<p>Now we're approaching difficult choices. Niantic has to change the rules to give the Res a chance to win because in a perpetual game, you need a tick-tock-tick-tock series of wins for each side, otherwise population/morale nosedives and one side is more disinterested. This was meant to be a Res win with the primary in their territory and also a global event challenge which normally goes to the Res. With the global event cancelled, ENL worked hard to eke out another victory. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, how long will the ENL keep fighting for no permanent rewards? No bio badges the Res have to look at, no XM on the ground Res have to look at and have FOMO. This is what drives competition, not merely a win/loss column. The best reward you can offer is something the other team is forced to see, but has to miss out for losing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if that's too much work, how about the winning faction of each anomaly that gets badges gets a red flair border around any win they achieved? Losing side doesn't get the border flair. </p><p><br /></p><p><a data-username="NianticBrian" data-userid="20895" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticBrian">@NianticBrian</a> <a data-username="NianticThia" data-userid="47111" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticThia">@NianticThia</a> *wave*</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello.</p><p>I'm new here, so I don't really know how things work around here. 😅 I wanted to make a Feature Request. </p><p>In the area I'm living there are not many Portals, perhaps a new mechanic can be implemented in the Game? Such as Collection of "Data Fragments"? The player would have to collect a bunch of these fragments to fill a progress bar or something like that. </p><p>To "catch" a Data Fragment player would need to guess a sequence/passphrase or resolve a small problem/GlyphHack (with a time limit). </p><p>After filling the Data Fragment Collection progress bar the player could be rewarded a small amount of CMU (similarly as in PokéGo for holding a Gym).</p><p>Collecting Data Fragments could also have a Streak effect. </p><p>There could also be Different types of Data. </p><p>Some of the Data Fragments could be Encrypted and the Player would need to use a Decryptor and decryption would take place as the player walks around (similar to the Egg  Incubation mechanic in PokéGo). </p><p>Each Data Fragment would have different random value (bytes?). that would go to the specific Data Progress.</p>]]>

(Even for payment) some agents love to collect medias like first year media to now days. But they have their inventory space reduced for this passion. With a “media locker” Niantic can earn money with that and agents love to purchase those capsules. Just saying...</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>TL;DR: more features pls</p><p>---</p><p>I'll do the impossible and actually use the Forum feedback category for forum feedback. Chilling, I know.</p><p>In July last year I've already made a topic of some things I'd love to see in the forum by comparing the Ingress to the Catan forum. Some features, most notably the bug tracker, have made it's way over, but some, at least for me, no-brainers haven't.</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;recordID&quot;:11380,&quot;recordType&quot;:&quot;discussion&quot;,&quot;body&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;With Catan on the horizon, it has received it&amp;#039;s own community forum (https:\/\/community.catanworldexplorers.com), just like Ingress, Harry Potter and Wayfarer. In contrast to the Ingress community however, Catan has a lot more functionality, stuff that I&amp;#039;m not quite sure why it isn&amp;#039;t in the Ingress forum too. Lemme start to list a few:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A functional bug report tool&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/6DJPRC708ZDG\/screenshot-20200702-022433.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/6DJPRC708ZDG\/screenshot-20200702-022433.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe the Wayfarer forum also has that. Let&amp;#039;s face it, Ingress is not without bugs, and the current way to report them is... inefficient. Why not use the same bug report system you use on the other forums?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Groups\/Communities&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/V0A2JC8R4MBZ\/screenshot-20200702-021904.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/V0A2JC8R4MBZ\/screenshot-20200702-021904.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/3NPBS5M1WN46\/screenshot-20200702-021943.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/3NPBS5M1WN46\/screenshot-20200702-021943.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This also seems like a no-brainer to me. One of the main reasons G+ was so beloved is because you could easily create communities for whatever reason you saw fit, be it for local communities, IFS, NL-1331 events or anomalies. All that helped connect agents in an &amp;quot;orderly way&amp;quot; which can&amp;#039;t really be replicated by Telegram, Discord or whatever is used currently. In Catan, although you can&amp;#039;t actually post in them, you&amp;#039;re able to create groups which you can set to either private, public or secret. Those groups would help connect and organize massively in Ingress too. Speaking of connecting:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community Map&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/DBP9CCWSPNGE\/screenshot-20200702-021437.