anyhow as i am usually too full that sth replication could take place (yes guys we ve a zillion more portals but not a single slot more inventory space) could we pls get differently colored capsules?
Voy a ir a comentar.... Dicen que se llevan las quatum? Pero nos bajan el tiempo de espera por lo hack? Así pos si, dijo el Chavo del 8. Si no bajan el tiempo de hack vamos mal. No me gusta.
Peeeeeeeeero, si arreglan a los MULTI ganadores del C.O.R.E... (el que sabe, sabe).
Really dislike this.. in areas with few players, Q capsules are a way to gain l8 gear. I almost exclusively use K capsules for hypercubes as the others don't seem worth the pay off. Hope this will be reconsidered.
NIA still damaged all this game , first 500 m links, then red portal , now this , can you tell me a good reason to still pay every month and continue play this ?
Overall good plan to phase out the Quantum Capsules.
And is good to see that programs for producing more portal keys is coming.
Though, I still expect that the common Kinetic Capsule be filled with producing common items, such as Resonators and Xmps up to your player level (currently mac is L8 gear)
But I also expect that Rare Kinetic Capsules are solely to produce Rare items from Common items.
And an introduce VR Kc's to facilitate production of Very Rare items
Good move to fight "warehouses" and community sellers of items. Walking should be compensate with AP. Each km should be 1000 AP and with retroactive action. I hope are not a lot of players leaving the game but are hard each improvement from NIA.
1) QC are allowing casual players to get gear without having to farm. Those casual players can get bursters/mods passively and then spend half an hour/an hour playing with that gear because they don't have time or they don't want to spend that time on ingress.
2) Increasing accessibility to gear promotes activity and reduces the need of black market of items
3) Mods will be insanely hard to find. Bursters can tear down mods easily, imagine if you can't hack the shields you need to maintain your area, especially when the number of portals has increased without increasing the number of items received.
4) Spoofing will be increased to collect keys from key anchors. If you punished spoofed keys, I expect 20-30% of the player base to be banned.
5) Very rare gear for anomalies will be insanely hard or demanding. Further increase of black market activity.
Please increase the number of concurrent programs that can be run. At least one more so that it's 8 total would make sense since 8 is the magic number in Ingress.
Possibly also consider having different program tiers and a limit to the number of concurrent programs per tier but with a higher total. Say 3 tiers, 4 each for a total of 12.
So it looks like there was an exploit I was unaware of that allowed you to duplicate keys in quantum capsules. I've not seen how to do it, but it seems to me like the solution is to...not allow that. I agree, that's a terrible feature. It should be removed. Don't let people have infinite keys.
Meantime, I like many on this thread rely on quantum capsules to build up basic resources like resonators and mods. I have kinetic capsules, but have apparently hit the limit on the number I have running. Getting 15 more kinetic capsules isn't going to **** much good at all.
Somebody still has to farm these keys, somebody still had to farm these quantum caps (or go to IRL events). These are my reward for playing the game for 5+ years and keeping at it. That item should be in my inventory until the server shuts down. This sets bad precedent that Niantic can just remove any item from your inventory or replace it at will for game balance. Imagine if they decide tomorrow that all Aegis shields will be VR shields, or all VRLAs are now SBULs. You're now telling me the q caps I saved up are now temporary. Some people actually paid money for these in the form of passcodes from Niantic sanctioned events like NL-1331, anomalies, etc.
This absolutely won't impact how many keys are in the environment, it just means key farming will ramp up even more which helps Niantic out financially as people will use more VR farm gear to farm more keys and use frackers while doing so at least that is my opinion on their thought process.
Instead of changing stuff, how about you fix the lagg or maybe finally complete some of the new features added over the past few years? Or fix sync from wayfarer for portal images or any of the many broken or half finished things in Ingress.
Keep removing stuff from the game without fixing bugs or adding "value" to the game doesn't keep agents around. Sure doesn't attract new agents.
How confident are you that when this "switch" happens, we all don't lose our gear in the qcaps?
I've moved away from the blue capsules and have been using qcaps to store all of my gear in them.
The same as other comments, I have no farms nearby and very little activity, so I use my QC to make XMP8's. I really really hope that new recipes are added to make these common items!!
How many agents are going to swap qcaps with other agents in order to get a cr4pton of kcaps? I know I am going to bug a bunch of agents in the next week. I'm **** for 100+ kcaps. I'm sure someone will figure out how to obtain thousands of them. 🤣
The only thing that concerns me is how will rare kinetic capsules have and handle key duplication programs. Qcaps best feature in my opinion is key duplication, makes remote portals usable after x months of key duplication. If there's a new key duplication program on kinetic capsules it is destined to be abused.
1) QC are allowing casual players to get gear without having to farm.
Which I don't like. There used to be farms and now there aren't any in my area. If QC removal makes them return or at least makes agents more dependent on each other, I'm ok with that. Ingress is a team game.
2) Increasing accessibility to gear promotes activity and reduces the need of black market of items
And makes obsolete the layer of tactic where you decide what to spend limited resources on. Not fun if everyone has unlimited resources and you can't make a drought for the opponent and force them to move and find ways to get gear.
3) Mods will be insanely hard to find. Bursters can tear down mods easily, imagine if you can't hack the shields you need to maintain your area
Then you rebuild and get even more AP and stats for that, not just some Recharger.
4) Spoofing will be increased to collect keys from key anchors. If you punished spoofed keys, I expect 20-30% of the player base to be banned.
6) They haven't fixed cheating at all
This is for Niantic to figure out. Agree spoofing would be a pain if not managed properly (and currently it is not).
5) Very rare gear for anomalies will be insanely hard or demanding.
I told about this above, resources aren't supposed to be unlimited. Efficient use of limited resources is what would matter more and I only appreciate that.
Getting rid of infinite item and key generators I understand, but how are we going to be able to get more copies of each Media without Quantums? It might not be a big part of the game, but trading copies of rare Media is an old tradition like sharing agent cards. From FS media to pieces of a large puzzle, unless we get a way to get more than one media from hacks I see this as the end of Media collection.
I use mine to replicate busters as l8 busters. But I can see the need to change (not remove) them if they are mostly being used for key replication, just remove the option to replicate keys, make keys vr level and that would end the issue.
But as niantic never listen to its player base and go ahead dumb ideas. Let's at least make some good recipes for the kinetic capsule. Like, 25 l4-7 busters for 10 level 8 (was going to say 10 for 5, like cubes for hyper cubes, but thats already a bit broken)
I've played less and less since Prime came out. Same can be said for 80% of the players in my area. Right now I still need to open the game every couple weeks to shuffle gear around in my Quantum capsules. Now I won't need to open it up at all any more. Forcing people to make a choice (play more or stop playing), will not work out well for Niantic.
Comments
So when can we expect these new Kinetic Capsule Programs? About the same time Recursed agents can expect the unique items they were promised?
No more big ops to highlight, CHECK.
No more linkstars to highlight, CHECK.
You really should clarify whether the plans for the future of Ingress are going to be.
Next thing is to remove the rare and VR linkamps so that it can only be linked at a shorter distance?
Remove the links? Remove the fields?
What will be the next thing to be removed from the game?
4 words, that rly sucks...
anyhow as i am usually too full that sth replication could take place (yes guys we ve a zillion more portals but not a single slot more inventory space) could we pls get differently colored capsules?
Voy a ir a comentar.... Dicen que se llevan las quatum? Pero nos bajan el tiempo de espera por lo hack? Así pos si, dijo el Chavo del 8. Si no bajan el tiempo de hack vamos mal. No me gusta.
Peeeeeeeeero, si arreglan a los MULTI ganadores del C.O.R.E... (el que sabe, sabe).

