Pokémon Go Festival in Chicago SOLD OUT in two minutes

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 10:11 AM PDT

Edit6: 2:05pm I got a notification that PokemonGO tickets were on sale. They've been sold out for a while if looking at the Twitter tweet. Hahahahaha. What a joke.

Edit5: 1:21pm central. Appears tickets are officially sold out.

Edit4: 12:55pm central, Tickets are still available! For those that get in with a short timer, "Continue as guest" will skip creating the account. Takes about a 30s-1min to check out!

Edit3: 12:49pm central, people are still getting in and getting tickets! Keep trying, may take lots of refreshes!

(Original Post) Website didn't start showing ticket availability until 12:04 pm central. General admission tickets showing unavailable at 12:06pm.

I never even got past the loading/busy screen for buying tickets. (End Original Post)

Edit: 12:16pm central, they may be releasing tickets every couple of minutes, keep trying. I got in but it only gave me 25s to checkout. Can't edit the title, tickets are still being sold!

Edit: 12:38pm central, Keep trying! It looks like people are having anywhere between 30 seconds an 8 minutes to check out! The people showing shorter check out timers probably aren't getting notified it's in their cart already.

[Art] You won't be able to defeat them alone... it's time to band together!

Solo players: are you worried?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 02:56 PM PDT

I'm worried about not being able to really participate in raids. Looks so cool! But I play alone and I rarely see other players anymore when I play

Concerning tickets to future events. We will not allow selling, trading or requesting of tickets on this sub.

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:47 PM PDT

ALL COMMENTS ABOUT PURCHASING SELLING OR TRADING TICKETS FROM A THIRD PARTY WILL BE REMOVED AND BANNED UNTIL AFTER THE EVENT. INCLUDING POSTS COMPLAINING ABOUT SCALPERS THAT NAME SITES OR LINK TO THEM IN AN EFFORT TO CALL THEM OUT.

We do not support scalping or anything similarly related to it. The only way we as a community can prevent scalping, is to refuse to use their services.

We already have rules in place against selling items via this sub, but given the nature of the tickets for this event we have expanded those rules to clearly cover event tickets.

Given the nature and apparent desperation of users to get tickets, there will be no second chances or warnings concerning this.

There will be a stickied post about this in the future, but the stickies are tied up with official news. This post is made in an effort to remain transparent for future actions.

Megathread - Gym and Raid Update

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 06:29 AM PDT

Official Niantic post.

Video form

Summary:

  • Gyms will now also give items like Pokestops.

  • Prestiging has been removed entirely.

  • CP no longer determines the order of battle - it's now "in the order they were assigned to the Gym."

  • A new motivation system has been implemented:

  1. This will decay over time, and is reduced every time it is defeated. When it is reduced, the CP will be lowered so it is easier to defeat. When it reaches zero, it "faints" and returns to the player.

  2. You can treat Pokemon of your team with berries to recover the motivation - not only yours.

  • Gyms now give Gym Badges, unique per gym. You level this by battling, feeding, or spinning in the gym. Higher gym badge level will give you increased items and rewards at said gym.

  • Raid Battle Feature:

  1. You need a Raid Pass to participate. You can get one a day (non-cumulative) in gyms, or buy a pack of premium raid passes.

  2. These involve battling "raid bosses", powerful (AI) Pokemon in gyms, with up to 20 players. If you can defeat it within 5 minutes, you'll have the chance to catch an extra powerful Pokémon of your own!

  • New Items: Obtained only by beating raid bosses, they are:
  1. Rare Candies. See this as a "wildcard" candy - can be changed to any Pokemon's.

  2. Golden Razz Berries. Like Razz Berries, but better.

  3. Technical Machines (Fast/Charged): Permanently teach a Pokemon a new Fast/Charged attack.

Spoofers will be heros to the rural player.

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 01:49 PM PDT

So you're in little town USA with just one gym and suddenly a raid opportunity happens at the gym. It's a 30,000 cp Tyranitar but you are all alone and no way you can solo it.

But riding to the rescue are the spoofers, in a few minutes they fill up your attack team 5 3,300 cp Dragonites and together you all take down the boss. Yippee! Special prizes and gym slots for everyone!

I'm just sayin.....

[IDEA] List the infinite incubator first if it is empty. ALWAYS

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 09:16 AM PDT

I cannot tell you how many times I have been trying to scroll to the infinite incubator and the game has mistaken my scrolling for my selecting a purchased incubator as the one I want to incubate an egg. This is very frustrating because I definitely did NOT want to incubate that 2 km egg in an expensive disposable incubator.

We'll be temporarily disabling Gyms in a few hours, Trainers. Make sure to claim your Defender bonus soon.

Niantic used inaccurate/dated OSM source for spawnpoint filtering this time around [Complaint]

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 04:45 PM PDT

It appears anyone who didn't have spawns sometime last year because of mis-tagged OpenStreetMap (OSM) zones, whom fixed that by correcting OSM, have lost their spaws entirely.

Investigating similarly marked zones (CSU Channel Islands vs CSU Chico) show that it isn't just that Niantic decided University Grounds would be filtered out - rather they reverted the filtering to an older, less accurate source

much to the detriment of players on the unfortunate universities/hospitals/etc

someone at niantic please fix this. (/u/nianticgeorge /u/nianticindigo)

if your enjoyment has been lessened by this, please upvote for visibility.

GYM UPDATE: Gyms will still award PokeCoins

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 06:46 AM PDT

Thought it was an important point that was raised and multiple people have been wondering, so thought it deserved its own thread to get people informed. From the megathread:

  • reasonableoption 30 points 29 minutes ago:

I don't see any mention of earning coins the same way for being in gyms. There's no way they'd do away with that right?

  • NianticIndigoNIANTIC SUPPORT 2 points a minute ago

Great question, reasonableoption. A Pokémon will earn PokéCoins based on how long it defends a Gym. Once its motivation meter is empty and it's defeated in battle, it will return to its Trainer and come back with PokéCoins.

PokeFest tickets were sold out before Niantic even sent out a push notification. A bit of a pointless notification, no?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 12:00 PM PDT

It's like the launch all over again, Niantic completely underestimates the popularity and doesn't have enough resources to handle it.

So what's the plan, boys? Do we buy the $200 tickets on eBay?

Why I never grinded for the Ace Trainer medal

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:28 PM PDT

Let me preface this by saying I'm well aware that it's my fault I didn't finish the Ace Trainer Medal prior to today. I'm just disappointed that now I'll never get the chance to.

Pokemon Go Is a long term game for me. There are at the minimum 5 more generations to be released. With that mindset I've never felt the need to grind for anything. Sometimes I've wanted to for fun, or to reach that next level, but I didn't really ever feel forced to. When it came to the gym medals I figured I'd simply get them over time since I knew I'd be playing this game until it was no longer supported and maybe even after that. So today, I'm both pumped for this new update and disappointed that I'll never be able to complete the game in my eyes. An interesting feeling to say the least.

A bunch of you will see this as me whining, but I also know there are a bunch of you who feel exactly like I do. I don't expect Niantic's stance on this to change at all. At least there's a bunch of new content to be excited about.