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/DBP9CCWSPNGE\/screenshot-20200702-021437.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long ago on ingress.com, there was also such a community map on the main ingress.con website which linked to various G+ communities. New agents are often confused as to where to ask for help or where to find a community. Even veteran agents who are looking to connect to a specific area often have to search for a long time to find the specific community within that area. As this map supports lots of links to different services (Telegram, Discord, Facebook and the forum itself), I implore you to please think about putting this into the Ingress forum too. You can even create temporary entries that will be deleted from the map once a certain date has passed, perfect for IFS or other events.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/NQFT2B0EMMKY\/screenshot-20200702-021728.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/NQFT2B0EMMKY\/screenshot-20200702-021728.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Private messages&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/ATV3QNHH31MO\/screenshot-20200702-024812.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/ATV3QNHH31MO\/screenshot-20200702-024812.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This one I can kinda understand not being available as some agents are vicious, but still, private messages are way safer then transmitting a message to an agent via COMM. In fact, when the Ingress community first started, the feature was enabled, which probably means &lt;a class=\&quot;atMention\&quot; data-username=\&quot;Ishira\&quot; data-userid=\&quot;5976\&quot; href=\&quot;https:\/\/community.ingress.com\/en\/profile\/Ishira\&quot;&gt;@Ishira&lt;\/a&gt; and I are the only ones who ever sent messages via this forum 😅&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/AUABSRPFMMUK\/screenshot-20200702-025138.png\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/AUABSRPFMMUK\/screenshot-20200702-025138.png&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would love to see the forum evolve and have it be a place akin to the old G+ days.

<p>Now I know that some features have probably been disabled to prevent abuse and spam, but the forum has a great tool to combat that: the Level system. Currently, there are 5 forum levels, and the only thing that it does right now is giving L2+ agents the ability to embed links and upload pictures. Level 2 itself isn't that hard to reach either, I believe it's either getting 10 points or being registered on the forum for more then 24 hours, whichever comes first (which was added during the Tessellation so agents could post screenshots)</p><p>Here are all the level requirements as I remember them:</p><ul><li>L1: Register on the forum, awarded instantly</li><li>L2: 50 points/24h on the forum</li><li>L3: 100 points</li><li>L4: 500 points</li><li>L5: 1000 points</li></ul><p>Locking some features behind the level system may sound unfair, but it'll keep abuse and spam in check, as people with higher levels normally are the ones that are more active and have good posts. Of course agents can ask their mates to go like their comments and posts, but that case should be rare and can be more easily managed by the moderators.</p><p>I'll try to list some features I'd like to see and the level they should require in my humble opinion.</p><p>---</p><h2><strong>Custom profile picture (L2)</strong></h2><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/VINCA7YL9XPZ\/image.png&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Screenshot of the Vanilla Forum documentation&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:28749,&quot;width&quot;:684,&quot;height&quot;:267,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;medium&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

<p>Agents have full control over who joins the group and, if set up correctly, also have moderation power like deleting stuff they don't see fit for their group. In addition, they can make <a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fsuccess.vanillaforums.com%2Fkb%2Farticles%2F101-announcements" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">announcements</a> that pin to the top of the group and can create Events (if enabled, see below).</p><p>A few public groups that I can think of from the top of my head: Regional groups (for new and established agents to connect, plan and share stuff), Operation Essex, Project Lycaeum or the Glyph Journal (for the investigators), Swag brag and trade, and "The Order of The Link Amps" or "Keyhoarders Anonymous" (silly little fun groups).</p><p>As groups can clutter the public group directory quite a bit, agents should have reached L3 or higher to prevent that, while also ensuring community leaders can easily establish groups without needing to participate in the forum for weeks or months.

