On Saturday, most players (\u201ctrainers,\u201d as they call themselves) found themselves unable to connect their devices to the server for at least two hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe event was a total nightmare yesterday, and I couldn\u2019t log in,\u201d tweeted @AngelShTuSabes on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Pok\u00e9mon STOP<\/h2>\n
Though 50,000 tickets were sold for the Pok\u00e9mon GO Tour: Hoenn \u2013 Las Vegas, a \u201clarge amount of nonticketed trainers arrived\u201d and overloaded the system, according to a statement from Niantic, developer of Pok\u00e9mon Go and organizer of the event. Tickets cost $30 per day, with two optional $15 add-ons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe apologize for the gameplay issues,\u201d read an update posted by Niantic on Saturday to pokemongolive.com<\/em>. \u201cWe appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNiantic is trolling people at this point by ignoring people’s calls,\u201d Twitter<\/em> user @mewing_gum replied. \u201cTheir words never turn into actions.\u201d<\/p>\n As compensation, the company extended its Saturday play by three extra hours, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and included additional Primal Pok\u00e9mon encounters and a free bundle of raid passes. These allow Pok\u00e9mon players (\u201ctrainers\u201d) to battle one another in virtual arenas called Pok\u00e9mon gyms.<\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon Go, created in 2016, is an augmented reality game for mobile devices in which players catch and battle Pok\u00e9mon characters and other trainers they see superimposed by the game over real-world places. You can usually spot a live Pok\u00e9mon game by its telltale sign: a dozen or more people slowly walking in circles in a park, or parking lot, looking through their devices as though they are videoing something.<\/p>\n Though Niantic claimed on Twitter<\/em> to have \u201ctaken steps to secure connectivity for Sunday\u2019s session,\u201d problems marred Sunday\u2019s gameplay as well.<\/p>\n \u201cRayquaza raid hour in Las Vegas would be cool if the raids worked,\u201d tweeted @Home SliceHenry on Sunday. \u201cFix your game.\u201d<\/p>\n Niantic claimed to have resolved that issue and extended the hours of its second day\u2019s event as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m genuinely curious,\u201d tweeted @RTG Dallas \u201cIs there ever a Niantic representative at these events? I don’t remember seeing\/hearing of one at GO Fest Seattle last year or this one. They’d probably be attacked by the players, but I believe that that would be a good start to showing you care.\u201d<\/p>\n To be fair, many players reported no problems with connectivity and gave props to event organizers.<\/p>\n \u201cPok\u00e9mon GO Tour: Hoenn in Las Vegas was a blast!\u201d tweeted @PeteZaStromboli. \u201cMet some legendary content creators, hauled 45 shinies, and made many great memories!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thousands of ticket holders who descended on Las Vegas for a Pok\u00e9mon Go Live! event this weekend found themselves battling connectivity issues instead of each other.
