Anyone else feeling remorse pre event hatching?

So I batched hatched 9 10K eggs on sunday with both 7 day streaks and lucky egg.

Now that the event started hatching eggs are giving 3X exp??? like WTF!! Why couldn't they just put this in the announcement, if I had known I would have waited and hatched the eggs today!

Hope you got something good out of your eggs?

Simple. They don't announce these things because they don't want you to change your style of play in the days leading up to an event.

I hatched 5 this morning, thinking it would be x3 XP, but i didn't care about XP.. Now that I know it is x5, I'm a little upset it was two Gligars, one growlithe, but i did get a 96% Scyther, and a Pinsir with RS/CC. Yeah, take that Bug Catcher

I took the gamble on missing out a couple of km's of play on my commute last night when I realised I'd be hatching 2 10K eggs. Seemed weird not to be playing but I'm glad I switched off.

Actually, the extra EXP from hatching was leaked initially...There was no mention of how much, but since I posted it, it was definitely in the rumor when the fire/ice event was first leaked out.

I looked up my old message and it's here:
https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/fire-and-ice-event-posted-teameevolution

Here's the blurb:
"Additionally, as you walk around your neighborhoods or discover new sights, you’ll earn even more XP for hatching Eggs."

Niantic's official posting didn't state it, but as I say, it's always good to just wait...Walking 10km over a week is easy (do that in near a day) so no rush IMO...

I wanted to add that there will probably be ANOTHER event after this one to coincide with the actual launch of Pokemon Go on July 5th or 6th...being July 4th weekend too, expect good/great things (my hope is back to actually DOUBLE (or even TRIPLE!) candies from eggs)...and double or even TRIPLE candies from transfers.

The problem is the wording. "even more XP" could have meant a 1.5x multiplier. Las time they said "even more candy" it was just 1-3 extra candy.

But 5x exp does not equal to "even more exp"

That's why I always try to save my 10KM batches for events. Just started incubating 8 of them right after the event began, and tomorrow I'm going to synchronize hatching them together with my 7-day streaks during a lucky egg.

Most players 7 day streaks fall of a Sunday if they played everyday since the 7day streak bonuses were implemented.
