Yeah, I know I'm scraping the barrel now... :o But at least you get an earworm.

Still just keeping up the streaks, but yesterday I HATCHED A SNORLAX. That's No2, and I have 40 Snorlax candy.

I get it re grinding up Pikachus, it just feels wrong. I do it though, 'cos I'm heartless. Wink

Wouldn't there be a proof of your gps location from attempted sign ins and just all the other background tracking that they do?

So those who were attending the event in Chicago have all been given $100 pokecoins, their ticket money refunded and a legendary added to their pokedex. Do you think they'll do anything for all the people who went to Chester!? (I doubt it and how would you prove it?).

Bimblesalong · 23/07/2017 00:01

Thanks for the info re the legendaries. Had popped back into Chester, hoping that with fewer people the signal might be less awful. It wasn't. Hope people aren't too disappointed tomorrow in the city.

You know what, for such a highly anticipated event, it sure was a giant let down. Niantic's never-ending network problems are also annoying, especially considering that they want people to actually buddy up and work together on defeating pokemon.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/07/2017 23:08

Woot! Grin

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/07/2017 23:06

It depends on the requirements for a legendary Raid pass. In the trailer there was 48 hour countdown for a legendary Raid...

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 22:58

Lol. It'll be good though, the next couple of days :)

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/07/2017 22:54

Surprise surprise 😂

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 22:51

Also, every single bonus on offer has been unlocked, all for 48 hours.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 22:50

Results

As expected, Lugia is released! And will be obtainable via raids from 2 moro. Articuno will be next, dont know when.

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/07/2017 22:25

Niantic have been caught changing the challenge scores to meet thresholds so think we'll get the bonus,

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 22:13

Does anyone actually understsnd how the crappy scoreboard they flashed up on the livestream works at all?

I know the worldwide players have to get to gold to unlock the 'mystery challenge' and in the meantime, rack up 48 hours worth of bonuses (which the cynic in me think would have magically happened whether 1 or 1 billion pokemon were caught because otherwise, what's the point of the whole thing) but on the scoreboard I saw, it was rating the Grant Park type-caught pokemon by bronze, silver and gold too. So does only the gold type count? Or the one with themost catches? In which case, why bother with the medals rating at all? Does anyone know how many of these bonuses can be unlocked? 1? 3? Theoretically all?

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/07/2017 20:36

Also, it's only the one legendary I believe, Bimblesalong; the one that appears in Chicago.

Which rumours state will be Articuno.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/07/2017 20:34

Bimblesalong The legendary will be released first in Chicago, and they're behind us so it will be before the 9pm curfew for them.

If they defeat it, the same legendary will start appearing in gyms around the world from tomorrow morning (Sunday) to Monday night.

Bimblesalong · 22/07/2017 20:31

Although iirc, they are not having raids after 9pm, unless it's different for this event.

Bimblesalong · 22/07/2017 20:30

What time do they release the legendaries if the target has been hit?

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/07/2017 20:13

We've hit silver! One more challenge window to go!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 20:10

Livestream is back

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 20:06

What thousands? Grin

I'm following it on a couple of sub Reddits and it seemed the second window was stopped halfway through although I don't know for sure.

cottonwool125 · 22/07/2017 20:05

I can't get over how poorly handled this event has been!

From reading online, it looks like a lot of players haven't even been able to get into the park yet.

Sure they'll get their ticket refunded, but what about those players that have paid a hell of a lot of money on flights or trains to get there? Feel for them. I would have been so excited to go, to have it pan out the way it has must be gutting Sad

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 22/07/2017 20:03

But then, I think the event is over now. People are getting refunded their tickets, and getting 100 dollars worth of pokecoins credited.

It's not over. It's still going on; people are just getting their tickets refunded and pokecoins if they can't connect.

That doesn't effect the thousands of people that are having no issues.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 22/07/2017 20:01

In Grant Park, where it matters right now, niantic will have control over spawns, so they'd hopefully equal it out.

But then, I think the event is over now. People are getting refunded their tickets, and getting 100 dollars worth of pokecoins credited.

Disaster.

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/07/2017 20:00

Apparently the Mystic tent is near water and Mystic is outnumbering the other teams today. 😡

eyebrowsonfleek · 22/07/2017 19:59

People at the Chicago Fest are getting their ticket refunded and $100 in Pokécoins.
