With the unreasonable queue times to review a records, I’ve been able to review only 340 records in the last 3 days, dedicating hours upon hours of my time. At this point it’s almost impossible for me to each the 500 for the Super Rocket radar reward, which I feel is unfair to the time I’ve put towards this event.
I believe the event should be extended by another 3-5 days, because something has got to give. So many players like me are getting screwed over by the ridiculous waits between records.
I could not agree with you more. I spent an hour last night just to get 2 reviews. There is something seriously going wrong with the site during this event. It is a tough squeeze to get 500 reviews done in a week when the site is functioning 100%.
I do not know why they are trying to make this event only 1 week.
As you say, with a lot of effort and hours, I’ve reached 320, and 500 seems unattainable in the last four days. Due to the errors, they should extend the deadline, perhaps. This will happen, probably not. All that’s left is to enjoy the journey.
They have only made it a week because they are trying to get through the backlog before Niantic Spatial splits from Wayfarer. Effectively any wayspots not done prior to then is unlikely to appear in Ingress.
Beng we are very close to hitting tier 3 for community rewards with a little over a day and a half to go, I don’t think this will get extended. Many who were not able to hit 500 reviews over the weekend were able to do so today, including myself. I’m going to slow down and let others review, so they can get to 500, and we hopefully can get to tier 3 for community rewards, too.
Yes, there were problems with the event, such as having it over a holiday weekend, not fully knowing where to go to help clear out the queue, the lag issues that have happened with past challenges, etc. However, we as a community are hitting the targets, so again, it most likely won’t be extended, but hopefully lessons will be learned for the future.
I feel they haven’t communicated this event very well. I saw no announcement of it in the Pokemon Go in-game news tab. I only found out about it through Reddit on Friday night.
I think that “all done for now” really mean it. At least in that area. All my nomination from before event ald completed even though its 3-4 months back. So who ever didnt reach 500 need extra work to find which country still have nomination. Although i believe scopely/niantic could make this process easier if reviewer know which place still have nomination. One of my 7 submission on 20th april went into voting and ald approved. The other 6 still in queue though
The challenge lets you change your location to anywhere. If you’re getting all done messages and long load times, try switching to another region. China has endless submissions to churn through, I didn’t hit a single cooldown message on my way to 500 and it was pretty fast.
