1 kilometer Kinetic capsule distance is way too short.

I feel like I'm completing capsules faster than I can acquire ingredients to put in them. Please next time consider just shortening to 2 or 4 kilometers if you want to give a bonus.

    1 km is certainly way too short long term but I find I’m mostly limited by the rate at which I hack rare capsules more than gear to put in them.

    The hacks required to get rare kinetic capsules gives me more than enough gear that fill them, especially power cubes.

    I get way more than 10 power cubes per kinetic capsule.

    Agreed. 4km?

    It's not the first time Niantic has been bad at business, but if they had sold rare kinetic capsules like the hatching device in Pokemon GO, we would have seen a different side of the story.

    The store is usually criticized for encouraging Pay to Win, but with the XM Anomaly coming up next month and the mini-anomalies that have been held almost every month since January of this year, players' very rare items have been completely depleted, so many sales could have been expected.

    Also, if there had been a kinetic program that could have generated the ultra strikes that are so important in the anomaly, there might have been even more sales.


    However, I have a newfound love for this series of events because it is very Niantic.

    I've started ignoring my kinetic capsules because I have no idea what I'm going to do with the 300 hypercubes I have and everybody around me has too many so I can't give them away.

    1km would be great, if I was earning towards a badge metric too

  • It was great for clearing out excess rare kinetic capsules, and you aren’t compelled to use them if you don’t want to. So no loss, maybe just too easy.

  • It's a short term event.

    I mentioned multiple times before the event that this would happen. Niantic could've avoided this by any of the following options: temporarily increase drop rate, or number of uses, or put them in the store. Did they do any of those things? Nope. But sure, they read everything on here.

    Running out of ingredients here too. Ran out of Rare kcaps on like the 2nd day of this event. Hack rate on them nosedived recently and its rather frustrating. Even if I did have the ingredients, I wouldn't have the kcaps to run them.

    It seemed perfect for the anomaly weekend for me. Everything I had in excess was converted into either more resos or hypercubes.

    For a weekend event it would be a great way to get people out to walk. For the 10 odd days we have it? Seems more like an annoyance. Stuff is ready constantly. I'm out of stuff to make into almost anything, so now I'm making L1 resos for when I go ki|| some Red portals on the way home, I can fill in all of the portals, not just the red ones with resos.
