Xfac and community involvement are optional. No manning a table for check-in and check-out.
Except this is exactly what I liked. In my opinion the latest changes of MD format took some soul from them.
Anyway, looks like we won't see Mission Days again - doubt Niantic would do such nonsense if it was the other case. Because, as said above, if we do, few will bother: you get the badge ticks once a month anywhere in the world anyway. If by that time everyone won't have Onyx yet.
This might be a wee bit overestimating how diligent "everyone" will be following through to the onyx badge. I still see casual players asking "what's Second Sunday?" Even those who know what it is won't be out there every event because, well, they're casuals (i.e. busy lives outside of Ingress, flaky and/or lack of interest, etc.). It does require more effort than virtual IFS - leaving the house, going somewhere to do six missions vs. submit stats, recharge, resubmit stats from couch - which to you or me may not seem like much effort but to many casual players will be a high enough bar for plenty of "can't make it this months." Also from what I've seen, players who don't care about missions haven't suddenly started caring about them because of Second Sunday. Most who I see enjoying it are agents who like doing missions and/or agents who used to attend MDs and are very happy they aren't #foreverplat (or gold, etc.).
Looks like nice events...i cant wai....oh yeah thats right my Ingress Is broken and im still waiting for it to be fixed so i can attend....nothing like getting excited for something you cant attend and Year 9 Too. 😞😆😁
On a lighter note i wonder how many MD Medal mishaps will happen during these events and those Kinetic Capsules being KM stuck that i doubt will be fixed before the events start.
year-end event as usual, isn't there still one challenge left, related to the nemesis challenge. end of the year full of challenges and excitement. 'i hope' (12 21 3 9 4 1)
That is as clear as mud. 4 mod slots on a portal. The bullet point makes it sound like me and the wife pull up to a portal. We then place 4 VR shields each on the 1 portal for a total of 8.
Pretty meh for me. I’ll take the disagrees. Was hoping for some sort of challenge type medal. We’ve had the drone for well over a year now and it’s barely got any love. Such an easy and appropriate medal for half a world or more that’s still dealing with a pandemic. But hey, 4 mods per portal and and 2XAP on fireworks is cool I guess.
Everyone will have onyx? Not likely. My MD count is currently 6: five real ones and one Second Sunday. After December there will have been... what, six Second Sundays? And you need 20 mission days for onyx. So anyone who has onyx by then will have done at least 70% real mission days.
Because most people in Western nominally-Christian countries will be busy doing Christmas and not recharging their portals, so it'll be useful to get a break?
Enlightened Montreal 🇨🇦 try to make a star ⭐️ for the event of October 16th! Choosed anchor in a closed cimetery 🏴☠️❌ from Saturday 5PM to Monday 8AM. Big blue triangle from Saturday 5h05PM to Sunday around 7AM and at 9h05 the same day, a trespasser Ada the anchor. Many plaints to reset the game, never happened , and that was the enlightened who receive complaints for inappropriate behaviour in the COMM just because we said the player wasn’t fair and asked how he could legally go in a closed space! #Niantic I really do not understand the rules!
To remain credible Niantic must enforce these rules. If Niantic does not act, it sends the message that it encourages illegal acts such as trespassing on a close site.

Will Agents in places like Los Angeles, Brasilia, or Kuala Lumpur get a winter medal as well, even if none of them will see snow in December?
Thanks!
I understand. Thank you.

Sad.

And where is the binding of events to the plot? And in general, when will the storyline be in the game again?
okay, keep up with those announcements :)
Thanks but don't need extra kit in core if I don't get extra space
Yeah. Except the application form is closed since 2020 and Niantic is not accepting new applications. Apart from that I have 18 missions planned.

not sure ? for the time i dont think so, develop a story costs money etc. not sure niantic willing to invest in that currently.

Well if they put every caveat on every item on every event, event releases would all be TLDR.
Is Adventure Sync anticipated to implemented for the next time the Kinetic Capsule distance is reduced? 🚶
Kinetic = relating to motion
I think km is fine because calories would depend on the person.

It does seem pretty soon after Optima. That and/or Round 3 could be up their sleeve.
Checkin desks etc increase community interaction and make the events FAR more interesting. Its fun planning, add BBQs and fund raising opportunities.
Six missions anyone can do is just... lazy.
round 3 wont come as that badge was completed, we need wait for something new the next challenge whatever it will be.
Lol 😂😂 if they wanted to troll everyone they can do round 3 with a platinum and onyx level. And still keep it at 10 days.
Why not, platinum 100 capsules, onyx 200. Would be a nice challenge.
Oh like this really long bullet...
Agent MOD deployment limit raised from 2 to 4 per portal.
