Gyms which do not follow normal game density rules.
You do not need to resubmit anything. The Wayspots are still live in the database, as evidenced by the fact that they appear on the nearby duplicates list when you go to submit.
Wait a few days and the Wayspots should appear in-game again.
When submitting (and reviewing) you are shown every wayspot regardless of whether it is used in Pokemon Go or not - this is standard and occurs everywhere. These wayspots still exist, so resubmissions would be marked as duplicate.
The game just synced and many Pokestops came back. Can’t say if it’s all of them. The Wayfarer map also updated and shows them, but they’re still white (red: in the game, white: not in the game) so it’s not completely done.
