What happened to Ofer2?

edited October 2021 in General

It's been almost a month since @ofer2 last login. I'm getting worried about him. He was the single person of this entire Ingress team who cared about questions Agents asked him. Even @NianticThia doesn't pay attention to pings at this forum - but Ofer did. The only guy to get insights from and talk about technical stuff to, all at once. Please don't tell me that he's no longer with us...

    I hope he just works hard behind the scenes doing his thing.

    That for sure, I'm sure the lag we are suffering is related with migration to Lightship or something like that

    Thank you very much.

    I personally think you're supposed to respond to all topics you've been tagged in. I hardly imagine a "community specialist" who doesn't respond to people trying to reach them on forum. Funny how this worked with Ofer, and there was almost no instance of people tagging him and not getting a response, despite him being far from a role of a Community Specialist - yet this doesn't work for you. Which is why I was worried about him. There's no guarantee that agents tags would reach their destination and have any response from anyone else, including you. Remember that still unanswered open letter?..

    I am tired of "respectfully" and "considerately" talking to a wall, sorry. Asking for communication doesn't work; see if demanding communication works better.

  • Lmao throwing a tantrum and demanding things isn't going to get you anywhere. Hell even the author of the open letter you mentioned agreed with me. If you're tired, then go take a nap!

    Worked for Pokémon GO folks throwing tantrums over 80m distance. 😆

    But yeah, we can’t really demand stuff, and we don’t know the full scope of what’s involved in the Community Specialist role.

    Glad that you guys think everything is totally fine with Niantic's communication with players. I don't. No point arguing with me further, I'd rather see future improvements myself (if there are any).

    For mods, since the topic was responded to by Thia (which I'm thankful for), there's no point in keeping it open. It won't have anything useful but people grumbling at each other.

  • I never said it was fine. What I took issue with was the disrespect you were giving @NianticThia. It was uncalled for. As for the communication with the Agents, in my view they're working on it. Very little communication is better than none at all.

  • @1valdis - I don't want to make assumptions; do you want this thread closed or left open?

    Over the past 9 years we've come accustomed to Nianitc's poor communication. It's pretty much SOP at this point from them.

    I mean, check out this thread

    The length of time to get the poor agent's issue resolved took how many months? And the thread itself was just closed. No outcome was even posted to note that the issue had been solved or not solved. I reached out to the agent over comms to ask if their issue had actually been resolved or not, since the thread didn't even state that it did get resolved (should be a no brainer to note that the issue for the agent had been resolved before closing the thread, now it just looks like support didn't do anything for the agent).


    Hopefully @ofer2 is busy making the game more stable, working on that never ending lagg issue (no one from Niantic has commented on it other than Thia who created the thread) or maybe just working on some lightship integration.

    Closed. Thank you again for your responses. Hoping to see Ofer back from time to time :)
