Adversary events are pointless because they cannot be completed. The Adversary often kicks you out mid battle, which oddly does not happen in between events. This happens every time there's an Adversay specific event.
Plus, edible marks do not help. They will sporadically spawn an Adversary, but rarely the adversary needed to complete the event. Then if you are lucky enough to find an Adversary specifc to the event, it's kicks you out mid battle and disappears, which means we are wasting potions and edible marks while still also losing the event
Ive been playing with Niantic for years now and Ive come to believe that they have no interest in making the games fun for players, they just want us to spend money for few worthwile rewards.
I just got kicked out of my third dragon encounter, each time it has occurred on the second adversary in the chain. I make my first attack, foe attacks twice, and I'm booted.
Two of the three times this has happened, I was out walking around my neighborhood, the other I was just sitting inside on my wifi.
I have been kicked out of adversaries no less than 10 times during the event. Most recently thos morning at 815 Am while I was sitting enjoying my morning coffee and trying to use a potion so I would not be defeated.
I've had this happen three times today while trying to complete the Adversary Event bonus. Each time it was while I was battling the dragon and had was about to complete my last spell to knock it out. I'm at home, using Wifi. Pretty frustrated that it has cost me Dark Marks, potions and spells with no dragony reward!
Just had another occurrence, Peter Pettigrew this time, again during the second encounter. Foe had 14 hp remaining, attacked, and rather than letting me make my final attack just ended the encounter. This is getting rather frustrating.
I got disconnected three times in a row when I was battling ancient dragons since 12:00 pm today. I had been stocking up precious potions to catch three dragons to complete the adversary task: only one was caught without disconnection. Three attempts were failed.
Now only one hour left, I don’t feel like trying to catch the dragons as I fear I will be still disconnected when I am about to catch dragons. Very disappointing. I ask Niantics to extend the event time and to restore all wasted potions. Thanks.
I have used a total of 2 EDMS and the first EDM I got kicked out of one battle half way through and the 2nd EDM I got kicked out of 2 battles on the last battle for each and potions in use. I already posted a thread after I got kicked out of the first battle, this was the last adversary for the 2nd EDM and I got kicked out. This is really frustrating especially when it comes to my potions, I brew constantly and use 2 cauldrons daily, then add that the last 2 battles were at the last one and I was almost done with the battle.
I had exactly the same happen twice during the last adversary event. I'd used several potent existimulo, strong existimulo and wit sharpening potions and got to within 2 spell casts of beating the Norwegian ridge back adversary when I got kicked out. Its really frustrating when you lose so many potions that take a long time to brew and gather ingredients for, especially with the lockdown from covid.
I have been kicked out of 4 Adversary encounters today. - 2 Aragog (1- I had almost completed fighting Aragog; 2- I had done appx 1000 damage to Aragog); 1 dragon, I don't remember which (had almost completed fighting the mummy); and Fenrir (I had almost completed fighting Fenrir). I was in my home, not moving, using a strong WiFi connection, with all assets downloaded. No error message appeared - I was just booted back to the map after the Adversary completed their attack, or after I completed mine. The Adversary mark was gone from the map when it reloaded.
This is beyond frustrating, especially considering the current event tasks, and because in-game support cannot do anything to help (cannot credit energy used or page fragments). Any type of explanation or work-around would be appreciated.
This has happened to me twice in a row now when fighting the basilisk train. The last time, the basilisk only had one hit left in him before he would be defeated and it errored me out. I can’t even begin to imagine how much spell energy and potions not to mention TIME that was completely and utterly wasted. Makes the event unplayable.
I had the same issue during the current adverdaries event. I have been kicked out of three Aragog battles, wasted an EDM and a number of potent potions...
I have been repeatedly dropped out of my adversaries challenges. I get to within a few hits of winning and the game kind of freezes and then I’m back on the map! I’ve wasted all of my dark marks and even bought one more to try and complete this challenge. Not happy!
I have had the issue 4 times today that I have been in the middle of an adversary chain and it randomly decides to close out of the chain. Is this a known issue? I have a hard enough time finding the correct chain...then to have it close out on me without completing.
