Pokemon Go fans want massive change to Raid Battles
On February 17, Redditordiegovalwoomyposted his idea for changes to the raid battle interface in the game, and many others want it to be added.
“If there are other players in Raids near your area, there should be a small icon of how much time left there is and how many players are in the raid lobby,” he said.
In the picture, you can see icons over each of the raids that show green, yellow, or red depending on the amount of time left in the lobby and shows how many people are currently waiting.
“That’s an excellent idea, the interface is as simple as it should be. I hope Niantic notices you,” one user replied.
Another user said: “Useful idea for remotes, but the thing is, Niantic wants people to raid in person. Putting those numbers there doesn’t help since you wouldn’t be able to get to the gym in time.”
However, some others have expressed concerns about latency with the timers.
“I guess one potential problem with this would be the latency of the system. You’d generate a lot of traffic, checking the status of all gyms in the vicinity, and this would happen for every player present,” one player commented.
