        <description><![CDATA[<p>It has come to the NIA’s attention that Nemesis - specifically the operative known as Helvetica - will soon be summoning copies of an array of Prime Artifacts from across the multiverse to our Earth. Helvetica intends to harvest those artifacts towards some unspecified end, and claims that it is in our best interests not to interfere. But we cannot allow their plans to succeed. As such, the NIA is incorporating collection of these artifacts into the upcoming Field Test operation, to facilitate collection of these Artifacts by Ingress Agents around the world, to keep the Artifacts out of Helvetica’s hands. We estimate that if Agents collectively harvest 13331 Prime Artifacts, that that will be sufficient to prevent whatever Helvetica is planning. Good luck, Agents: Aurora defeated us last month… we must hold the line here.</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/221\/7E8NVZQU8UYY.png&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;CollectArtifact_bno98gain226ub.png&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:822227,&quot;width&quot;:1000,&quot;height&quot;:1000,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;large&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

        <description><![CDATA[<p>These days with the kinetic capsule event, all players will be disappointed not to have the gold one! because the KM count is not correct! You can check that the game does not use the step counter, neither the distance nor the gps route! I was able to verify that no matter how much you walk, it only matters that you are playing, interacting and every forty 45 min is that it counts 2km, as long as your gps speed does not exceed 30km / h. What a cheat having to walk 7 to 8 km in real life for the game to count 2 km!</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I started the FT event with 2,089km walked in my scanner. With four minutes left before the end of the event, my scanner rolled over to 2,092km and I thought I had completed all of the requirements. However, once the event ended and I got my results, I found out that the measurement was precise down to 10m, and that I was almost .5km short of the minimum. How were we supposed to know the measurement was going to be this precise without being told, and how can we possibly know whether we’ve hit the necessary stat if the badge statistics are so imprecise? If trekker will be used as an event stat in the future, there needs to be an event-specific number in the Ingress profile so we don’t miss out on badges we should be getting.</p>]]>

The next round of anomaly will be the first to be Prime only, just think at this. </p><p>The results of this field tests made me decide to not partecipate in the next round of anomalies.

I tracked my stats with Agent-Stats and the Trekker badge logged 4km difference between the beginning and end of the event.</p><p>Due to the issues of the game, many people were ineligible for gaining the badge to the event. Please provide an avenue for players to lodge a ticket to rectify these issues so that we can gain the badge that we earned.</p><p><a data-username="NianticAkshay" data-userid="18" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticAkshay">@NianticAkshay</a> </p><p><a data-username="RedSoloCup" data-userid="6476" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/RedSoloCup">@RedSoloCup</a></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>By now it is obvious that the most complained about and misunderstood stat in the hexathalon was Trekker.  Reading through posts I see a lot of agents either overestimated how much they moved in game, moved too fast, or just didn't pay attention to their personal event stat page.</p><p>I personally was able to score 4.3 km, but was actively going for that stat well before the end. Even then I was a little worried because I didn't want to drop progress on the stat by switching to my stat page or to the event map to find artifact portals.  Now your other game, Pokemon Go has this cool thing called Adventure Sync. While I don't think it is optimal for ingress to always have this, in an event like hexathalon it would be very useful. Having Adventure Sync built in to ingress but only having it turn on after hacking tje start portal at the beginning of the event means that agents would be able to track and get credit for Trekker while away from the scanner. With the city map of artifact portals being an integral part of this event, this means agents could use the map to navigate around an unfamiliar city and still earn km walking. Then have adventure synch switch back off at the end of the event</p>]]>

As mentioned on the Field Test event pages, we wanted to proactively explain in advance that due to the experimental nature of these events there was a possibility that issues could arise.  </p><p>Because of the various issues Agents experienced, we will be awarding all Field Test participants with the in-app Hexathlon medal if they did not automatically receive one. The medal will start to appear in scanners by the end of next week. </p><p>Thank you for helping us test and explore the limits of what the Ingress scanner can do. To any Agents that did not have a positive experience, we are sorry, be aware that the information collected will help inform and shape future events and improve the Ingress experience for all Agents. Your efforts were not in vain. Thank you for your continued support! </p><p>-- The Ingress Team</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>There was some thought yesterday that the Field Test format would make a really cool First Saturday event, with a few slight adjustments; I took that idea and ran with it:</p><p>Three tiers of awards,  for basic participation at a fixed level, basic participation at a higher but still fixed level, and  competitive.  (So three scanner badges, one that ticks for each event, (cumulative with current FS badge) one that ticks for each second level  score, and the shiniest badge that ticks for each competitive win.) </p><p>This could be a paid event, with first Saturday organizers who currently spend money on swag and prizes spending their money on event fees instead, and a transparently budgeted player org subsidizing fees for lower income countries/areas.  Ideally Niantic would waive fees for the first event or two in a region so people could gauge interest risk-free, and scale fees thereafter by attendee count history. But always and forever free for players. (The more I think about what it would take to make this fair and accessible the more complicated it gets.  Maybe I'm on the wrong path here.  Better suggestions welcome.)</p><p>Media portals would need to be chosen carefully -- the basic six clumped close and **** accessible, the second tier more challenging, and the third tier designed to stretch those legs. </p><p>Add a badge category based on destruction.  It's frustrating to destroy a bunch of portals just to give other players deploy slots. (I'm not salty about this personally because I ran out of resos yesterday, but other people get annoyed at the challenge sometimes.  At least at a FS event you can win AP by just bursting.)  It also balances out scoring opportunities in areas dominated by one faction -- the outnumbered faction gets a lot more stuff to destroy. </p><p>This should go without saying, but a more reliable scoring system, particularly for Trekker. </p><p>Would people be interested in this kind of thing?</p>]]>

