[Rant] Matryoshka event time range and notice time is horrible

You know, there are people who build homogeneous fields and other field arts. Event with such linking rules change could be used by teams around the world to try and push for field arts of never before seen beauty and higher order homogeneous fields which wouldn't earlier be possible.

But.

1) You announced this rule 2 days before the event start. This should've been announced WEEKS in advance for people to take full advantage.

2) You started the event on Friday, meaning the only weekend is at the very start of the event - which makes it impossible to plan and make something during the weekend simply because of the lack of time.

The timings couldn't be more nonsensical. Good job!...

    Not so ranty, but in a more constructive tone.

    I’m loving this event, I haven’t played around with links under fields yet, but I’ve made the most of double Link and Field AP and just done a massive field engine. I’m already up 15mil AP.

    I’ve seen some very interesting things about things that can be done with links under fields, like homogeneous fields and that will be great to try, but it’s the timing.

    The event is a week, fair enough, unfortunately I have a “proper adult” job now so can’t play as much and when I want, so only one weekend is a shame, but hopefully with all the interest in links under fields, maybe we could get a bigger event / global challenge in the future, that gives us more time to enjoy it.

    it's easy to make HCF with this rule, at least the surprise and last minute planning keep a bit of work to do for achieving it.

    I think less fun if they announce weeks before... this is just temp event its supposed to come as surprise.

    Technically half of this event was announced in advance, they announced the double ap and everything, they just added the linking under fields that was added last minute ish. But I do agree that it would have been nice to announce it maybe a couple of more days in advance

    Dude. You complained about the lack of changes with these events. Now we have a new surprise twist and you're ranting about not being able to plan?! The event is going on for a week.

    I don't get it with you sometimes.

    Dude. The event itself is cool. I don't have any problems with it. Except the timings. And also that I'll now have to wait another maybe year or more, for this change to be a part of some other event, to try taking some advantage of it for a field art. Seems like there's also a need of having a plan and some keys always ready, in case Niantic again wants to "surprise" us and tells us about this rule couple of days before the event. Rip a few hundred inventory space which is going to be taken by dead weight.

  • How does Matryoshka allow field art that would be impossible otherwise? As far as I understand, the same field art is possible (unless you consider HCF7+ as field art), it just becomes a bit easier to execute.
