#NEWMEDAL

More details from the comments:

Tiffany Bloemen: "Does a upgrade count?"

Ingress: "+Tiffany Bloemen if upgrades will only count if you have NOT deployed on the slot before. If Agent A deploys on the North slot and Agent A upgrades that same North slot, it will only count as 1. If Agent B upgrades the north slot then they both get a point."

Jiang Wu: "+Ingress​ so maximum 8 unique per portal right? If I recapture it, does it count again 8 or not? Thank you :)"

Ingress: "Correct +Jiang Wu. 8 per portal. If you recapture it, you will not get points for redeploys."

Aaron Ho: "Would upgrading a resonator on a portal I've not deployed on before be counted as well?"

Ingress: "+Aaron Ho yes. That will count."

Bryant Durrell: "Does a virus give you credit for 8 captures? I don't care one way or the other, I'm just curious."

Ingress: "+Bryant Durrell no. A virus will give you 0 points."

Ten Seventeen: "Does the deploy have to be unique for all of history or just unique during the time of the event +Ingress​?"

Ingress: "+Ten Seventeen consider the portal network a clean slate. It has to be unique for the duration of the campaign only."

Matías Gomez: "+Ingress if I capture and full deploy a portal, then my friend upgrades the portal, then I upgrade, then he upgrades, etc. I get more deploys? Or doesn't count?"

Ingress: "+Matías Gómez if you fully deploy you will get 8 points. When your friend upgrades all slots they will get 8 points. If you then upgrade his you will get 0 points since you've already deployed on those slots. "

Ty3 Dy3: "So if I fully deploy on a portal I am to assume that would be 8 points?"

Ingress: "+Ty3 Dy3 correct. But if you then upgraded those same slots you wouldn't get any points from the upgrade. It's unique slots deployed OR upgraded. "

#NEWMEDAL

Ever more details from the comments:

Jeff Mikrut: "+Ingress​ what if I own the resos as of the day the campaign starts? Would upgrading those count?"

Ingress: "+Jeff Mikrut upgrading those would count."

Sean Anderson: "+Ingress​ the current count will be shown in the Agent Profile, right?"

Ingress: "+Sean Anderson at the start of the MAGNUS Builder campaign your current count will be 0."

Chris Chappel: "+Ingress Do you think you can update the original post with the most common questions here? So that people don't ask the same question without reading the comments."

Ingress: "+Chris Chappel we have someone gathering them and will make an FAQ edit soon that will not be read. /s"

Agents,
We have confirmed that Hank Johnson, Agent Kodamasmiles, and P.A. Chapeau will be attending 13MAGNUS Reawakens in Camp Navarro, CA on May 19th - 21st. Their motives are unknown at this time. Given the history of Camp Navarro, it should not come as a surprise. We have also been able to intercept images of their updated dossier cards. Be on the lookout for these three persons of interest if you plan on attending.

It's time to move! From now, the Event is active, and the Unique Resonator Slots Stat will be counting up! Remember that you will need to deploy a Resonator in 1331 unique slots to earn the Magnus Builder Medal, and if you manage to get to 3113 unique slots, you will earn the prestigious Magnus Architect Medal!

Good luck, Agents!

#Problems #MoreDetails #Magnus

Problems to see the new stat?

If you are having issues seeing the new stat, you need to deploy one resonator to see the new stat after you restart Ingress. (source: https://goo.gl/ockwZg )

Problems to see the right number on the stat?

Agents, we are aware of the delay with the MAGNUS Builder statistic in the scanner updating the amount of Resonators deployed. We've identified the issue and are working on a fix.

"There is some server lag and the resos you deployed will finally catch up. You won't loose credit for things." (source: https://goo.gl/ockwZg )

Will you wait until the end of the event to see the new badge?

The badges will be awarded as soon as the requirements are met. (source: https://goo.gl/ockwZg )

Congratulations to Bluekevin840707 for deploying 3113 resos in only 14 hours!

PAC has been able to gain access to some info regarding "Anomalous Zones", powerful variances within the Portal Network that can occasionally "erupt" with a number of real world consequences. Anomalous Zones can also impact the surrounding Portal Network in a number of ways, including the appearance of what are known as "Volatile Portals". The evidence thus far indicates that Anomalous Zones cycle through periods of activity and inactivity. The cause remains unknown.
