Re: Why the 20m proximity rule for portals needs to be reduced or removed
You could scan stuff instead with all the extra free time? 😀
Re: [Discussion] Happy Haulidays from Ingress
I'm hoping to get back haptic feedback during glyph hacks without having to explicitly turn it on via device settings which results in annoying vibration for every single button pressed 😊
Re: The Enlightened have won ANOTHER anomaly series.
ENL , particularly N.America based ENL were so incensed by the blatant deus ex machina that happened in Chicago 2019, that never again was that going to happen became a mantra.
Re: The Enlightened have won ANOTHER anomaly series.
It was after the Resistance win for Go Ruck, Ko Lan, Thailand operation.
It was quite the monumental win, which enabled the Resistance worldwide get a badge, Enlightened did not and have been spur ever since.
Ground XM was blue for about a month, and the Osiris glyph sequence only mentions Resistance.
Re: The Enlightened have won ANOTHER anomaly series.
There has been both green and blue XM on the ground. And red, orange, yellow, purple... I'm of course talking about the Pride month XM which everyone except me hates.
The Enlightened have won ANOTHER anomaly series.
Despite Calvinball rules requiring we fight off a 33% score differential.
I mean, you COULD just say the green XM is for Christmas... Since the inception of the feature, we have never seen green XM on the ground.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
data, Niantic wants to build their database. What better way to get data then to throw an event... (which we've all been begging for all year) And we can complain all day long about scanning and how we will or won't do them, but when it comes to medals in our scanner, most of us will set aside almost any complaint to make sure we don't miss a new medal...
So here we are, Niantic clearly not working with each game to make sure it works well. Not only does the Ingress team release features at a beta stage, they release events at a beta stage as well, lol. Oh, you want VPS activated portals in your town, you will need to figure out how to enable them, which you won't be able to use your in-game login, so anything you do in the wayfarer app won't count towards your in-game stats. Oh, you figured out how to get into the wayfarer app, well, even if you can figure out how to get enough scans, our servers will struggle with the load and it will take several days or longer to actually get more VPS enabled portals in your town. Oh wait, you have some VPS enabled portals in your town? That's cool, except, our overclock feature is still in beta testing, so it could work for you, but also, it might not, so you'll need to learn how to read the glyphs upside down or mirrored.....
Re: [Discussion] Unveiling the Evolution of “OPR Live”: recognition of excelling in Wayfarer Challenges
I've not reviewed for a while, decided to get me this nice medal and help give back to the community.
A submission of an overpass over a motorway pops up. Usually I'd 1 star and move on, but now you select thumbs down for it, and I'm asked to select a reason. Except, it's not a school or adult location or generic business. So... are random overpasses now suitable wayspots? Location was right, it clearly has safe pedestrian access...
Oh good I'd say it's not really a meeting spot or a community interest point, but thumbs up on everything else makes me fear that somewhere an overpass has just been created as a new and "exciting" location to explore!
This can't be right surely?!
Re: [Discussion] Unveiling the Evolution of “OPR Live”: recognition of excelling in Wayfarer Challenges
According to the definition "Is the location a permanent, physical, tangible, and identifiable place"
yes, an overpass is indeed permanent and physical tangible location lol
They need to simply add "other" as a reason for a location to be inappropriate so we can say "its a random overpass..."
I really dislike the quality of some of these submissions that if you follow the new "guidelines" you're kind of forced to either mark them incorrectly as generic businesses or accept bad submissions. And you just know there are pogo players also accepting them just to maximise the gyms/pokestops.
I think once I get the medal I'm going to stick to just submitting spots and review less regularly.. I also notice I've dropped out of "great" for the first time which disappoints me too.
