Pokemon GO Fest's livestream is absolutely must-see
- Thread starter evanmisha
- Start date
the tents became a free for all when their weren't enough beds and stuff. So people were literally jacking tents to stay in even if it was your tent......that whole thing was unreal.
Nice
Shakesporeon is actually amazing. I may steal that one lol

The dude was getting text messages too that you could read and the app crashed on him. It's such a train wreck now that it's delicious. The app has been a barely usable mess from the start and I'm glad they can't always get away with such a shit product.
And judging for the gif of the bottle, their minds too

The hyperbole is strong with this one.
That's what I figured. The game hasn't had these kind of issues probably since around launch and it's only for people at Go Fest. I assume they've been slightly improved since the start of the event though
It's absolutely disgusting that someone threw a bottle, but the general anger seems justified. Pokèmon Go could've been revolutionary, but this is a disaster.
Not "People swimming in piss" disaster or "literally Lord of the Flies" disaster, but TPC, GF, & Nintendo are about to drop the hammer on them.
Me too.

A waste of time and money, considering the people who traveled out of state to the event.
Well they'll refund them travel fees too probably, I think they legally have to.

Someone really hates Israel?
I thought Tumblr was just a site for sharing pictures......
Isn't it really just a one day event where you get to have exclusive access to a few things while doing whatever anyone else with the app can do? It's not like they were going to comic-con
Plus people are getting refunds and $100 of in-game currency. So it's not like it was a complete waste

You think that's going to cover the trip for most people.
I'm tellin ya, they need to send out some Team Rocket cosplayers out there, pretend that they sabotaged the event, then stage some crazy Pokemon battle, then release the legendary from "Team Rocket's clutches" for everyone to catch.
Or do a live performance of that Brother My Brother song from the Pokemon movie to make everyone get all along.

I never said it was going to. Plus I imagine most people were going to do other things besides walk around a park for 8 hours

I don't think that's going to happen, but that would be good. At least the ticket is refunded.

They may actually face a lawsuit because of this. I bet if you accept the 100 you opt out. 
Wow. Nobody is that naive so it has to be incompetence.
This will hurt the brand though, they won't ditch them but there are going to be words for sure.

Once again, demand bites Nintendo on the butt.
And this is a second for Pokemon Go, they never learn, do they?

If the shitshow that was the game's launch didn't hurt the brand, this won't. Especially when most people playing will probably not hear a word about this event

those names.. i can't
Works fine for me.
Perhaps you have a shit phone?
This isn't much to do with Nintendo.
This will hurt nothing. It's just bad publicity for Niantic but nobody that was already playing and paying for Pokemon GO will suddenly stop because one event went to shit. There will surely be consequences inside Niantic, but the brand won't get anything.
We're talking about a game making millions of dollars each day. While you were reading this post, they made several thousands dollars.

Not at all. Not everyone's going to hear about this, lol.
Wow, genuinely disgusting behavior from the audience
I am not saying this will do massive damage to the brand at all, but having a product that has this much quality issues after a year is still not a good look no matter how you look at it.
TPC won't drop Niantic but they will be having a good long talk

That was to be expected. I can't imagine the outcome could have been "lol, you guys suck, no legendaries for you losers", regardless of server issues.
I'm actually surprised they are "real" and not like fake loading gifs or something.
Love that default Unity UI layout lol

Why is that funny? It seems like the logical thing to do.
because the challenges should have just been removed all together with the issues.....no point in them now. Just plan for legendaries to be released at a certain time later and then the global launch of them tomorrow like planned.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

I feel so bad for her.
I guess it's less about the game and more about being social. Meeting up with other Pokémon fans, having fun. And it being an official event makes it feel more special.