<p><strong><em>Events</em></strong></p><p>This was also a popular part of G+.

<p><em>Wir wissen, dass die Bewegungsfreiheit einiger Agenten derzeit eingeschränkt ist; bitte beachte die Richtlinien der örtlichen Gesundheitsbehörden. Um Agenten auch in Zukunft eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit zu bieten, die Optima-Medaille zu verdienen, werden wir zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt (TBD) ein Optima Kinetic Challenge Bonus Event mit der gleichen Optima-Medaille abhalten.</em> </p><p>Durch die Sicherung des Wochenend-Events "Resonate the World" hat der Widerstand erfolgreich das temporäre JARVIS-Programm für alle Agenten freigeschaltet, das von Freitag, 19. März 16:00 UTC* bis Montag, 29. März 16:00 UTC läuft:</p><p><strong>JARVIS-Programm</strong></p><ul><li>1 ADA-Reflektor + 10 L6+ XMP + 6.000 XM + 4km </li></ul><p>Zusätzlich zum oben genannten temporären JARVIS-Programm werden auch die folgenden kinetischen Kapselprogramme für die Dauer dieses Events online gebracht und aktualisiert:</p><p><strong>2 Hypercubes-Programm</strong></p><ul><li>10 L4+ Power Cubes + 6000 XM + 4km</li></ul><p><strong>8 L8-Resonatoren-Programm</strong></p><ul><li>40 L4+ Resonatoren + 6000 XM + 4km</li></ul><p><strong>Sehr seltene Programme: Portalschild; Heat Sink; Multi-Hack; SoftBank Ultra Link</strong></p><ul><li>Entfernung der kinetischen Energie von 8km auf 2km reduziert</li></ul><p>Signal Intelligence hat uns zu einer möglichen Quelle dieser temporären Programme geführt, aber zunächst eine kurze Einführung: Ein Portal kann wie eine Tür wirken, und die jüngste Zunahme der Resonatoren-Einsätzen war ein sanftes Klopfen an diese Tür. Wenn zum Beispiel zwei identische Stimmgabeln nebeneinander liegen, bewirkt das Anschlagen einer Stimmgabel, dass die andere auf der gleichen Frequenz mitschwingt. In ähnlicher Weise glauben wir, dass diese harmonische Resonanz in dem/den Portalnetzwerk(en) stattfindet und uns eine alternative Version von vergangenen Ereignissen, Erinnerungen und sogar Technologien zeigt.</p><p>Es scheint, als ob etwas oder jemand zurückgeklopft hat, und temporäre Programme waren nicht die einzigen Daten, die durchgelassen wurden. In dieser alternativen Realität muss das NEMESIS-Mitglied Optima noch besiegt werden. Erzeuge genügend kinetische Energie durch Bewegung und wehre Optimas Vorstöße ab. <strong>Schließe 4 beliebige kinetische Kapselprogramme während der globalen Herausforderung ab und schalte deine Optima Kinetic Challenge Medaille frei.</strong></p><p><strong>Für die Dauer der Globalen Herausforderung wird dem Agentenprofil eine neue Ereignismessung hinzugefügt, die dir dabei hilft, die Anzahl der von dir abgeschlossenen Programme zu überwachen. Die Optima Kinetic Challenge Medaille ist eine einzelne Bronze-Stufe.</strong></p><p>Zur Erinnerung: Die reduzierte 2km Distanz gilt nur für neu gestartete Programme und nicht für Programme, die bereits vor dem Start der Global Challenge liefen. Wenn dein kinetisches Kapselprogramm zum Beispiel 3,5 km/8,0 km lang ist, wenn das Event beginnt, wird es nicht auf 3,5 km/2,0 km reduziert. Die reduzierte Distanz ist nicht rückwirkend; du musst dein bestehendes 8,0-km-Programm abschließen, und die reduzierte Distanz wird bei Ihrem nächsten Programmlauf aktiviert.</p><p>Profitiere von der reduzierten Distanz für neu gelaufene Programme, indem du 1 kostenloses Kinetic Program Bundle einlöst, das für die Dauer dieser Global Challenge verfügbar ist: </p><p><strong>Kostenloses kinetisches Programmpaket</strong> (0 CMU)</p><ul><li>3 Seltene Schilde; 3 Seltene Heat Sinks; 3 Seltene Multi-Hacks; 3 Seltene Link-Amps</li></ul><p><strong>Ermäßigtes Kinetik-Programm-Paket </strong>(1.000 CMU)</p><ul><li>3 Seltene Schilde; 3 Seltene Heat Sinks; 3 Seltene Multi-Hacks; 3 Seltene Link-Amps</li></ul><p>Wie immer gilt: Achten auf deine Umgebung und befolge die Richtlinien der örtlichen Gesundheitsbehörden, wenn du Ingress spielst. Kommende Events können sich ändern. Die neuesten Informationen über Ingress-Events und Feature-Updates findest du unter COMM &gt; NEWS.</p><p>- Das Ingress-Team</p><p>*<em>Korrektur: Um die Sommerzeit zu berücksichtigen, wurde die zuvor kommunizierte Startzeit Freitag, 19.

