Posted July 24, 2017 It seems that during the Pokemon go fest in Chicago the servers were not working, users were not able to play the game leaving many fans out raged Niantic at first issued a refund of 100 dollars of in-game currency but later offered a full refund of 20 dollars for the wrist bands. http://fortune.com/2017/07/22/servers-failing-pokemon-go-fest/ My Rig i7-5930k @ 3.5GHz ~ Gigabyte G1 gaming 980ti ~ 32GB gskillz ripjaws 4 DDR4 ~ NZXT Kraken x61 AIO water cooler ~ Corsair AX1200i PSU (over kill I know) ~ Seagate 2TB + 1TB HDD ~ SanDisk 120GB SSD + Samsung 256 850 evo ~ Asus x99-deluxe MOBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokemon GO is basically Ingress with a Nintendo skin, so I wasn't surprised at all how much they failed. Millions of people still play it, so hard to say that they failed after all this time. From what I initially read, it wasn't servers that weren't working, but the setup they were supposed to have for WiFi wasn't working for people in the area. Apparently, only people with Sprint as their carrier had coverage that was adequate enough to play the game, and some people were able to get Pokemon just outside the park on the perimeter. I don't play the game, but it's kind of sad that this whole effort was essentially for naught. I didn't think it was on a popularity level to even have an event like this until I read about it a few days before it was set to happen. Disappointing for those community members to have this happen. My Classifieds Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the technical side was clearly not prepared for a "LIVE ACTION POKEMON GAME". This wasn't a flash-in-the-pan hit; this was always going to be a sure-fire Hit after it was proposed. However, it was also put into the hands of not great Devs and that was the main failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its downfall were the technical issues, this is why i stopped playing. Sadly in my city some mothers and children stopped playing when some young men were getting aggressive over territory, so maybe not so great in that aspect of the game. ☼ ψ ︿_____︿_ψ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 25, 2017 This is not purely Niantic's fault. The server issue were probably from users connecting half way or retrying non-stop due to a shit data signal. This is mostly the carriers as network congestion was too much not only for the people at the event, but people in the area trying to use data as well. And to the people saying "well niantic should of worked with the carriers or added their own wireless", this was still a big event with 20k people. There is still a main weakness of WIFI and 4G, time slots. Wifi would of helped but would of been clogged just as fast but there really isnt much they could have done to make this better other than spread it out.
