Despite initial success, the latest update for Pokemon Go has left several users disappointed and unsatisfied. This is in large part due to the removal of the tracking system, which has left players feeling unable to participate meaningfully. That coupled with the blocking of third party tracking apps and Niantic’s silence on the issue has led to things like the current 1.5 star rating on the App Store.
However, today Niantic took to social media to address the issue. You can check out the statement below and keep checking GameLuster for the latest information on Pokemon Go.
Trainers,
As many of you know, we recently made some changes to Pokémon GO.
– We have removed the ‘3-step’ display in order to improve upon the underlying design. The original feature, although enjoyed by many, was also confusing and did not meet our underlying product goals. We will keep you posted as we strive to improve this feature.
– We have limited access by third-party services which were interfering with our ability to maintain quality of service for our users and to bring Pokémon GO to users around the world. The large number of users has made the roll-out of Pokémon GO around the world an… interesting… challenge. And we aren’t done yet! Yes, Brazil, we want to bring the game to you (and many other countries where it is not yet available).
We have read your posts and emails and we hear the frustration from folks in places where we haven’t launched yet, and from those of you who miss these features. We want you to know that we have been working crazy hours to keep the game running as we continue to launch globally. If you haven’t heard us Tweeting much it’s because we’ve been heads down working on the game. But we’ll do our best going forward to keep you posted on what’s going on.
Be safe, be nice to your fellow trainers, and keep on exploring.
The Pokémon GO team
