  • you must organize your time. not everyone can be online at the release.

  • Also, these patck it's old. I saw it in 2019. I do not understand all these disappointing. Ps5 release wasn't like this.

    That may have been true 20 years ago, but in these days of "on demand" manufacturing, it would surely be possible to find another way to deliver orders of physical swag. One possibility would be to continue to take orders up until a given date, and then place the order for manufacture. That does mean that delivery would be somewhat delayed but most people would be fine with that. This is quite a common way for swag from other games to be produced and sold.

    My son regularly orders pins and figurines from games and anime which use this ordering/manufacturing method and it works quite well. In addition, the shipping costs are fairly reasonable.

  • а вот и первый продавец на ebay

    Again, its poor organisation and not listening to the user base.

    We have said for years that physical swag is popular then Niantic tease us with release then disappoint the user base.

  • It’s very disappointing when the kits are missing items 😒

    4 pages on this thread alone and not a peep out of anyone from the ingress team. I just don’t get it...

    Seriously, I give up...

    Brian offering to push codes that should already have been pushed.

    Missing items.

    Promising in game option instead of physical swag.

    Selling out in 10min.

    Allowing bulk orders on limited stock.

    Its a train wreck.

    Shut the game down and put us out of our misery. Cancelled my subscription.

  • Given that swag is less than 1% of Ingress... that's a bit of extreme hyperbole.

    You know it's not just about swag as well as anyone. It's events, cheating, bugs, lack of communication etc.

    I'll play till they pull pin, but seriously can they never stop train wrecking themselves?

    Short answer: no. Niantic won't ever do such things properly, if they haven't learned during the previous 8 years.

    Laugh on this all and being cautious to everything is the only option that is left.

    Its sad, it's not rocket science.

    The Beirut Ingress swag auction, those donating items took front and back photos of each item so each buyer new exactly what was coming.

    These were collated with a minimum value each. Auction took place through our own volunteer online via Zoom. Swag was shipped by sellers after each buyer showed receipt from Lebanon Red Cross.

    Went very smoothly.

    Half a dozen volunteers organised it.

    It feels like that is their current goal, taking out srevices, emptying forgotten stock, not looking forward to create new things...

    Just like stores cashing out before permanent closure.

    This is official merchandise that Niantic is selling. This **** up shouldn't exist in the first place.
