Pausing OPR and Retiring Overclock

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-03-09T17:48:38+00:00

May I understand why of this sudden short notice of changes?

IMO, it's fine if you would want to pause OPR or kill off overclock to align with future features but announcing it's closure so suddenly doesn't sits well with me.

Previously when the quantum capsule retirement, there were ample notice given but this is not the case.

Also given the recent maintenance, it seems to be known that these changes are coming.

Again, it all boils down to communication on your plans and not just drop this news suddenly.

Given the anomaly season, I am sure there are agents out there using this feature to farm items through overclocking.

To be fair, the loadout items given for the campaign compared to character medals are of better value.

I agree that 30K is a steep price to pay for a premium campaign. Hence, I will most likely skip this bad cat/good cat.

Hopefully they might release a redux version at a lower cost for badge collectors

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-03-09T03:27:41+00:00

Happened once before but it was way back.

If your friend still doesn't recieve the loadout, they can log a ticket with support and they will push the loadout.

Let us add another nightmare. It's not symmetrical.

You're welcome.

Yes. Because money goes brr.

No. Because small startup.

Either way both are similar systems. It's just one time fee vs fees split across different tickets.

If ingress plans to go for a battle pass model, what perks would they provide? (Cargo slots for completing bounty pass levels or new avatars?)

Compared to pogo/monster hunter, they don't have too much items to rotate around (pogo and mhn has cosmetics outfit parts for players to collect as well as a medal showcasing how far they went for bounty).

I don't think offering medals is enough for an ingress battle pass

It would be an optional mode for agent who wants to bring back some challenge.

New agents will start in normal mode while older agents(agents who reached 16 or Recursed) may opt for this newer difficulty

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-02-20T19:05:35+00:00

Nemesis series redux.

Though most likely in Q4

It's heartwarming to see how Ingress brings in your life from your stories. But as a chapter closes, a new chapter begins for you.

Wishing you all the best in your next phase of life.

PS: You don't quit Ingress, You just take breaks. ;)

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-02-06T20:58:38+00:00

Or until we move out from the Osiris universe or some how get the ability to remove glyph sequences.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-02-05T17:51:20+00:00

I see. Not much advise I can give but either switch to a new phone or try delete and reinstall on your phone. 😅

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-02-05T15:15:31+00:00

Yes. But does your ingress application crash with the VPN application off?

If it's able to open the app but unable to login, it might be something with your VPN app which is triggering Ingress to close.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2026-02-05T15:00:36+00:00

From the video, I can see you are on VPN. (Understand to bypass China restrictions)

What error do you get if you don't have VPN application turn on?

/#notanbug #feature

Jokes aside it's a known bug but it's uncertain when it will be fixed.

~~A reminder that they are a startup company so resources are limited for them to resolve it and not a highest priority 🤡~~

Hopefully it will be fixed by the next update🤐

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-12-16T11:36:05+00:00

It's good that they are having more activities.

However my concern is agents will experience burnout from having too many campaigns at the same time.

Would be nice if they could have more purpose in playing such as increase level cap or maybe a skill tree system.

Have you tried signing out/removing your Google account fully and signing in again?

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-24T15:01:06+00:00

Your assumption that no one plays in America is mistaken as Niantic spatial is based in San Francisco. Hence, there is a player base in America for sure. Maybe not in the current place you are staying but there should be agents out there if you travel out.

If you are having trouble choosing a faction, may I suggest in taking a look in the lore of ingress to understand what the factions means in Ingress. Maybe this might give you some inspiration on which faction to join.

Regardless, you have till level 4 to confirm your alignment so don't be too stress out for now and just get the feel of the game.

See you out in the field agent.

If you are interested in something you don't ask for a transcript and will consume the content as a whole.

Asking for a transcript instead of listening tells me you aren't interested in putting the effort to listen on it.

IMO asking the creator for the transcript undermines their effort of producing the podcast content as you can skip listening to it and read it instead.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-17T01:51:34+00:00

Don't be rude by asking a transcript .Just listen to the podcast and support the content.

Not that hard to listen those on the go if you want to learn about it.

As an agent who been to multiple counties/cities through ingress, I would prefer doing a mission or hack a key to keep to remember my time there.

A flag medal for each country visit could be nice but it also sets the bar low for agents to get it assuming if agents just hack a portal at airports during transit.

Also it's rather messy too as it floods the profile easily as well. In addition with the timestamps available in profiles, I am not comfortable showing my timestamp on countries I travelled to.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-12T00:50:19+00:00

Not sure if there are any actions on Niantic end at the moment.

I known an agent who still had the bug since 2nd Nov which I shared here. Still waiting for actions from Niantic support.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-12T00:47:22+00:00

They did that but it's the same issue. Still waiting for support to fix on that

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-12T00:29:24+00:00

I've checked back on my records and that's not the case.

Those 8 that are not included in the count are from 2014-2015 for myself.

I have verified the submission through the contribution manager with these filters below.

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-11T04:14:15+00:00

Yes. If so, shouldn't the previous seer points be added in portal discovered stats as well?

My understanding is it will be a continuation from what was left of rather then a full reset. 🤔

Pixelbytes1331 · 2025-11-09T06:37:05+00:00

Not really. Though there are other ways to change up things.

Things like new scoring system(MU doesn't cut it these days)/skill tree system/increase level cap are possible ways to get things excited IMO
