[phoenix title] [Recurse Only]
in General
Simulacrum Medal outside: recursion bow tie will not appear on this medal. -this will not change-
_The Change_Unleashing_The_Phoenix_ will occur once the Simulacrum medal count reaches 2 (ANY faction)
-A reason to recurse a second time-
Similar ideas for the Sojourner Medal count reaches: 1331
NL-wings vs recursion bow tie, lol

What's the reason to recurse a third time? Or like me, a fourth time?
4th, probably not due to faction change.
¿access kits.. stacked in caps? lol
{This discussion is meant to encourage legitimate gameplay medals}
The problem is, at it's heart Recursion was a stop-gap measure by a product manager who didn't really get the game, looking for easy ways to expand, without adding levels. Realistically, the best outcome would be to remove Recursion and go back to ever expanding AP levels, with tangible rewards for gaining those levels without overpowering gains.
You can make something that encourages "one recursion" or "two recursions" but it quickly becomes either back to "No reason to recurse again" or your rewards become overpowered.
Better to return to lifetime AP and look at level 17-24 or even to 36.
Just make the later levels so much AP that people have a long goal ahead of them.
A Change………..
Founders- :gasp:
Prime agents- *rejoice*
I have no idea what your picture is even showing
What about adding a Retirement Badge after one recursion. Would love to get one inspired by the Halley's Comet 😎
Bad changes for the sake of change is worse than no change at all. Most of the objections by more experienced players aren't because they don't like change. It's because they can extrapolate the situation in the future, and see it as a less enjoyable game. Just like when Frackers were first announced, and all the experienced players thought it would destroy standing farms, and the community that evolves from those congregating points. And it did.
Changes that are good, are good. Changes that are bad are bad. Change is not a simple positive.
Also, my response was actually a larger change than yours, but sure, "Founders hate change."
No Retirement badge. onyx everything with a forever lvl1 profile is enough lol
How about only being able to access level 17-24 on a Recurse, and then 25-30 on a second one? To add more of a point to it.
@Mr1800GetatMe , not even a celebratory champagne badge for retirement? One can tell Niantic is really auditing their expenses....
I'd imagine the numbers for level 24 to be spectacularly high, so having to go back to 1 and start over again might be a bit much. And possibly confusing if you get to 16, then suddenly get bounced back to level 24.
Badges are 6-sided.
First time thru - get the badge.
Second time thru - one edge of the badge changes color. Bronze maybe.
Third time thru - another edge changes color. And so on until all 6 edges have turned - 7 times recursed for that badge, or 7 times onyx for other badges.
After that, the edges can slowly get changed to another color. Silver, then gold.
If that's still not enough (Niantic has stats on how many people have 19x), The color change could be by half edge.
