Battle Beacons Update

In Quarter 3, we’re planning to release Battle Beacon, a Faction versus Faction competitive feature deployed by Agents that can be played at Portals while maintaining physical distance.
This was mentioned in the anomalies update so thought I’d share. What do we think?

I think they are going to release it in July, August or September.
So is it basically just PoGo gyms, in ingress? I missed any other details posted elsewhere
Sounds like a pokemon thing. Looking forward to more p2w.
@ZeroHecksGiven @TeamWarez I'm failing to see how is this related to Pokemon.
You go to a portal (gym), deploy a battle beacon (pokemon), and then pointlessly waste time sitting there and battling multiple rounds for rewards. Then they start including rewards that are not hackable, then they start monetizing on that.
Oh, sorry. I thought you had any real information besides speculation.
You must have missed the question mark in my first sentence. Faction vs faction reminds me of a feature found in PoGo, a game also maintained by Niantic. The question marks means there is some speculation in my assumed relevance.
I suspect it may be similar to the shard game
It can be like drone mark 2
Actually it even can be like drone just
mocks
your presence near the portal and the rest of stuff (actual fight) very similar to the current in-game actions (shielding, recharge, etc). Like at Anomaly site when we fight for the portal control, just with drones (or somehow else remotely)But, wouldn't this be wintrade? Are they going to officially allow wintrade outside events?
Or is JUST a beacon? xD
hope its coming next month and not september :(
Who knows?
If it became anything close to Gyms, them it's purely wintrade.
Beacon, he must point the way, but to whom? Correctly to exogenous creatures. A full-fledged invasion of our world must begin!
It is a faction verses faction competition. Hopefully like a mini anomoly centered on a portal. Thus the beacon.
And they should be able to activate all portals in a radius around the battle beacon. The have a competition where you do stuff and ar penalized for being too close to other agents. Sounds perfect.
Not if a nettle beacon changes how AP is scored.
Im positive it will be some type of score system between 2 teams and how that will work not sure, but leaked fev hinted winner will get fireworks or something... maybe points for glyph hacking between portals or something ? i hope it comes soon it sounds fun if u can do this from home with your drone perhaps..
Maybe they even add a new medal for counting battles won or something, like there is in Pokemon go (if its gonna be a similar thing)
They should have little creatures that spawn on the map, and we could use them in beacon battles. People would have fun collecting as many different creatures as they can.
Nah, on second thought that's a rubbish idea for a game.
