    Finally a design I like, but don't really love the idea of buying a medal over earning it. I might grab this one later one, but as of now, going to pass. Very curious about the medal design for the upcoming event, wish they would tease that one...

    nice badge :D

  • I agree with many agents wanting medals for special events and not just buying them.

    Very good design! I liked


    "In Greek mythology, Hyperion was one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky). With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).

    Hyperion was, along with his son Helios, a personification of the sun, with the two sometimes identified.John Keats's abandoned epic poem Hyperion is among the literary works that feature the figure."

  • Medal acquired ! But I'm still waiting for that NL1331X 2020 medal that was promised to be in the in app store 😒

    Ingress artists look like to be into Retrowave. And I love it!

  • Gostei, quanto mais medalhas melhor.

    I can't deny outrun design and vaporwave aesthetics... I'm in

  • Remember when medals were earned by hard work instead of this pay to win rubbish Niantic are spoon feeding us nowadays?

    Come on get it together Niantic!

  • I like the design but I prefer to earn medals not buy “shinies”.

  • ArtilectZedArtilectZed ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like to think that Niantic is keeping some graphic designers employed by having these badges made, and I'll always support that.

  • What utter nonsense is this?

    I like the design, even if it is an overused and probably plagiarized motif.

    Bought the badge as I haven't bought one in a while, mostly because all the others being offered are hideous or incredibly plain.

    I like the idea of having a medal that you can purchase that can be upgraded as long as it doesn't count towards leveling... At each tier you could get a loadout if you work towards it.


    I think that can really add something to it... I'd be more likely to buy a metal and I'd be more likely to get out and play.


    Here's a question for you, should there be a time limit on being able to upgrade it? I think there should be otherwise eventually everyone's always gets to the highest level on a long enough timeline.

    Rough example...


    Hyperion purchase for bronze

    Silver - 10 portals captured - loadout 10 bursters 10 resos

    Gold - 10 fields - loadout 20 bursters/resos, 1 Jarvis and one ADA, Hyperion beacon (which folks could place when they get gold to immediately mark the achievement which breeds a little bit more life into the observable gamescape)

    It’s winter in southern hemisphere. Why don’t you provide Wintergreen/ Winterblue Medals again?

    Stop northern-centered thinking.

  • Yes. Agreed. Time limit & not count towards leveling should be more interesting & fair.

    About time limit, maybe during the events. So there's more reason to get out & play to earn higher (purchased) medal.

    About actions shouldn't count as leveling is great, so purchase a medal didn't seems like a pay to win actions. But the mechanism, i didn't get how it should be? (Maybe) A dropped mission/task without AP but counted in purchased medal stats that should be done in certain time.

    *Let's explore this #TierUpgradeOnPurchasedMedal idea. Maybe there's another agent & NIA have same opinion.

  • Yes. But need to keep the loadout gained shouldn't be a "pay to win".

    i like the idea of having different versions of the same badge depending of:

    - your level

    - progress of other badge.

    - progress in an event.

    so lot of agents can have Hyperion if they buy it but with different apearance (colors, borders, etc..)

  • MonkeyPeltMonkeyPelt ✭✭✭✭

    Brilliant! I could see an issue with people complaining that they had to initially "buy in" to the challenge. Perhaps the base (free) challenge could earn up to gold tier and if you bought the paid badge you could earn up to onyx and/or get a loadout with each medal tier. I would love for the highest loadout tier to have some good VR gear (Aegis or ADA/Jarvis) since it would require a LOT of gameplay and could only be earned once per account.

    I’ve proposed this exact scenario each time these medals come up. For anyone too afraid to go outside, the tasks will be there waiting for them when the life vest can be removed or the police don’t ticket you, lol. I play PoGo maybe once a month, but I’ve got like 8 of those quest things lined up if I get bored enough.

    I think there are reasons to have medals like the optima ones where we all do them at the same time, but these clipart medals should still have some sort of effort put into them or, as suggested, a tiered option. You wanna buy clipart medal, you get this one, wanna complete the tasks associated with them, you get the slightly different clipart medal. The Knight of Tesselation medals come to mind.
