Idea for Ingress Financials

Heres an idea


2.99 a month for an extra 500 inventory

4.99 a month for an extra 1000 inventory

6.99 a month for an extra 200 inventory and a 24/48 hour double AP which is activated in-app by each user.


Subscription based works for most companies, just not Tesco.


Thoughts?

    I think it would be better if the subscription came with other features, and as bonus a few more inventory. Not inventory being the only reason. Expandable inventory (as in go and unite), but with raising price at each pursarch, also would be better. 50 slots each, up to 3000 total maximum (1000 buyable). And maybe new accounts with fewer slots, starting at 5000 and going up to 2000 by leveling up.


    About premium subscription, it could bring store discounts, exclusive bundles and beacons, new avatars, skins, etc. And maybe new ways to play, like new portals with exclusive features, like extra mods and resos (lv9+ portals), extra links, etc.

  • Extra inventory space for km walked in the month, if you go below the required km in a month, then that space is retired

    I don't see this happening at all. Actually the other games have more unique features than Ingress. There is a lot of improvement there that could have been implement here and still no news about it. It's been a year since prime launch and they didn't really add anything new, just parity with the old scanner. They even managed to worse up things, like the missions pictures on the list...

    Now with the subscription announcement, I believe but would be fair to:

    • Reduce inventory of free accounts (1000 free, 2k sub and expansible)
    • Reduce number of candidate proposals (make it 7 a month for free, 14 every 2weeks for subs and being able to buy more)
    • Location edits only under subscription
    • Reduce link range for free accounts
    • Exclusive Medal for early supporters at launch
    • Unique portals identification on map (actually this should be standard)
    • A premium mod or shield that prevent the use of flip cards and have hight defense power against normal weaponry, but that are easily breakable by a few premium busters. That's for preventing most kamikazes. Use that item and the portal will be ca$h protected.
    • Daily subscription. More expensive than regular subscription, but will allow players who only need the advantages for short periods, like anomaly, or like the example above the community can give a daily to agent just to destroy a protected strategic anchor (or even Niantic profiting over spoofers).
    • Special portal interactions/new ways to play exclusive for subscripted. I'm think about something like a regional shard battle that goes within the current cicles and cell, with random portal targets every cicles, but the shards only move through a premium link, made by payed accounts.
  • So your saying that we couldn't do what we do now unless we pay the subscription?

    Yeah, that would fare well with existing players.

    I know it sound hard, but I bet the whole advantages the subscription could provide will probably make most player join it.

    I'm just having ideas, to limit backpacks, spoofers, etc. I certainly will not be happy if the inventory got reduced, but the rest aren't game changers.

    Edits and proposals being paid will probably increase Niantic's profit since most pokemon players that came to ingress are only interested in that. They either stop coming or start paying.

    200 or 2000?

    Exclusive Medal for early supporters at launch

    I could get behind that. The rest of it, not so much. Maybe limiting portal subs a bit, but definitely not anything that deliberately harms your ability to play the game when you don't pay.
