http://www.pokebeach.com/2017/07/pokemon-go-fest-a-complete-disaster

The consistent levels of incompetence on display from Niantic. Just, oh my god.

Pokemon Go was a gold spinning idea that they have fucked up with time and time again. I have quit playing because I despise the new gym systems but I was hoping this weekend would be good for the people that were interested in Go Fest.

Instead, SAME OLD SERVER ISSUES. Same old being unprepared for the amount of people involved. SAME OLD SAME OLD.

I wonder what Nintendo and The Pokemon Company think about this.

tbh they added raiding recently and I think it's a huge improvement.

Yeah I'm sure they royally screwed the pooch with their Go-Fest event and probably had no idea how to run an event of that magnitude, but the game itself is still completely fine imo.

Between the 3 step issue still being there and the disadvantage you're in being in a smaller town, it's hard for me to have reason to play.

Nexon.


But Pokemon Go is easily the biggest botch up when it comes to potential.

Damn.

I was at the "event" in Chester today and the same thing happened - really bad reception - but it was only like a partner event for Niantic, not one of their officially official ones like GoFest. I thought at GoFest they'd have their act together.

Also since Chicago is going worse that would make Chester the best PoGo event ever

Is it even possible to have a 3G/4G reception when 20k people gather at the same spot and all of them use their cellular data at the same time?

I still don't understand what Pokemon Go Fest is/was supposed to be. Everyone meets up in this one area and... catches Pokemon that the devs spawn there instead of finding them randomly? What was the goal?

It was also a launch for legendary pokemon, and also a setup where people outside the fest could help by catching stuff to give boosts to the people at the fest, who could unlock boosts for everybody

Yeah, Lugia and Articuno are now "live" and can appear as raid bosses at gyms now.

I was at work all day yesterday but I saw lots of people on facebook posting locations of legendary raid battles in fresno. Some people very happy because they took home the legendary, and others very sad that even though they KO'd the pokemon, they weren't able to capture it afterwards.

The game has been extra buggy today, got "Network Error" every time I tried to toss a berry to an Articuno.
