#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. 3
Challenge 3: Artifact Collection
In this challenge, the Faction with most sets of media items spawned by the Portal Network, wins.
Certain Portals, in the Anomaly Zone will be highlighted with a blue symbol, and upon hack will drop a media item which is part of a set. For example, the colour set might contain "Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green" and "Blue". Categories may vary to include Greek letters, or many others.
The location at which each artifact spawns will change constantly.
Agents are required to keep the hacked medias in their inventory for well after the Anomaly ends, to allow for counting.
A faction's raw score is the number of full sets held by its agents, and divided by the players of that faction registered at the anomaly, in base 100.

"A [...] class action lawsuit against Niantic could remove or change a number of Poké Stops and Gyms in the popular augmented reality game. (Pokémon Go, Ed.)
If it’s approved, Niantic will have to take measures to prevent placing Poké Stops or virtual game items on private property in the future. It will have to maintain a form on its website where people can ask for the removal of Poké Stops or Gyms if they are within 40 meters of their residential properties [...] and work to avoid placing new Poké Stops or Gyms on single-family residential properties going forward."
Will this influence Ingress too? What do you think?

The Resistance POCs for the #DarsanaPrime have chosen the benefits to introduce in Ingress, having won the Global Unique Hacking Challenge.
The chosen option is Loyalty: Opposite Faction portal hack output will decrease 50% and same Faction portal output will increase 20%.
We'd like to inform our readers that the decision is not yet official until Niantic's confirmation tomorrow. This is only the report of the POCs.
Unless Niantic changes its mind, the modification will regard both Factions.

Follow up
Niantic agreed to implement several new features and policies under the settlement, which will be binding for the next three years. Homeowners can already have pokémon gyms or PokéStops removed from private property, but Niantic now promises to resolve complaints within 15 days, remove any stop that’s located within 40 meters of that property, and maintain a database that will prevent a new gym or PokéStop from popping up nearby. Beyond private homes, park authorities will also be able to request that gyms and PokéStops only appear during open hours.
The company will also add a series of warnings for players. If more than 10 people show up for a raid in Pokémon Go, a message will flash on their screens, reminding them to “be courteous to others and respectful of their real-world surroundings.”[...]
We'll continue to monitor the situation to see if the same settlement will affect Ingress and it's portals too.
