    Effective face masks are in scarce supply and should be saved for health care givers, the immunocompromised/elderly, and people who suspect they might be sick but need to leave their homes anyway.


    Ineffective masks will not prevent you from getting infected, though they do reduce your ability to infect others.

    One possible tweak would be to advance Sojourner by recharging a key.

    They should put a 0cmu level1 hack in the store that resents every day and counts as a single hack.

    They could retire it but doing like seer, keep counting up for those who already have it. Many people tried it but lost it for many reasons but still want them. I had to have a forced discipline to get my 720 last month, and almost lost it sometimes. I'm playing for 4 years now (since may/June of 2016) but in the first two I have lost it at least once per rank. Part of my loss was lack of portals near me, Wich I fixed once new proposals were reallowed.

    When they came out with something like daily tasks (like already have in pogo and hpwu) they can end this one and replace with a similar one, maybe a log-in only, like HPwu have something (not a medal but they give prizes for each day of the month for logging in).

    Tl;dr: replace it with a similar based on logging or simpler tasks that don't require portal I'm range, and disallow the sojourner for new for new players, but keep it active for another year for old-timers that already got gold or platinum so they can give a extra try.

    They could put it heavily charged after the covid19 threat fade away. Lot of players would pay a burger price to prevent losing the counting while traveling.

    I really think that the best solution for this is for Niantic to change sojourner to "interacted with the scanner", like the daily calendar bonus in HPWU. I don't know how technically feasible that is.

    I'd support suspending the count, but not auto-crediting etc.

    Mainly because there are stupid people who are willing to risk others health for the sake of a non-essential digital shinie.

    Just freeze the game for a while. It will be more safe for everybody

    Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you.

    The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is anything but.

    Ergo, it is my opinion - and that of many others here - that the Sojourner system should be adapted to fit the ongoing situation in some way.

  • i wasnt too keen on getting the medal for hacking streak. i abandoned that idea, and in the next step stopped playing ingress at all. havent opened the app since a few days.

    this is now live.. niantic posted recharge does increase sojourner now.

    Thank you Niantic!

  • NIA... Thanks for listening! :)

    I don't have a home portal that I can make L6 myself and hack like on vr Hack Modes... So lucky those, who do! ;)

    But I don't mind. I'm happy for the Sojourner charging continuity!

    Regards!

    Stay Safe!
