So, Level 8 week as an extra event and then the new 2sDay thing and that’s it really? That makes 3 quarters with a real lack of events then sadly.
I was hoping we would have a ingame badge event but seems we will not get one and later its the usual double ap and anniversary badge in november :/ really low effort from niantic on give us so called events imo
They could have end of september give us a machina event, infect all portals worldwide for one week and we could chase that new badge but seems niantic only focus on anomalies as i said earlier this year which is sad because not everyone can or even afford go to such....
This is not how you grow the community user base
Don't want to know the tech limitations these people are on.
Yep, continued low effort. I’ll likely be out after the Tacoma anomaly. Not enough engagement from this game at this point, along with a multitude of other reasons, some related to the game, many related to personal reasons, but I was honestly hopeful that something would change eventually and they’d get back to fun and challenging medaled events.
Its obvious that’s not the case, which is so puzzling considering their interest in bringing new folks to the game. Throwing anomalies halfway across the world that new folks can’t participate in, isn’t a good start for new folks.
B3ating a de4d horse here. Niantic, you’re a joke…
This isn't an airport, you don't have to announce your departure. Niantic has this data on engagement.
and you're not obligated to comment on my departure either. But here we are...
Brian says he reads everything posted here, so I'm gonna make sure he understands what a p|ss poor job he's done the past couple of years... IMHO.
I'm not obligated? It's a public forum. If you can't take the criticism, then don't post.
You're not obligated, but you're obviously able. Same as me to announce my departure. Is this tough for you to comprehend?
17 September: Ctrl Anomaly is a typo. Or a brand new Sunday-type anomaly 😃
I think the 8-8 double AP event IS an event, and so are anomalies.
There's the new way to contribute globally to the Aug & Sept anomalies. And a new way to do Second Sundays in August and September.
I notice that Second Sundays will be missions again in July, and you can choose mission or Agent Ops in August. It's only Agent Ops in September.
A Machina event would be great. Sometimes they add events in the middle of a quarter - maybe this? That new badge has such killer numbers... surely they have something up their sleeve to make it possible...
One badge event every 6 months is the minimum they could do and nobody can say they feel burned out right but looks like we got just one badge event in march and thats it ☹️
Overclock Glyph Hack duration increased to 80 seconds
That kind of implies they think the current duration is fine outside of special events, which is sad.
For comparison;
We had two restocking weekends, level 8 day, a primary site and impact site anomaly, as well as Peace Week. Along with the usual IFS & SS items.
Anyone know what this is in level 8 week?
8 levels of challenges
I'm just super excited for a drone cooldown event. It feels like its been forever since we've had one.
Worth noting the official post was updated.
Also, seems weird that after this weekend, that’s it for events until First Saturday. Hope we get a decent flow of events again one day.
Still waiting on that Halloween 2022 medal… 🎃
I believe it was planned for regular events from August, utilizing the Agent Ops task system.
But this is speculation/wishful thinking
We can at this point rule out the rest of year hoping get any real events besides the anomalies that will run to end of year.
Q3 MD infos anyone???? 2 weeks in july, nothing???
@NianticThia @NianticBrian
@NianticAustin
Can someone clearly explain the CTRL Anomaly series?
thank you for the anomalies that we can't join if we don't want to travel hundreds to thousands of km... well... I'm really just waiting for ingress to die like other xy games from niantic
The only thing still bother me is Anomaly packs worldwide. Why not sell them only in dedicated cell(yes i understand that that's money).
Before, my friends and I had a subscription, we bought either ingress or pokemon coins. But after what Niantic is doing, spending money on "new games that will never be released", we canceled it and haven't successfully spent anything for a long time... there is no reason.
Its annoying, but obviously they need the money at this point to keep the lights on.
One of my locals buys max of each of the packs each anomaly weekend. It's easy to tell by their deploys. Granted they get a lot less VR shields now tho
Do you think we get something in October ? one month before double ap in november as usual but i dont think so atleast not a badge event which is shame.. only 1 so far this year which isnt alot really
What does this mean? Why do we settle for so little? This must be a joke. It cannot be that the great company of this calendar of events, nor an indie game has so few events in its monthly calendars. It is a mockery for the few remaining players of this game. Niantic is definitely looking for the game to die. And on top of that, the players do not appeal against it, they are satisfied just to see how the game day after day becomes more pay to win.
Halloween event, right?
insert 2500cmu badge in store?
Two? We need the 2022 one too.
There wasn't a Halloween event before 2020 though.
