Reminder, challenge rewards will start to go out today and continue to be distributed for 2 weeks. All rewards should be distributed by June 5, 2024.
Yep, still the case. Amazon Prime members in the US get free codes often, and they do have to be redeemed via the web store link.
I believe that this was done because iOS users weren’t able to redeem codes in-game, only Android users could, so they just made all users, regardless of OS, use the web store link.
Well, now that the Challenge ended is the time to give my honest opinion:
I’m happy that, independently of all the things I had to do (personal and Ambo stuff) I made it to be in the Leaderboard with 5000 reviews, that’s 1000 more than my past record and I’m happy with the result!
We had more bugs than never and it made of this Challenge a very bad experience for a lot of explorers, including me. As Ambassador I have my mind calm knowing I tried everything to solve it, but sometimes there are things one don’t have the ability to fix them. It was a little bit disappointing to see how these common bugs that are present in every Challenge weren’t fixed in any moment and we had to live with them during all the Challenge. I know a lot of explorers that decided to stop reviewing due to the bugs. Also, in my honest opinion an extension or at least any reward for all the explorers should be the minimum to express any type of regret by Niantic, but it seems we won’t get anything for that.
I’m seeing 3765 explorers reached the tier 3 individual rewards, that’s a huge number. I’m proud of all you, the ones that made it and the ones they didn’t. All of you gave your best
This Challenge ends for me with a bitter savour. A lot of things could have been worked in a different way but they didn’t. I expect the following one (if we have more in the future) goes highly better than this one.
Thank you all the people who read this, I will see you in the forum, exploring or in a future Challenge
First time hitting the Top 10! Ironically I’ve done more reviews for this challenge than I ever have my entire time on Wayfarer before it. Well done to everyone who contributed to this challenge!
I’m not worried about. And I’m sure that you do a fantastic job as a reviewer
Rejected nominations stay “mine”. Secret locations, that’s not to bad.
One case makes me a bit .
I wanted to add a description where nothing was. Research, research, write a good text, go to the POI, want to add it - and it was to long
On my screen the text was cutted at a point and I think “ok, could be better, but…”, submit.
And than the piiiiiiep machine, cutted my text on a different point
As we all know you can’t edit an edit or delete it, so I decide to submit the text cutted after a full sentence.
But the community decided it would be better to take a half text
If you ever open your gift I’ll send you what I mean.