People already spoof to get keys, or are you saying people who previously didn't cheat, will now cheat?
NIA still damaged all this game , first 500 m links, then red portal , now this , can you tell me a good reason to still pay every month and continue play this ?

So many disagrees yet not a single argument how QCs are good for the game, other than "I want to get unlimited items and keys while doing nothing".
It will be much harder for an honest agent to get the keys. But the spoofers won't have a problem with that, they don't care.
A step against an honest agent in favor of spoofers.
The day after capsules go out, CORE is close. No more payment!
I’m shocked we don’t have a permanent tiered badge for KCap recipes crafted.
Not at all, depending entirely on the requirements.
Personally, I want keys from VR Kinetic Capsules.
The rare KCs are just too common
Eliminar las quantum... Después de los link amp very rare y más items útiles.
Dejar de que salgan lo puedo entender, llegar a cambiarlas por otras de dudosa validez lo veo fatal! Os estáis cargando el juego completamente!
Espero que podréis reconsiderar vuestra idea ya que muchas empiezan a ser las razones de dejar el juego después años de afición.

This is a bad plan. Please don't do it.
This is the worst decision niantic (lower case to show disrespect) has made since prime (also lower case to show disrespect).
Somebody still has to farm these keys, somebody still had to farm these quantum caps (or go to IRL events). These are my reward for playing the game for 5+ years and keeping at it.

There better be a way to kinetic keys otherwise for the nasty to get to keys people will move in their cars or spoof. Not want Niantic wants.

3 common for 1 rare mods.
👎 so we are supposed to increase driving/traveling and CO2 emissions to get long distance keys?
You that hate the real Ingress: keys, links, fields, MU, cycle play and team play (like BAFs) why do you play Ingress in the first place?
Never understood this.
Niantic, why not develop the unique global features of Ingress instead of dismantling it into a street ap/badge hunt game?
Never understood this either.
I've played less and less since Prime came out. Same can be said for 80% of the players in my area.
