White XM
There is a post on the news in comm about white XM. But mine has turned invisible, anyone else have this happen?
Edit: Can just make it out with the screen brightened way up.

It looks great for me.
much nicer than the old white XM, which was too similar to uncaptured portals.
Can you post a screenshot so we can compare? This is what it looks like to me (which is normal and fine imo)
Note that in areas without portals, you can have very faint amounts of ground XM which might only be 1 or 2 of the smaller orbs.
I can confirm that this particular color/texture of XM doesn't seem to obscure grey portals in the same way as before.
I guess it's the new normal. Will take some getting used to.
Personally, find that the new XM is too dark to ****.
Orange had the constant problem of not being able to identify what portals are decayed or not.
Bright White, had the issue that in some cases could not tell what was XM or portals.
Would have preferred purple XM.
Agreed, this looks a lot better than the white XM they had before (in Prime).
It's actually returning to the original appearance after they removed the wave in 2019. So it's the old normal, and the new normal "was" orange halloween XM.
This was February 2019.
This was October 2019.
And this is what happened in June 2020.
Going back to early prime isn't really progress.
blueish white is worst for visibility. at least they could have put clear white not this one.
It's not very visible IMO, as it seems to be more of a mid-grey than white. It can be seen if you look closely, but not everyone is a 20-year old with 20/20 vision. It tends to disappear a bit under fields.
It also depends on the zoom level (yes you can see it at maximum magnification but no that's not useful) and on the "lighting dynamics" setting.
I still miss when ambient XM was round particles floating above the ground.
Now, it's just a flat texture on the ground that has to compete with every other flat texture (roads, fields, etc.) for visibility.
redacted xm was the best, really good looking and visible too.
it was pretty messy too. but yes more visible
Give it a few days, it will be October again and they will switch it back to Orange. Problem solved!