In order to provide Agents with an additional opportunity to earn the Optima Medal in the future, we will be holding an Optima Kinetic Challenge bonus event with the same Optima Medal at a later date TBD.&amp;nbsp;&lt;\/em&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By securing the Resonate the World weekend event, the Resistance have successfully unlocked the temporary JARVIS Program for all Agents, starting Friday, March 19th 16:00 UTC* to Monday, March 29th 16:00 UTC:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JARVIS Program&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 ADA Refactor + 10 L6+ XMP + 6,000 XM + 4km&amp;nbsp;&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to the temporary JARVIS Program above, the following Kinetic Capsule Programs will also be brought online and updated for the duration of this event:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 Hypercubes Program&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;10 L4+ Power Cubes + 6000 XM + 4km&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8 L8 Resonators Program&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;40 L4+ Resonators + 6000 XM + 4km&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Very Rare Portal Shield; Heat Sink; Multi-Hack; SoftBank Ultra Link Programs&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kinetic energy distance reduced from 8km to 2km&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Signals intelligence has led us to a possible source of these temporary Programs, but first, a brief primer: A Portal can act like a doorway, and the recent increase in Resonator deploys was a gentle knock on that door. For example, when 2 identical tuning forks are placed next to 1 another, striking 1 tuning fork will cause the other to resonate at the same frequency. Much in the same way, we believe this Harmonic Resonance may be happening across the Portal Network(s), showing us an alternate version of past events, memories, and even technologies.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It appears as though something or someone has knocked back, and temporary Programs were not the only data to pass through. In this alternate reality, NEMESIS associate Optima has yet to be defeated. Generate enough kinetic energy through movement and repel Optima&amp;rsquo;s advances. &lt;strong&gt;Complete any 4 Kinetic Capsule Programs during the Global Challenge and unlock your Optima Kinetic Challenge Medal.&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There will be a new event metric added to your Agent Profile for the duration of the Global Challenge to help you monitor the number of Programs you have completed. The Optima Kinetic Challenge Medal is a single Bronze tier.&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember: The reduced 2km Kinetic Capsule distance only applies to newly run Programs, and does not apply to Programs already running prior to the start of the Global Challenge. For example, if your Kinetic Capsule Program is at 3.5km\/8.0km when the event starts, it will not be reduced to 3.5km\/2.0km.

For example, when 2 identical tuning forks are placed next to 1 another, striking 1 tuning fork will cause the other to resonate at the same frequency. Much in the same way, we believe this Harmonic Resonance may be happening across the Portal Network(s), showing us an alternate version of past events, memories, and even technologies.\\nIt appears as though something or someone has knocked back, and temporary Programs were not the only data to pass through. In this alternate reality, NEMESIS associate Optima has yet to be defeated.

