Don’t hate it, though still conflicted. May skip it until they can start offering some sort of tasks or mini event to compliment these.
I would pay money to have past “cosmetic” medals removed, mostly that 2021 medal 🤢🤢 No idea why I thought that was a good idea or it would look remotely decent on my scanner.
It looks interesting, but with all the cosmetic badges for sale, it's really time to allow agents to sort or group the badges (e.g. anomaly, achievements, cosmetic). Otherwise it all just gets cluttered.
If they plan on having a paid portion no matter what, then I'd love to see some gameplay challenges to complement the existing paid stuff. Maybe a complementary medal, like a silver tiger that can be earned for gameplay and a gold that can be purchased? Or a single medal that can be earned with a challenge or bought, but doing both "enhances" it in some way?
Every year in May, on the first weekend takes place in the cities on the Baltic Sea in Germany, the International Fish Roll Day. This weekend is considered the start of the fishing season.
For some time, in Cologne and the surrounding area, the "FS" First Saturday, also called FischbrötchenSamstag. (FishSaturday).
This is now a running joke , which finds more and more followers.
To honor the fish, the sailors who catch the fish on the high seas every day,and the people who meet every first Saturday of the month to eat a fish roll, I would like to see a fish roll medal on International Fish Roll Day.
This badge looks great and professional. Looks much better than the "8" and "20xx" badges. Take my 2500 CMU and Please do more Asian/Chinese Cultures related badges and campaigns.
Medals for future? The Toast event is coming up and I’m hoping there’s a badge there.
In the UK, we have Shrove Tuesday, which is more well known as Pancake Day. As this is a day where those making pancakes spend a while trying to do the perfect flip, this would work well into Ingress with agents flipping portals, and would be a fun weird one. Maybe the medal itself could flip when tapped to be green/blue.
Niantic keeps missing opportunities for player engagement with these badges. It's pretty simple to say do certain tasks to earn this badge. But instead they just sell it. Kinda cheapens the badge this way. You could even make it a tiered badge and have tasks every year instead of making a new one each year.
I love it and I can't wait to buy it. I don't mind cosmetic medals. Don't want them? Don't buy them! Pretty simple.
I'm assuming all of the people who feel that these should be task rewarded badges have already Onyxed every achievement badge? If not, you still have plenty to do!

>Cosmetic Medals are one way to personalize and add some fun to your Agent Profile. What Medals would you like to see in the future?
I would do unspeakable things for a Toast badge and the Fingerprint badge.

I'd LOVE to see the 13 archetype media as cosmetic medals!

This! This is one thing that usually holds me from buying cosmetic medals. 😅 My OCD can't handle a messy profile.
I would love to be just able to sort out the medals to how I would like them to appear on the profile
Already been mentioned but I would like to second the ideas of a toast medal, and being able to sort medals plz kthx.
🍞 🦆
Toast medal.
Last year we got increased hack output and some other specials too. Is that happening again?

I mocked this up a while back and I think it works pretty well:
I originally thought of it as a recursion reward, but if we never get that then it could be purchasable.
I think when I originally saw videos of the Tesselation, I thought maybe that would be our profiles eventually.
I remember suggesting this last year! Seasonal medals can have international flair, and Chinese / Lunar Near gives us 12 easy themes.
Annnnd now I have to onyx Mission Day ASAP because I'll have
Also, I need the Scout controller dog next...
You suggested it longer ago than last year. I did a search because I was looking for when I suggested it, but mine was on Twitter.
"What Medals would you like to see in the future?"
None-pay2win earned medals.
People should really stop saying paid medals are "pay-to-win". No one ever won anything by paying for medals. It's just for a bit of fun only.
i havent said this this medal is pay 2 win. i just answered the question thia asked.
I'd rather have more badges that have to be earned, not bought.

Surely the badge could be called “Mackarel Units” as people joke about that when making fields spanning across the sea?

Cosmetic medals is what I want, preferably that it comes alone from 2,500 CMU and not in a "combo" (since it costs a little more) 😌
Toast medal available per faction (ENL and RES)
Also, I would like you to place the IQTech Dronenet 2021 medal in the store for those of us who did not manage to buy a kit 😎
You can also choose to not buy them

Very, very good, honestly.
I really like how it looks.