Because of easy to achieve challenges we were able to complete them fast and have time to get to know each other as community.</p><p>Unfortunatelly because of problems with Prime, some our agents were not able to complete 3 km requirement. It crashed or even didn't want to work, often froze on black screen. Those who doesn't have access to Redacted were unable to play. </p><p>If there is a possibility to check if they did complete challenges but Prime didn't count them correctly, please Niantic, consider doing it.</p><p>Once again, thank you for Field Test.

This will include some agents who were not actually on site and did not participate, but it is impossible to work out who.

<p><br /></p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p><p>While Hexathalon was intended to test the limits of the system, it is clear the majority of agents met or exceeded the set tasks. Should the event be run again with the same metrics, and if the system didn't collapse, I think these would be reasonable tasks to set:</p><ul><li>Collect at least <strong>12 </strong>media artifacts</li><li>Make at least <strong>50 </strong>successful portal hacks</li><li>Deploy at least <strong>100 </strong>resonators</li><li>Deploy at least <strong>30</strong> mods</li><li>Gain at least <strong>60 </strong>glyph points</li><li>Walk at least <strong>3.5 </strong>km</li></ul><p>Slightly more challenging but achievable by the majority. However I would allow a little more time, say 3 hours in total.</p><p>Whatever the tasks, there will always be a long tail and some extreme outliers.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>During the Field Test we have seen (and tested) this new feature. We all know there were major issues with some stats not being correctly tracked and people not receiving a medal due to it. That's not exactly what I want to look at here, however stats have been incorrectly tracked !</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what has been observed:</p><p>People who arrived late were not able to hack the registration portal, Their stats however were tracked and in some instances they received the medal as well despite not having hacked the registration portal in time (it was hacked long after the ornament was removed from the portal).</p><p>It even gets a bit worse. There were many people that signed up Field Test that did not show up. This is nothing new, there are always more people that sign-up then people that actually show up. But those people that stayed home and played also had their stats for the Helvatica increased. These are even visible on the leader board. This is a group of players that were not even playing in any playbox for any Field Test location.</p><p>I absolutely do not care if they get a medal for Field Test or not, as long as everyone who actually participated get it. Even if they only were too late to hack the registration portal as they did actually help in testing. In fact, its due to them that this came to light. I am bringing this up as this is a major bug in the automatic stats tracking mechanism that if left unfixed could cause more issues down the line during other events. It could even be abused by not playing at the event location but remotely.</p>]]>

<p>So today I was lucky enough to just have 4 hours of trains/buses to reach the field test.</p><p>I used ingress prime for a great majority until Ingress Prime decided everyone around was to be glitched out. By this point I was already #1 for Artifacts.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who are looking what’s the best way to get the maximum 50 Artifacts. My trick was to  Glpyh hack - heat sink - tap hack - Heat Sink - Tap Hack move on. Unless an agent from a different faction was around using bursters in my Green Heat sinks. </p><p>Each portal allowed you to hack 5 of each of the 10 Artifacts. So collecting the 50 to hit the best possible score was the easiest way to obtain the badge. The Scores for my location highlight that this category was the easiest to get a high score in. (I also placed in elite for distance.) The other category’s were just casual play.</p><p><br /></p><p>so hopefully someone reading this hasn’t yet done their field test and can use the Heat sink trick to maybe get 50/50 Artifacts as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>but I really enjoyed the day</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/882\/5SVV1TEGD8PH.jpeg&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;7AEAE9F4-C5B8-43B3-B9CC-B77CDA364FED.jpeg&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:170088,&quot;width&quot;:827,&quot;height&quot;:1319,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;large&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

