[Discussion] A vision of Dark XM Klue
NIA received a message from P.A. Chapeau:
I found myself in a vivid dream, or perhaps someone else’s reality. As “I” walked down a dimly lit street embellished with an array of festive Halloween decorations, “I” spotted someone in a zombie costume. Although her appearance did not precisely mirror that of Klue, “I” knew it was her.
The fake blood on her had an eerie but familiar color. A color that reminds me of devastation, disorder, and otherworldliness. It was the unmistakable color of Dark XM.
The “Dark XM Klue - Halloween 2023” bundle will be available in Ingress Store from October 28, 2023 UTC through November 17, 2023.
As always, please remember to be aware of your surroundings. We encourage players to follow local health and safety guidelines when playing Ingress. For the latest on in-game events and feature updates, be sure to check https://ingress.com/news

Store offering to go with it.
**** them. Not even a single paid medal, but another damn whole 30K MU bundle.
Now we have three of them. Is Niantic that desesperate for money?
This is what it is costing us few Ingress players who help keep Ingress going.
Ingress is still a fun game, and some of us are happy to keep funding the dev team
The badge sold me, really like the look, anything else they threw in was extra.
And if the price is too steep for you now, wait a year, it'll probably be offered as a badge only.
Here in NZ, it is already too steep, has been for a few years now.
NZD $35
Would you pay that price if it were USD $35?
At $35, I'm sure I would wait the year.
Hallowe’en badge + mention of Dark XM again? It’s like someone has been reading my Ingress wish list.
Very expensive badge imo.. what happend to seasonal 2500 cmu badges ??
I am surprised they didn’t also re-offer the old badges too.
Agree with the general sentiment that most people just want to buy the badges, not all the extra **** that gets bundled with them. Same goes for the character badges during anomalies... surely more would be sold if it was just the badge at the appropriate price without being forced to buy another eleventy-twelve kinetic capsules?!?
It's has been like this from a while, sadly (at least as for new cosmetic badges). It feels like they were tired of the 2500 CMU price tag and decided to offer them with some extra gear as an axcuse to make them expensive.
6 months after the end of the origins kits, they're going to have agents burnt out from core monthly, swag kits monthly, now 30k cmu holiday badges. We've reached the same tipping point of excess that made the cadence of PoGo unhealthy.
Ingress 2024 = The financial cliff for the game. Been calling this for months now.
Want more money? Drop beacon/fracker prices significantly.
u are right, after the core increase i doubt we will see those seasonal badges again atleast not for the price we had before that low..
Brian explains the thoughts behind the price.
Seasonal medals, if coming back, seem like they will be same price.
It’s due to it being a character medal + a seasonal medal.
to me its a character badge clearly. Either way its convenient for niantic to put such price and pretend its ok.
Also what is the reason throw in the other stuff for the badge? to mark up the price i guess like its a bundle u dont want miss
As PAC found this “Dark XM World” does that mean he’s infected ready for Hallowe’en 2024?
Yall keep buying these. Maybe we'll get those new backends after all!
30K CMU is 3 months of core, after price increase. Not much else worth spending CMU in store anyway, nice badger))
The problem is, let's think about other seasonal character badges...
Oh.
I’m sure there’s more to come…if PAC is in the “Dark XM World” then they can do more.
I'd get that one on a half of price without that useless loot.
But will they? You know the answer
I should get started on messaging them now ready for next year.
