Version π Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the Shard move animation.

• Fixed a crash reported on 16 KB devices.

I’m an ENL player, mostly solo play and surrounded by four or five pretty active RES agents. Every couple of months they roll through my area and “dog pile” my portals. Especially any lvl 6 or 7 portals (we don’t have enough to make a lvl 8). They have crazy amounts of high level bursters and ADA. After the lvl 8/mod event I had a few portals with 4 Aegis shields that were taken down with ease.

I get that it is part of the game, but is there anything I can realistically do as a solo player against a group of players determined to knock me down? How can I build better defensive positions?

I kinda don't want to upgrade this to the next level, because I love how this one looks more.

Hey Agents! Apologies for taking last weekend off, it’s been full pelt for me personally with applying for a job (I’ve got the interview Thursday so cross all fingers for me please) and general family life stuff.

Anyways, back to Ingress. In this one, I cover Operation Luna, the results from the Anomaly and look at an upcoming change to Pokémon GO/Wayfarer, as well as the guidelines for Playground Portals.

Later this evening (11:55pm BST) there will be a Peridot special with some thoughts before it closes.

I’ll also be trying to record some backup episodes on the bank holiday so that if I do need a weekend off, you’ll still get an episode and I’m also busy making plans for Episode 200.

Have a great Sunday all!

Has it been suggested before to be able to put storage capsules in a portal?

It would help the inventory problem and be a fun way to prioritize/protect certain portals. Then you could pick up and drop off capsules using your drone.

Not that Niantic would update the game at this point, but I was curious if this has ever been a thing.

Now that the medals can be grouped by category on the profile, shouldn't the default layout show all medals in chronological descending order? Why are the Anomaly Seasons medals always first?

While the rules clearly state that the Global Op final score will be based on the total amount of collected Mod Points per faction, buuut in the Campaign the current score looks like it is calculated by finished Bounties.

Which will it be in the end though?

This was probably the fastest Gold Global Op I've done since EOS Imprint I think. Took maybe like... an hour? Maybe? Anyway I was glad not to need much prep time for this one at least.

This came up from last summer. I still haven't grabbed the rest of the uniques 🤣😭

Can you guess which ride I lost my phone on?

Someone on my team just created some fields with two anchors...

Almost at the end of the fish bone, the last 5 field game less MUs than the before. No need to say that those fields where bigger and contained the other fields.

So, my question is simple: is it possible that a Field X (A B C) contained by a bigger Field Y (A B D) has more MUs?

Does anyone know if the three shard storm dates for Q4 are world wide?

Or does each date correspond to one zone (APAC, EMEA, AMER)?

PS: Thank you Niantic. The server reliability in Paris was very good :D

I played from 2015-2019 (attended anomalies on 3 continents) and then stopped playing at level 16 / 46 million xp because I didn't like the changes to the interface.

**I don't believe in mind control, so I have never made a single link.**

Stats attached.

Started up again a few days ago. Still don't like the interface, but I like the exploration aspect, so we'll see if I stick with it. Won't be making any links though. 😁

It took a while but here we are. I wanted to make the occasion little special so I aimed for exact number which was surprisingly demanding.

• Start date: 2016-07-14
• Onyx date: 2026-08-21
• Days: 3690
• Fields: 10457
• Largest field: 99292 MU
• Max time field held: 134 days
• Largest field MU x days: 287576 MU-days

Some useless averages * MU / field: 382 * MU / day: 1084

Does any of it matter? Not really, but hey it's a numbers game.

How long did it take you or are you still grinding?

The rules and strategy for this one seem s​impler than some we've had in the past:

Basically, the best strat is to p​lace single mods somewhere you can persuade or cajole ​other agents to do the same... On as many unique portals as you can...

A team of 4 agents can knock out the gold badges visiting just 42 to 56 portals.

My scanner will crash and force quit when I try to do a portal scan, any advice? Have uninstalled/reinstalled.

Which medal you like the most (regardless of the tier)?