You can't unregister, but I still played during the time frame of the event. </p><p>I ranked in multiple categories even though I never went. I was unable to get the badge of course, but I feel like this is extremely unfair for people who are there and trying to rank and having to compete with people who aren't actually there. </p><p>Please make it a requirement to hack at least one of the play box portals in order to rank at all in any category.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>The location chosen for this event is on a campus which has several rules that I was notified of, and am sharing them here. If you are coming tomorrow please be respectful of these rules. And contrary to what you may think that this is an ENL imposing things on RES, this is not the case. </p><p>Also, remember to bring a bag to hold your swag as well as money for a sno-cone if you would like one, they start at around $4 a cup. </p><p>I have created some maps and they are posted on the TG. </p><ul><li><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Ft.me%2FAuroraCOFieldTest" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://t.me/AuroraCOFieldTest</a></li></ul><p><strong>**Campus Rules, Policies, Tips for Ingress Field Test September 14, 2019**</strong></p><p>**C-23 has been marked with a green * on the map**</p><p>1. No Smoking on Campus. If you vape please try to be respectful of those around you. </p><p> 2. No Pets on Campus. </p><p> 3. No bikes, skateboards, scooters, or rollerblades along the sidewalks going from Education to Research, going through CHCO (Children’s Hospital), Eye Institute, Cancer Pavilion, Anschutz Inpatient or Outpatient Pavilions, or along the “Library Cluster”. Generally, if there are sidewalks, no “wheels” please. If you have a wheelchair, scooter, or other wheels <strong>due to disability, that’s okay.</strong> These are mostly noted on the non-google map as “major pedestrian walkways”. </p><p> 4. Please be respectful and dispose of trash in trash receptacles located along the “paths”. </p><p> 5. Parking is available, but please be respectful and PAY for parking.  The closest lots to C-23 are the back lot of Kiowa and Julesburg, and each one has a pay station. If you can’t find parking there, feel free to park at Georgetown or Ignacio. Please do not park at the Barbara Davis Center as that lot requires a code at the pay stations. I have marked these on the map with a blue *. General’s Park is NOT recommended since it is used by some patients for UCH Emergency overflow, and those gazebos/picnic shelters are almost always reserved for parties by the community each weekend. They are also the furthest lots from the “home portal” C-23 (marked on the map). </p><p>6. Try to avoid crowding around where the roads leading to emergency are. These are marked on the maps. </p><p>7. Restrooms – it is against policy for anyone with a badge to allow non CU Anschutz people in to buildings when the doors are locked, which will be the case during this event. Therefore, if you need to use the restrooms during this event, I recommend you walk into either the UC Hospital or Children’s and find the first publicly available ones on the first floor. Please, do not ask me or other players who have access to locked buildings or back entrances to let you in for any reason. You must use the entrances along 16th Ave. </p><p>8. CU Anschutz, Children’s, UCHealth, and Aimco have contracts with certain vendors. I do not want to see any of you who have created swag and may be selling it get in trouble, so please do not sell it within the playbox or campus area. You are more than welcome to go anywhere else off campus and park up there and do what you wish. Free swag is okay. </p><p>** And a major note about swag and food – this is during hours when people are naturally going to need some kind of snack or libations because of the heat. On the map, you will see that there are tables where there will be swag and bagels. Please bring a bag or something to carry these in. We have visitors guides, pens, and stickers from Visit Aurora, and mobile device sleeves for cards etc. for your cell phone from CU Anschutz. Woodgrain Bagel has generously donated various bagels for tomorrow and a very limited amount of pastries (including 4 gluten free cookies). These will be ready to go at 2 just north of the start portal at the bistro tables across from “PolioPlus”. Kona Ice will also be set up in the front lot of Kiowa, and I believe it is around $4.00 a cup or more for a sno-cone with a flavor of your choosing. </p><p>9. Last but not least, I want to thank immensely those who have helped organize and supported this event:</p><p> -Carl and Cory at CU AMC and Agent TurnCoute  for their assistance during the last two and a half weeks – I am indebted to you for your time, and your patience during the many email chains and chance meetings in hallways and other meetings.</p><p> -Visit Aurora for the guides, pens, and stickers at short notice. </p><p> -Woodgrain Bagels for their donation of bagels and pastries at short notice.</p><p> -Kona Ice of South Central Denver for being willing to come at short notice.</p><p> -The Agents, Trainers, and Wizards of Pokemon Go Anschutz, thank you for your love and support always, I built this campus for you (and I’m not done yet!),thanks so much for being the best group I have ever played with in all the cities I have lived in!</p><p> - The Agents of COEN for your support (always and especially this week). I know that to many I am not your ideal player, but I do try my hardest to do what I can when I am able to. You have helped me to grow as an agent and get me through some hard times since I’ve moved here. There are too many of you to name here. </p><p> - Agents from various cities I have played in (and a special shout out to <a data-username="Bihotz" data-userid="20435" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/Bihotz">@Bihotz</a> , <a data-username="SirStarburst" data-userid="6251" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/SirStarburst">@SirStarburst</a> , and Spam) who helped me figure out how the heck to play this game so I could improve my communities, or otherwise assisted me when I’ve needed you. You know who you are and I would not have stayed motivated to keep in this game without you. </p><p>I hope that this goes well for everyone, and if it doesn’t, I tried my best. </p>]]>
