Now I'm glad I couldn't go!http://mashable.com/2017/07/23/pokemon-go-fest-disaster/?ref=yfp#bzhGY4Mzqaqi
Currently about 17 hours left for +3 candies for catches, 1/3 walking time on eggs (only on new ones started) and buddy candies, double xp and stardust. AND, go raiding for Lapras and Articuno! If one pops up close enough to you and ypu have the time to wait, I would head to it, people will show up. Last night, in my little town, 19 people met up and together we beat Articuno, and with using golden berries, right around *half* of us caught it. Much better than the 2% chance most sites are saying you have, and that was the first raid we had that many people at. only a few knew each other at all, but with 2 hours to beat it, thats plenty of timw for people to spot it and head over.
I did an Articuno raid with 8 other people on Sunday. We got very close to beating it. But timed out right before anyone could get the last hit in.But I did manage to make it to level 30!

I've been reading the stories and it just sounds crazy. I do feel sorry for Niantic -- what a terrible PR disaster -- but they should have done this right. I really don't understand what they're thinking sometimes! At least the attendees definitely get Lugia, store credit, and a refund of at least their ticket. (It's still pretty sad, though, because I think the big event of the day was supposed to be battling Lugia, not just getting Lugia handed to you . . . )

(It's still pretty sad, though, because I think the big event of the day was supposed to be battling Lugia, not just getting Lugia handed to you . . . )My husband and I actually managed to score tickets back when they were on sale, so we ended up going. It was.... pretty bad I think a lot of the problem was that they just never have dealt with THAT large of a crowd before. But I will say that the stories showing up on the internet are leaving out the good. From a software standpoint, the changes that Niantic were able to make so quickly was impressive, and once they widened the radius of the event to two miles away from the park in every direction it helped a LOT. And yeah, the big major event WAS supposed to be everyone battling Lugia in the park. It was supposed to 'be a tough battle, but an easy catch', according to one of the staff members we spoke to. But we didn't miss out on that! They released the Lugia and Articuno raids all around that two mile radius of the city, and IT WAS EPIC! We were running from raid to raid, laughing and talking to other people doing the same thing (the raids started as a few at first and just kept spreading). Almost everyone we talked to said that THAT was what the event should have been, and that at that point everyone was having fun, getting to run around and raid, catch unown and heracross, and explore.Over all we actually had a really good time and a nice little mini vacation, and would do it all over again.
