Yeah just went out, some people getting passes for a raid today in 10 minutes lol. They gotta have something messed up.

My pass is for the monday the 1st, which is still a short notice in comparison to previous ones.

I also received a pass for October 1st. 230-315. Bring an Ultra friend.

My previous ex passes were issued 2 weeks out iirc.

Got one. It starts in 20 mins lol.
Edit: It's just a Tier 4 egg.

I got one starting 35 minutes after I received it (25 minutes from now) - and I am looking at the gym and it shows that a L3 raid is about to start at my supposed start time.

Got one for October 1st at a regular time. Too bad it's at a gym I raided at out of state last weekend and not at the Starbucks I raided at last evening.

Sounds like the first Deoxys ex raid passes have been a disaster.

The much maligned ex raid system strikes again.

Just rushed to the EX raid I mentioned in the previous answer. Turns out to be a Lapras (tier 4). We went in and won it out, caught the Lapras. It actually costed us a free pass, although the EX pass still says the EX raid is ongoing.

Got a message saying the EX raid scheduled on Oct 1 is cancelled. Got 1000 dust and 2 premium raid pass. Not sure if it's because we used the EX raid pass to battle the Lapras.

Some people in my local chat are reporting cancelled raids as well. I don't know if they had bugged passes or not.

I don't think 1000 dust and 2 premium passes can level my agony. Reward me a Deoxys maybe.

Different attitudes here. Given I can't make my EX raid I almost hope they pull it, I'll take a couple free passes. I probably wouldn't be so happy-go-lucky about it if I had plans to make it though.

I got a pass for October 1st, as well. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it since I’ll be working during the EX Raid. :/

Mine is at 430pm and close to work—I don’t get a lunch break (or any break). I can make this one. Assuming I can beat it myself, best friends 40 and a 37? If not, I have two other 32s on the back burner. That would mean I could push it to 515pm.

Not sure why the time is picked on week days during working hours. Many trainers can not make it this way.

See any comment thread on any social media platform about Community Day announcements. Those are over the weekend and are still flooded with "Not everyone works weekdays!" complaints. Any time sensitive event in a game like this will fail to please everyone.

HAVING SAID THAT, I don't get why they don't just make a whole day of it for EX raids. Lock the gym out for the entirety of the raid curfew for the day so people can organize to do it at 6am if need be, lunchtime, or 6pm after work. They encourage players to use social media apps to organize gatherings for community days, surely they know we'd do the same for EX raids? A 45 minute window during standard business hours is balls, and this is from someone who was able to attend a dozen of them previously.

I just received a pass for October 1 to a Ex eligible gym I raided earlier tonight.
Edit: the pass was for October 2, 1pm

Got one for 1pm on October 1st! Glad I didn’t get one of the bugged ones

I thought they would be sent out this weekend, so I hadn't done any raids.
I wonder if this was a one time thing or if Niantic have changed their system. In the past we got invites about nine days before the raid, but this is just five.

Missed out, but luckily got an invite from a fellow player. So atleast I'll get to go to one EX-raid. Some in my are will do two that day.

No, I did not get mine. My town does not have any EX eligible gyms. We have parks with gyms, but they weren't mapped as parks in 2016, so Niantic doesn't recognize them as parks. So, until I find time between my job and my family to drive 45 minutes, I will never get an EX pass until Niantic gets their crap together and updates their definition of a park.

Rant over lol.
