Niantic has responded to the Monster Hunter Now Black Diablos event server issues that prevented players from taking part. 

The Monster Hunter Now Black Diablos event is finally over, but for some players, the game’s server issues prevented them from logging into the server. This was extremely disappointing for those who wanted to farm the deadly subspecies to claim its powerful weapons and armor. 

After all, players can only hunt Black Diablos during events, which makes crafting its equipment rather tricky. Well, Niantic has now acknowledged the Black Diablos event server issues and finally responded.
