Is the NEW NL-1331 2021 medal the old NL-2020 medal? Is it a joke? Wouldn't it have been better to call it NL-1331 2020 unpublished medal in the store? Or update medal name?
Whomever was in charge would be sacked at most companies.
False advertising.
Broken codes.
No quality control.
Awful campaign management.
Costs involved in fixing it.
Brand damage.
If I seem harsh, sorry, but this was a big deal for me, I've been unhappy since Niantic stopped physical swag. (Along with many others). I was excited and even complimented Niantic on bringing it back.
But to sell out in 10min and have no fallback, (and sorry a different pack doesn't cut the mustard) then find out all the other issues is just too much.
I have been telling my community Niantic are improving and encouraging people to buy subscriptions. Pfft.
So the "I want as few others as possible to have it, so I can feel special" bunch will be disappointed...
Personally, I think it's a good choice, but wouldn't it have been a good thing to announce this before releasing the birthday kits? I wanted the physical items, but I know some people bought the kit just to get the NL medal.
Also, I really want the ADA 2015 medal (it's actually the only one from the past I want). Will that be available through the in-game store as well, or do I need to try to get one of the kits?
But am I to assume by the lack of acknowledgement from Niantic of the other issues presented ( missing second vr load out cards and missing passcodes on the bottom of character cards) that we need to wait for brand fuel to address these issues?
I understand businesses have business hours but there are a few of us who are having these issues who are disappointed that Niantic hasn't acknowledged the rest of our issues outside of the van codes. Especially since you have actively commented on this thread outside of business hours. We blindly bought these kits from Niantic not brand fuel.
If you would like to personally discuss this I'm positive you can find my contact info and I'd love to help out anyway possible to resolve everything as painless as possible.
Maybe you file the code in 2021, but it was intended for Tax/Fiscal Year 2020?
Anyway, hopefully we can look forward to additional NL-1331 Year-Badges for the Chinese (4719) and Hebrew (5781) years, too! Just a tiny bit more complexity...honestly, I ask you: what could possibly go wrong? ;)
At least they didn't remove your critical and straightforward comments, like what they did in Wayfarer forum: remove old posts in batch permanently because they see those posts as completely uselss.
Can you at least have a date? And the exact time is better. People sit for hours by pressing F5🤷🤦 Why is it always that related to Nia is not easy. With all due respect. As a fan and player, he is old of all three games. And the first line is written differently, does this pack include the NL 2020 medal that you wrote about earlier? Thanks.
Comments
Got it @NianticBrian
@Pixelbytes the NL-1331 2020 Medal was originally uploaded for NL-1331 meetups that were going to happen in 2020, but were postponed because of COVID.
How many states are there?
2020 is the year that refuses to end...
We want physical swag, not in game redeems... 😞
Now, That's a nice design badge!
So, @NianticBrian, the passcodes, please?

Umm shouldn't that be mentioned in the description then? You are advertising 2021 medal and it says 2020 on it.
I don't think I need to explain anything about false advertising to you but Comon man! Communication. 😡
At this point I don't think I'm going to go even redeem the code. I'm beyond tired of 2020.
which also means the passcode has not be tested before the selling of those kits. very impressive

All digital badges needs be sold and offered in the ingame shop later on i hope otherwise its unfair.
Right Brian?
@NianticBrian Thanks for fixing the van codes!

Thanks again for your continued attention!
So glad your doing a digital version for all us non USA players, great news!!
Does it mean like this ? :
Thank you
Yeah. Will only the nl-1331 2020 medal be available in the in-game store? Or the other 3 as well?
He has only mentioned the NL badge be available later in the store so far, the others i hope will also be available aswell.

Tax year ends before the year is calendar year is over. Fiscal year is usually October 1 to September 30.
The kit we bought will have NL1331X 2020. Does the N1331X 2021 currently not exist ??
At least they didn't remove your critical and straightforward comments, like what they did in Wayfarer forum: remove old posts in batch permanently because they see those posts as completely uselss.
nothing learned in 8 years... unbelievable bad experiences still every release you make/made... #stillbeta ;) and you still wonder??
NL-1331 Medal code worked for me.
Waiting to hear from Brand Fuel about the missing Load out card, since it sounds like they will handle that aspect of it.
A website covering the development of this fiasco would certainly make Niantic do something though
My NL-1331 Medal passcode did not work after the push. Still says Invalid.
Has anyone heard back from brand fuel?
Ingress Team, can you provide any insight on all of this?

The other 3 WAS sold in in-app store at about late 2019. I don't think Niantic would push them again.

Hi🤠 Coming Soon? 🤦🤷🤨☹️
Can you at least have a date? And the exact time is better. People sit for hours by pressing F5🤷🤦 Why is it always that related to Nia is not easy. With all due respect.
