​​Agents,
Do you reliably get the 20% attack bonus when firing an XMP?

Starting July 13th at 12:01 AM GMT and running through July 22nd at 11:59 PM GMT we are holding a special Cassandra Neutralizer event!

Every unique Portal you neutralize will count towards your Cassandra Neutralizer medal.

The medal will have three tiers (100 Bronze, 300 Silver, 1000 Gold) based on how many unique Portals you neutralize during the event.
There will also be a new statistic that appears in your scanner to help you keep track of your progress.

Andrew Krug answered 70 questions in this month's AMA! Here are the highlights:

Anomaly
- Anomaly Rules and Format Informations are expected to be released in the next weeks, keep your eyes open!
- Each of the add-on Anomaly Events will come with its own badge

Passcodes
- #IngressPride passcodes have already been sent, while #GlyphChallenge passcodes will be sent out by next week
- The iOS Ingress scanner will not have a passcode redeeming function because of a platform limitation. Maybe this will change in Prime?

Ingress Prime
- Beta invites will start to roll out by the end of July or the beginning of August
- Andrew states that "fantastic" QoL improvements were brought to Ingress Prime, such as shorter link/field animations
- Mods won't be upgradeable in Prime either

Other
- New valid Glyphs for the Command Channel might be introduced in the future
- A new tiered medal for Operation Clear Field will be introduced
- A list of reasons for Portal Rejections will be available in OPR... soon
- If you have a pet N'Zeer, don't feed it after midnight or get it wet!

#CassandraNeutralizer

Now the games gets harder! @Lupin84 was incredibly fast on reaching the 300 neutralised portals.

​​💚💙 Agent @NikaKor reports about this awesome cross-faction Field Art in honour of the FIFA Footbal World Cup final matches! Agents gathered to create a green and blue World Cup on the Ingress Map. It's so cool to see that this sport event can even unite the two Factions in Ingress!

​​#CassandraNeutralizer

Agents are starting to report about reaching the final goal for the Cassandra Neutralizer Medal! From the Resistance, it took Agent @Mcfly13 8 hours and 57 km of cycling to get to the 1000th Unique Neutralised Portal. From the Enlightened, @BodhiDeluX needed around 2500 XMPs and a great plan to reach the magic number!
Congratulations to the Agents who are reaching this goal, they are getting more and more numerous!

The Rules and the designated areas for the Cassandra Prime Anomalies have been disclosed! Check them out at http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/07/15/operation-cassandra-anomaly-intel/

@IUENG
​​Anomaly Events Rules
The new Cassandra Prime events have been defined in every detail. Here is a simplified explanation of the challenges Agents will be facing with! We will be posting about every challenge through the next days!

Phase 1 - Cluster Battle
Measurements: 4
Duration: 1 hour
Points to split: 100

Maybe many of you will remember this classic: in 4 measurements, the two factions will have to capture the highest number of active Portals in the Anomaly Zone (highlited by an orange ornament). Volatile Portals will be selected (but not highlighted) and will become less and less frequent but more and more valuable, so make sure that your Faction decoders are trained and fit to discover them!

The 100 points at stake will be divided based on the highest scores by each faction in any of the 4 measurements and its percentage in relation with each other.

​​Anomaly Events Rules
Today is the turn of the second phase! Next up: the third phase, sampling bonus and prime challenges. Let us know if an explanation of the Add-on Events is appreciated ;)

Phase 2 - Shard Battle
Jumps: 13
Duration: 1 hour
Points to split: 100

Another classic in the history of the Anomaly Challenges! Just before the beginning of this phase, a number of Research Nodes (particularly ornamented portals, yellow for the ENL and red for the RES) will spawn on the Map, along with a number of shards. Both numbers are reported in the table at the bottom.

Shards will try to jump every 5 minutes along links between L4+ Portals to reach the research nodes of both Factions, but their behaviour follows some rules:
• Shards will not backtrack to a portal they have already been to in the previous 13 minutes (2 jumps).
• If a Shard ends on a Research Node that has been already visited by the same Shard, it won't score a point.
• If multiple Links start from the same Portal, the Shard on it may travel along whichever Link and if multiple Shards are on a Portal, they may travel along different Links.

Each time a Shard travels on a Research node, it will score a point for the relative Faction independently from the Portal ownership.
The 100 points at stake will be split based on the percentage of the total points scored by each Faction.
Fields over the Anomaly Zone will be removed in this phase. Moreover, Decoders can discover in advance the position of the Research Nodes!

#Goruck posted:

Are you earning a tiered patch in Stealth this anomaly season? If so, let us know by contacting us on Telegram or email: @RuthShepherd or ruth@goruck.com

Let me know which tier you're earning and your agent name so the Cadre will have your patch on site when it's earned.

Warning: Tiered patches are always first come/first serve, and we are running out of some of the lower tiered patches already. If you were not one of the first 100 to earn it, you will not receive a tiered patch.

1st Stealth - Traditional Grey (no need to contact us)
2nd Stealth - Bronze
3rd Stealth - Silver
4th Stealth - Gold
5th Stealth - Platinum
6th Stealth - Onyx

@IUENG
​​Anomaly Events Rules
Today we explore the third phase of an Anomaly, coming up next will be the Sampling Bonus, Prime Challenges and Add-on Events!

Phase 3 - Starburst Challenge
Measurements: 2
Duration: 1 hour
Points to split: 100

In this phase, a set of Target Portals (with yellow or red ornaments for, respectively, ENL and RES) will spawn on the Map, Agents will have the goal of creating as many link as possible which originate or land on those specific Portals.

The first measurement will happen 30 minutes after the start of the phase in a 2 minutes window; after that, all Targets will disappear and a new set of Targets (double the amount!) will be highlighted on the Map. The last Measurement will happen 60 minutes after the start of the Phase in a 2 minutes window.
Note that, if a Link connects two Targets, it will score two points.
As usual, Decoders can discover in advance the location of the Targets.

The 100 points at stake will be divided based on the highest scores by each faction in any of the 2 measurements and its percentage in relation with each other.

@IUENG
The Ingress Scanner app, the Intel Map website and the Pokémon Go App have become unresponsive to some Agents, for others it's just extremely slow on login. We are waiting for official communications by Niantic.

@IUENG
The problem seems to be solved according to Agents' Reports! Have fun on the Scanner!
