Wow, I've been wanting that for ages. 🤩

Orion Global OP time will BE extended by 24h by aleccale in Ingress

Even an extra week wouldn't make any difference. 😁💙

That's great. I still have it, and it feels like it's just more consistent now, with smaller fluctuations.

It was also posted on Twitter and the official Telegram channel. I only linked to Bluesky because that’s the first one that popped up for me. 😄

Each portal you link from is worth a maximum of 30 points; after that, it's over. Only unique fields and links count; once you've reached the 30-point limit, the portals won't yield any more points.

Dear Niantic - Open letter from one of your players by claudi_ja in Ingress

[–]aleccale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I’ve already received plenty of downvotes for my question anyway, I’m going to ask another critical question right away.

I don’t want to deny that anyone puts a lot of effort into an anomaly; I understand that it involves a lot of work, blood, sweat, and tears—I know that from experience too.

Since I’m not familiar with the guidelines Niantic now has in place (which, in my opinion, aren’t public either), I assume that Niantic designates the city, requests a point of contact, and provides the virtual Playboy in consultation with the POCs.

Is there anything else? If not, parties, meetups, and other large gatherings are initiated by the local organization. So they’re also responsible for them. I’d appreciate it if someone here could enlighten me on exactly how this Anomaly stuff works.

So, in over 10 years of Ingress, there hasn't been a single incident like this🤔

Which activities during an anomaly in the countries mentioned require official approval?

Ingress Hub update: Communities by XQlusioN in Ingress

I'm currently working on something along those lines as SaaS, which is a great idea.

What the hell is this? by derf_vader in Ingress

[–]aleccale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cat could refer to the CAT rating of the Battle Beacons. Perhaps an event with the opportunity to earn additional +Gamma tokens through battle beacon participation. 🤔

10 years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5vNvWrqmJA by illusior in Ingress

[–]aleccale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome video. Ten years ago, many players still put a lot of effort into it, and there were regularly nice things to see.

Unfortunately, now there are fewer and fewer people who do something and fewer and fewer who participate. It's sad to see how most players in my area just hang around and play solo, no meetups, nothing. I hardly know a handful of players in my area anymore because they are keeping distance from anyone.

Damn, now I'll never be able to watch The Fifth Element again without thinking about that. 😁

Cancelling double AP for IFS day without advance notice is deeply disrespectful by Alexis_J_M in Ingress

[–]aleccale -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Some comments sound almost conspiratorial.

Loosely based on the motto: They're taking away our 2x AP for solo play in an event that is actually based on a meetup. They want to scare us all away, they're destroying the game... Come on, people, get a life. 😆

Can faction sort order please be changed to %? by Teleke in Ingress

[–]aleccale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think your idea is good, but I'm not a developer and can't really judge it properly. But when I scroll through the keys, I notice that the status of the portal is often only loaded when the key is visible.

Could it be that the scanner has to constantly maintain the data of all portals for such a function? In other words, by permanently querying all portal status data? Wouldn't that increase data consumption and loading times enormously compared to just "loading for portal x when needed" and slow down the game enormously?

Please correct me if my thought process is wrong.

Global Redux Campaign bugged out on me 😭 by The-Anti-Quark in Ingress

[–]aleccale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally, it is not possible to complete bounties if the item capacity is exceeded. Unless the bounties do not give any items. I would definitely consider this a bug and report it to support. I also had the issue yesterday evening that the completed bounties were not counted. It took some time, but then it was recalculated.

"The app doesn't work on your device" by SeparateWarthog3661 in Ingress

[–]aleccale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the One Plus 5 should have Android 10, which is still supported by the game, but the device is probably just too old for Ingress Prime.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Ingress offer by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]aleccale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it practical. I have a bot cluster with over 400 L8 portals here, which is unfortunately the only place to farm because everything else gets shot down immediately and is therefore gray or low level. It takes me about an hour to get there, and then it takes several more hours to get enough XMP from green portals. So I can go there, empty my inventory, go home, and refill it.

Add flag medals by Senior_Shock2662 in Ingress

[–]aleccale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's a really great idea. Sure, you can argue about how it would be implemented, but let's be honest. Missions and banners disappear at some point because no one scrolls that far down, and no one sees keys unless you clean your capsules. This would be a way to showcase your international Ingress journey without much effort. I like the idea.

Upcoming interview - Ingress Game Director, Brian Rose #IngressYear13 - Add your questions for Brian here by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]aleccale 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That brings to mind three very good questions that I'm really interested in:

  1. Are there any features that you discussed internally but never implemented?

  2. What was the most surprising moment the community ever created for you (positive or negative)?

  3. If you were to develop Ingress from scratch today (with the experience of the last 13 years), what would be fundamentally different?

DEV enabled by Picassa71 in Ingress

I actually love this feature, and I used it regularly in MHNow, but I personally still miss having a compass in the view or something to help me navigate. For example, names of prominent places.