This can be done retroactively, as easy as count medal points and reward them when released.</li><li>Those CMU would incentivate buying boosts and cosmetics, 200*5=1k CMU per 2 weeks, it's not a huge amount but an small reward for helping NIA to build the new database.A</li><li>A possible step forward could be giving 10 CMU instead of 5 for new scans (portal scans you've never done).</li></ul><p>Please share your opinions and let's start a debate ☺️</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>At begining - i'm spending a lot for Ingress game. Apex was great idea - now i'm using like 4-5 on weekly basis. </p><p>But it won't make game proffitable for you as not everyone want to use them or have opportunity to use them effectively. I have some ideas you can consider.</p><ol><li>Frackers price are too high now. Before raise i used them few times during week. Now i'm not using them - not just because of price but they are used so rarely now that people looking into Intel knows i'm planing something instantly. Ergo - i'm not buying them anymore. Bring them back to old price and you will see - it will bring you much more profit.</li><li>Lower price of beacons. Like 66% drop. Make them real MICROtransactions as they do nothing but visual. People will use them just for fun then.</li><li>shop.ingress.com - really. Sell some swag. Sell loadout and medal cards. Sell merchandise. I want to buy some hoodie, want to buy some backpack, wanna get some cap. Official ingress phone gloves, phone covers. Come on. There is lot of stuff that will sell out easily.</li><li>Did i mention cards? Biocards are collectible. Medal ingame is some fun but hunting for pok... i mean biocards and collecting them all - is really fun for collectors. I don't get why you decided to sell them ingame shop only instead of keeping physical releases.</li><li>Host freakin' parties on anomalies and hexathlons alongside with POCs. Seriously. Build your brand for new playerbase (yeah - there is a lot of new players). Host OPR live. Just get easy money.</li><li>From teardown of updates we know that paid inventory spaces are coming. Some people hates an idea, i think it will be great. But... You have to gave people opportunity to earn it free because last thing you want is losing some playerbase. So let's say 5$ for permament +50 inventory space, 15$ for +200. Player can get them by each recursion (+200) or onix multiplier (+25/+50).</li><li>I saw something with subscription and inventory again - make it key related only. </li><li>Add more keylockers.</li><li>Start hunting for multiaccounts. Really easy ML algorithm running on your database once a week. Mark suspicious trades, send them to your team so they can look into it and... remove all so precious items. 3 strike policy in use - warning, warning, ban.</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>Ok something more about point 5. There are faction divided parties hosted by POCs. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they sucks but... You have a power to make huge, both factions party in "demilitarized zone". Just put few L8 temporary portals in party area, half of them blue, half of them green and make them immune for attacks during party time. Make few tables with your people - Q&amp;A area (it can be optional and kept for NL1331 events only), swag area, biocards area. Maybe even some beers branded by NIA made my local breweries.</p><p>To be clear - allow POCs to make their own, faction divided afterparties. </p><p>My POV - for playing ingress i spent something like 6-8k$ last year. For travel tickets, gasoline, hotels, car rentals, parking tickets, speeding tickets etc. :D ONLY something like 350$ directly to NIA (some swag paid on NL-1331, Dresden failomaly, APEX, Frackers, digital loadouts of medals). Would be happy to spent much more. Really. Just give me and other players opportunity. In return give us some quality product (i know pepople are biasing Prime, i like it, i understand technical issues and developing problems, but you need to be more transparent in communication, explain, show some roadmap, discuss ideas with playerbase). </p><p><a data-username="NianticBrian" data-userid="20895" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticBrian">@NianticBrian</a></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Agents, </p><p>Your actions have brought victory against Myriad. They were not able to inflict damage on the Portal network. The events in July gave us a glimpse of who Nemesis is and what their possible intentions are. It would seem that they are walking a dark and insidious path and we would have to keep our eyes open to find more clues about Nemesis. Myriad was only one of the pieces of the puzzle. </p><p>Aurora is the second piece. We believe this is another person or entity that wants to inflict harm on our universe. From what we can tell, they are here looking for games and mystery which no longer exist anymore in their world. We need to stop them from turning our universe into a mirror image of theirs.