Re: Concerning future of First Saturdays & Second Sundays.
Automatic, but still require group photo. Cut the amount of agents required by half. We might be able to still pull off in person events. Ten is really reaching hard in many places. If we don't have one locally, closest one to me is about 4.5 hours drive away (240 - 300 miles away). Which means I won't be doing it unless I already plan on being semi near to that area ahead of time. Even then likely not. I'm currently at 49 for IFS. I still show up for local ones when I can to ensure other agents get their credit.
Re: Overclock Drone Hacks
Drone glyphing is already in the game which offers a lot of gear.
Expecting to use it for Overclocking doesn't fit with the idea of getting outside and playing the game.
Re: [Feature Request] Make your avatar smaller or hide it all together from the linking screen
This would be an excellent QoL (Quality of Life) update to the game. I know many fielders would highly appreciate it. Disagrees are likely those who don't enjoy making lots of little triangles.
Re: [Feature Request] Make your avatar smaller or hide it all together from the linking screen
Making it smaller would help sooo much. Based on the screen shot above, I see 3 portals within their sphere of influence, but there could be another one under their avatar. Unsure. OP would need to reply. Places I micro field I can often get 5-8 portals in my sphere of influence (or is it action circle?), either way, I sometimes have to move so I can see to field easier. QoL update.
It could easily be a toggle switch, that would shrink your avatar xx% and be off by default. Like many other options within the game.
Re: Sometimes cannot remote-view any portal
To add on to this, the scanner itself is been horribly laggy over the past week, which likely contributes to this issue and just being able to play in general. Multiple times in the past week agents are unable to load the scanner beyond a black screen or a screen with no portals. Client stops working or loads very slowly despite the data being great (other apps including other Niantic apps load correctly during this time).
