Niantic must make it more difficult to take down portals when we only have Prime. They fix the balace and we can start Prime and recharge. Now the balance is extreme bad and often gray when Prime start. I hope Niantic make shields stronger and works hard with analyze very good balance between time to start Prime and attack time.
XM still on my samsung s10+ is very hard too see, not much difference even after the new update which on some phones looks good xm, but not on my samsung, why? also neutral portals are still way too small too see....
With the upcoming update I think what is missing is the option to drop a portal key from the portal itself. It's much easier than going into inventory, find the right portal key, tap it and then drop it.
What I would like is: to be able to see the links and fields coming off a portal when I've selected it (which you've always been able to do in Redacted).
First, and foremost: the compass needle should rotate to indicate north.
Yes, I know. Push it to toggle dynamic. Not good enough. It should point to north, not to the top of the screen.
Secondly, and most desirably: there should be an option to just make prime look like redacted.
That is the only way to achieve true parity of features.
No two finger screen control? Fine. No one finger hold to fire xmp, make new portal, etc? Fine. But get it close. Having to re-learn every command is bad enough without also having to guess what everything is.
The compass needle on mine seems to work ok on mine when it there. Sometimes its not there for some odd reason. When the needle does not show up its because the mod boxes cover it up or when the description of the portal text it to long it seems to cover up the compass needle also. Take a look the next time you interact with a portal...
I have a lot of problems hacking, charging, and linking because I keep getting an error message that is blank. Some of my teammates have also had the same issues. If you sit and keep trying for about 10 minutes sometimes it will work. Most people don't have that much time for 1 hack. I would really like to see this resolved.
The compass needle does not rotate. Only the avatar points north, and it can be awkwardly small when zoomed out.
Also, the avatar used to try pointing in the direction of travel, so that is not how it's always been in redacted. In redacted there has always been a rotating compass needle in the top left of the screen.
In prime, there is a compass needle in the top right, but it always points up instead of north.
The compass needle does not point North. It points in the direction of North of the map view. If you rotate the map, the compass needle will follow.
Now. there are two separate modes:
In the static compass mode, the map does not rotate automatically. It only rotates when you rotate it yourself.
In the dynamic compass mode, the map will automatically rotate when you move around so that the compass needle actually shows north.
You can toggle between these two modes by tapping on the compass needle. You recognize the different modes because in the dynamic node, the needle has a white marking at its tip that is not there in the static mode.
This is the exact same behaviour as in Redacted (except for the white tip to differentiate the modes).
Being able to participate in an anomaly as a first-class participant (see: anomaly medal, counting toward scoring) without having to purchase a paid pass.
If it doesn't rotate then there is something wrong with your phone and/or it is a bug that should be reported. The compass needle absolutely does rotate when I rotate the map.
I like the functionalities of Prime but can't get used to the visuals; I'd love to have a "retro" skin that would male portals, links and fields look like they do on Redacted
Backward support for my poor xperia C and its Android 4.2
Short of that, the ability to last more than 2 hours without draining my battery dry. and a quick "hack without key" option in the overworld like the slide menu in Redacted.
Please oh please can I see the address of a portal when I click on the box? I explore new places often & am directionally challenged - NEED AN ADDRESS.
Also, miss the sound of breaking glass when destroying an enemy reso. So satisfying in redacted.
The one thing in Prime that bugs me the most is the animation of the flame when you recharge a portal. The other thing I would like to see is the little red dot on the north res slot.

Niantic have nerfed AXAs, to ensure that portals can be taken down with, relative, ease.
Speed recharging has changed, as Prime updates far more frequently than Redacted.
This will be improved on further when the server backend upgrade is completed.
XM still on my samsung s10+ is very hard too see, not much difference even after the new update which on some phones looks good xm, but not on my samsung, why? also neutral portals are still way too small too see....
I would like to see the flame animation removed from the portal when deploying or recharging.
With the upcoming update I think what is missing is the option to drop a portal key from the portal itself. It's much easier than going into inventory, find the right portal key, tap it and then drop it.
I think this addresses that:
UI: Added a key button to portal details to manage keys.

Nah. I don't think that is a good idea
The compass needle always shows north. It behaves exactly like it did in Redacted.
If you want Redacted back, get a time machine. This is the only way to make that happen.
Still missing railways on the base map

I'd really want the option to change the language of Ingress and not forcing it to the native language of the OS, like redacted did

What are the things in REDACTED that you most want to see in Prime that have not been implemented?
Clean and crystall graphics, language selection, map viewing range.

You mean like we literally got in the last update?
I just checked, yes, we actually got that now. Had to use another phone to check 'cos no backward support

This has nothing to do with Prime and Redacted.
Prime already has that.
Ugh. Come on. That has nothing to do with Prime and Redacted.
