Summary
- Pokemon GO fans hesitant to buy GO Fest ticket due to unclear shiny chances in Eggs-travaganza event.
- Community unhappy with recent events like Aquatic Paradise and Larvesta fiasco.
- Niantic faces criticism as GO Fest 2024: Global approaches, with fans hoping for improvements.
Pokemon GO fans are reluctant to buy the GO Fest ticket early and are urging others to do the same, as the Eggs-travaganza event doesn't specify by what amount the shiny chances are increased in 7km eggs. The Eggs-travaganza event was recently announced by Niantic exclusively for Pokemon GO players who bought the GO Fest 2024: Global ticket.
While the GO Fest is one of the most anticipated events of the year for Pokemon GO fans, things haven't been going well for Niantic lately. For instance, the Aquatic Paradise in Pokemon GO drew a lot of flak from the community for its potential change to event spawns. Now it seems like fans are unhappy about yet another event.
Pokemon GO Reveals Ultra Unlock Details for GO Fest 2024
Niantic reveals new details about the upcoming Ultra Unlock event for Pokemon GO Fest 2024, which requires players to first meet a certain goal.
In a new post on the Pokemon GO subreddit, user Entire_Pineapple4732 reveals why players should refrain from buying the GO Fest ticket early. The user posted a picture of the newly announced Eggs-travaganza event, highlighting that although the event promises increased chances of getting shiny Pokemon from 7km eggs in Pokemon GO, there are no numbers stated, which makes things quite dubious. Stating that long-time players would be well aware of this fact given prior experiences, they warn newcomers to be wary of the event.
Pokemon GO Fans Circle Back To Larvesta Fiasco
Other Pokemon GO fans echoed similar sentiments, with many recalling the Larvesta fiasco in Pokemon GO. Many players have been eagerly looking forward to hatching Larvesta for a while now, but they have been in for a disappointment. While many expected the debut of the shiny variants of Larvesta and Volcarona would somewhat improve their odds, it still turned out to be a nightmare for players. Some players even ended up hatching over 50 eggs without getting a Larvesta, which is quite a lot considering how long it takes.
This is the second event in a row that has irked the fanbase. The highly anticipated return of Mega Rayquaza as part of Elite Raids didn't go down well in the community as well. Initially, fans were unhappy that the free Meteorite in Pokemon GO was tied to a TikTok follower milestone. While the goal was met, getting the reward still required players to win Elite Raids, which is something that locked out players who couldn't take part in one. With GO Fest 2024: Global right around the corner, it remains to be seen whether Niantic is able to turn things around.
