Oh dear, I reacted to your post and I got another warning
Talk about cooldowns!!
Wait you also changed the rewards? I know I didnât make it due to the challenge ending, but the last reward for individual was a lucky trinket for PokĂ©mon go, now itâs gone. Why the change of rewards for the people that DID make the goals?
The rewards changed at the start I believe. The changes during were to make the tiers easier to achieve
Youâve been on a like fest today?
Aparrently!
Just imagine getting an upgrade for hitting the like limit.
Hahaha yes!
I just didnât realise the forum didnât trust me enough to allow me to react to all the posts I want to react toâŠ
Oh dear. I cant at your shared pain because Im now on a 19 minute like cooldown.
Clearly not trustworthy enough to be active during a challenge
There were some technical issues with it.
Maybe thats a stupid question, but i did >100 reviews, if the servers would have been working correctly, it could have been way more, but when will we get rewarded for that?

nvm they cancelled the lucky trinket Global Wayfarer Challenge - #3 by NianticTintino
it was the day the challenge was posted
I started doing these two days ago and wasnât even able to hit 40. I would have done them tonight. So I get nothing? I think the reward threshold should be lowered to anyone who tried to contribute seeing as how awful the experience was. After all, how much does it cost Niantic to give away digital items?
âAll rewards will be distributed between April 24, 2025 and April 30, 2025.â
Are you serious? I had only done 27 because I thought I had more time. I come back to find out the event has ended early???
I only saw the announcement now that the Wayfarer Challenge was wrapped up earlier. I was still trying to catch up on the reviews last night since I was at 300+ something. It was a pity that I might have missed the Tier 3 individual award just because they ended the challenge early. Is it fair to do all of these adjustments without proper communication? The early ending completely messed up my plan.
Welcome to the community. I understand your frustration. The early end of the challenge caught a lot of us by surprise. I took a few hours break yesterday to go and submit a few nominations in hope it would catch the voting queue today. If I had known it was going to end yesterday, I wouldnât have submitted anything yesterday and focused on reviewing. So I completely get the frustration, and hopefully there will be another event in the future where there will be enough to review so people can get the respective targets.
Thanks for the welcome and for sharing your experience. It helped me to know Iâm not alone in feeling this way. I also thought we had more time, so it was disappointing to miss out, especially after putting in the effort. However, I think it is important to express our frustrations within the community and let our voices be heard.
Trust me⊠the Niantic Staff already know the frustrations. But also, some of us appreciated the opportunity to clear the backlog. Whilst I did the reviews with one goal to get the rewards, it was also to get the queue down globally, and also to help get some wayspots in Ingress before the split takes place.
If Tintino doesnât answer anything today, I imagine he pretty much went on vacation and gtfo.
