Agent Profiles are a complete and utter mess.

    Agent profiles and badges are exactly at the point where they should be. It’s the diversity that makes us so special and in love of this game. Do not force any change in it.

    2 things for myself would be better


    1) change the text to white. It literally takes less than 2 minutes to do. And allows for easier readibility.


    2). Enable a feature to move badges and mission medals around the way you want them.

    This was half implemented in the classic Ingress, where you could swap 2 badges or medals around. It never got to the state where you could do the badge or medal swap. Likely due to Niantic not wanting players to show obscene words. Still, I would like this implemented in Prime fully.

  • Would love to see a rework of our main profile page. And yes I would like to see badges that are unobtainable retired.


    My thoughts have the top lines be your anomoly participation badges, like they are now. I would love to see the dates in them.

    Below that in a separate section I would like the yearly badges placed. Would also be nice if there was a way to indicate on those whether you have Recursed and returned to 16 in that year. Might give people a goal to recurse yearly and dobit again.

    Next the stats badges. Remove the retired ones to their own section. And again add dates to when last tier was accomplished.

    Then character and special badges. I think these ones are the ones that we should be able to move around to arrange as we see fit. And hide ones that are not relivant.

    Then the final section for retired badges.


    On a personal note for Seer they should rename it Wayfarer and count all submitted points of interest no matter what game its from. That achievement should be able to be seen from any game too.

    As far as the asthetics go I've never really had a problem with how they look, never noticed that Persepolis was smaller so thanks for pointing it out and now I can't unsee it... Lol

    The Mission Day logo has always been for their events. You also have to remember that the Mission Day badges weren't originally tiered. In reality, you then had the "original logo" of the Mission Day events treated as the bronze tier badge. I think that's why they changed the design of the badge later on. At least, this is where I'm trying to understand why it was changed.

    Niantic also has a general design for XM anomalies.

    I like your suggestions. Would be happy to see some of those implemented. Let's be honest, anything is better than what we have right now.

    Another new set of lovely badges have entered the store, but I won't buy them as long as they are diluting my earned badges. A grouping by anomaly, earned, and bought would be a simple solution which would bring me around to buying badges.

    Doesn't that level of thinking seem a bit much? If you could rearrange the badges later on, I wouldn't worry about the current clutter of the profile as it will later be fixed.

    Also, I'm pretty sure there are a lot more event-specific badges than the "main" badges. After looking over this list:

    The "core" badges:

    • Builder
    • Connector
    • Engineer
    • Explorer
    • Hacker
    • Illuminator
    • Liberator
    • Mind Controller
    • Pioneer
    • Purifier
    • Recharger
    • Scout/Scout Controller (debatable but it's there)
    • Sojourner
    • SpecOps
    • Translator
    • Trekker

    "Core" badges that require events or level access:

    • First Saturday
    • Mission Day
    • NL-1331 Meetups
    • Recon

    Limited time events:

    • Aurora Glyph Challenge
    • Avenir
    • Cassandra Neutralizer
    • Dark XM
    • Didact Field Challenge
    • EXO5 Controller
    • GORUCK badges
    • Hexathlon events (initial test and Perpetua)
    • Tesselation (Knights and Paragon)
    • MAGNUS Builder
    • Myriad Hack Challenge
    • Operation Clear Field badges
    • Prime event challenges (Stealth OPS, Intel OPS, Prime Challenge, and OPR: Live)
    • Umbra Deploy Challenge
    • Via Lux Adventurer
    • Yearly badges

    Anomalies...I'm not going to list them out - just know there's been 19 (including Passage to Osiris)

    Retired badges as well such as Seer and Guardian


    Yeah, some grouping of the badges have been needed. NIA already has the anomalies grouped as they originally went on your profile when it was added.

  • The position of the badge should not be separated from the default position the badge is in, even though it has changed from bronze to silver and so on.


    XM Anomaly

    Characters

    NL-1331

    Unique Badge

    Knight of Tessellation

    OPR Live

    Intel OPs

    Prime Challenge

    Didact Field Challenge

    Umbra Deploy Challenge

    Aurora Glyph Challenge

    Myriad Hack Challenge

    Dark XM

    Cassandra Neutralizer

    Luminary - Ingress Year Four

    Vanguard - Ingress Year Three

    Innovator - Ingress Year Two

    Statistic Badge

  • We hope that the unique badge doesn't come out of its default position in the agent profile, because at this time we will get a lot of badges like this, so they don't get messy with the order.

    "If" is a very important word. Niantic have not said that arranging badges will be possible. I'll wait for the announcement before spending money, simple as that.

    I'd just request more grouping, like the anomaly badges:

    -Anomaly badges (old NL-1331 should fit here aswell).

    -Event gameplay badges.

    -Regular gameplay badges (including retired).

    -Character badges.

    -Seasonal store badges.

    Sure it is very easy to code a badge type list and then sort them by date upon showing agent profile.

    I like the set of groups you made, but I would prefer regular gameplay badges to come above event gameplay badges.

    Also, where do tiered special badges like OCF go? With regular gameplay badges? I almost think that OCF, NL-1331, Mission Day, etc should be another group since they are not available to all players at all times.

    Isn't the old NL-1331 badge a character badge?

  • MoogModularMoogModular ✭✭✭✭✭

    I imagine events would be similar to how Niantic is grouping the events.

    My opinion is the November Lima badge should have never been tiered or that having the previous badges went into the tiering because there's so many different versions of it. 2015, 2016, e 2016, e 2017, NL Prime (2017-2019), a 2016, a 2017, and then V. I don't think that's all of them but...seriously

    I guess the non-tiered versions could go into the character group
