>>40661057Tbh, my friends that I play with all agreed to buy it and we're all going out together to play for the day. It helps when you have other people to play with, feels less of a "scam" and more of a cheap day out with friends.
I can see both sides to this, the side of feeling ripped off and the side feeling like this is an event.
Yea, the research tasks are stupid easy, and the regis aren't great. It's a raid day featuring the 3 most useless raid bosses and their shinies.
As for the side feeling like an event, you have to remember that there are a tonne of new players in the game within the last 4/5 months with all the new stuff added. To many of these players, it's 4 new legendary pokemon they may never get a chance to raid normally, because, well they're Regis. The addiditon of shinies is to bring back the old players. It's all a pattern my guy.
The only thing that bugs me about this event is that people were all expecting this to be like Gofest or a Sfari Zone. Were people really under that impression? I honestly was just expecting a "raid day" that goes for more than 3hrs. I dunno, $8 or $12 doesn't really bug me all that much, i'm gonna be out playing for the most of it for shinies anyhow.
