Why cant they be normal for once

Tons of people cant even reach it, and tons of people’s effort to trigger the EX Raid were lost for no reason

At least people got the invites (not all will get the Mewtwo tho, thanks to their genius idea of including gyms youve passed few months ago

seeing all the strange invites we had yesterday, i expect another wave to hit this thursday, just like last week

I hope so

After what happened today with the bizarre issue of Passes to people that only spun the Gym months ago while I Raided the crap out of it with a group of people trying to trigger an Ex Passand got nothing on any of the 4 family accounts and got nothing I won’t be bothering to chase Raids at Ex Pass Gyms anymore. I’ll save my coins and only Raid the PokĂ©mon I want and avoid the crap I don’t need or want instead of doing it just because I might get an Ex Pass.

Just to add to the above I’ve Raided an have Gold Badge in in this Gym

Hopefully this was just for M2’s bday, and the regular passes will be given out tomorow

@NotanotherKangaskhan sorry you feel this way, but i totally get it. It was fun for 2 weeks when we knew how and what. Then it was just a matter of time to get a pass. Now on the otherhand


To give you all a sense of how broken this EX wave was, a Spanish player got an invite for a POKESTOP. WTF

The system should revert back to its better (still shit but not as bad) state this thursday

That’s the problem: no-one has a goddamn clue what’s happening

Im sure Niantic wouldnt screw up that much, so hope is keeping me away from spamming their email

Well untill there is some sense to the new system, or the old is back, trying to trigger is just a waste of passes indeed. Just wait and see i guess


Haha what’s the point of raiding regularly with the help of Go Hub’s guide if we’re able to receive the Ex raiding pass by spinning pokestop?

There is none. Hopefully that’s a one off thing. Knowing Niantic it wont be the last wacky thing they do unannounced.

Ok, so we got an update from Niantic about the system on Twitter. For starters, they admitted that this EX wave was broken, and incredibly glitchy. Next of all they said that the higher level your gym badges (finally) the more likely you’ll be to get an invite. They also said that the more raids you do (in general) the more likely it’ll be for you to get a pass.

Who writes that crap for them?

You were always more likely with a better badge

Very skeptical. This is basicaly what they said the last time, and then we all got invites on bronze gyms. I need to see it to believe it first this time
