I partyclick every 10-15 minutes of active play until no online users are showing up for me anymore (ie all interactions sorted by activity are shown as sent at least 1 by me). I do this because it hatches eggs very quickly. I then do field clicks to breed eggs/get rus/supplement exp gain when the online list runs out.

---

Edit to say: Party clicks are very useful for me when I'm hatching a high EHP egg that I have a good badge/party bonus for. It's just faster than massclicking to get 1 exp per interaction. However I do only clickbacks/exclusively click fields when I'm hatching <5k ehp or exclusives, otherwise I'm hatching faster than I can breed. I use current 'rus host as a massclick list. I hunt 'rus to gain interaction with my wishforge fields and keep the rest of my fields hidden to encourage more party clicks for me.

I wanted to say something important about newer players and interactions. I was thinking that there should maybe be incentives for older players to interact with newer players parties and fields to help get newer players going if there weren't already incentives. Perhaps more interaction points or credits, perhaps more exp towards ones own party eggs/pokemon. Sorry if this is already a thing and I'm missing it.

I normally don't do field clicks unless in the event of pokerus or someone has nothing in their party.

Like most replies, I mainly use party clicks for the timer. After that, it is much slower to get clicks through parties than through fields, so I only do party clicks to return clicks I got. However, the secondary reason I do party clicks is strictly during Type Races, like Gryh mentioned, to help my team hatch their eggs. During type races I'll intentionally go back go my teammate's parties over and over throughout the day in favor of clicking their fields.

just wanted to give my two cents on this too!!

Like most others, I mainly use party clicks for egg timer and clickbacks (both ways). Sometimes during type race I do go onto a different team's clicklist to get badge progress as well.

for me personally. i have reasons for what motivates me to click. generally: heres my reasons of motivation: overall it could work. but do you have the idea and own suggestion on how to make it work? balancing is gonna be a tough zophan cookie to chew on, but if i know who can do it, then its you Niet. youve been through something similar before, this is not your first rodeo. you can defintly do it. party clicking could be the way forward, but it defintly needs an equalizer. a massive one.

It's too difficult to narrow down the reasons to only 5. Urgh. Frequency of doing each thing can help decide some answers to your poll but doing 10k clicks for MCW on parties alone would be a 20hr playtime nightmare. And maybe I do 1 fossil a month. It's not a big enough reason for choosing in the poll. The main thing is, you can click 10 users for 1 daycare egg (if they all have a full party), or 1.6 fields. A single user with 10 full fields is already giving you more eggs than a 50-long party clicklist. Speaking generally, as there is some RNG going on with lower % pairs and Exclusives/Variants. To get 151 eggs, for max Shelter and Daycare would be 241.6 fields (if you get an egg every time), or 1610.6 full parties. This doesn't consider you might want to release more eggs than you will take, to account for others picking them off or increasing your odds of finding them quickly in the Shelter or instead of someone else's with different stats/natures. It doesn't work for using a red gigaremo because the % drops dramatically the more you click. The gigaremo has its uses in other ways than I'm explaining here. I am also a repeat party clicker. I regularly go back through my VIP list which is full of people who also click me back more than once. And same for going back through my reciprocated list. This is how to get eggs hatched faster. But to make eggs, or farm credits/IP it's slow and unreliable to find full parties or anything new to click. When people have 6 eggs in their party, you get 6 new clicks when they switch, but only 4 or 5 new clicks if they use the family bonus. Over time, this causes party clicks to produce anything except clickbacks even less appealing as you're getting less interactions but going through the same number of users. Party Clicking and Field Clicking are not interchangeable in my opinion.

From these poll options, it kinda seems like Niet is planning to nerf some lesser-used functionalities from fields and buff them in party clicks instead. Things like fossils reviving exclusively via partyclicks, more credits when partyclicking compared to fields, and higher wishforge bonuses from clicking parties. (Already passively implemented since clicking eggs give more points than pokemon and eggs can only be in a party). I'm all for it. As long as he's also keeping the important bits about massclicking (like exp share) more or less intact I hope. Give people as many reasons to partyclick as massclick I say, but keep massclicking as a viable exp/IP/credit gain option.

I was gonna say, I found it interesting that "charging the egg timer" wasn't an option, as it's the bulk of why I used to do party interactions in the first place. But I suppose it does only work on parties, and the daily interaction goal gets you very close to finishing it regardless, so it probably doesn't make a huge difference. I used to just get the egg timer to 10, then massclick friends fields the rest of the day, until I decided to make a mass clicklist my first time leading TR. I clicked literally everybody online for a day and a half seeing who was fire, and I started going through my eggs so fast from clickbacks I was stunned at the difference LOL. Now I'm getting back into the swing of frequently clicking everyone online. It helps a ton, party clicks are already pretty strong things! I do wish it was more common practice. (Maybe if the fact that you could open 50 users at once was less "buried?" but idk) All that aside, leveling wishforge through clicking is the second most important thing for me aside from just hatching eggs. I thought about putting it equal in the last poll, but yyyeah I couldn't commit to voting that. Egg interaction gives more, but it'd be really hard to make sure you're clicking people with only X type of egg unless you just made a clicklist yourself of whoever is hatching that egg. Meanwhile, users with large type hoards for clicking are pretty well-documented / not hard to come across. So even if it's less points per interaction, you can chuck something on the background and get grinding. (If here's not the place, I apologize. But the above is also why I think it'd really suck to nerf exp boosts from applying to fields. It's super nice to make controlled progress on wishforge while also giving my eggs exp boost. That and also how is anyone going to legend hunt- /lh)
