Australia is working?.. It's because it is like 3am there right now, or?

The server in the Netherlands is good news, when it is actually working

I'm Australian and this is a lie. Servers are dead.

 

[Leonsito]

Which by the way, is barely holding up ad well.
All Pokémon Go players are killing this and Down Detector.

lol hype is so insane that the servers that host websites monitoring servers are down too

Edit:


Where does DDOS begin and ~50 million people playing at the same time end?

Can't even get on that site. It must be getting hammered by Pokemon Go players.

The irony.

 

[Kebiinu]

Why would they launch the game in more countries, when they haven't completely resolved the server issues in the countries it has already released in?

 

[Who]

my phone smashed literally the night this launched. Havent had one since, due to my new phone being on backorder.

I called yesterday and it will still be 4-6 days -___-

why have i been cursed so?

Crap like this is incredibly upsetting to hear: https://www.reddit.com/r/depression...sed_about_cut_on_wrist_while_playing_pokémon/

 

[jwhit28]

Our botanical garden was having a promotion for the game and I wanted to go before it got to hot since every piece of art in there is a pokestop. Glad I tried to login before I paid admission.

Im in Australia. Currently 12 midnight here in Melbourne and I can't play.

I'm Australian and this is a lie. Servers are dead.

Shame :-(.

Hopefully they can fix that three footstep bug so we can actually hunt specific Pokemon too.

Yeah, I noticed that and found it kind of funny.

 

[Irishonion]

Lol i laughed to hard at this..

 

[Chaos17]

Because of beggars pressure on their social media.
Just on their Facebook Asians took the comment section over XD
I fear the day when Pokemon go will launch over there.

 

[Tall4Life]

I'm back on!

 

[panthapanda]

Niantic probably wondering why to ingame purchases have slowed down to a crawl when they just launched in 26 countries lol

 

[Pachimari]

I think I only have 37 Pokemon. It feels bad when I have seen silhouettes of Pokemon I really want but can never actually find.

 

[Chaos17]

I'm back on!

Oh ? Did the lord heard our prayers ? XD

 

[TrueBlue]

I'm back on!

Is there hope?

 

[thatJohann]

Why would they launch in 26 countries when they can barely handle 3.

Probably stakeholder pressure

 

[El_Chino]

The one time I decide to go the city they launch the game in 26 NEW COUNTRIES.

 

[panthapanda]

Man now I can't drive and Pokemon. I've gotten pretty damn good at "glance at the phone and tap the Pokemon and no look thumb curve ball"

Don't play while driving, play safe please.

[MXRider]

Why would they not launch one or two countries per day? I don't understand what they expected.

People whined last week when they did that: "Niantic dumbass at this rate I will play by christmass!"

 

[casiopao]

Still can't log in. NIANTICCXXXX

 

[DrM]

Yep, servers are roasted. Managed to get in the game one hour ago, but that was it.

 

[Kebiinu]

I'm back on!

Lies. It's still down.

Edit: Guys....now what are we gonna do outside?

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

Man now I can't drive and Pokemon. I've gotten pretty damn good at "glance at the phone and tap the Pokemon and no look thumb curve ball"

Man you really shouldn't do that. What if you hit someone because you want to capture one and divert your attention for a split second? Don't pokemon and drive!


Switched my app for the official one now that it's out here. Was worried my server issues were because of that.

 

[Visceir]

Glad I managed to snag the Haunter lurking behind my house before the servers turned to complete shit.

Guessing no one will be able to log back in again until the europeans start going to bed.

 

[arimanius]

Hopefully they can fix that three footstep bug so we can actually hunt specific Pokemon too.

What's the bug? I haven't had to many issues hunting specific ones.

 

[L95]

American, I also cannot play at the moment ...

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

All Pokemon show they are three steps away. Doesn't go down to 2 or 1. Happened to me the last few days

 

[Kain]

Now I know where all the people managing the WOW servers back in '08 went

 

[panthapanda]

Don't play while driving, play safe please.

I don't really play while driving lol. It's very minimal at best. The game is just running so I can squeeze in some km for my eggs. I'm definitely not actively trying catch pokes.

 

[Pachimari]

Did fix the 1HP glitch yet? And can someone explain what that glitch is about?

 

[lt519]

Servers potentially being down all is a bummer for what is looking like a very nice day outside to go hunting.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Well it was fun while it lasted. RIP servers.

 

[3phemeral]

Did fix the 1HP glitch yet? And can someone explain what that glitch is about?

They said it was a simple server-side issue and yes, it's been fixed.

 

[Tall4Life]

I'm not lying

Pokemon dont usually spawn in my area here, but I've been able to look at the gyms and stops.

EDIT3: Restarted my app and now i can't connect again. Thanks guys, I'm blaming all of you.

 

[Moz La Punk]

Im kinda scared. I deleted the australian version of the app and downloaded the dutch version. Now Im scared my saved game won't carry over. Ofcourse I cant check with the servers being down.

Can anyone ease my thoughts?

 

[A Serious Man]

You mean '04?

Yeah, WoW is really old.

Interesting don't think I've ran into it. I've had several three steps shift positions so I know I'm getting close then they finally go to two then one step away.

So many little bugs with this game.

It doesn't track distance at driving speed anyways.

Boo, finally it came to Sweden and I only got to play for 10 minutes