I was in an adversary battle, fighting Aragog and had only one hit left to finish him off and the game booted me back to the map. The adversary was gone from the map and I lost all progress. This is extra frustrating because I spent gold for potions in the final battle. I was walking during the battle and passed out of wifi range and into network data when I was booted.
Game has kicked me out twice. Once during Aragog and once during Slytherin's Basalisk. Both were on the 2nd adversary of the chain. Was using the edible dark marks and can only ever get 3 chains to spawn in the 30 min and get gyped out of one that I actually need is extremely frustrating!
This adversary functionality is absolute garbage. I’ve been kick out of dozens of adversary battles in the first second and third level. I have wasted and had to purchase mass amounts of spell energy and wasted dozens of exstimulo and other potions. Wasting hours of potion cooking just because of the failure of this functionality, I have been cheated out of all my own time invested , resources invested and all the rewards I should have achieved just because of your garbage functionality and “event”.
Last night I was was kicked out of every adversary event on the first round (well over 10 attempts/different adversaries). I was so frustrated that I gave up for the night. I started playing this evening and managed to complete the event and was working on the bonus - with only 3 left, I started getting kicked out of every single adversary at the first round again (once again, well over 10 attempts/different adversaries). I am unable to complete the bonus and have wasted so many potions, energy and edibles. Everything else in the game was working properly. I had a good internet connection and restarted the program & the phone with the same results multiple times
It happened again that while fighting a series of adversaries, the encounter ends abruptly and without warning in the middle of a fight. In this case an Aragog fight, that needs to be won in order to complete the bonus assignment, ended during the third fight leading to wasted resources and energy that cannot be replaced in time for the end of the assigment (strong and potent estimulo potions, plus energy not easily replace if you can't leave home) .
Yet another person commenting to mention being kicked out of an adversary chain. Full connection, not moving, no alerts saying bad connection, just kicked out. Only really irritated because it wastes 33% of the edible dark mark.
I'm getting sick of using dark marks edibles and then getting kicked out of the adversary battle. I've lost the dark mark, all the potions and energy I've used. Why have an adversary event when you can't fix this glitch? I've reported it several times already. Now I won't be able to finish the bonus tasks because I refuse to waste any more resources.
I've noticed that when I get a final fragment in the first part of an adversary chain (e.g.24/24 wanted posters for Fenrir) and don't flee to collect it, then that is the only fragment I return for the other two adversaries, as well as the key one of course. It's happened on multiple occasions - I don't want to flee as I'd like to claim two other fragments, and not waste the EDM, but at the same timeI'm getting reluctant to carry on if there is actually going to be no further reward.
I was using an edible dark mark (and they’re not exactly ten a Knut). During the second battle on the Aragog chain, I suddenly got kicked out of the battle and landed back on the map. Immediately, I was notified that. Had an open port key. I don’t know if those were related events, but thought it worth mentioning. Disappointed as EDM are rather spendy
As I'm battling an adversary (wearwolfs) I went to go use a whit sharpening potion. It then did a constant loop of refilling the potion and would not let me battle the adversary. Then it gave me an error saying that I was not connected to the internet despite my phone showing full bars. I know the service in this area is quite fine I was also catching a Pokemon at the same time on a different device

I start to fight an adversary, the game then freezes and throws me back to the map
Fought the first foe in the adversary chain then it blipped out, hope this doesn't continue.
I have been kicked out of 4 Adversary encounters today. - 2 Aragog (1- I had almost completed fighting Aragog; 2- I had done appx 1000 damage to Aragog); 1 dragon, I don't remember which (had almost completed fighting the mummy); and Fenrir (I had almost completed fighting Fenrir).

Started fighting Aragog during the event. Used a potion then it took me to the map. Sucks because I haven’t seen many Aragogs during this challenge

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it did it again on the boss of the second adversary chain :,(

Used an EDM and half way through the second guard, I was kicked out with an error message. Only been fighting the chain for a minute tops.

I’ve been kicked out of 2 different adversaries battle chains whilst using edible dark marks today. Very very frustrating.
As I'm battling an adversary (wearwolfs) I went to go use a whit sharpening potion. It then did a constant loop of refilling the potion and would not let me battle the adversary.

3 times now adversary battles have gone back to map. 2 found on map one from an edm
