Re: Button for scan missing with updating of Ingress
ARDK 3 uses almost entirely in camera AR not relying on other sensors.
I've told Brian to migrate ingress to ARDK 3
There is definitely a disconnect between what the Lightship dev states and what Brian believes
Re: Ingress 2.90.1 Release Notes
Stop trying to retcon the purpose of the feature. It was brought online before the 20 meter rule so its intention is absolutely for portal dense areas as well. I don't know how the flow can be interrupted when you know you're expecting a second menu to pop up to choose a portal.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
Trying to Overclock before work is a no go, it's not light out enough to get a calibrated overclock scan in. But by the time I leave the office, its getting dark, so same issue. This should of been pushed off til Spring, and given us notice so we could actually attempt to get some OC (overclock) portals setup to use.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
Would have been nice if Niantic pushed all the eligible VPS portals online prior to the event, instead of leaving it to the players without any direction. Additionally, Players can only activate up to 20 Wayspots without getting errors on wayfarer thus further discouraging activation & additional gameplay…. Another event fumbled by creators.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
This overclocking had to e the worst thing I've ever done in a niantic game. 75% of te time I can't even see the lines, when I can it's another 20% I can't even tell what direction its meant right be. Then maybe 1% of the time I can guess the correct glyph. The lines need to be much more pronounced. The time limit needs to bench higher as you're spending g most of it tryjg to work out what you're looking at. And it needs a lot less moving around, I feel so self conscious trying to find the angle
Re: Chronos - Impressions from Day 1
Not really, it was planned as a dev feature to enable devs to integrate VPS into their products.
But that was almost a year ago.
And I agree, that the activation process should be automated by now
However, neither Pogo or ingress show any details about how many quality scans are required before activation
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
1. Not early enough portals. Especially since there are a ton of VPS activated portals that are "experimental" which are not overclockable.
2. Not enough time to walk around the tesseract to find the right angle.
3. Buggy "reality calibration". Some portals it's fine for others just never seem to work especially in the evenings to night hours.
4.some glyphs can show up wrong. Can't even count the number of time I saw xm and it was truth
5. Bad math. I'm sorry but the calculations for points are really punishing especially when you consider how few portals there really are and the fact you only get 1 try every 4 hours if you don't have common heat sinks to burn.
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
This is where Niantic shows their incompetence.
So they have an event where Overclock is a big part of the event. Yet no where **in game** do they give us the option to VPS-Activate the Portals, or even explain how to. Not even a link to download the in-beta-and-breaks-all-the-time, Wayfarer VPS-Activate app, which is the only way to activate Overclock.
No where in-game does it mention you need to do 10 scans that are at least five hours apart from the first to the 10th scan. All it does is just keeps asking for more scans.
I’m the only player in my county that’s actively been scanning and working on activating Overclock, 6,186 scans so far. When I first started scanning and noticed it would simply tell you to do more scans after you do seven scans, then asked tor more scans, I had to go to Reddit to find out how to actually activate Overclock.
The least they could of done was give a months notice before the event started, with a detailed guide **n-game** on how to VPS-Activate the portals.
And do the event when it’s warmer!!
Re: Chronos - Impressions from Day 1
Snow on ground makes it almost impossible calibrate since most scans are when there was not and it doesnt seem to recognize i point at teh fountain. Pointless do overclock with x1 only. But i got the badge not gonna bother highest tier too much hazzle imo
Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
Cross posting with regards to the Wayfarer app status
This event has been a massive CF
@PkmnTrainerJ thanks for commenting on the topic in the wayfarer forum.
