News Pokemon GO Fest 'A Complete Disaster'
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
i didn't know 20,000 people even still played POKÉMON GO?
Blaming TPC/i for Niantic's incompetence is like blaming Valve for this; http://steamed.kotaku.com/pro-counter-strike-and-dota-2-event-turns-into-complete-1729355937

Like it's completely asinine to blame TPC/i for the amount of incompetence shown in Chicago
Who made the game and adds patches to it? Who owns the servers and therefor performs maintenance on them? Who organized the event? Who sold the tickets? Who had not enough people at the 'gate' to let players into the event, causing people to stand in line for hours? Whose CEO and CMO showed up on stage? Whose to blame for this fiasco?
The answer to all these questions is.......NIANTIC.

K, can you all stop arguing about this? Does it matter?
Plus, Niantic handled it well with their apology giftthough it should still be preferred to have a functioning server. And yes, the one legendary I was hoping we'd be able to catch is one we'll be getting! I'll be sure to get an Articuno at some point!

*chuckles* same.
It kind of does matter when you go about wrongly blaming an entity for something that they weren't involved with in the slightest.
Not once in the case that I linked did anyone with more than a child's comprehension level blame Valve for how horrendous of a tournament "Gamers Paradise" was. All the blame was rightfully placed onto the company and people in charge of said company that put that shit show together.
No. Nothing fraudulent happened her
I just saw on the Verge that all attendees had a Lugia added to their account. I don't play this game but that sounds like something good!
Like, is it only within 48 hours we can get them - or can we just run into them anytime now as a raid, without a time limit?
We need better details than this.

This is actually a question I've been asking myself. There were rumors that's how it would be, but Niantic is doing everything on a whim after the Go Fest disaster. I'd say just don't be surprised if they both disappear within the next couple of days. Which would suck, since I'm still missing Articuno.
I honestly hope that's not the case. My roommate and I are close to a lot of gyms so her and I have been checking our Pokemon Go regularly cause we're not going to go blindly looking for Raids. It'd be such a waste of our day.
Just because nother fraudulent happened doesn't mean the couldn't be financially responsible for costs people paid to attend this event. If their is enough circumstancial evidence that Niantic didn't do what was necessary to make sure that the event could actually take place (which it certainly doesn't seem like they did) then they could be held financially responsible for covering peoples costs to attend.
How about since last Friday, I can't log in past the age verification screen to play it via logging in through Google, but my Trainer account works fine if I wanted to start one? UGH. Imagine how mad I would be if I had gone to this AND couldn't log into my account.
Everyone that showed up received a refund and $100 in pokecoins, while I can imagine that attendants are still upset, but if anyone tried to sue, a judge would toss the case out.
wait! Lugia is Water-type in Poke GO?! Niantic messed up everything. Hey, Niantic, Lugia is Psychic/Flying
