That was quick. Medal looks nice. Also I’ve seen this info!
Additionally, starting Thursday, December 24th and up to Friday, January 1st, at 9AM local time, P.A. Chapeau will reward agents with item passcodes, which can be found in the News tab inside COMM!
I grabbed the medal, though, don’t actually think it’s a great design.
And still wishing a simple set of tasks were attached to these. Currently a participation medal and wanting more of a medal you actually have to do something besides open your bank account. I think PoGo does this, right? Timed ticket events?
Like the idea, bought the badge, but.... the font here is awful. It looks like the default your computer gives you when the typeface you're using doesn't actually have a number set. Century Gothic or Gill Sans or Roboto would have looked so much better.
Una medalla que nos recuerda que el próximo año puede ser mejor, afrontar con buena actitud el futuro que nos espera. Me gusta la medalla y económica. Gracias 😀
This is an excellent idea. I actually like the medal, but I haven't bought it because I don't want a medal that requires nothing but cash among my medals that took solid gameplay to earn. Now if they had attached a set of tasks to complete in order to earn the medal, I would probably have gone for it.
We need to acknowledge, however, that there would have been a hue and cry from the community in that case, because challenge medals (such as the Didact Field Medal) have always been free.
Nice shiny! Much appreciated Niantic. Don't forget to release the archived characters too @NianticBrian I still need some to complete my collection. Happy Holidays!
I'm done with these trash festive medals unless it's tied to in-game actions or lore. I deeply regret buying the Halloween one. I'm more than happy to pay, but I want it tied to actions or lore as well.
I too wish there was something I had to do in order to earn this badge, even if it was pretty trivial. I want my badges to reflect achievements rather than just being shiny objects. I'm pretty sure I have a couple dozen character badge cards around here that I'll never redeem. (No, I'm not offering them up. That would require me to find them.)
Though I suppose "I survived 2020" is an achievement.
I'm torn between my desire to give Niantic money and my desire to not have an unearned badge on my profile. I guess I'll just compromise and buy some power cubes rather than farming them.
I like earn medals dont like the new system Niantic have and we must buy medals. I hope we can buy somthing new and nice in foture and Niantic stop with selling medals. Can Niantic stop selling medals when covid-19 are over in the world?

At this point it is still unclear if COVID may outlast Ingress. Remember when we thought COVID would be over in a couple of months at most?
I think it is fine to sell festive / character badges - they're cosmetic and serves no in-game advantage, and if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. Does it really upset you if other people buy it with their own money? Niantic should continue offering free badges that requires gameplay to earn though. I'd be more disturbed if it is a pay + gameplay medal.
I wholeheartedly concur. Right now selling festive medals (for only $2.00 USD btw so it’s not breaking the bank AT ALL) is all Niantic can do. We all know the whole fiasco with Eos Protocol event. That was the last time Niantic offered a possibility for a free medal and a lot of people vilified it. It’s clear Niantic can’t really offer any free badges for in-game participation without facing major backlash. It’s still impossible to say whether or not any events will be coming in the near future. So please just HAVE PATIENCE and stop demanding things from Niantic when it’s clear they’re just trying to provide something for Agents to enjoy and still earn themselves at least some money.
As has been said before, if you don’t want to spend money then don’t get the medal, easy. Just wait until the next time Niantic is able to offer a participation-based new medal when it is safe to do so for at least a majority of the Ingress population.
I'm not gonna have this one because I don't want to estimulate a paid yearly badge that is nothing but the number of the year. Next year we are gonna have to pai for 2022 too? An 2023 them?
There's not even any kind of ingame event together.
I get the halloween badge, because it is atemporal, and they can just recycle the same badge every year (meaning you can only get it one time in your profile, maybe get a +2 on it), But this one with the number labeled on it will be a pass for me. I would consider it if it did not had the number tag and was just the fireworks...

Niantic, shut up and take my money!
Man, this is such a pretty medal. Yoinked instantly, for only 2500CMU it's a steal. Please continue with the festive badges, I love them so far :D
