    That sounds vaguely familiar and for some reason brings bad memories πŸ˜„

    Will we see the drones even if they aren't on a portal? Because it looks like so on the Niantic's news screenshot.

    Brian said they're only visible if deployed to a portal.

    just speculation, next (maybe) Lucida Drone Challenge..

  • GrogyanGrogyan ✭✭✭✭✭

    Anyone recording it?

    @NianticBrian nice new drone features and bagde!

    one thing i did not like is new Max 8 drones at a portal limit, please consider increasing the limit.

    @NianticBrian "Drones Returned" should represent how many drones you hunted. I think drone hunting game would be quite interesting. For that reason, "Drones Returned" should not count up if an agent sent back their *own* drone. An agent could earn 24 counts per day by sending their own drones back intentionally. So, current "Drones Returned" could not motivate agents to hunt for drone of other agents.

    I'm not surprise if it already has a plugin for iitc or are at least in development, to show the location of all drone in the map.

    I hope it is made in a way that this is impossible, making the agent to really hunt (trought keys, map and drone) instead of just looking the map and going there.


    This is also terrible if its working that way. Its basically recruiter badge all over again.

    Also, the status that show how many time my drone was forced returned to me seems pretty meaningless. It's not an acomplishment and can also be cheated like this. Is just like having a status for "my portals/resonators destroied", something that will just stack up and its not my achievement.

  • ItsutsumeItsutsume ✭✭✭

    I think you meant Guardian, not Recruiter. And yes, forced drone recall stat is really pointless.

    I have keys from all over the world, many of which I picked up from the ground or were given to me by agents who traveled. Being able to send the drone to those places to explore would be really cool.

  • PangarbanPangarban ✭✭✭✭✭

    No, I'm pretty sure they meant Recruiter. The complaint is that people can get their stat up by attacking portals their own drone is on just to increase the number. The connection is that some players created loads of accounts just to earn the recruiter badge by themselves.

  • HydracyanHydracyan ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nope. I meant exactly as @Pangarban said.

    People can just put drone one a neutral portal and capture it. This plus spoofing means easy badge. Niantic should fix it to not award any point if you return your own drone.

    Not so much missing as "they redesigned it". But yes, it bothers me that we lost the old border.

  • NaruwasherNaruwasher ✭✭✭✭✭

    True. I am not sure how I feel about the redesigned borders though. πŸ˜…

    Or bot up 8 drones and put them on the same portal and capture it

    I thought I can only see when MY drone gets returned. What's the point to see other players' drones getting returned?
