What, no Pokemon Go thread?

[figmentPez]

I honestly don't understand that. CAD made a comic about it too....Seriously, I keep hitting "bag is full" errors because I have 240+ balls. Do you have have really few Pokestops and loads and loads of Pokemon to catch or something?

There aren't any Pokestops in range of my apartment. It is currently 96°F (36°C) and 40% relative humidity (a relatively cool summer day here) at 4 in the afternoon, which makes walking in the heat exhausting. Even though my apartment complex's business office is a Pokestop, my anxiety keeps me from wanting to go out and just hang around there.

Here's a couple screenshots of my location:

That Gym is at my college, it's a 20+ minute walk away, from experience. Not something I've felt up to the last few days.

I can open up the app on my phone every hour or so and find a Pokemon to catch in my apartment.

We've been walking a couple of miles every day since pokemon go came out. It's the best thing that's happened for her recovery

Had a mostly good night. Went to our old stomping grounds in West Bend WI and it was NUTS. I mean, seriously, one corner by the library had 3 Pokestops which were ALWAYS lured and once it started getting dark there were people in lawn chairs and one wackadoo had brought a full set of extension cords to run from the library across the street to his laptop and was playing music for everyone. It was a damn block party.

Would have been better if the Aerodactyl I was after didn't screw me out of 12 pokeballs just to run away. GRUMBLE.

Spent about 30 minutes just camped right here. Got a couple of things that I didn't have and helped my wife learn how to play.

I've never held a gym for more than 4 hours. Not really seeing the point as I get almost nothing out of it.

I don't think I've held one for more than 15 minutes. Make sure as soon as you take it over, you go and collect your defender bonus on the shop page with the shield at the top. Pokecoins and magic dust are what I've gotten so far.

 

[Krisken]

Good to know that. I just noticed that shield now and feel really silly for wasting it

 

[Bubble181]

yeah, didn't know about that... Just took over a gym yesterday evening, that would've been nice. Man, a little bit more tutorial would be a good thing.

 

[DarkAudit]

ANY tutorial. Game just throws you out there with no explanation of how to do anything at all.

 

[Celt Z]

I keep waiting for your trainer to turn into Sailor Moon.

 

[Krisken]

It appears I am unable to log into the game since around 20 minutes ago. Not sure if they are doing updates or what. Anyone else able to log in?

Not letting me in either, was on for 20-30 minutes earlier while at the dog park with the old Pug.

Me too. Was down to 7 pokeballs and headed into population to get some Pokestops. Now though, unable to get player info.

Thanks for the verification Sparhawk!

 

[MindDetective]

I've gotten a cannot log in message too.

 

[Thread Necromancer]

Ya, same here. I was on for a bit and took a little walk, hit apikestop and got a message my bags were full. So I went down to a nice little stop to enjoy some coffee, dropped a lure, put on some incense, cracked a lucky egg, caught a weedle and game crashed immediately. Haven't been able to log in since and that was a little over an hour ago

 

[Tinwhistler]

Same.

There's a few messages on the pokemon go subreddit that the servers are down, but no dedicated thread about it.

Ouch, for losing stuff like that.

Oh, that's horrible Sorry man!

[Krisken]

Yeah, it's all over twitter too. 50 minutes ago they said there is no estimated time for them to be back.

 

[Dei]

I laughed so hard at this I am definitely going to Hell.

I've had to refrain from making a" #catchpokemonfornice - just as useful as praying" post, so I think I'll be there well before you.

 

[Sparhawk]

I'm back in.

 

[Celt Z]

Oh good, I'm glad this isn't just me. I took Li'l Z on a walk this morning to get breakfast and load up on Pokeballs, and I haven't been able to get in at all. It's hot and humid here, so if we don't walk earlier, it's miserable later.

 

[Sparhawk]

And down again...

 

[Bubble181]

Still down.... And I'm visiting people in a part of town where apparently they have a whole different set of Pokemon, drat.[DOUBLEPOST=1468684412,1468684168][/DOUBLEPOST]Apparently it's because of a ddos attack by Poodlecorp. Thanks, a-holes.

Not sure what they gain from this, really.
