#GlobalChallenge

Agents,
We know many of you have questions on the upcoming unique hack challenge. The number being measured will be the number of different portals hacked per faction: each portal will count towards the faction's total if it is hacked by anyone from that faction, at least once during the event.
It does not affect the outcome if an Agent already hacked the portal before the event (whether or not it is a new unique portal for them individually).
Any action other than hacking (e.g. capture, deploying, etc.) will not affect the outcome of the challenge.
We’ll be posting periodic updates of the standings on our social media channels.
Thanks and good luck!

Mission Day BOLOGNA
April 7, 2019

Bologna and its wonders are difficult to describe.
You might want to cite the oldest university in the world first, or the ancient churches, the arcades, the gardens or its cuisine, with specialties that make the city refined and wild at the same time.
Immerse yourself in history by visiting its artistic and cultural heritage or enjoy its best dishes, such as mortadella, tortellini or tagliatelle.

And keep this in mind: Bologna boasts more than 800 portals in the city center alone! Have fun with us at the Mission Day: come and find out if Bologna is for you the one described by Francesco Guccini and Pier Paolo Pasolini or the one that Lucio Dalla sings about.

More news and details soon.

Andrew Krug hosted an AMA session at the Brisbane NL1331 Event!
Agent @puppy0cam contacted us providing some of the most interesting points discussed at the meeting.

In his opinion, VRLAs should be made available for hacking, at a very low drop rate.
• Andrew Krug spoke about a distance walked-based Capsule that would duplicate the items contained in it, making clear that this is only a basic concept, and nothing that Niantic put in development or planned yet.
• A "Memento Capsule" was also mentioned: a capsule in which Agents can only deposit items and store them for future memory. Still, this is only a brainstorming concept.
• Krug is willing to expand the current Vanguard program
• A "low data" mode for satellite phones is not planned, and neither is a "low graphics" mode.

#DarsanaPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!

Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events, with interesting new mechanics! We will to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points in the next few days.

Overview and Field Preparation

In this Anomaly, Agents will compete for 2 "Darsana Lenses", one for each weekend, which will benefit the winning faction in Abaddon Prime and in determining the fate of the Osiris Universe.
3x AP and an in-game Badge will be granted to anomaly participants (sent after the event).
1.5x AP will be granted to all users in the Anomaly period.

The Anomaly Zone will be ornamented in orange for the duration of the Event and will be NEUTRALIZED without changing the virus cooldown 1-2 hours before the Anomaly starts.

Links or field covering or crossing the Anomaly Zone may despawn in any moment.

Coming up next: Scoring!

@IUENG
Agent @PiPrime reported us that the ingress.com/investigate website now redirects to the /r/InvestigateIngress (https://www.reddit.com/r/InvestigateIngress/) subreddit where PAC is posting the story content.

Does this mean that Niantic is considering Reddit as their new social platform of choice?

#DarsanaPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!

Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events, with interesting new mechanics! We will to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points.

Scoring Pt.1

The Anomaly will be divided in 3 challenges running at the same time over the 3 hours of the Event. However points can be assigned by an extra Hacking Challenge and a Global Challenge.
Measurements for the 3 main challenges will happen at these times after the start of the Anomaly:
0:30, 1:00, 1:20, 1:40, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00.

Challenge 1: Capture Battle
In this challenge, the Faction controlling the most Portals in the Anomaly Zone wins. Regular portals are worth 1 point, Volatiles are worth 3 and will constantly change position over the course of the Event. The highest score for each Faction in any measurement will be their final score for the challenge. This score will be compared with the other Faction's creating scores on percent base. (100 maximum points)

@IUENG
Niantic updated the score for the Global Hacking Challenge and defined the perks for the winning faction!
The #DarsanaPrime XM Anomaly POCs of the winning Faction will be able to choose one of the following outcomes:

Energy
The Power Cube Drop rate will increase by 100%
Stasis
Double mitigation from links and XMP damage will only be at 75% of normal.
Instability
Half mitigation from links and XMP damage will be 125% of normal.
Loyalty
Opposite Faction portal hack output will decrease 50% and same Faction portal output will increase 20%.

If the POCs can’t come to a consensus, the final choice will be random, or chosen by Niantic.
