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 )

@IUENG

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.

#GameMasters #ResetPortals

Agents,
Earlier this year, and as recent as last weekend, a rogue actor caused damage to a large network of Portals across New Zealand. Last week, and during the last 24 hours, we reset a number of these Portals to mitigate this damage. This operation was conducted with the support of trusted local resources across this region, and we are grateful for the help of these volunteer Agents.

NIA Gamemasters will continue to strive for fair play across the Portal Network, and whenever possible, in cases deemed appropriate, will take action to help preserve the integrity of Ingress and its Agent communities.

Thank you.

#OPR #Avaiable #NewMedal

Starting today, Operation Portal Recon (OPR) will now be available globally to any level 16 Agent!! The portal network has grown from those who helped calibrate Operation Portal Recon over the last several months. We will be monitoring what effects that new Agents evaluating Portal candidates will have on the Portal Network. In time, additional Agents will gain access to OPR when we have determined that Portal Network is not affected adversely. To access the system, go to https://opr.ingress.com/.

We want to thank all of the passionate Agents who helped us test the system and perfect the algorithms. Together, these Agents reviewed 510,000 portals, rejected 67,000, and were responsible for 63,000 new portals being created. To show our thanks, we are going to send a special Operation Portal Recon T-shirt to the top 100 contributors. We will send an email notice to the winning agents.

In addition, there will be a new in game medal that can be obtained by participating in Operation Portal Recon. It will be a tiered medal and will not affect leveling up. More details will be announced soon about this.
