Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints

The information sharing in this game is a joke. It was one thing when small details about releases or new shiny variants were scattered amongst Twitter pogo influencers or whatever, but now to get any information about any event it seems I need to go to a blog post which leads me to another website and add every detail of it to a calendar.

This Verizon event was the last straw. It was annoying enough trying to get the pass for the event in the first place, and then I missed out on the whole thing because I had completed all the tasks prior to the event truly even starting so I didn’t realize it was all incense driven and that there was a specific time window for spawns within the greater time window of the event. It doesn’t help any that with Covid, I hardly interact with other players so the information sharing regarding these details is at an all time low.

The way I found out that I missed the entire event was a friend texting me after it happened asking if I had gotten anything good. Which of course I didn’t, because I hadn’t gotten anything at all.

Why? Why do they consistently make it so hard to enjoy their game? Why are they so terrible at the simplest things? Why do I still invest time and money into a game whose creators literally couldn’t be bothered to make it a remotely enjoyable experience rather than the frustrating quagmire it has been since it’s inception?
