What has being a XM ambassador has to with fact that someone has health problems or that fact someone with seizure disorders can not take long walks. It is a problem at the moment you let limit yourself. Yes everyone has their own limits. And the pandemic is a limit at the moment.
I can not walk outside my own country (I live in a very, very smal country) or walk outside between 21:00 and 10:00 ( I need daylight to see). But ......
I am limited in my health so I can not make long walks or be a long time outside, but I walk very slow or go by bus or bike, so I am making KM's. Yes I and others do not know where you can work on or not. But in ingress we are a team and everyone does what they can do.
Today I did walk in the same group as someone with seizure disorder and they did walk the same KM's as I did.
Although high, why does that seem impossible? Since kinetic capsules came out, they'd have had to walk on average a little over 9.8 miles per day. Personally I don't walk nearly that much, but I know several people who do. That user also may have leveraged previous events which had reduced km requirements to open them, of which there've been at least a couple.
Yes, but you'll have to avoid completing 4 programs during the next ten days, and again when the second event happens. The total will be cumulative between the two.
No, there is only 1 medal (and will change automatically to silver and gold when we successfully complete it), as mentioned @NianticBrian : The next Optima Challenge will use the same Medal, and will also be measured by Programs completed. I'm not sure what the exact Silver and Gold tier requirements will be; however, the Programs completed during this event will carry over to Round II. For example, if Silver tier were 10 Programs and you completed 5 Programs during this event, then completing 5 more during the Round II bonus event window will unlock the Silver Medal.
Any chance that bundles can be added to the store that are focused on one item? Most agents I know use kinetic capsules to make one specific item, such as softbanks. I simply don't use it to make other VR mods. I'm not really interested in the rare shields, RHS, and RMH included in the bundle with the 3 link amps. It would be more worth it for me to just be able to buy 9-12 link amps with that 1,000 CMU.
Can anyone confirm if the Kinetic Capsule is speed limited?
Someone has said to me this is possibly 10km an hour. However, is this correct?
Last night I went out on the bicycle and traveled over two miles, hacking various portals en route. Yet, when my Kinetic distance stats updated, I was credited just 500 metres.
Two miles is more than 500 metres!
When I carried on, on foot, the Kinetic correctly registered the distance.
Although I can understand it is speed locked to prevent Cargressers obtaining a large number of Kinetic Capsules from the comfort of their cars, the speed threshold is too low.
Cycling is classed as a healthy activity. It is somewhat silly that it is penalised by a low speed lock.
Could it not be raised to say 16kmh (10mph), which would also allow for cyclists to benefit, but not Cargressers.
It looks like I'll have to largely leave the bicycle at home, for the duration of the event. Lol!
Just a little question here... why is the medal name "Kinetic Capsule Challenge" instead of "Optima Kinetic Capsule Challenge" ? . I think it is better to make the name consistent like the previous nemesis challenges which had related nemesis member name in the medal (Didact field challenge, umbra deploy challenge, etc). Or is it actually there is something behind it? Well... if it is.... I hope it's something interesting.

Thank you for the response 😀

I walked a 2km capsule now and claimed the item. No Counter under Events
Iam new to this game, can someone explain to me whats up with this?

@ifonz if you do another game action (for example, Portal hack or recharge), do you see your 2 completed Programs on your Agent Profile now?
For some reason, stats don't always update, even when doing another hack.
But a recharge of a portal seems to help sync things up
Nope, I'm walking the 5th program right now while doing other game actions.
Not for me
Done 4x2 KM kinetic programs. Really liking this event. No stats under event yet tho / badge.
“If you have achieved the Bronze medal during this event, it will not be reset when the Silver and Gold tiers are added.”
Does it mean when we work on Silver and Gold medals in the future, we can start from the number we've already got from our Bronze medal this time?
When I first saw this, I thought it means the Bronze medal we get this time can't be renewed into Silver or Gold in the future.
@ifonz thanks for the heads up, investigating further.

Yes....
It is explained here :
5th program completed, now I see the event counter at 1.
Thanks for the fix of the kinetic capsule only lost my softbank ultra link and material that I have just on it air lost
Please see the bug report as well :D

Living in a town with that few portal, any of previous events would be impossible without leaving it.
UUUUUUGH!!! I JUST refilled my KC this morning...
happy to have a new event though :)
Or this mean that we're gonna have two badges? One bronze and one gold/silver?
Thank you very much for another event! I will walk and walk and walk with Ingresss. Yessss

Yes, it is. It measures your distance walked, so distance travelled while cycling (unless you do it very slowly), will not be counted.
Not sure what the speed limit is, but I think it is around 6km/hr

@NianticBrian
I walked around. and now I'm finished.
But I think that the medal tilte text lacks the word "Optima".
Bonjour quelqu'un pourrait m'aider je sais pas quoi faire pour se défi Capsule cinétique ! Merci
