Niantic bets on Subscription to make Ingress sustainable? Then subscription should have a badge which could make people "me wants that". While currently it's looking... regular.
Imagine a medal could be... I don't know, animated, for example?
I absolutely agree. What happened to all the complex designs we saw during the Nemesis challenges, @NianticBrian ? Why are we given designs that look similar to something made in MS paint? Although I am going to subscribe, I would have expected the design to have been better and surely more complex than it currently is.
After looking at it for a bit, I'm warming up to it, but I don't really think it's "subscription worthy", if that makes sense? Like, if it's a normal badge, it would look fine, but the subscription feels special enough where this won't cut it for most people, I'd guess. I'll still get it, but I know a few people that already said "bad badge".
First thought was that it was very underwhelming, I get the concept that it looks like the Earth's core / solar system / atomic core, but it looks so incredibly plain - like you went to Fiverr and paid a max of $2.50 for a design.
Subscriptions are the one thing so many people are hanging onto the edge of their seats for, we are so invested into seeing its benefits and elements. Badges are like achievements and are supposed to look good. The badge design for subscriptions should be enticing to make us want to get a subscription! A bland looking badge just requires more effort and enticement required into the actual subscription benefits, rather than making the whole packaging enticing.
Look at the recent Paragon, Knight of Tessellation and the Scout badges, they look good. Niantic obviously has the capabilities, now is your chance to wow us!
I will get the subscription either way because I want to support Ingress.
I think that’s the plan with the icon you’ll see next to their name, kinda like the recurse wings. If they can remove this medal, they have no excuse to remove other medals, I know that’s been heavily requested in the past.
I do like the border, but yeah, the medal seems a little plain to me. Hopefully we will have some lore explaining its design and I'll fall in love with it *_*
Anyway, I can't wait for the sub to be available. Shut up and take my money, Niantic!
PS: No, don't shut up more than you already have, but take my money :D
Hope Niantic do it. Make it clear and we see agents pay for subscription. If Niantic dont do it we can only buy 1 time and we cant know wich agents pay and stay for subscription.
Honestly the scanner pings haven't been bad. I only have seven pings from yesterday after the medal pushed. When subscription went live on my profile and I was discovered that resulted in seventeen pings. 🙈
I think Just the logo on the codenome will desappear.
The medal could work as follows:
When subscribing, a pack with the medal (0 CMU) would be unlocked, and players who did not want the medal would not be required to have it in the profile.

I want the features of the subscription.
No medal design could make me want the subscription *for the medal*.
including this...

EDIT: Does someone need a bit of Nurofen?
I think the design has more to do with lore.
People paid for snowflakes, why not spend almost the same amount for one that comes with extra inventory and cmu cashbacks?
im more curious details, how much bigger inventory etc ???
Here you see the new medal you get soon if you pay for subscription.
Do you like the desing of the C.O.R.E medal?
Soon Niantic relese the subscription.
Have you seen the thread already started about this very topic?
https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/13424/ingress-c-o-r-e-badge
The medal should be bronze, silver, gold, platinum and onyx.
The higher the subscription, the more options and the stronger the medal.
Looks very bad hope we can get something better with more detail and higher resolution on the medal.
Nurofen badge hahaha! Brilliant

Que medalha linda pena que no Brasil não tem ela
It's not a bad badge design, but I had hoped for something a bit grander than that.
I feel like if the badge looked epic, people would be whining it's stuck behind a paywall. As usual, Niantic is damd if they do, damd if they don't.
I actually was surprised that it wasn't tiered..those badge hunters will pay once and say good-bye to the subscriptions.
Make the badge removable if you stop paying? :)

@InvestigateXM Does someone need a bit of Nurofen?
Relief from the pain of insufficient inventory space!
You can get badges removed I believe if you lodge a ticket.
Nope.
Hope Niantic do it. Make it clear and we see agents pay for subscription. If Niantic dont do it we can only buy 1 time and we cant know wich agents pay and stay for subscription.
You should definitely try reading others discuss rather than only your owns.
This badge is quickly growing on me, oddly enough after it was applied to my Agent profile I haven't had any headaches. 🦊👍👍
How many pings you got since?

Call him Mr. Raider call him Mr. Wrong
Call him Mr. Vain

Agents would be more wondering what the features are versus the badge design. A badge design can always be changed.
