game interactions blockade
This is more a general bug report about ingress scanner behavior. Since some days actions like set/upgrade a resonator, recharge, deploy mod etc lead to up to minute long blockade of the scanner.
This will be fun to play an anomaly at the weekend :)
Key duplication was suspended, when will it come back?
Dear peoples of the Niantics, at some point in time you have decommisioned the quantum capsules, and at that time you said it would return as functionality in the kinetic capsules.
I also heard that this functionality is not on the roadmap anymore. Which I think is a pity for our PITA portals.
I can understand it if your game is to discourage large fields, but then just say that.
For the BAF fielders the fun is gone, and I think both factions enjoy organising BAF's.
Can you clarify wether or not this key duplication will ever come back? #askingforalotoffriends.
Cheers,
Agent disturbinator
Re: Campfire Ingress Official group is chaos
The official Ingress Campfire group is more for telling Pokemon players they're in the wrong place rather than actual Ingress-related discussions. This has actually been happening in Ingress groups around the world. Pokemon players join everything and don't read what the group is for.
Re: Dear Niantic please stop and ban KOL promoting tools violating ING ToS in semi-official channel ASAP
One common tactics the players I report would use frequently is finding problems from replies of my thread made by other players, not from what I said. They intentionally generate quarrels and instantly ask forum moderators to close the thread "because there are players not respecting others in the thread". Sorry for my being mean to you if you actually didn't intend to do so to prevent those players being punished as they should, but is just keeping click that button on every comment of mine in this thread simply because you don't agree with me, which makes it hard for me to identify whether you are of them or not.
Nevertheless, I would prefer this thread to live longer before (I don't know, Niantic Legal Department? Niantic Operations? maybe) someone from Niantic (my imaginary) could get more information. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Re: Dear Niantic please stop and ban KOL promoting tools violating ING ToS in semi-official channel ASAP
Looks like players from that channel came like a swarm to "disagree", with their obvious violations of building, using and promoting scraping tools that break Niantic Data Security policy and Niantic Terms of Service.
Someone from Niantic Legal team should really step in and deliver probation to those cheaters.
Re: You are losing control over the red link part 2
I do love all of the L8 Machina portals that are hanging out in those private golf clubs, or middle of the gated communities where pogo players just had to make new useless poi's.
Re: Machina is just killing player engagement.
It's actually motivating me to play more. I seek out the red because it's fun to blow through it.
Re: Key multiplication feature
I'd prefer no key duplication, let's go hack our gear again.
Re: Agent Ops update - July 2023
See, this is the problem with Niantic. They say they’ll have something to deliver and then can’t. In reality, would have been easier just to say, hey, we’re working on this thing, hope to have it ready by this quarter, but it’s a work in progress, may not see it until Q4 or even later. Not a promise, but a worthy way of hyping something many of us have been hoping for.
Niantic and their communication 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😂😂
Re: Machina is just killing player engagement.
@mortuus The beauty of Ingress is that you essentially create your own fun. Some people really love microfielding. Some like throwing big fields. Some like chasing badges or stats. Some like doing big banner missions to explore an area. Some people like blowing things up.
I'm not generally motivated by stats, but I'm not immune to their lure. I absolutely love blowing stuff up. Typically I prefer tearing through an entrenched P7/P8 farm, but Machina is also fun for me. I'm also trying to keep my ratio of destroys to deploys at 3:1 so that I can wear the Hosette the Destroyer nickname with honor, and Machina is a cheap way to balance out the times when I've done more building than smashing. It's also a good way to plan a road trip and pick side excursions.
In short, different people find different things fun in Ingress. That's choose-your-own-adventure aspect is what makes the game fun.
