Sadly, I can't see Niantic giving this game the "PoGO treatement" for a Halloween event. I think the last time I saw a similar level of effort in this game was when they turned the portal network into Pac-Man... and that was when Ingress was still relevant.
So yeah, orange XM + paid medal and call it a day.
Funny how some people will defend the Ingress team to the end of the earth and yet, here is a perfect example of why it’s clear they have different ideas of why this game is still around. Keep scanning agent, keep reviewing wayspots, keep those 5* reviews in the app stores plz…
Oh, you want a simple little Halloween event like the rest of the games? Nahhhh. Want another clip art medal?! Ehhhhhh, we’re still looking at the responses on fiverr, so maybe we will, maybe we won’t.
@NianticBrian you should be embarrassed with the level of effort you show this community. Hide behind your X account and give your cute speeches at anomalies to hype up the game you’ve continued to let die, month after month. Literally every Niantic game has an event except this one, how can you take yourself seriously, lol… It’s all fun and games until you’re stuck working on PoGo full time and wishing you had done more to save this game..
Same. Didn't even wait for the super easy kcap time.
Anyone interested remember, Nov 10 - 17, up to 11 caps at a time, 1 km required. Please note, the cap must be started after anniversary event overlap begins to get the 1 km. Caps already running will need to finish 8 km.
Ingress has always been the odd one out because it didn't ever seen to benefit with holiday themes. (Yes, I know Pacman was a one off back in redacted.)
We have the Niantic Lab Innovations for testing. I think it would at least be interesting to have the ability to theme the scanner on the user end. Have it similar to some forums with themes can share a style so that users can interchange the themes through import and export commands.

What do you want? Best case would be xm gets different color and you can buy 2021/2022 medal or was it 2020 and 2021? :D
hint: it wont come
Even though I know it’s true.
Ideally;
You're assuming AgentOps is fixed or even being worked on
Also come play RuneScape, there's pumpkin smashing every hour 😂
Yeah that’s best case scenario.
got a popup this morning about halloween event in monster hunter ouch
Yup. Pop ups in all the Niantic games (don’t know about Peridot) about a Halloween event, save for Ingress.

I wasn’t playing when the PAC-Man thing happened. I’m surprised they haven’t tried to re-add that as an avatar for CMU
Eh, they will turn the orange xm on halfway thru the day, and then forget to turn it off til like January. That's an Ingress event for ya!
Namco.
Seems to be one game missing here…
Yeah I get they wouldn’t have granted indefinite use of their IP in the game, but would be nice.
Sony’s partnership with the headphones could expand more. What characters have they got that make good avatars?
Still hoping for some kind of event and not just a badge sale. Even Monster Hunter got a mini event.
Every other Niantic game (I don’t think Peridot has one actually) has one on.
Monster Hunter Now -
Pikmin Bloom
Pokémon GO
Just Niantic’s own titles of Ingress & Peridot (though I would think that’ll get an event) left out.
You act shocked that there's no event? You must be new here.

I'm seeing an uptick in Machina spawn and linking. Probably for the upcoming Reclaimer challenge to get the anomaly badge.
Got the badge already doing kcaps. Finally there was a reason to use them. Normally i throw them away. Now iam full of hypercubes

And if you do not have the gear to make useful items, you can flip viruses costing only (16?) bursters, or make L1 resonators costing 5 L8 resonators.
There’s Peridot’s. It wasn’t on their site, just in game, so I didn’t see it initially.
So it is just Ingress that’s left out.
Really neat monster hunter has Story / Special modes when will ingress get ingame lore story quests ???
Why is ingress like the forgotten child they want get rid off :(
If only we got those new backends. Special events for days.
Ingress doesn't really have much AR. A creative screenshot showing your favourite overclocking hypercube maybe doesn't have the same attraction...

but also:
Niantic has only done two years with a Halloween event for Ingress. I would say more is needed beyond badges and color XM for an event here.
Because ingress is the forgotten child.
Maybe whenever we get AgentOps back up and running.
