Redacted skin as a feature in Prime

I would like to be able to make ingress look like the Ingress I learned to play, and I dont think I'm alone on that. If I am, it's because older players got sick of prime an quit for good. Players quitting for good is bad, right?

Sorry guys. I just dont like prime. I'm not trying to ruin it for those of you who supposedly do like prime. I just want a game I can recognize.

We're all very proud of you developers who worked so hard to ensure that ingress could remain as a playable game into the next decade. Thank you. I know it wasn't easy.

We're all very proud of you developers who worked so hard to re-imagine an existing game, and to make new graphics for the new decade. Thankeasy. I know it wasn't easy.

We're also all very proud of you for rushing the process to ensure there would be no gap between the old, and the new. We're very proud of you continuing to fix bugs, and improve the experience. It's been a lot of hard work. It is very complicated, and we appreciate it all so much.


That said, prime just isn't satisfying some of us. And I dont think it ever will. Loosing redacted will be hard. It will be hard like losing a friend. We made friends we never could have without redacted. We saw things we never would have without redacted. We've come to trust redacted, and love redacted as if it were a great friend. Prime just isn't redacted.

I know there have been a lot of changes to the look, feel, and game play of ingress over the years, but those were gradual. This has been abrupt.

I know prime has been around for about a year now, but redacted has been around for seven.

I know we should just give prome time. You know we already have. For about a year now.

We've been patient. We've tried. It's just not what we want. We want our scanners to look like our scanners used to. We want our buttons to be where our buttons used to be. Maybe not all the time, but definitely some of the time.


And this isn't just about old players. How will new players appreciate all the work put in to re-designing prime if they have no idea how redacted was?

  • They said that’s not gonna happen. But maybe they could make a prime-like skin that resembles redacted?

    i don’t know if that will ever happen but it should along with removing the headache inducing button feedback animations.

  • If you want it, you gotta ask for it.

    I want it.

    I rather see them fix the game, invisible xm, app freezing when cycling keys etc... a redacted skin is likely never gonna happen it dies soon and niantic should forget it.

    Ninatic has already stated in a Telegram session that they will not maintain more than one UI.

  • I think they're making a big mistake with regards to which of their UIs they invest in.

  • A classic look skin would suffice.

    I don’t mind adapting and getting used to Prime UI, as long as I can clearly see the items!

    The translucency and the overly fine lines are just too hard for my eyes.

  • Please please please let us have a redacted skin!

  • I second that!

    The prime UI is not only unfamiliar but my far less efficient, usable and clearly visible than the redacted UI used to be.

  • Like there weren't already enough posts asking for a Redacted skin. But hey, what's one more?!


    It's not happening. Move on.

  • The prime UI is not only unfamiliar but my far less efficient, usable and clearly visible than the redacted UI used to be.

    Using it would make you familiar with it. And clearly you're not using it enough, or you would never make the claim that it is "by far less efficient". that is just not true

  • I agree here. I can't stress enough how much the Prime switch devastated me and my friends playing the game. It's horrible. You know the old saying "don't fix what ain't broken"? Well, classic example come true. I used to play a lot. We all did. But ever since redacted was taken offline and Prime is the only option, we stopped pretty much all operations. It's a horrible layout, drains battery even worse, visually disgusting, and not worth having or playing anymore. I was telling everyone about ingress before Prime. I loved ingress before Prime. I wish you guys would've left both redacted and prime as options and personal preference. But you lost a good 10 players in my neighborhood, easy. I don't speak the words "ingress" anymore. You guys let me down with Prime. That is all. Holler if you bring the classic back, even as a skin🤞(but I ain't holding my breath)

  • Prime is much harder on my eyes I play less and less now.

  • We might use prime more if it want so hard to see everything. Sounds like a chicken/egg issue.

    "Use prime"

    "We don't like it. It's hard to see, and hard to use. We want Redacted."

    "Redacted is gone. You have to use prime."

    "We dont like it. It's hard to see, and hard to use. We want Redacted."

    "If you used prime youd know its better"

    Redacted is gone. We've had to play on prime. FOR MONTHS NOW

    we still dont like it. We still want Redacted.
