Niantic worries about Ingress?

How long are we going to endure months of events like this?

While other games have thousands of events and interactions with their users each month, we only have one payment medal, one first Saturday and one second Sunday?

What is this Niantic?

Is it a lot of work to come up with better ideas?

We already come from many years with mediocre events and many medals and payment items.

It seems to me that the company is laughing in our faces if that is the 3-month calendar of events.

  • I see how many are going to come to defend the million-dollar company for its mediocre work since the departure of Ingress Prime.

    I have created a speculation thread, that, maybe, just maybe, a new quest system will be in place early in the new year, which I speculate, MAY be the mechanism for more events yet to be announced

    I said it in the other thread and shared some images but it’s very lacking yet again.

    They don't even bother thinking about making a story for the game. Instead, they directly turn to the CIA puzzle.

    Also they will release the new nba allstars game next month, so imagine they want alot of focus for that game but it shouldnt at same time mean we ingress players hardly will get any events until march... feels really boring with not much to look forward until march as first saturday isnt my thing and second sunday starts to feel old also.. but looking the calendar its clearly feels we are forgotten and ingress doesnt get much love it deserves.🤔

    To be fair, this is more than we usually get. Low-bar and all.

    Would like to point out that when we did have a period of constant events, one nearly every week or weekend, for a few months there was a wide sentiment that it was too much.


    Do I wish there were more events? Absolutely. But also not so many that my feet feel like they are about to fall off.

    When is Second Sunday going to evolve from basically mirroring Mission Day? And if they aren't. Could we get some more game play based badges?


  • As it happens with Pokémon Go, the NBA team is not the same as the Ingress team, even so the game is very repetitive.

    And First Saturday or Second Sunday events are already a regular thing of the month, it's not like it's a new thing of the month for players.

    Not to mention that this year's anniversary that was supposed to be great for the game's 10 years was really rubbish.

    But to sell anomaly kits at sky-high prices if they have a lot of ideas.

    Pokemon GO: Another themed map with a bunch of events.

    Ingress: "We still have free VL/BLM beacons, you know".

    As long as people bring donations into ingress, it will continue to be a boring game. The developers added a red faction to the map. As a result, we have two red portals per 200,000 population in the city. Boring? Boring. Is the invasion of the red faction described in the plot? No. Boring? Boring. Is the red faction actively opposing players from other factions? No. Boring? Boring. and such "boring" a whole bunch.


    And what is the result? In my city, two smurfs and 3 frogs are actively playing, in it, as I said, 200,000 people. I try to show to the newcomers the game, they are not interested, since there is no normal introduction of the plot in the game, there is no normal training either. By the way, you didn’t notice that even the process of how to make connections between portals and how to make triangles was taken away from the training process? Also, the current version of the tutorial does not explain why we need to create fields.

    Big Quarterly (anomaly sized) events is an absolute minimum. Multiple box affecting events more frequently is the missing link between F2F first Saturday/second Sunday and anomalies. That is the hole that is needed as a lore drop foreshadowing anomalies.
