"Niantic: FIX Long Island's Meganest!"
#PokemonGO: What Happenedhttps://http://bit.ly/2ALRE8n April 9th, 2018, the entire land mass of Long Island, including all of Brooklyn and Queens, was briefly tagged as natural=scrub by someone on OpenStreetMap. This was removed a few hours later, but during this window, Niantic took a snapshot of the map data and updated PokemonGo with new nests. Long Island is now a nest.Regular nests in parks and other areas are still preserved within the meganest and exclude meganest spawns, like droplets of oil on water, but it's far from ideal. Tens of thousands of players are affected.ImpactThere is no "neutral" place to play. We are either in one nest, or another.Community Day is greatly affected. Below, you can see Manhattan and New Jersey are not affected, only Long Island.This screenshot is 30 minutes into community day: http://bit.ly/2SNrCIS nest pokemon compete for spawn points, so lure and incense spawns are vital for us. At this point, we have had to weather many community days this way.No pidgey spawn, ever. It's like pidgey is now a memory from another era of PokemonGo. We could only discard those caterpie quests with "evolve two pidgey."No event pokemon spawn outside of lure / incense spawns. This included, among others:Zero Nidoran-F for "Day of Girls" EventZero Witch Hat Pikachu for HalloweenZero Santa Hat Pikachu for ChristmasThe meganest can be something good, a desired shiny, or it can have synergy like if it is a kabuto nest while "Evolve 2 Kabuto" research tasks are live. Ultimately, these are minor benefits and most of us want the normal experience back!!! Please help. via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2VOJrct