</p><p>To prevent our world from becoming assimilated and void of diversions, entertainment and amusement, we are asking that all Agents perform as many Glyph hacks as possible between August 15th at 5pm UTC and August 26th at 5pm UTC. </p><p>Portals offer Glyph sentences that can be between one and five characters in length depending on the level of the Portal. Each successfully completed Glyph hack sentence will earn an Agent one point if the Agent correctly draws all of the Glyph characters in the sentence on the first attempt. An Agent can earn a maximum of five points per Portal, one for each sentence length. However, if an Agent is not able to successfully complete a sentence on the first try, they will no longer be able to earn a point for that Glyph sentence length on that specific Portal. </p><p>For example:</p><ul><li>Agent Smith Glyph hacks Portal A and successfully completes the one character Glyph hack sentence. They earn one point. </li><li>Agent Smith upgrades Portal A and successfully completes the two character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point. </li><li>Agent Smith upgrades Portal A again and does NOT successfully complete the three character Glyph hack sentence. Agent Smith does not earn a point. Glyph hacking Portal A again and successfully completing the three character Glyph hack sentence will NOT earn Agent Smith a point. </li><li>Agent Smith and a friend(s) upgrades Portal A again and successfully completes the four character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point.</li><li>Agent Smith and a friend(s) upgrades Portal A and successfully completes the five character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point.</li><li>Agent Smith has earned four points out of a maximum of five from Portal A. </li></ul><p>By August 26th at 5pm UTC, Agents must meet a global challenge threshold of 36,000,000 combined Glyph points in order to stop Aurora. We have also created an Aurora Global Challenge Status Report which can be viewed here, <a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FAuroraGlobalChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">http://bit.ly/AuroraGlobalChallenge</a>, and will be updated every 12 hours according to the schedule in the report. </p><p>If the objective is met, items obtained by Glyph hacking will increase by approximately 33% from August 27th at 5pm UTC to September 4th at 5pm UTC. If unsuccessful, the output from Glyph hacking will be reduced by 33%. </p><p>If the global challenge threshold is achieved successfully, there will also be a limited time reward from August 28th at 5pm UTC to September 2nd at 5pm UTC that will enable Glyph hacking to provide 1.5x the normal AP. In addition, we are very close to understanding several new Glyphs. By successfully achieving the global threshold, we believe that enough data will be collected that would unlock these new Glyphs as well. </p><p>An individual scanner achievement medal can also be earned if players successfully earns 100, 500, or 1000 total challenge points during the event. There will be a new event metric enabled in scanners for the duration of the event to track how many points you have earned during this challenge.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Problems:</strong></p><ol><li><strong>Questionable Submissions</strong>: A majority of OPR discussions revolve around the quality of submissions and "edge cases" that need to have scrutiny.    </li><li><strong>Tired Reviewers: </strong>A huge amount of burnout for OPR reviewers is because they are tired of wading through junk.</li><li><strong>Ignorant Submitters</strong>: New submitters (L10) often get submissions rejected over and over and have no idea why.</li><li><strong>Clueless Players: </strong>Players on all games have NO idea how portals/stops get made and what makes a portal/stop good.</li></ol><p><strong>Suggested Actions:</strong></p><ol><li><strong>Make L10s go through the same OPR informational overview and quiz</strong> that L12s go through to get into OPR.   Can't pass the quiz?   Can't submit.   This does three things:  One, it socializes portal criteria so many more people know what is good and what is not.   Two, it tries to weed out those who are simply careless.   