My favourite thing about the event is that Body Slam Lickitung will be available in the wild, I think that’s a really nice touch.
The paid ticket screams of them knowing that they can put GL Cress in research & battlers will pay whatever money for another shot at good IVs (I will not).
We’ve spoken about the state of GBL a fair bit, so I know you’re aware my thoughts match your own! It does very much feel like an afterthought currently, I would love it if they put more time/effort/thought/love into it. Not going to hold my breath though…
I really don't know what to do now. Like I said on Twitter, it's one thing if you make errors or you just get hard countered. Trying to fight the performance issues, too, though? There have been times when GBL has been buggier, I imagine, but this lag was among the worst I've personally witnessed. Do I take a few days' break? Hope they fix it for next season? It's a paralyzing feeling.
Yeah, I understand that paralyzing feeling for sure - if you waited for it to be fixed you could feasibly not be playing ever again! So how long do you leave it?
If you’re not fussed about the UL meta I’d take a break for a few days (including the first day of 3x?/4x? dust, as first days of new rotations are often the laggiest) and hope there’s an update in the meantime
Let's not hold our collective breath. It is nice to have an event that looks good on paper, though. Whether I actually want to battle right now is another matter, but at least the wild encounters will be 🔥.
It's always good to see some relatively positive news, even if the pessimists (realists?) in us know it has little chance of being sustained. I'm particularly excited about the aloha shirt - ever since I made my character fat, the t-shirt I've always worn looks like it has a hole in the underarm when he jumps up after winning a battle. Hits a little too close to home. So maybe the new shirt is just what I need!
Pretty much in agreement here!

Wow! Something positive from Niantic! Hopefully this trend will continue!

If there's one thing I can't fault, it's the cosmetics. Although I wouldn't mind if they were a little cheaper. 😅
