    Agree almost 100%! Trekker and drone global challenges seem like no brainers. A mission challenge might be tougher as it could encourage people to travel more, but pairing it with a drone challenge could solve many of those issues. Resos destroyed/deployed or total glyph hack points (NOT uniques) could be good as well as they don't encourage distance travel to go unique hunting.

    Perhaps decode challenges could be given (similar to the Tessellation) that grant passcodes with 1,000s/10,000s of redeems with LOADS of resos or bursters so people aren't forced outside to farm gear forever for these destroy/deploy challenges and factions are encouraged to quickly solve and distribute passcodes amongst themselves, leading to more coordination/community building.

    There are soooo many options for safe(er) competitive global challenges, yet once again, Niantic's inability to communicate is killing this game. @NianticBrian does a great IUENG AMA, then goes silent for months except for a *few* obscure forum posts.

    Wishlist:

    No double 8s. Unneeded.

    Q4 in person FS. Bureaucrats have work to do.

    Something to encourage big, beyond individual and individual box play. What will engage from the comfort of home?

    Throw plot/lore into the hands of individual agents. What will a recursed agent do if they have to do something for the greatest good instead of just themselves or their scoring box?

  • IMO double r8 cause wholes neighborhood being full lv8 with 4 shields, making it impossible to be beaten alone, making the game incredible boring.

    Given we're discussing how to generate community, you're actually arguing for it by saying that one person can't play alone...

    Portal captures / ownership to count towards Septi scores.

  • - chase users who cheat by hacking the gps. recommend not to use rooted phones.

    Niantic currently does not allow anyone to play Ingress Prime if the phone is Jailbroken or Rooted. If the rooted phone fakes not being rooted, well enough to pass SafetyNet or the iPhone equivalent, Niantic can't tell that it's rooted and prevent play.

    Third faction? Too late?

    I think the last one was removed coz of privacy issues. But at the same time I think the way this output is displayed on Intel or Comms can be managed. Eg. Reposition every new joinee message to the center of the Cell.

  • It was inconvenient for their original format and never came back.

  • Regarding the Avatars, the problem becomes that the more you have, the less people buy an individual one, and the cost to develop it starts to outweigh the profit from it. And if you're only making a small profit from the work, it doesn't cover monthly running costs like salaries and server time beyond the initial work. That was the problem with Key Lockers originally.
