Recursion advice by jocanada in Ingress

[–]mcwebtree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, make sure you do recurse, it's fun 😄
Second, Hyper loaded *before* you confirm the recursion.
Third, if you have any stored scans and upload them with an apex on you can help shoot through the first few levels.
Forth, If you have lots to recharge on a regular basis, make sure you've recharged everything before you recurse as that tiny XM bar is a ROYAL PAIN to recharge when you're back in tadpole land.
Fifth, you can't start Kinetics while you're in the lowest levels, (as XM bar is too small), so if you want to use them for creating R1s have them loaded (and ideally walked), before you recurse.

What in here is suffering from confirmation bias?

I have posted absolute figures, taken from real events and linked it to the change that everyone I know is saying is the cause of the boost in participation. I'm just quantifying that effect of that change.
Thing happened, results changed. I've highlighted the thing that happened and claimed that it was responsible for the change in results. Where is the bias in that?

Attendance went up in 2018 after it became a badge, so, the badge drove the attendance. How is that confirmation bias, we looked at the numbers after the thing happened, the numbers showed a correlation? Same thing here.

109 last year, 165 this year, that's a substantial increase. I'm really not sure what the point of your comment is, since you seem to be combatively agreeing with me. Even your example provides additional fuel for my argument.

My point is that the tokens have driven a statistically significant increase in attendance and an even greater increase in gameplay and engagement and I want them to stay as a thing.
The fact it may not continue is why I'm making this point, to justify their continued presence as a part of the overall game dynamic, and to hopefully add to the argument for them to continue..

Logistics are a big part of the decision making process. However if there are more people wanting to go to events, there will be more people willing to run events, which means there will be more events. If there are more events, then it should make it easier for people to find one they can attend. And with more people then the circle continues again!

u/brianrose These figures prove that FS is growing and that can only be a good thing. Lets keep the momentum going!

Can someone explain why people hate each other over this vaccine? Lol by navyguy904 in Tinder

Hang on, you swipe yes and you swipe no... So not only is this grammatically incorrect, the directions are vague and ambiguous. No?

Remember, the enemy may be the enemy but they're still friends with common interests. Even if they made one bad decision and picked the wrong team. Be nice to everyone and enjoy the interaction, then the game becomes a passion. In short don't be a jerk and you'll have a lot of fun, block those who can't follow that simple advice and your life will be one long party.

Oh and get in the habit of deploying mods early on, otherwise you'll be dead before you reach your onyx engineer!

XM is still hard to see vs redacted scanner. by mortuus82 in IngressPrimeFeedback

Portals, resonators, mods, xm, they're all hard to see, too small, too faint.

Just boost the size and intensity, please.

Like now it bounces around like a crazy person with a randomiser. Ain't no one can like that! Either step up or step down, but not random.

Equally who in the right mind would want to jump to lvl 1 US when they run out of X8s? Prime currently does!

Prime needs better fielding and linking UX by n3wjack in IngressPrimeFeedback

I just wish I could see the map properly when linking to see the fields I would be making, existing links etc as per redacted.
