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!

We are excited to introduce the newest member of the Niantic Community Team, +Dominik Schönleben! Dominik (on the left) will be taking on the role of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Community Manager. You'll be able to meet him in person if you are attending the #CassandraPrime Ingress Anomaly in Warsaw on July 28th.

We invite you to submit questions for him to get to know him better. Please post your questions in the comments of this post. After a while, we will disable comments, gather all of your questions, and answer as many as we can by updating this original post with the Q&A later today.

​​Anomaly Events Rules
Sampling Bonus and Prime Challenges: new additions to this Anomaly Series that will make the Events much more interesting! We will gather all these explanation in one big article to be released soon, watch out for that!

Sampling Bonus
Duration: the entire Event
Points to split: 50

To win the 50 points at stake, the Agents of both Factions will have the goal of hacking as many Unique Anomaly Portals (ornamented during the Event) as possible over the course of the Event. Only the Agents who had their ticket scanned at the Registration and have hacked the Registration Portal may take part in the challenge. At the end of the Anomaly, the Unique Hacks for each Agent will be tallied, but the top and the bottom 15% of the Agents for each Faction will be removed.
50 points will be split based on the percentage of the total points scored by each Faction.

Prime Challenges
These Challenges will be available only in Primary Sites on the same day as the Anomaly Event, the ticket price is 17€/20$/2500¥. Agents will be able to take part in phisically and mentally demanding tasks with the goal of bringing 50 points to the winning Faction! Keep your eyes open if you are in one of these cities!

@IUENG
#IngressPrime #beta

The Ingress Prime Beta will be open to all Anomaly attendees who registered, checked-in, and hacked the registration Portal of any Cassandra Prime XM Anomaly event and 2018 Agent Olympiad participants no later than the end of September.

#NewCommunityManager

Dominik Schönleben answered to a lot of questions in the post, let's know him more:

Dominik is the new EMEA Community Manager. He lives in Germany, and obviously speaks German but also English and can read a bit of French. He started playing Pokemon Go and enjoyed it, then his girlfriend showed him Ingress. His IGN is "nerdmeetsyou" and now he is L6. When he installed the game he chose Enlightened, but he promised to be objective and take no sides while taking decisions as a Manager.

Prior to Niantic he was a writer for WIRED Germany for four years reporting on games, geeks, and gadgets, the "three important Gs". This is how he discovered his love for augmented reality gaming. He's also written for other media outlets such as the Huffington-Post, Vice, and Focus Online. When not exploring the world playing Niantic games, he usually plays on his Nintendo Switch. He especially enjoys indie games and when he wants to disconnect from the Portal network he enjoys playing board games. His absolute favorite is Arkham Horror, the card game.

Dominik has an awesome beard, this is why some questions were on that. This is what he answered: "All beards are majestic and beautiful in their own ways. There should be no beard on beard violence. All beards are winners."

What about food? He is fructose intolerant, so doesn't eat fruit. Carbonara is his favourite italian food, but it has to be made without cream like they did in the old days in Italy. Alike Andrew Krug, he has a family secret recipe: the most delicious Italian nut cake in the world that has been passed down for generations. His Father is master pastry chef, like his Grandad, and the only thing we know about the cake is that is made with marzipan. His favourite beer is Augustiner Helles, drinks coffee and only green tea.

Dominik will not be involved in planning events but he will take all of the feedback players have and provide it to the team. Players can share their ideas, concerns, and questions with him directly, contacting him on telegram @nerdmeetsyou. He will also be involved with identifying EMEA POCs for various Ingress events. His focus initially will be on finding a way to bring new players in the community. He would be happy to consider to do an AMA if players would like it.

Do you have other questions? Take your biocard to him at the Warsaw anomaly, he wil be there to meet you all!

As already announced by the Niantic team, the 50 chosen members in Camp Navarro received an e-mail to join the Ingress Prime Beta Program.
As there is a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) signed by the players, we will not ask them to reveal details on the new Scanner App.

Niantic reminds that, starting midnight GMT, items on the ground will disappear faster to avoid server overload during the Anomalies.
