News Alert - Labor Day Play set to Suck

US holiday weekend, hacks nerfed, frackers overpriced, can't wait to play some... anything but ingress until this is over. Ok Nia, see now would be the time for some Calvinball that actually favors the playerbase... good time to pull redacted probably, not many old guard left.

    33% less gear from glyph hacking means 66% less gear from fracking, right?

  • No, it means 33% less from fracking too. If you get 9 items normally, fracking give you 18. If you get 33% less, you get 6 items normally and 12 while fracking.


    6/9 = 12/18 = 2/3

    I'm disturbed by the combination of the two things-- price of frackers doubling unexpectedly, and then having glyph output nerfed. When you add those two things together, frackers become pretty unappealing to use for the duration of the nerfing, and somewhat less appealing after that. I used to sprinkle them around like candy, but that doesn't seem worthwhile anymore.

    The quad-output/half-time turbo frackers that we had a while ago were pretty spectacular. If it were up to me I'd bring frackers back to their normal price and create a permanent turbo fracker at double the price. I would gleefully pay double for turbos.

  • Looks like the NIA is slowly killing the game.

    Unrealistic match events, reports that have nothing but bot replies, inaccessible portals, the same, increased price donates frakers, not the birthday key locker gave the newest players ....


    Something is wrong, something is going on ....


    Strange, very strange.


    At least create a special quantum, even if it is paid, that allows to reproduce the verry rares ....


    They will lose players and not bring new ones to the game.

    I too haven't really noticed a change in output. I still get more than enough glyphing and the key output still seems to be the same. If there has been a reduction, it isn't enough for me to notice.

  • Did some people ALWAYS use frackers in a daily basis?

    Really cant play "normal", just hacking and glyphing and farming without frackers?

  • Well they could take away power cubes except in store and instead make us walk around in circles like crazy chickens to soak up the XM.

    If you are looking for reasons to complain, you will find them. Obtaining gear now is so simple anyway that there really isn't any reason to complain. Just go out and have fun playing the game.

    This moment isn't going to last long. The reduced output doesn't bother me, personally, as I love glyph hacking. Less need to recycle between hacks.

  • Reduced output was definitely noticeable to me trying to restock level 4 and 6 resonators today. Burned them up driving to a different city than usual to field.

    Game's great, and I'm a weirdo that likes prime more. Redacted launching faster and the few missing features are all I like more.
