The giant pile of Apex boosts, this time in song

  • The number of apex felt so familia, I had to take a look and I there they were.. I actually mailed the support, to have them remove my apex, but they couldnt help me with that.

    The numbers of apex, beacons (not battlebeacons) and fireworks do really takes up inventory. So its good to see someone else also noticed. Hopefully they will do something about it soon. Otherwise, the 500 extra spaces would be nomore, since there will be 500 apex occupating it..

    @Amaterasu00 I mailed support a few weeks ago and they also declined to remove them.

    Beacons don't bother me because they have an impact on the playfield and even have a small strategic value.

    I forget to use them. I don't scroll that far right in my inventory very often. I have 63. Shoulda used one yesterday.


    @hosette  I actually considered that a while ago but realized that my actual MU captured was visible with simple arithmetic. With double AP there's no way to figure it out.

    How about keeping the Apex AP arithmetic simple, and burn multiples of 10 at a time? 10 x 500 = 5000. Or, for even simpler math, burn multiples of 20 at a time, for 10,000. It's easy enough to subtract a X from the tenthousand column.

    @MargariteDVille That could work if there was an Apex Boosts Used stat... which actually seems like a good idea.

    @Hosette, just use the Apex before you sleep every night and stop your CORE subscription so you won't accumulate those items. Problem solved!

    I mean passcodes give you ap too and it's not from gameplay. I'm not seeing a difference. Seems like a petty thing to complain about anyway.

    @Otrera35 That would be fine if I didn't get AP for using them.

    @VenomousToad My actual complaint is that I should be able to recycle fungible items that consume space in my inventory, and if I can't recycle a fungible item then it shouldn't consume space. (The former is a better solution, IMO.) If I want to recycle beacons or frackers or apex there's no reason I shouldn't be able to, since I have an easy enough mechanism for re-acquiring them. Compare this to, say, premium raid passes in PoGo. I can recycle a hundred of those at a go if I want to and the only thing in my way is an extra popup that asks, "Are you sure you want to delete these premium items? This cannot be undone."

    I'm generally not a fan of "If it works for one game it should work in the others" but in this case there's no difference between Ingress and other games that should drive the difference in behavior. If it's in my inventory and I can get it back I should be able to recycle it. (There's also a PoGo analog for non-recyclable inventory items, e.g. the camera.)

    A trade in system would be good for non droppable items, like, if I traded in 8 apex I could get 3 frakkers or something like thay

    But why are you so asinine about the 1k AP? The days of "pure" gameplay were long gone.

    It is unlikely that Niantic will allow a trade-in system because it will reduce their income and they are already in the red.

    @Hosette, using an Apex at night before going to bed only gives you 1000 AP while canceling your CORE subscription will address your accumulated Apex problem. It's a straightforward solution.

    @MoogModular As I said it's my personal quirk. I don't want the additional AP. Why are you so disagreeable and critical of what is a reasonable request (the ability to recycle purchased items)?

    @Otrera35 Cancelling doesn't make them go away, and basic arithmetic shows that it doesn't address the inventory space issue. It would take 9.X years at the current rate (48 per year plus one annual double Apex bonus) for Apex boosts to consume all 500 slots that I'm paying for.

    Thats why I said 8 apex for 3 frakkers, that's not equal value, its much worse, but for me apex is a complete waste of money, but frakkers are worth it

    It seems like unnecessary programming for the developers to do. We all can't have custom things done to our account because of personal reasons. I'm surprised Niantic spent time adjusting capsule colors for accounts when they permitted people to have a 6th key locker. It just seems so minor and that programming spent on more productive things.

    Applying accepted photos to portals would be really nice.

    @MoogModular I'm not asking for custom programming, and I'm not asking for individual adjustments like changing key locker colors or manually removing them from my account. I'm asking for a feature to be returned to the game-- one that existed before, that they already have a design pattern for in other games, and one that benefits everyone.

    Since we had this feature before it's entirely possible that the code is still there and is controlled by a flag either in the code or a database.