Three, it tries to impress upon submitters that criteria <em>matters</em>.</li><li><strong>Publish the current OPR criteria and guidelines</strong>.   Why not?   What could possibly be the harm of publishing this -- better portals?   Oh $DEITY, no, we wouldn't want that. :)  Breaking the 4th wall?  Sure, but c'mon, it's not like that NEVER happens.   I'm sure you can figure it out, Niantic.  "Roland Jarvis reports researchers have discovered a pattern to new portals appearing in the network...here's the list......"</li><li><strong>Reward submitters/reviewers for great portals</strong> -- get a portal in that gets 5-stars from 5 reviewers?   5000AP!  Maybe 10,000!    Reward OPR reviewers for great agreement rates -- maybe if you have a 90% or higher agreement rate you should be able to hold 2100 items instead of 2000 or something.   Incentivize people to make quality and they <em>will</em>.</li></ol><p>What do you say, people of Niantic/Ingress?   What other suggestions do you have?  We can do it better, cheaper, faster!   I swear!</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>The Umbra update ends with <em>"we need your help as we explore ways to make Ingress more sustainable, and we need your help now." </em>The implication of this is that somewhere on a spreadsheet in Niantic HQ is a number, the number of dollars this game needs to make per month to keep going, and it currently isn't doing that.</p><p>We already have threads on this forum for ideas about how to reach that number, and threads about the ethics of that number not reflecting the value of building other games from the POI database Ingress generates, etc. but I'd like start a discussion on a slightly different theme - gamification.</p><p><strong>We're all looking at this as a cross-faction issue outside the game. Maybe there is value and opportunity in looking at how this could become an in-game factional competition?</strong> </p><p>While Niantic probably can't reveal that spreadsheet number to us  for all sorts of business reasons,  perhaps they could reveal a <em>factional</em> breakdown of income, and turn that into a competition? If there's one thing this playerbase is really good at it's competing with the other faction, so why not gamifiy the sustainability number?</p><p>Perhaps we could race to reach that sustainability number each month, and be given some factional reward for contributing the most to getting there?</p><p>Perhaps this could be part of the storyline too - funding withdrawn from XM investigations leads to researchers from each faction needing funds to continue their work, racing to discover new technology?</p><p>Perhaps we could be set stretch goals for defined rewards like 'exceed the sustainability number by our hidden target for 3 consecutive months and we'll hire a team to work on a [redacted] skin for Prime.'</p><p>Perhaps the winning team gets new features first? </p><p>Perhaps... lots of other things?</p><p>There would of course be good and bad ways to gamify sustainability, positives and negatives to doing it, and I've only scratched the surface of it in this post, so I'm starting this thread for discussing it. <em>Over to you...</em></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Recently Ingress shared a new event called "NIA Field Test", I think everyone already saw it. I Have a couple questions about this. The first is, this would give a medal in the scanner? or SWAG? and, what is the purpose of this event? test for anomalies only with prime after the closing of redacted?. The las question is, what metrics will measure? the same of the last anomaly?</p><p>thanks <span>✌️</span></p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, </p><p>I thought a long time before I decided to present my idea here. Share your opinion in the commentaries</p><p>My idea:</p><p>---A Mentoring System---</p><p>1. Each OPR reviewer with (example) Onyx Recon medal can invite 3 lv 10+ Agents or lv 40 Trainers (via Email) to OPR. </p><p>2. A Mentor can See the OPR Stats of his "Student" and can kick out a Person from his Mentoring program</p><p>3. After the Student reaches (example) 200 reviews  an automatic kickout can Happen when the Students accordance falls (example) under 50 %</p><p>4. When a Student was kicked out automatic he isn't able to use OPR for (example) 2 months and cant hired by the same Mentor as before</p><p>5. For every (example) 10 points the Student does, the Mentor gets one 1 point for his upgrades. </p><p>6. If a Student reaches 10k matching reviews He will be able to become a Mentor and leaves the old Mentoring Program. And the old Mentor gets 1 Upgrade. </p><p>7. ...</p>]]>
