Monthly DEATH server errors are unacceptable
5 Minutes into the Cyndaquil community day and you know WHAT? The game becomes literally unplayable, white pokeball of death flying galore. People used star piece, incense and lures and i'm standing here suffering for approx 12 mins and i think this will last for an hour.
God this is CYNDAQUIL. How does this inflict crazy server errors is beyond my guess, but it seems like this would be a dead community day and the murder of (paid) players on a MONTHLY basis is blatantly unacceptable.
STOP MAKING COMMUNITY DAYS AND SCREW THIS SHIT, NIANTIC. Your acts are murdering (paid) players and this as a monthly occurence amounts to ultimate death and despair.

This is unacceptable, EVERY SINGLE MONTH this problem occurs. I just tried a Sharpedo raid with another guy and we lost because the server kept lagging, and it was only Sharpedo. If Niantic makes December CDay the same, I’m quitting.
By the way, some people are saying that spoofers are sabotaging Asia CDay by mass accessing Asia CDay.
I live in South America and even here in the city I live the game was mostly unplayable for some time after the event started. My guess is that it happened globally.
Tried opening some friends' gifts and the game was taking a lot of time to load past the login screen, and then loading the map, and then the only Pokemon around me, too... in the end, my friends list wasn't loading at all, so I gave up after trying for like, half an hour, then tried again two hours later.
It's high time they stop shoving CD into a 3 hr time slot & for gods sake spread it out abit. Gives more people more chance to play & will stop or at least lesson these errors. I propose Community weekends with a morning & afternoon time slot. That's 4 chances to take part, so nobody should miss out.
Yup...only a handful of the more hardcore came back when it started working, and of those who did the initial full 3 hours, only a handful stayed for the additional time.
I only managed 1 of the extra 2 hours. It was hot, and I didn't bring enough fluids for 5 hours in the scorching heat - so it was impossible for even the most dedicated to enjoy a full CD.
Thankfully, from a game perspective I did OK...in spite of the situation.
Hyperbole aside you're absolutely right this time. This is far from their first rodeo, there's no reason widespread outages like this should be allowed to happen. Especially since the exact same thing happened on Beldum day.
I don't know what the hell is going on at Niantic but if they don't fix their issues soon there's going to be a pretty big hole in the player base that they may not recover. You'd think they'd be bringing their A-game since winter is about to hit the northern hemisphere, which will already cut their numbers by a decent chunk.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Mr-ex777's rants, this is typical. Death, murder, rape, obscenities, are par for the course from him. I've stopped paying attention to his extreme rants. When he posts something that's reasonable, I read it and sometimes respond. He doesn't seem to understand that this is a game we play for fun. If the errors make it not fun for him, he should quit, simple as that.
And I seriously doubt that he's had any contact with murder or rape in his real life. If he had, I doubt he'd use this extreme terminology for a simple app game. It's kind of insulting to people who have had the misfortune of experiencing actual rape or murder of someone they are close to.
