So let me get this right, you know some people can't get out and walk and we are all aware steps aren't accurately counted in prime so you are releasing this event WITHOUT adventure sync? Like this exists in both of your other two games and you've had plenty of time to test its implementation into Ingress, why would you have an event like this at a time like this without adding adventure sync? Real opportunity lost there . . .
Is it possible to get Agent's Kinetic Capsule working so they tic! I've heard numerous Agents have been stuck for awhile! Tickets submitted and closed without resolution. Help them! Please!

Se agregará una nueva métrica de evento a su perfil de agente durante la duración del desafío global para ayudarlo a monitorear la cantidad de programas que ha completado. La medalla "Optima Kinetic Challenge" es un solo nivel de bronce.

We understand that some Agents’ movements are currently restricted; please follow guidelines from local health authorities. In order to provide Agents with an additional opportunity to earn the Optima Medal in the future, we will be holding an Optima Kinetic Challenge bonus event with the same Optima Medal at a later date TBD.
Also, ever since they fixed Trekker's measurement post release of Kinetic capsules, I have found the data has been accurate to about 99% (data compared with in game Trekker records to Apple Watch/Health data). Don't forget that all you need to do is keep your game open (not in the background) while you walk.
Having to burn an ADA to get a Jarvis is actually pretty useless overall.
We wanted to craft something useful from less useful gear, like all of the existing programs. Instead this is just a conversion program. I'm definitely disappointed by this and will instead just be making more softbanks.
To be fair, if you can't walk 8kms total in 10 days, then you you're going to need to work on your health anyway. Very few places are still on a 100% house arrest style situation, and even at the recommended Level 5 from the UN, they include short periods like an hour outside the house for exercise.
Luckily, there will be a later event to gain the medal again, so if you can't do it now, you'll be able to do it later.
Nice global challenge with earned badges for free, finally.
I hope the tier also unlocked, it can be done safely anyway by walk kcaps alone. There is no need for mobs gathering.
Anyways, thanks for compromise a badge challenge event with later date for people who cannot done it on first try. I will look up for more of this challenge. Thanks @NianticBrian
Of 40 agents polled so far, less than 10 want the current design to remain. Food for thought
Edit: now has 50 votes and less than 7% want the color scheme to remain as is. That breaks down to less than 4 people who like the current badge design on telegram.
@NianticBrian many agents (myself included) have worked very hard to avoid having bronze medals on their profiles, with this design we either have to miss the event altogether or have a medal that will ruin our agent profiles after so much work. Why not have the original color of the medal, Avenir was also single tier and had the correct color scheme, not bronze.
The challenge for the Avenir event might have been a lot more effort than this Optima event, but earning the medal was relatively trivial:
All Agents who were active during the 14 days will receive the Avenir medal. An active Agent is defined as someone who hacks any Portal in the global Portal Network at least once during the event window.
I believe the number of Kinetic Programs we've finished won't disappear after the event. When this event will be hold again in the future, other tiers will released and our progress will continue. So try to finish more than 4 to invest on this medal if you can. This is the only way I can think of why there is only bronze tier.
Good to see another chance for agents suffering from COVID.
BTW, will you consider to hold another Didact Field Challenge, to give China mainland agents who suffered from COVID earlier than the remain world during the whole Challenge another chance to get their Didact Medals? @NianticOfficial@NianticBrian

Oh no🤷🤦🤦 Only bronze😢😢😢😢
Remember that kinetic capsules are only available to Agents of level 6 and above
Yeah can we get a silver and gold please? Or at least just the gold design

Will the medal be bronze forever or when it occurs on another date will the agents have their colors readjusted in other colors of the medal?
Do programs need to be started after the event begins in order to count for the medal?

Forgot to mention, Avenir Shard Challenge was single tier too and it has the original color.

@NianticBrian neat event.
Nice to see a tid bit of story to go a long with it.
The Jarvis program the Resistance unlocked, I read that right, it is ONLY for the Optima Challenge?
Some players will not like the Bronze colouring of the event badge. Please look into changing this.
Forgot to mention, Avenir Shard Challenge was single tier too and it has the original color.
Question:
Does existing kinetic program counts for the challenge?
Ie. If I am running a program now but only complete it at the start of the challenge window.
Thanks
Good observation. Avenir was a one time event, hence the Gold tier... 😉
@NianticBrian many agents (myself included) have worked very hard to avoid having bronze medals on their profiles, with this design we either have to miss the event altogether or have a medal that will ruin our agent profiles after so much work.

Optima sends her regards to all agents.
So that means that we'll be able to get silver and gold tiers for Optima in the future?
I would imagine an ADA would require a Jarvis.
Infographic form, for people who like that sort of thing.
Can I skip that badge if I complete only one Program or less than 4?
Good to see another chance for agents suffering from COVID.
