AP Toplist - October 2019

Another month has passed and we have some new insights on the worlds **** elite. 😉

The most important thing that happened was the tough cut to prime only. Most of the players were used to play redacted until the last day.


Where do i find the list?

Whats new?

# @ruflen is still pushing o the top but because of ghost fields in Manresa he isn't able to play properly. The fields are there now for almost 2 weeks! (Intel Link: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=41.734091,1.825569&z=17&pll=41.734091,1.825569 ) @NianticBrian are you aware of this?

# We have 2 more guys who joined the 1 Billion AP club. Congratulations to @carpediem1160 (ENL) and @coo3 (ENL).

# @moabzomg from HongKong climbed up the sheet 17(!) ranks by gaining 31 mio this month, incredible. (watch out @ruflen 😂 )

# Our newest entries, welcome guys!

# The entry level slightly raised to 368 mio.


More insights

# With Prime only some predicted some players will retire or play less. You were right! It's happening everywhere and also in this list. You want proof, ok here we go.

# AP Gain - August: 1.157.109.000

# AP Gain - September: 1.087.688.876

# AP Gain - October: 864.213.147 (-223.475.729)

Thats more than a fifth of the whole list! Playing got tougher and takes ages now, hopefully we will get more performance with the next versions.

  • Ghost Fields were also a thing in Dresden. Not fixed until we left late on Monday.

    Niantic doesn't care? Even if it was that easy to remove perma-Frackers and Beacons?

    How can I delete this mistakenly choosen Pic?


    That's what Dresden looked like after 3 days of Ghost Fields..

  • Hi Zorig😄 I'm zingekippi. Thank you for counting my AP. I'm usually playing in "Gamagori", Japan. Gamagori is a city near Nagoya. I want to compete with top agents and enjoy it even more. Thank you🤗


  • Could it be that this big drop...


    # AP Gain - September: 1.087.688.876

    # AP Gain - October: 864.213.147 (-223.475.729)


    is an indicator of the problems PRIME has for hardcore players? like gosth fields, problems for linking multifields, etc, etc, that are heavy afecting the gameplay and productivity of players of EBL and other hardcores.. ?

    As Redacted was used for the first 2 weeks, and Prime for the last two, if we attribute the drop to the last 2 weeks:

    1−(1087688876-(223475729*2))/1087688876 = 41% drop in AP with Prime.

    The real drop may be higher than that, as some players were **** with redacted before it went away.

    But it could be less than than that, as some players may have switched to Prime or quit before September and/or had low AP for the entire 4 weeks


    Factors in lower AP

    attrition - some players retired when redacted was retired. It will be more clear in Nov top list how many top players quit. (0 AP gain)

    lower efficiency - due to bugs and less efficient interface, players gain less AP compared to redacted.

    frackers - 2x price increase in frackers affects gear availability. for same price you get half as much gear, or spend twice as long farming, taking away time from game play.

    lack of 2x events - previous months has some 2x ap, but october didnt.
