Re: Research Bounties activated
There is the 5000 AP that goes for completing all 4 (originally distributed) bounties. Replacing one would lose the AP, but the research day task could be completed.
Re: Research Bounties activated
Joining others in saying that the Bounties are great! As a really casual player in regards to actually opening the scanner I can already see that it'll kick me in the behind to get out and to complete the 4 dailies. The current set of tasks and it's rewards also feel well balanced and having an explanation for each task is great for new players and the entire Bounties screen feels "high quality", if that makes sense.
Mirroring some sentiments however that there should be some changes and improvements made to the system. I know that "officially", Ingress doesn't know what banners are and is built on single missions, but the fact is that Agents have developed a huge community around banners and the sets of 6. Having a "Complete 1 Mission" task that has to be completed within the day will **** over a lot of people.
Similarly, the "Complete 1 Kinetic Capsule Program" is by no means hard, but if starting from zero, casual players will have trouble getting the 8km within a day in. Especially compared to the other tasks which all can be completed within 5 minutes, walking 8km can take like an hour just... walking.
An improvement I've seen suggested is a "Replace" button which can be used to replace one of the four tasks per day. People that have a problem with the above tasks can replace them while the people that are fine with them can just do them.
I'd also love to see some other, harder types of Bounties such as "Capture X MU" or "Reclaim X Portals from Machina". The current set of tasks is great for the start, but will probably get stale quickly. They could be categorised into "basic" and "advanced" Bounties with one of the dailies always being advanced and having better rewards.
The German translation for Ingress was always... questionable. Since the introduction of Head Tracking, the translation has taken a nose dive, but the translation for the Bounties is atrocious. god please ask some agents to take a look over them, there are a lot of people that would do that for free
Lastly, I'd love to see other types of Bounties as well, such as weekly, monthly or even seasonal tasks you can chip away at over longer time.
But still, overall, I think it is a great feature! Please do keep working on it though.
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
I like this task. So more Agenten will submit New Missions and Banners....
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
You're not obligated to do every task.
Some people enjoy doing single missions. I rarely have the patience to grind my way through a banner, but I love doing one or two souvenir missions when I travel... the most recent missions on my profile are San Francisco, New York, Emeryville (near SF), Hannover, London, and Palo Alto, and if I hadn't run into travel chaos coming home from Las Vegas last weekend I'd have another Vegas mission after the SF one.
I would go so far as to say that the people who strictly do banner missions are a minority. They tend to be vocal and hardcore about banners but they're not the average Ingress player.
Re: Instant bans
Unsure who you are as you're not the original poster, if you are the original poster you seem to have made more than one ingress account which is against the terms of service, you should really understand the simple rules of the game which make it fair for everyone.
Re: Duplication of a nomination submitted by an Ingress Prime Player.
As I posted in the Wayfarer forum, the Wayfarer team is to blame for this.
And the only solution is to transfer the imported wayspot to the PGO database.
Re: Research Bounties activated
Just came to say thanks to Niantic for this. It looks really polished and the animations are great. The thought behind it of giving extra incentive to play daily but without being too forceful looks well implemented.
I want to echo that “Complete a mission” isn’t probably the best for a bounty, considering how the community took the concept of missions and made a focus on banners.
Some bounties feel on the easier side, I completed my first day’s worth without leaving my flat, so some slightly more challenging bounties could be added for more engagement long term.
Overall, well done Niantic. This is a cool feature and feels like it belongs in Ingress.
Re: The single mission bounty is not a very good task.
I havent done many banners my self, because I thought the possibility of a nice collection of banners on the profil was ruined when I was level2.
I know many agents from both faction, treasures their collection of amazing banners, and doesnt want to ruin them with single missions, but the same time this same agents wants to complete their daily quests. So maybe there is a possibility to change just that quest into something else, like upgrade resos or something?
Re: Research Bounties activated
The mission bounty should only be assigned on Second Sundays.
And/or we should be able to rearrange our mission badges.
