I am super envious of cities with ludicrous amounts of portals. Even so I live in the largest metropolitan city of my country, and even with going out, every night, for 2 hours, the Exo-5 field challenge top tier was impossible.
@NianticBrian please consider this when setting goals for the challenge, where many are willing to get to the extra tier, but it NEEDs to be feasible in cities which do not have ludicrous amounts of portals. Not everyone has the time to travel to attain that tier of badge, even if they have the time.
Looks like you have several thousand portals in Auckland NZ from a quick check. Lots of (current) bad linking, lots of grey portals. Almost 50% of the portals are grey in when I look around the city. Some are fielded over, ect. Plenty of portals to get fields with. Many of the grey ones are portals that require walking to get to.
Maybe @Perringaiden can do his little scan thing he does over intel & get an accurate count of how many portals your area has? Because it looks like a good amount.
Oh, and I asked for an Onyx tier for those of us who enjoy some of the crazier challenges that we used to do. It's not for everyone.
I disagree, exo5 was easy to do, just right amount of keys, some ada viruses and 2sbul every hour destroy nearby anchor and relink prepared prelinked ~24 portals, or of course one enemy friend and xfaction work, but this was impossible in my area.
exo5 was far from easy... when u live in a blue city and ENL in my town almost refused to play just so that opposite team would struggle then it was very hard almost impossible reach highest tier of that medal.
I hope NIA posts the details, is this challenge solo or do we need to make X fields global to reach treshhold so that everyone or nobody gets medal if we fail global goal ??
I micro-fielded multiple locations with no shields, to encourage locals to reset my work for me for EXO5. I did between 58 and 356 fields in a day this way. I actually kept track of my stats during that event. 2,808 links for the 2,000 fields. (stopped tracking after I hit my goal). But I got a ton better at fielding after that event.
You don't have to get the top tier. Every agent gets to play to their own liking. It can be more time consuming, but it's integral part of the game. And the best way to gain AP hand over fist.
Instead of having a ridiculous top tier, it should recognize multiples like Recursion. So people can decide on a goal of "3x" and it'll show how many times over they reached the standard top tier.
Can we get soon info the exact details, it would help knowing in advance the exact details for the fields we need to make, why keep us in the loop so long ?
and is the lucida and optima part of the field challenge ? not sure why its empty inside no character head ??
@NianticBrian Will you please implement some kind of opt-out for these challenges for us that strive for an "all black" profile? It's really an issue for me and others who strive towards this. I'm tired of stop playing during these periods to avoid getting the badge. And that one that practically was impossible to avoid (Avenir? you got it just from hacking ONCE) was a real bummer. (Support just keep sending me copy pasted replies when i ask them to remove my Avenir badge)

Looking forward to know the rules as we have to initiate decay before Friday 02.07.20 19:00 UTC 😅.
IF decay is useful. Depends on the rules.
Get ready! After that will coming two more of it. lol
Ugly badges + PvE + Easy challenges + Bad UI = Ingress Prime
Moar fields. Bring it!
Hoping that @NianticBrian will give us an ONYX tier for once. Some of us like to aim high...
It is a someone green badge, maybe ENL will actually do this one?
This time the excuse will be "I don't have the other badges so it will look stupid without them!" 🙄😂

Lots of portals that take quite some time to link up, some small clusters, that get gobbled up quick.
Low turnover due to lack of players from both factions, and you can see where this is heading.
Fields made or MU covered by fields. Need some more information as we all assumed it going to be fields created.
E bun si bronzu

read my post carefully you will find out, you dont need other faction to succeed, I didnt need it. but would had been easier.
Can we have some details please?
Not looking forward for a field challenge, tbo. Are more time consuming and sometimes impossible to reach.
It's curious how some people dislikes doing the true objective of the game and the action that rewards more AP.
En el ultimo evento de fields (EXO5), fue dificil hacer los fields veremos si es posible hacer este reto al máximo,
Exactly 😂😂

Still waiting for further details..... please?
I would like both options. Insanely hight gold tier (or a higher rank, like the Via lux, or count times like recursed badges.
Well I hope.itll be doable...
Looking forward this challenge. Waiting for more info and hope it won't be impossible or super hard... 😀😀
Bangup job on communication Niantic.
Whoops i didn't capture all my local portals hahaa. (Just to make things more difficult 🙈) challenge will way less harder then exo5.

and is the lucida and optima part of the field challenge ? not sure why its empty inside no character head ??
