In the end of July 2021, Inpokémon Go were abolished the Corona bonuses in New Zealand and the USA. Now the Corona bonuses come back in places. We explain why, and show you the reactions from the community.
What is it? In connection with the Corona Pandemic, Niantic 2020 had introduced various Corona bonuses in Pokémon Go, which facilitated the coaches playing at home. This included an increased range of the pokéstops and arenas or a longer-lasting, efficient smoke.
Now the developers wanted to find back to their original game concept and again enable more activities outside. For this reason, you have leaked the Corona bonuses at the end of July 2021 in New Zealand and the US. That came in the community for a lot of criticism. Now, however, the turnaround and the Corona bonuses will come back in places.
Why do the Corona bonuses come back? Due to the rising Corona numbers, New Zealand had proclaimed the warning level 4 and thus the public life is restricted again. For this reason, Niantic divided on Twitter's night from 18 August, that New Zealand retains the Corona Bonuses.
These are the reactions of the community
The return of the Corona bonuses ensured a lot of conversation and criticism in the community at the end of July. The reason for this was the ongoing Corona pandemic and the resulting recurring regional restrictions. Individual players even threatened with the boycott of the game and felt the decision as a blow in the face.
But even after the official message to return the Corona bonuses in New Zealand, the coaches are still angry. This is because even in other parts of the world, the Corona figures are very high, such as in the US. However, the coaches can not use Corona bonuses. These are the reactions of the community:
- Aznknight613 (via reddit.com): 5 confirmed cases in New Zealand and you have reset it. Meanwhile in the US ...
- CaffeinatedGuy (via reddit.com): Over here, on the ascending side of a delta wave, the FEMA and the National Guard were turned on and send people. The emergency room now has a tent. But yes, there is nothing to see here. Everything is fine in the USA.
- Itsfleeceking (via twitter.com): Finally! A quick reaction and a much needed change. Thanks, Niantic! But why could this reaction and change did not take place worldwide? Obviously you are able to implement this quickly.
Are Niantic not about the players?
Through the reactions of the community, it becomes clear that Niantic has not implemented any uniform rules around the corona bonuses. The Reddit User UrkldaJRKL is stunned and convinced that this decision was not taken on the basis of Corona's figures, but due to the legal requirements (via reddit.com).
Many coaches do not think so unlikely, because despite the high numbers and vehement demands of the players, the Corona bonuses remain in the US continues to remain. One reason for this is apparent that there is no uniformly increased warning level or measures, such as a lockdown.
This is different in New Zealand. Here, appropriate measures have been decided that also affects the players of Pokémon Go. This also confirms the Reddit User Telpe, which indicates that New Zealand is already in the Lockdown at a confirmed Corona case (via reddit.com).
Trainer demanding action by Niantic
The community is angry about the procedure of Niantic. Therefore, they demand the return of the Corona bonuses in the USA. Thus, the Twitter user Flapplesnapple writes that the US in cases drunks and only because the government does not do anything, that is not that it was not bad (via twitter.com). He therefore asks Niantic to become active.
Kvales agrees and writes: That should probably be a joke. Only because we are not classified as 'alarm stage 4' at the federal level, that does not mean that the US does not lose Covid in an unprecedented extent. And many of us opt for to follow the social distance guidelines without requiring this (via twitter.com).
The Reddit User Duarjo has a completely different opinion and writes: The world did not leave Covid behind and there is a Hate against Niantic, but the US had the Springbreak, Japan had an Olympics, in France, people went to concerts in France ... Niantic can not judge what people think, but then what governments are logical (via reddit.com).
Whether Niantic bends these demands and the Corona bonuses now brings back nationwide, is unknown. A crucial role could also be the expert round announced by Niantic, which is to be convened to redemption of the Corona bonuses due to the continued criticism.
