Holidays and Festivals
Halloween other festivals are incoming, most other games have some sort of event, or Flair, in their game for such festivals
@NianticThia any chance for Ingress to sport something related to festivals.?
Halloween is one, Christmas is another

We did have Trek or Treat last year along with Halloween badge.
I’d like that back. It’s worth noting that Adventure Sync should be fixed in the first week of October according the HPWU folks and the Kinetic Capsule will be 1! 🎈
So perhaps that’ll be included to celebrate that new feature?
I don’t recall what we got at Christmas. The Ingress email recently said that the new events schedule is being finalised too.
Just to follow up after some poking around, in November & December we were going through the EOS Protocol events.
No specific Christmas one that I could see/remember.
Any October event? Oktoberfest is almost here.
Maybe news tomorow ☹️
Fun trick or treat mini event could include the portals giving a random amount of extra gear (treat) or nothing at all (trick) per hack/glpyh. Combine it with some fun graphics maybe?
For Christmas (week maybe) have a holiday gift/present icon when you hack/glyph portals, and it opens to display gear. One up the experience by setting certain portals are volatile that will give out more gear (ie presents) during that time. (this could also easily be used for other holidays, with different graphics).
Just random thoughts from stuff I've seen in other games, and even mods we've made in the past for other actual PC games I've played.

Niantic: “Add friends and gifting into Ingress you say?” 🤔
Or maybe, add tinsel and snow as flair for Christmas. Optional Santa's Sleigh as an avatar purchase
Halloween, portals become jack-o-lanterns. With the option to buy a zombie avatar
I think we did have red and green XM at Christmas.
I like the thought of a ENL/RES Christmas bauble avatar rolling around. Or as you say a Jack o’ lantern for Halloween.
they should do orange xm and give us a temp halloween avatar during event xd
Anything, something, even some of the below ideas that I don't like 😁
But something new for ingress, skin, XM, items, colors, outputs, give us something different, NEW, FUN, missions, SOMETHING NIANTIC. 😊
Would have been cool to have user submitted Halloween medal, then have them voted on. Ya know, building up the community, making things kinda fun, etc.
Naaaaa, we gonna stick to this top secret government organization schtick forever.
I already have a Halloween medal. How about think more globally?
A Diwali medal could be beautiful.
And (in February) a Lunar New Year medal showing the animal of that year? Lunar (aka Chinese) New Year is celebrated in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea - and in regions with significant Asian populations, like in North America and Europe.
My office (in the U.S.) always celebrated Diwali and Chinese New Year. Pre-covid... it's something I miss. And not just for the free food, lol.
Sure, Halloween was an example, I’m all for whatever. I’d love to be exposed to other things that aren’t American and think other Americans should be as well.
Still nothing for October? Let me check other games then.
The Harry Potter: Wizards Unite forums have their events calendar up, but theirs is only for half of October currently.
I guess more is still being planned out.
I bet it will be fun things for the ninth anniversary! What rhymes with nine? Extra credit for hacking / claiming / droning a SIGN!
Surely 4.5x AP, so that when you use an AP, it’s 9x AP?
I don't play HPWU, would rather construct a replica of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry using Legos. At least there is an event on the 30th day of October.
Didn't you get the memo? The secret government schtick is so 2019. All the cool agents are doing the Vaporwave aesthetic now.
At least, that's how it seems after the Aerodyne avatar and Hyperion medal. We're Blade Runner now.
That’s fair. HPWU has had a lot of bugs lately, but they’re finally moving along the story, so that’s nice . (Remember when Ingress moved their story along? Ah, the good old days)
I do wish there was a Niantic Calendar for events, as they want to encourage you to play all their games.
Would help to see any days where multiple events are going on.
So after halloween there will be an update on Q4 :) ?
strange still no event schedule for rest of year ?
They should do the 2x for beacons, frackers and fireworks for Diwali. A bonus for lighting up the portals.
Hey guys, if you missed it, there was an announcement on this topic yesterday:
Nice event that allows an agent to deploy four mods in each portal. Is there a way for an agent to change one or two mods in a friendly portal without having to use an ADA or Jarvis Virus? What if an agent lives or moves to a remote location wherein there are not enough agents from a rival faction?
No u cant change mods once u deployed them, only way is use a virus and destroy the mod/s and then flip back again.
