So far I'm ok with the friends I have. I just wish there was a better way to find local players so I can have help in some of the fortress, not to mention help out
@J4F0 two options, besides searching here, come to mind, introducing yourself at inns and fortresses where people are active and looking for a local Facebook group.
When local events start happening you will get a chance to interact with more local people.
Nobody ever seems to be at the local inns and fortresses when I'm there and I've only found 3 or 4 others on another site that posted to be near the town near .
I wanted to edit(but it won't let me) to say those are great suggestions and I will look for FB and other groups for my area. My area just happens to cover a number of local counties so it's quite large with a spread out population so I think that makes it harder, unfortunately.
Since it is a university town, I will hopefully see more players as students come back into town.
I am lost on the friends code. What is it for? The only other Niantic game I play is Ingress so I am clueless.
@GLENUENDO it's a numerical code used to associate your account with someone else's. Other than seeing their level and the last thing they captured, I don't see much else. Maybe in the future, but that just speculation.
If you click on their banner (in your friends list), it opens up their profile, @RussellFaraday
You also get XP bonuses for battling with friends in fortresses.
I created a local Facebook group for the two counties I play in and pinned this post at the top "Please include number that can be copied and pasted, your name in the game and which county you primarily play in." I think it'll be helpful as the game progresses.
Im only adding people I meet locally. With a limited capacity of only 200 friends and the bonus you get to Challenge Family XP, you will want to make sure you only have locals in the long run.
