Superposition Anomaly Medal (what the...?)
The Superposition Anomaly medal will be awarded based on 10 NIA-deployed or Agent-deployed Battle Beacons interacted with during the event weekend
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Excuse me Niantic? So one doesn't even need to recharge room or anything, to get an anomaly badge? What the...?

This, I belive will need to be better explained.
Because if anybody, anywhere can obtain the medal just by interacting with 10 RBB then it is going to cause a lot of issues.
A recharge room would still be severely limited
Why even travel to the anomaly now? Why participating on-site? Or organize recharge rooms? Just put 10 freaking battle beacons and done, you have the badge! Good job Niantic, good job. (actually no)
This is not what we wanted to have in Munich. What's wrong with you Niantic?
LOL you want to **** the game.
BB are **** for an anomaly - ok
BUT YOU CAN SIMPLY THROW 10 BB IN YOUR BACKYARD TO GET THAT BADGE?
EXCUSE ME ****?
Why do i even travel to munic?
So, Niantic finally announces something, that sounds like a "real" anomaly, so people start to book trains/flights/hotels/... and now its yet another BBnomaly you could just do at home? Really?
**** Niantic?! This is a slap in the face to all agents who have booked flights and hotels coming from all over the world to Munich, because YOU SAID MUNICH would be the ONLY SITE.
BB Anomaly...
How can you be so lame bb are just boring
And just 10bb fornthe medal. So you just want to **** the desire for on site anomaly ??
Niantic at its worst...
@NianticBrian @NianticThia this so so soooooooooo screwed up it NEEDS an explanation
About to cancel my flight...
BB are lame :(
please provide clarity on the details on this. Super anomaly without Ops or recharge will be pointless. And can you do it anywhere? All medals value has been diluted. FS, MD anomaly and now super anomalies. Just makes me sad! Please reconsider
Why should someone be awarded with a medal for not interacting with the anomaly site? It's a slap in the face for every agent who already booked flights and/or hotels, because Munich is only anomaly for the weekend...
Thank you for remembering the rest of the agents who are unable to travel to the "ONLY" anomaly site.
I expexted nothing and I’m still disappointed 🙈🤣
Don't do yet, I hope they will somehow revert that nonsense
You're really optimistic. I would be happy to see NIA change their mind - but I don't believe it.
That's actually another proof Niantic lives in some parallel reality. To make a news article without expecting ****storm by all those people who thought it's gonna be a good ol' anomaly with on-site participation and recharge rooms, they need to not understand how Ingress community works like at all. Zero insight on players' thoughts and expectations.
I don't know why you people are surprised. I expected agent-deployed battle beacons to remain part of anomalies going forward, because it's easy money from remote players.
That said, if I was Niantic, I would have split the difference by making Munich the only way to earn the medal in July. At least let the agents making the effort to be there have the reward of getting the medal before other players, you know?
ff.s if I hadn't already booked my train ticket and my hotel, I'd not go to Munich but would have just deployed 10 BBs like the last few months. The way this announcement was handled with just a date, location and announcement of GORUCK suggested that it would have been a "real" anomaly, not... this. Battle Beacons and Shards, oh yay, can't you tell how excited I am. I fully appreciate the attempt to give agents that can't travel to Munich the anomaly medal as well, but not with fukin Battle Beacons again. Hell, make it a global challenge during the weekend to capture X MU which would influence the score and only give out the medal to agents that capture at least Y MU.
My hype has crashed down into the ground.

This was/is also true for the Kureze and Kythera "anomalies."
I'm not at all surprised that Superposition is a continuation of that style, both in how medals are awarded and in the gameplay involved (or lack thereof). The writing was on the wall when Niantic called Kureze an anomaly despite it being nothing but tossing some battle beacons on some portals.
Probably make a gold version of the Superposition anomaly like the hexathlons had the two tiers
That would actually work quite well. People travelling feel less ripped off at finding out they didn't have to book flights/hotels/etc... after all, and people who can't travel can still get the first-tier medal.
I will only attend this event because I wanna meet players, but this will definitly be my last anomaly I attend if they continue to be like this. Niantic shows again again how disconnected they have been with their playerbase since 2018
"Gold" version for recharge room and on-site participants, lower tier for 10 BBs? Sounds interesting.
Requiem was a prestige even, one and only. This is now looks like selling overused items in the flagship store, where people are queueing long for the newest model.
Niantic, please reconsider if this is the message you wanted to convey.
I really don't understand the strategy behind this announcement/planning. First we had the exorbitant expensive costs for goruck related events, now this complete devaluation of the Munich event per se. I really will be surprised if they even sell enough tickets for the goruck events on-site with this development. More medals that bite the dust ...
Remember when we had real interesting anomaly rules instead of, God forbid, battle beacons?
This is a huge disappointment. This will make the anomaly into a beergarden fest (10 portals in range is enough), a stay at home fest (since badge is the same everywhere) or a stop playing alltogether fest, since after waiting for over 2 years for a proper anomaly (many agents just kept waiting for this!), this is just a badly thought through concept. Unbelievable.
Niatic, you have no clue what the playerbase is longing for and waiting for. You miss the point fully! Anomaly is about strategy, teamplay, unique rewards, badge collection, crazy organization, actual battle, etc. Not about a very boring gameplay, and agents canceling their trip to Munchen.
You could and should do (much!!!) better than this!
