Key Duping - Gone for Good? Will a Kinetic program ever happen?
Considering it's been months since Quantums went away and there has been no mention of a key duping program in Kinetics since a brief line in one of the announcements that Quantums were going away before they did, is it safe to assume that idea has been shelved?
I've been avoiding using the rare kinetics I have in the apparently vain hope that a key duping program was on the horizon but the more time passes the less it seems likely.
Kinda wish we'd had maybe a little more heads up that key duping was going away permanently, there are a bunch of hard-to-get keys I wouldn't have recycled back when I was slimming down my inventory to head to an anomaly in LA last November had I known it would mean another hike to the top of a mountain to get more.
I know there are a lot of people on this forum who have expressed their opinion in a negative way toward key duping, but I wonder if that's the consensus of the majority or the opinion of a vocal minority? Would be cool if we could do a poll...
Re: This is NOT a healthy game to play.
Why would it be wrong for a level 4 player to see this as an example of the game? I'm level 16 many times over and I see it. It isn't the entire picture of the game but it's definitely part of it. People do drive and play, also people troll players until they quit. You can't say it isn't happening. If there's more bad players than good players it's not a fun game. And let's face it, a lot of the good players already left.
Re: Kinetic Capsule Pricing
Rare kcaps just feels like a crummy bait and switch. From decently hackable or almost not hackable and being placed in the store. Would of been nice to have some transparency on their plans.
Re: This is NOT a healthy game to play.
The reply @EvilSuperHeros made about checking his account is pretty spot on about the toxicity that's in this game. Like you really need to check someone's stats to weigh their opinion? Get over yourself.
As much as trying to get past bad parts of the "good ol' days", it's still a reality that some people experienced (or still do to this very day).
Re: Restructuring the forums
I don't think this is going to happen, along with lots of great ideas that were bandied about when Thia first joined us.

Thia did the first thing by making sure none of Niantic reads/replies here anymore :-)
Who are the Pony Riders? We asked Chat GPT…
The Pony Riders are a group of Ingress players who are based in Utah. They are known for their use of horses to play the game. The group was founded in 2014 by a group of friends who were looking for a new way to play Ingress. They decided to use horses because it allowed them to cover more ground and reach more portals.
The Pony Riders have been successful in the game. They have won several large-scale events, and they have helped to expand the Resistance faction in Utah. The group is also known for its positive attitude and its willingness to help new players.
The Pony Riders are an inspiration to other Ingress players. They show that it is possible to be successful in the game without using cars or other motorized vehicles. They also show that Ingress can be a fun and rewarding experience, even if you are not able to play it in the traditional way.
Here are some of the things that the Pony Riders do:
• They use horses to reach portals that are difficult or impossible to reach by car.
• They participate in large-scale events, such as anomaly and field operations.
• They help new players learn the game.
• They promote a positive attitude and a sense of community.
The Pony Riders are an important part of the Ingress community. They are a source of inspiration and a reminder that Ingress can be a fun and rewarding experience, no matter how you choose to play it.
Black screen after accepting new terms and conditions
After accepting the new terms and conditions today (may 8 2023) the screen remains black. Game sound can be heard. I cleared the game cache, I reinstalled the game. No luck, still black screen.
Device: OnePlus Nord (AC2003)

This is NOT a healthy game to play.
In the short span of time I've begun playing I can already tell that this game comes at a huge cost for money in transportation costs as well as the mental health costs from psychological abuse by the tormentors that specifically focus on forcing the attrition of opposing faction members. I can only imagine the amount CO2 wasted and the amount of hostility and violence that has escalated as result of this real world "capture the flag" style game. The friend of mine (from a completely different city than mine) that recruited me to play had me convinced that this would be a good way to make new friends here where I just moved to. I've found that it does quite the opposite... it's the fastest way to make new enemies. I just don't need that in my life, so forget it.
