Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
The single missions are a threat to some comfort area for people who do mission banners. I think the point made about how people barely look at other people banners is a good one - your messed up banner will only be known to you. It will eventually be fixed. I don't get it either because it would be nice to have a new interest into single missions. You could even have them as a "rolling" banner of 6 missions to use multiple times.

Like people can't figure that out nowadays?
Home and work are easy to figure out.
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
The duality of Ingress.
When missions were added in 2014, single missions were the thing as a means of showing exploration. It wasn't until a few months later that doing banners were more popular. Banners of 6, 12, 18, etc.
I did enjoy making single missions because I could focus a theme on something small versus trying to stretch it out to 6 missions. I've also made banners and love having each one focused to specific areas. Really comes to preference.
I think the one mission is a good faith attempt to not have a system focus on random portals. I think something like hacking a unique portal could replace it but you can already see the disadvantages of that. Tough call.
Re: New Bounties not showing up
Device: Galaxy S21 Ultra Exynos 2100 (yeah I know it is really old by today's mobiles)
So what I still use S10e and have no plans to get rid of it.
(And yes, bounties don't refresh)
Re: New Bounties not showing up
I am having the same issue and I have a Pixel 6 and an iPhone XS Max. Bounties did not reset. Then it told me I had 6 but I couldn't see them. Then it finally refreshed but I can't get credit for them no matter how many times I do the actions (drone hack, glyph, recharge). My 4th task is to do a mission, I have not tried that one yet. Restarted game many times, even completely reinstalled. After reinstall the "you have new bounties" message showed up again, but I still can't make progress on any of them.
Re: Research Bounties activated
So, force closed the scanner, restarted it, did the bounties... next day, no refresh. This can't be working as intended - or does Niantic think that everyone starts their scanner freshly every morning? (If they don't refresh, does that mean that if I don't finish today's bounties I can do them tomorrow before restarting the app to refresh them?)
Re: Bounty Suggestions NOT ABOUT MISSIONS
They put a lot of work into the bounties. Can't see them not giving it a badge, or two. Like the drone, may take a while but it will come.
Re: Bounty Suggestions NOT ABOUT MISSIONS
Also i'd prefer to have a ticker in "niantic innovations" section to turn that thing off..Really,it makes client more buggy (i can notice,i'm not on brand new device),it bugs me with "go field smth for vrmh" when i dont need nor any field nor vrmh or sbul - which i gonna burn asap (with cps and L7 stuff. Junk is junk).
But,if that "quests" gonna to provide medal,now or later, - i'm gonna be forced (some kind of) to throw fields where/when i don't need to, to break banners(yep,there's another topic),to rebuild portals which i prefer to leave solo-reso not to be linkable etc etc.
Or at bare minimum remove that bag icon from main interface but leave where it also exists and where agent ops were.
And no streaks,really.
Re: Bounty Suggestions NOT ABOUT MISSIONS
Almost agree. But have to add:
1)Overclock partially works(just as scan in PoGo,as an example) on lots(no,really LOTS) of phones capable of running Ingress. So overclock task(if that is real) should be tied to device if it is capable to overclock,not to scan.
2) Scan daily : absolutely "No-no" one. I bet less than 25% agents now even can scan(not even have will to scan).
3) Missions: scan is worst,but missions are bad idea too,it only breaks banners
4) trekker/kcaps: ingress is meant to move(not ride,cmon,tired of cargressers),but i agree with topic idea,there can be enough circumstances when it's not a good idea to move,so it's absolutely bad idea to make a STREAK of that. Or a shuffle idea is great.
