I suppose this is Ingress’ version of Pokémon GO’s Spotlight Hour which they’ve done for a while now.
I am at work during that time. Thanks, Niantic...
Maybe you could, as I’ve seen suggested, set your phone to upload scans during that window and reap some extra AP if you can’t get out.
Also a shame to have gone from 2 hours to one now.
Starting today or July 4?
Today. Agents already past this timezone confirmed double AP
at least Niantic thought ahead
Sounds like this doesn't work right now either, lol. Oh Niantic.....
Yeah. Seems odd given that they are after Scans for Overclock. Maybe next week
So you're just gonna disagree with everything I post now @MoogModular
You must be a joy to live/play around...
Hey, that's not a bad idea at all. I don't need AP that bad tho, but I will take that in mind if I need to.
I'm reading that there's issues with scans/overclock at the moment, classic Niantic 👀 I'll better stick with doing nothing by now, then.
Yeah, maybe stack your scans and see if it’s fixed for next week
Is Niantic noticing that agents have a lack of available AP or have a hard time gaining AP? or just something else to try to push in the store? It seems like the store has a new red button on it every day (ie it changes nearly daily).
Maybe both? They tried this before with the 2x2 events they did for 2 months but I think a regular weekly mini-boost is nice.
I think this is a great idea. Now I'm more likely to plan to be out and about Ingressing that hour every week. I'm also more likely to go ahead and recurse again. I have so many Apexes from subscribing; need to use them up for the inventory space.
Likely it's just so they can have a server stress test once a week.
Providing a double ap hour every week is encouraging. It's not excessive and creates incentive to play. It's a good idea.
You're the one complaining about not getting AP from scans (like anyone does scans, right? People have to look for something to complain about it any updates.)
Big question I have is, will Ingress servers be able to handle the potentially extra agents out playing at this time? Just scale up/down as the time change around the world?
It will be able to handle everyone except you. If you think you will be affected, you will be.
I finally recursed on Sunday yet again. In the initial 2 hours that it took to get back to L8, I had to restart the client 3x due to lag or it just freaking out. I only had to restart the client twice yesterday during the hour I played. I guess I choose the right time to recurse. 2x AP for an hour each Tuesday, 3x AP in August. This time around will be a cakewalk!
I've got over 70 saved right now, so maybe I have a reason to complain....
But like you stated elsewhere in these forums, these are public forums, so we're free to post as we like, popular opinion or not....
i have zero need to stress for little extra ap but those recursed has i guess. the hour active isnt the best chosen either
For most of the year I have a standing appointment at that time so it will be easy enough for me to dodge the double AP. Thanks Niantic! (-:
Seriously, I don't begrudge anyone else getting double AP... it's just not my flavor of fun. Y'all enjoy it.
That logo, though. What the heck is "2SWAY"? Or maybe it's "2SΦAY"?
It's the Apex icon but yeah they tried to bold it out for a D to show
Picked up 1.28 million AP in an hour last night. Walked off that extra food I ate at the work BBQ earlier in the afternoon. Made it to L10 as well. Not too bad for a park that was mostly already captured, and no Machina portals in an hour.
Why this company insists so much on flipping the finger to those who are trying to have a life?
Not applying the bonus to scan uploads makes sense given that a player could just stockpile scans and upload them during the entire hour. I think the hour was intended to get people out and playing at the same time.
Agree with this. I can keep my scans and upload them all in November on an APEX instead I guess.
Been out for the hour and got a few fields up. Was nice to have a walk and focus on Ingress.
I would agree if it was during Saturday or Sunday. But for some reason they decided to put it in a hour on a Tuesday, when people is usually... well, working. If they want people to go out then choose a day when most people isn't busy maybe?
Well, it's just an hour per week by the way. I'm not gonna make a fuss on it.
