Optima and Lucida challenges - any news??

@NianticBrian @NianticCasey Can you give us an update on the two missing challenges in the series?! Please!

Peolpe need something else to do than just building fields 🙄

Or did Covid19 infect the Nemesis sequence?! 🤔😂

  • Yeah. Can do global challenge with the drone hacking instead of doing missions


    and the other well.... we already done fields,explore,deploy, glypinh, shards, focused badge soooo



    Last one could be forused on XM recharged?


    cmon think of doing global challenges while still,promote stay at home or social,distance

    A good example of how people want something more than just drawing triangles! Keep it up! Well done!

    The Nemesis sequence has come to a close. Instead of doing challenges for those characters Agents instead did decoding and other puzzles to gain intel and ‘compete’ against those Nemesis members. You can see the challenges we faced in The Tessellation subboard in The Investigation.

    Niantic just needs to update the social media and other places to reflect that the Nemesis Sequence has concluded.

    I asked Brian on twitter the other day about this.. guess they are cancelled maybe now that tesselation is over :( i hope not i want them

    The badges that were planned to be monthly challenges showed a Nemesis character...

    Optima and Lucida challenges never happened because of covid and Tessellation was improvised to become a badge after the fact (don't like how it was done but live and learn). More focus was done with the Tessellation via codes to acquire pieces versus hacking a portal.

  • They could,offer the last 2 badges as store loadout kits feat more cubes and some flip cards if any pretty please :)

  • Plenty of other character badges they can sell for that, no need to do that to earned badges.

    From memory the challenges were related to Trekker and Spec Ops (missions). It would be great if Niantic can give some indication as to whether these events are going to resume when the pandemic is over. I for one, would really like to go out and do some missions when we are allowed outside again - but if there is a going to be a challenge related to missions, I would rather wait for that.

    If they are big on the whole Drone thing, why not have a special Drone setup that can do up to say 100 missions (or a set amount under the Onyx Tier). Speed them up so can move up to say 6 kph? (that should be a brisk walk). Then allow them to hack to be able to do (most) missions...


    2 Special badges

    Tiers for

    • Missions Completed by Drone (24, 48, 100) ?
    • KM traveled by Drone (20 km, 40 km, 100 km )


    Something like that. Just a thought...

    but we never had global challenges based on trekker or doing missions, so even if tesselation and nemesis is over we can still get them? i miss challenges... or do something with drones.. safe to do from home and no need worry keep distance to people....

    Drone challenges could be heavily impacted by the geographic disparities between high-density and low-density areas, so a challenge that involved them would have to be very carefully crafted to avoid those limitations. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where getting my drone 50km from home is a trivial endeavor but for someone who lives on a small portal "island" it could be difficult to go more than 1-2km.

    Number of hops in a single flight might be an interesting one. How many times can you move your drone before it gets sent home?

  • EvilSuperHerosEvilSuperHeros ✭✭✭✭✭

    No idea. Just an idea. I had to go drop my drone off elsewhere because I can't use it from my house. It's wandering around a few green L8 portals. 100 bonus AP per gylph!


    Well actually...if they had a menu or interface for the Drone that would allow you to leave it somewhere based on their own sandbox, or if you had the coordinates?
