258. What A Disaster

Where to begin! This last week was not positive for community sentiment! While the Festival of Colors event was well received, a disastrous Elite Raid showing diminished any positivity that the community at large had in them. Elite Raids were plagued by connection issues, bugs, glitches, and crashes. It was a stress and anxiety filled Raid event, and the majority of Trainers left feeling terrible about the game and their experience. Timing couldn’t have been worse for Niantic as they had just released a blog post confirming their commitment to real world play. 

 

What will Niantic need to do in order to get out of this hole? For sure they will need to make good on the event, but also show us they can release a product that functions properly on a consistent basis. The optimist in us hopes that the Let’s GO and Team GO Rocket Takeover events go off without a hitch. They look to be VERY promising and cover the gamut of gameplay disciplines so every Trainer will have a chance to take part.

 

We wrap things up with a Lugia Raid Guide and Battle Party! While we have a little bit of time before Lugia arrives, it typically brings Raiders out to get down. Be prepared and put together a party with us!
