A few point on missions
1. Subscribers should get more missions.
2. It would be great if you could get more if mission total amount(thumbs up)/20 = bonus mission stack 180 mission base count + 300(total thumbs up cross all missions) = 15 new missions. Set whatever rate you want Niantic.
3. Least favorite option. Purchase more missions for CMU. Perhaps as an option in missions.ingress.com not in app.
4. Missions should be able to group and submit in bulk. Like folders for missions in Authoring tool
5. Please add an option on each mission where we can select the next mission. I create a banner called Hamsterdance, I create all 6 missions and point that Hamsterdance 2 / 6 comes after Hamsterdance 1 / 6. The scanner then suggests Hamsterdance 2 / 6 as the top choice then completing Hamasterdance 1 / 6 etc. this will solve some issues in areas with a lot of missions available and some heartbreak when there are missions with similar titles and images on the same route.
6. Please allow an option to pause/unpause the mission groups as long as your mission count allows for it. There are people who maintain seasonal banners that might be nice to utilize on the same count of missions. (already approved missions)
7. Please add a option in the mission group to send an additional unsliced image and information to make it simpler for Niantic to approve missions.
8. Please add a statistics screen to the missions.ingress.com to track statistics for missions. (active, paused, amount of agents that did the missions etc.)
9. PLEASE make the map zoom in to where the last created mission stopped. Zooming in from the world view every time is stressful to sanity.
10. This is the big one.
Rebuild the entire workflow of mission.
Start by selecting the amount of missions the mission group should have. And in one session at the map point out the entire route for all missions.
Next step Authoring tool has assigned totalmission/missions in group amount of missions to each mission.
Import images and unsliced image to missions.
adjust.
Enter mission texts and mission group name.
Send for approval.
Comments
Just as a heads up, more Missions will likely not happen in the near future due to some backend shenanigans slowing down the whole tool.
Yes. The tool is slowed down. Thats is exactly why they should don number 4.
Having all missions load at the same time is hard to navigate and creates load.
Its not the amount of missions in the system as Brian says help other agents create missions instead.
+1 on most.
Some good points.
In addition to untangling the difficulties of creating a mission, the process for evaluating missions should be reworked - someone appropriately described it as a Random Rejection Generator.
Rejection reasons need to be made more transparent.
I agree. This is one part of point 7.
If you could send in all missions related to one banner or group at the same time, Add extra information for exaluation.
Then they could approve/reject the entire thing in one go thus allowing for a more stremlined process and have some time to add a relevant comment on why.
