Re: Dear Niantic, this game is dead.
I think Niantic is not interested in advertising ingress. Just look at the @NianticLabs instagram, there is not a single photo of Ingress but there is of his dead NBA game, it is incredible how little importance is given to the game that started all his success.
Re: Problems in interaction within factions.
Kick yourself out, play alone or create your own small sub group with nice people to play.
But yeah, beeing able to join team red and infect everythink with unique weapons to create havoc would be something i would like too :D
Re: A dictatorship of a select few who don't care about our opinion.
Who's got that unfortunate box? Give it to the child, let him play....
Re: A dictatorship of a select few who don't care about our opinion.
Are you still complaining about that silly box? Who cares? There is no storyline. There is basically nothing coming from anyone at Niantic other than a few new releases with not much being released. In other news Walmart is now a portal. What's new?
Re: A dictatorship of a select few who don't care about our opinion.
Several or even one person has the right to decide for the entire faction. Don't you think it's wild?
This is 100% specific to the region it occurs in. We all self organize. Niantic doesn't elect leaders, you do.
Do better in your own house.
Note: On the "Third Faction Will Fix it". If the first two were organized badly, what makes you think another one run by the same people would do any better?
Re: C.O.R.E. Subscription Price Change [Discussion]
55 -> 99 NOK (+80%) in Norway [5.2 USD -> 9.4 USD]. The price is getting similar to a streaming service such as Netflix now...
I have now cancelled my subscription.
I will subscribe back to it if they change the cost back to its previous rate, and keep the current inventory bonus reward.
My guess is that the significant price increase is so that they can go into profit even with the loss of subscribers. I bet there are alot of auto-zombies being reminded to cancel their subscriptions now that google is sending a price change notification to every subscriber.
I cannot financially justify a yearly cost of 113 USD to support ingress. I like this game, but not THAT much. The previous yearly cost of 62.5 USD was hard enough to justify as it was.
Re: Machina is just killing player engagement.
At least people stop driving lots of km in their cars for these boring fields. Good for the enviroment. More lokal on foot/bike play!
Dear Niantic, this game is dead.
This is not the game we signed up for,
This is not the competitive team game we signed up for,
This is not attracting new players
This has made the ones who did play stop playing.
Make some changes to the red weed before it's to late. For the sake of the community clinging on, it won't continue in this form, if it does then we should all play twice a year for anomalies and go elsewhere in between. Last chance saloon.

Re: C.O.R.E. Subscription Price Change [Discussion]
So Niantic almost doubled the price for C.O.R.E., and i decided to cancel this for a while. I've got some reasons for that, and one of them is very personal: red faction. Why should i pay money to a game company that is spoofing world wide under the Machina name? This is the big deal why i canceled it for a while. Countless links are crossing the field, people stopping to control their surroundings, organizing fielding operations came to a standstill. Giving people a reason, a badge to hunt the red portals isn't going to help that.
Second, CMU x4 isn't offering that much i believe. I would expect some more inventory space, like +1000.
There is still a lot of lag. I don't like battle beacons at all. Buying all kinds of gear in the store is going to be pay2win, why? I might reconsider C.O.R.E. if the pay2win and spoofing items dissapear from the game/lifestyle.
Re: [Feature Request] Make recharge actions visible in Activities
You are not the #IngressPolice. This is yet another "I'm going to brigade people who don't want to be harassed, by adding things to COMM" attempt, same as "Announce dropped capsules" etc.
Niantic has all this information. If they're not doing anything about it now, they're not going to do anything about it when you can see it.
