Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
I finally tried the overclock thing and it has to be the most useless thing to do in the game. At least I can say I tried it but since it does nothing for the game I can't say I'll ever do it again. I can glyph a portal without waving my phone around like an idiot. There's no benefit to scanning in Ingress. If that's the future of the game I think I'll pass. These events just aren't doing it for anyone.
Re: Concerns re: Spoofing [A Dedicated Thread]
Wooow. surprisingly, niantic banned a clear spoofer fast after 30 ~ 1 h after my report. But that was a clear spoof. going with enormeous speeds in brussels, captured portals after closing time and was in germany the same day earlier. and being lvl 8 with 15 km walked all time . So in this case niantic did good job.
Re: Why the 20m proximity rule for portals needs to be reduced or removed
I would like to see the 20M proximity rule reduced to something more like 5M, with that number being chosen as an approximation for how close makes it too hard to click on portals. I just got back from a smashing run where I capped these three portals that are roughly 3.5M from each other. Capping them was slightly frustrating because they were too close together (but somehow I managed to soldier on.)
Re: [Change] Shift AP bonuses for portal resonator placements
It is useless to fully deploy a portal if you don't intend to link. Fully deployed portals facilitate shitlinks.
Overclock Glyph is almost never highlighted, very difficult to see
Whenever I begin an Overclock hack session on a portal, the glyph is almost always very thin, dark, and barely readable for me. I am expecting the glyph to be properly highlighted so I can easily read it in all conditions, but this almost never happens.
Screenshot of the initial tesseract deployment. The first glyph is WAR:
It took me several seconds to find the correct position to confirm the WAR glyph, and it remained unhighlighted the entire time, with the glyph lines basically blending in and looking like the tesseract borders to me:
This essentially makes Overclock unplayable for me in certain lighting conditions.

Re: [Discussion] Operation Chronos
No self-respecting Ingress agent should be afraid of looking weird. We're all weird here.
Re: [Change] Shift AP bonuses for portal resonator placements
Single-capping is a legitimate way to play just like fully deploying is. If you think that fully deploying a portal should have a larger bonus then increase the bonus for deploying the 8th resonator, but don't reduce the initial capture.
I think it would be fun to have an AP bonus for unique captures. That would increase the incentive to explore new areas.
Re: ERROR: Unable to request a Vps Activation
Rumours are now circulating that the LightShip devs have deliberately shut it down because they are upset at the sudden uptick of Ingress agents signing in to activate portals.
How the four-asterisks did the Ingress team expect to run an Overclocking event with no Overclock portals and no officially recognised method to activate Overclock portals?
Niantic: we need more VPS data. Let's run an event.
Agents: here's your VPS data. Gonna activate my portal now.
Niantic: stop giving us VPS data, that system is only for proper developers!
Re: Feature suggestion: "No Items" glyph
This exact attitude is what keeps the developers from allowing this game to stay relevant. Ingress gatekeeping at its finest. Some agents did it this way just fine ten years ago, so it has to be that way forever or else some made up founders union will write stern letters to Brian. Which doesn’t matter either since I’m sure he ignores those just like he ignores these forums.
Appeal by Ban by COMM
Today, May 21 at 23:16, 2021 (GMT-05), the following message arrived at my email, where it indicates that I violated the policies of INGRESS and for that reason the privileges of the COMM have been temporarily suspended , then attached the image of the mail.
My person is totally dissatisfied with this sanction, since when I wrote in the COMM it was not something offensive or insulting to any agent of my own faction or of the opposite faction, if not my comment was impotence since I witnessed the facts in the real world where two agents of different factions were fighting over the portals (in a few words they were mammulating each other) and when I realized that there was no one in the real world, I had the audacity to say BRONCA DE FLYS in the COMM, to that this type of illegal activity that goes against the policies of NIA, can stop between these two agents.
My person is totally dissatisfied by this 30-day suspension for telling the truth and witnessing it in the real world, my annoyance and my helplessness is that NIA does nothing to sanction these types of activities and less to this type of players than in truth violates NIA policies.
