Trace charm bug

I just used my trace charm on Hagrid (emergency trace) but only 2 further traces appeared. Why is that? I usually get 8 new traces or so. I’ve closed and opened the app twice to no avail.

@JollyLaullie It's not a bug. It's the new intended behavior of the Trace Charm. 😣
With the newest fix it will spawn mostly low threat level foundables, just one or two that are as high as the one it's cast on.
Same happened to me. Plus the fact that last night I could not even apply trace charm on Emergency Trace!
LET'S RAISE A # !
#BringRareTracesBack
Let's fill the official channels with it 1 hour before the Wizarding Weekend starts to show our disappointment with the "bug fix"...
SPREAD THE WORD!
I am having the same issue. Will give me two emergency foundables and the a bunch of sparkling randon regular level foundables. Hope this is not a deliberate switch in game play after all the work to get books for all the upgrade on the trace charm. I had this happen 3 times yesterday with trace charm use.

I see a few other posts saying this change is on purpose.
@LunaGemMaker - it IS deliberate. And once again Niantic just does not care what their players want. It honestly seems like some kind of social experiment: "How badly can we mess this game up before we get a mass exodus of players? If we keep taking things away and giving little to nothing back, will the players stay or go?".
What garbage!! All those books to get more trace charms and now they pull this. This game used to be fun with a proper amount of challenge. Now... not so much.
I agree. Utter **** move on their part. All those books to get the boosts on the charm, and they pull this? I spend more than I care to admit between this and POGO, and it's almost like the two are in competition to see who can **** players the hardest without losing them. I'm still not getting boosted fragments, either. It says I do at the top count, but at the bottom and in the registry, I still only get one most of the time. C'mon Niantic. Get it together and at least pretend you care about your players.
I’m seeing the same thing and am very upset by it. I can understand not giving me six Fluffys like before. That may have been more than they intended, but they should at least keep the new traces at the same level or higher as the one you used the charm on. Today I used my TC on a severe Unicorn and got another severe Unicorn and an emergency Newt Scamamder, but then got four lower level ones that I see ALL THE TIME. That’s unacceptable based on how hard we work to get the charms and how rare they are. I’ve opened 42 trunks (and still counting) since my last TC. Before the “fix” I was getting a TC roughly every 10-18 trunks.
Niantic giveth and Niantic taketh away...
The OP-ed Trace Charm was fun while it lasted. At level 60 it's actually was my highlight of the day to fill up my screen with 7 red severes, grabbing the books and hoping for the Trace Charm to reset to have another go...
Yes it was OP-ed compared to all the other options in SOS trees. And to taketh it away without proper communication BEFORE the server update wasn't a smart move. It actually should have been less powerful from the beginning. Then again, not as weak as its current implementation. The amount of normal spawns.... pfff.... I just ignore them.
This Trace Charm update/nerve exploded all over this community forum. Topics are being closed, but the The Charming resurvises in new topics. We've seen these mistake before... and before. Remember the update just before the release of the SOS trees. Suddenly we had strange numbers that were some form of placeholders for the upcoming SOS/Combat XP. This should never reach the eye of the end-users/players. And we all remember the do-over of the Registry and failing to re-apply the correct player's progress. The list goes on and on and stacks on the list of (still unsolved) bugs...
I hope Niantic will seriously consider changing their way of development and sync it with their communications to the community. Either look into test-driven development or at least... improve your software testing! I (as a software developer) really dislike how Niantic publishes new (and clearly untested!) functionality to the production environments. I think this is a slap into the face of your players that put quite some money into this game (call me stupid, but I have spent 4 figures so far).
Get your act together Niantic!
Niantic - What about changing at least some of the trace charme courses in the skill tree to "Get +1 high level foundables". Couldn't that be a compromise?
NO , that’s not an acceptable compromise. I believe they have also ratcheted back the # of additional trace charm rewards significantly. Before deleting my account I just spent a whole day **** on emergency foundables to see where things stood an I did not receive a SINGLE reward of an additional trace charm!!! After prioritizing the trace charm related tasks I now ALSO have FIVE USLESS trace charm slots that I am now convinced it will be impossible to fill! I am SO MUCH upset about the wasted spell books on both the charm AND the rewards than the nerfed feature!!! When the SOS trading was released I decided any spell books And DOLARS spent solely for the inn and greenhouse charms and associated rewards were pretty wasted and haven’t activated them unless fired to in order to get some other task (still haven’t either.) now the Trace charm is almost as useless as the others. I WANT MY SPELL BOOKS OR MONEY BACK!
