"Kicking off Sept. 18, "Advent of the Exploration Base" introduces the concept of bases to the game. Niantic Games tested the idea over the summer and incorporated player feedback to improve it. Originally, Exploration Bases were designed to foster more face-to-face interactions with players. Players would grab emblems from their travels and deposit them in a singular spot in a neighborhood. BASE BUILDING It's a combination of postcards, gyms and showcases from "Pokémon Go.""
"As part of the improvements, the developers took into account privacy issues and deleted information from emblems. They also allow players to remotely check in from multiple bases in case players have one they contribute to at work and another one at home. They also added another emblem that credits players for slaying 10 large monsters. Lastly, those who travel will help the effort out more because emblems from farther away have more value in base building."
Advent of the Exploration Base launches Sept. 18, adding Exploration Bases where players collect and deposit emblems to collaboratively build and compete. Development testing over the summer incorporated player feedback and focused on encouraging face-to-face interactions while addressing privacy. Emblem data that could identify players was removed, and remote check-ins are allowed for multiple bases. A new emblem recognizes slaying 10 large monsters, and emblems from farther away contribute greater value. Bases run on three-week cycles with monster outbreaks and an evaluation at the end. Top contributors earn rewards such as item box expansion, and second-anniversary gifts include major item box increases.
