Fireworks!

They look really, really cool. I'll keep a stack on me at all times in case there's an occasion for fireworks.
@NianticBrian Out of curiosity, why did you guys decide to make fireworks? I don't wanna be "Why waste time on them" (I absolutly love them), I'm genuinely curious. Ah, looks like tomorrow is freedom day in America. Also Nemesis (red) and X-Fac (Green/Blue mixed) fireworks when? 👀

Fireworks are part of the future Battle Beacon feature (they celebrate the winner of a battle), and while Battle Beacon is not ready to release, we were able to decouple them so we could release Fireworks now as a standalone item in time for First Saturday this weekend. We felt it'd be fun to celebrate any event, like First Saturdays, Independence Day, an Agent's birthday, etc. with this new Beacon type.
@NianticBrian they are awesome! Looking forward to the future features and these are super fun to have ingame. Im looking forward to having a "fireworks" show in my area after our local show was cancelled.
Excellent response Brian, from reading OP's post, I already know what he was implying
This forum is not mature enough to have a discussion of what he was implying, but I want to say I appreciate your efforts
Wait, I honestly don't know what you mean. I didn't (consciously) try to imply anything, I was genuinely curious. What did you think I was implying?
You did, I know you did, you know you did, Brian knows what you did
The forum is not mature enough have a discussion of what you did.
I'm at Warning Level 1 for saying Ingress wasn't designed to be played from your couch, the forum is not mature enough to handle even that.
I'm dead serious, I have no clue. Throw me a message via TG @InvestigateXM if you don't want to bring it to the forums
Nah, lets go back to pretending
Drone came along with me to watch fireworks <3
First time in years I'm happy to have fireworks for my birthday lol
I've asked other peoples and they don't know either. If something, anything I said might have a second meaning, please tell me so I know to avoid it in the future. As mentioned, you can send me a TG for it, otherwise I have to assume you're just trolling. I'm honestly trying to understand what you mean lol
Why would I send you anything so you can screenshot messages out of context like you just did?
Like I said before, let's go back pretending no one knows what you were implying
The forum is not mature enough to handle a discussion about what you are up to
Stolen from Ishira, a cool video with multiple fireworks at once!
Pretty! thanks for the video
And this is why a block button is needed on the forums.
From what I can see, nothing was said or done to imply anything other than a like for the feature that came out today. Its definitely going over my head as well.
Anyways, fireworks!
I agree with you 100%, god forbid you read something you disagree with, it has no place on these forums I say
@cheatch do you like the fireworks? I think they are kinda cool and a nice feature for all of those that cant go and watch fireworks this weekend. :D
Another video of the fireworks was shared by Sakamoto on social media <3

Yes, excellent addition to Ingress, I agree with Brian Rose, they are just awesome
The forum is not mature enough to handle an exchange past that, so I will leave it at that
Hey @NianticBrian ~ is it possible to get bigger packs?
@cheatch ok! 😊 glad you enjoy them as well
You know the difference between minutes and hours ?
🙈
Oh yeah @NianticBrian, the german translation for some reason put 10 hours instead of 10 minutes. The correct term would be "10 Minuten", not "10 Stunden".
Unless there's some secret deal with the german government for long lasting fireworks, in which case I shall light up my whole city.
Excuse me, but yes it is beautiful, but yes it is useless. About the same as drones that almost do not change the interaction between players.
These seem not as GPU-taxing as the rainbow XM, and if they only last 10 minutes I won't complain this time.
I like it 😋
Are drones recalled when they are hit by fireworks ? 😂
Bacon is never useless, you vegan green vam xd
they look cool wish they lasted more then 10min :(
LOOKS GREAT
