Re: Title Edit
You'll be better off posting that on the Wayfarer Community. Portal edits are not attended to on this forum anymore.
Here's the link:

When will we be able to advertise local groups and events here like they do in the Wizarding World?
Please see:

Re: Portal Decay
Need mods to increase decays would be greatly appreciated
how about increase jarvis/ada hack rates?
Apex is stupid because AP system is stupid
If I cared about AP I would just have a 'family' of backpack accounts to endlessly deploy lvl 1 resonators / busters to remove (win-trading)
How would you make me respect AP?
1) Limit max AP you can gain from a portal to 1,000 per weekly measurement
2) make all items except portal keys no drop
Otherwise AP is just a circlejetk of family of backpack accounts

Re: So NIA's solution is "Make Ingress like PoGo"?
I think I want a hierarchy situation. When you "graduate" from PoGo/Universe to Ingress, and see a whole brand new style of game.
Maybe my larper/euro boardgamer is coming out, but I see Ingress as a larp that is adding/subtracting certain things that hasn't translated well over the last two to three years. Experiments like APEX have to be tested for viability, but until spoofbots are ejected from the game, balance will not be achieved.
Re: (NextBike and Co.) bike sharing/rental eligible?
November 2018 AMA
Q14: Can you ask the OPR folks for their thoughts on bike share stations? Seems to me like they’d be a great “get out and explore” type of portal.
A14: NIA OPS replied, “These are similar to transit stations, if these are large enough, have a structure, or are artistic, these could be considered. If it's just a regular bike rack, it wouldn't meet our criteria.”
The one in your pic is just a bike share rack so I'd say no.
Re: Portal Decay
This is a good move. Encourage people to be out less. Consolidate your one trip out to get food with topping off the portals you shop at regularly.
Future OPR backlog and issues
Niantic just announced submissions are live in Germany for Pokémon Go users, suggesting it is on the horizon for other European countries.
This is/will hit the OPR community like a tonne of bricks, even restricted at L40 (L16 equivalent in Ingress). There are 37 L40 players in the discord I am in in the city I play in. This number is vastly underrepresented as this is just the small fraction that choose to use discord.
There are more L40 players in our city than there are Ingress players.
Does Niantic have any plans to mitigate any issues? An issue I see are a lot of submissions for POIs that already exist in Ingress but haven't converted over due to stricter S2 cell proximity rules.
On the topic of proximity itself I think the app should do a proximity check during the submission process so it won't let you submit if it is too close to an existing portal. It will save a lot of time for everyone.
Re: So NIA's solution is "Make Ingress like PoGo"?
They need to encourage solo play because most people don't want to play in a group, They have 10s of millions of players across their games and not all of them will want to meet up with some middle age dude in a car park to be told how they can and can't play the game in their own town.

Re: So NIA's solution is "Make Ingress like PoGo"?
Pokémon GO makes tons of money, so no wonder they’re trying to emulate it in Ingress if they can.
Bring on gifts and adding friends too.
