So, force closed the scanner, restarted it, did the bounties... next day, no refresh. This can't be working as intended - or does Niantic think that everyone starts their scanner freshly every morning? (If they don't refresh, does that mean that if I don't finish today's bounties I can do them tomorrow before restarting the app to refresh them?)
I'm having the same problem. I finally got the bounties to refresh after a couple of restarts but now I am not getting credit for progress on the new ones no matter how many times I restart the app or even reinstall it. One of my tasks is to do a drone hack - I've done at least 4 today and no credit.
I'm having the same problem. I got the bounties to refresh after one restarts but now I am not getting credit for progress on the new ones no matter how many times I restart the app or even reinstall two times ingress. No way to complete the tasks. Please help @brianrose
It kinda surprises me how a feature already avaliable years ago on PoGO (field research tasks) has some sync bugs here, a game made by the same company and using the same engine.
I’m not a game developer so I’m probably missing a bunch of facts, It’s just that I find it curious.
By the way, as for me the only issue I noticed for now is just the little delay it takes sometimes on validating a completed task. Not great, not terrible.
This game has evolved into a solo game anyway. There's no team and no reason to work in groups. I don't even know the last time anyone even noticed there was a scoreboard. So things like bounties gives players more of a reason to play. It's not the same game anymore. So go out and do your daily bounties and get rewards. There's no reward for anything else except leveling up. So might as well get something for your efforts.
I make fields for the AP, not for the score. I just keep recursing over and over. It's become so easy to get to level 16. Bounties make more sense than the scoreboard
By the way is it meant to have bounties on remote recharge screen? Maybe it's personal feeling but i had recharge task today and while it was progressing on remote recharge screen scanner worked a bit buggy before task finished.
I am enjoying bounties. I am relieved to hear that the mission task will not be required to be a mission being completed, although I think this is a poor choice of task that relies on a previous player having gone out of their way to make a mission in your area, so favours cities ahead of rural players.
Good tasks for this are portal hacking, glyph points, capturing, resonator and mod deployment, linking, fielding, recharging threshold, resonator destruction, mod destruction, enemy field destruction, Kinetic capsule claim.
The only bad task implemented for bounties is doing a mission. MU threshold tasks, walking and scanning would also be bad and should please be kept off the bounty task rotation.
I think the rewards of L7 gear are correct. If you want L8 gear you need friends who also play ingress.
I like missions, so I'd be happy to have 'do 6 missions'.
I'd like a larger bounty, considering the effort is higher. People that do missions tend to like kinetic capsules, because they walk alot, or heatsinks, to hack a portal instead of wait for cooldown.
A kinetic capsule should be a reward for a harder bounty. I bought one using my core cmu so I could always have one unclaimed KC in case I got that bounty and my common KC wasn't close to completion
I'd like to see more variety in loot. I get that they are not going to give away level 8 gear, but mixing in some level 6 would be good. After all, you need twice as many level 6 resos as 7s.
Now i feel the balance are nice and good. Only i hope we can get 1 free fracker for do something more hard 1 every month or only 1 fracker every other month. Hope @NianticBrian listen and relese it soon. Good and new agents can test fracker and if they like them they can start buy frackers.
If you have a new smartphone that was recently purchased, this phenomenon seems to be caused by an older version of the Ingress scanning program.
In fact, PGO has confirmed that even Snapdragon 480 class smartphones can be scanned when the most recent version is implemented.
The reality is that the version upgrade has been delayed, probably due to lack of manpower on the Ingress team.
Personally, I think the quickest solution is to not do the scanning in the Ingress application, which has been delayed, but to leave it to the Wayfarer application and have Ingress only import the results.
In this case, the Wayfarer application is simply launched when the scan button is tapped.
The advantage of this is that it is likely that there will be agents who will be scanning other than Ingress portals as well.
This is desirable for Niantic.
It is unfortunate, however, that the Wayfarer team has announced that the Wayfarer application is currently closed to public use due to issues with off-purpose use.

Year 3 ingress players union (YTIPU) do you have a manifesto (or just any cool GIFs)
I would like to see the YTIPU take on the IFU in a meme debate
Where's your evidence that IFU has more than one member? :-)

just because other games do it, does not make it a good idea, or even a desired feature.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone doesn't like it.

You sound miserable as well.
The scoreboard hasn't touched since it was first brought into the game over 10 years ago
The Mission system hasn't been overhauled
These things will be looked at, eventually.
But a lot of things have to be fixed or reworked.
Ironically, many of them revolve around a task system. And all require a lot of time to work on, with just a few devs
Since niantic has nerfed and disincentivized fielding, they might as well make Cell scores all about bounties now.

Daily Bounties are in a pilot phase.
We can see with how popular they've been that weekly, monthly and event Bounties will be a thing.
I hope we can get some Kinetic capsules every month if we comple somthing and same to get Hyercubes.
NiaI hope @NianticBrian can remove the mission and we only get missions on Second Sunday.
I Like the Mission Task😃
What the **** are you even talking about
A kinetic capsule should be a reward for a harder bounty. I bought one using my core cmu so I could always have one unclaimed KC in case I got that bounty and my common KC wasn't close to completion

The ultra strikes are must welcome though
You need a connected cell challenge in your box.
Now i feel the balance are nice and good. Only i hope we can get 1 free fracker for do something more hard 1 every month or only 1 fracker every other month. Hope @NianticBrian listen and relese it soon. Good and new agents can test fracker and if they like them they can start buy frackers.
If you get a free one, why would you buy them? Makes no sense.
A free Rare Battle Beacon is a better option once Brian and the team get around to reworking the scoreboard.
You can already get a free one. It just takes 13 scans.
I can't scan portals. I used to be able to but something changed and now I can't. Kinda unfair to those that can't.
Occurrence of events that cannot be scanned.

Then it isn't free.
