A message from the Parisian Ingress Community
As many of you may already know, the Notre-Dame cathedral of Paris has been ravaged by flames earlier this week. The fire started under the spire in the evening, and by the time people noticed it was already too late. The spire fell, the roof and the wooden structure entirely burned, the towers almost collapsed. Firemen managed to restrain the fire and further extinguish it during the night. The most part of the building is safe, but some invaluable 800+ years old art is forever lost.
As art and history enthusiasts, many ingress Parisian players were deeply hurt by the loss of centuries of history and art, and although we will definitely rebuild, it will never be the same.
Notre-Dame was each year host for more than 12 million tourists, and many of you might already have visited it. We hope many of you can still do in the future.
As a gesture of commemoration, Parisian players (both ENL and RES) will be building a double starburst on Notre-Dame on Monday, April 22nd, between 8PM and 10PM (UTC+2). If you're mourning with us for this terrible event, feel free to join the initiative and create a starburst, be it on a cathedral, church, or any other place of cult or historical landmark that you cherish. Let this be a reminder that we all shall enjoy art and history while we can, because there might never be a tomorrow for these unique pieces of human craft.
If you decide to join this initiative, you can send pictures of your starburst to @Tiphainedv!

After the update to version 2.20.3 (bugfixes), Scot Frank confirms on reddit that Ingress Prime 2.21 is coming soon™️!
"I just checked and 2.21 has finished QA successfully. Next is a few more internal checks and controls then we can hopefully start 10% Android roll out this week. IOS is more variable due to Apple review times."

Abaddon Prime Shards are live at Des Moines, Iowa, USA for Niantic's test! It's going to be a proper competition lasting two hours. Rules are much like a Shard Battle, but with measurements every 20 minutes and jumps every 3/4.
@IUENG
@IUENG
Shards are jumping, points are being scored, Ornaments are changing color and Research Nodes are travelling in the playbox! Seems like the test is proceding well, let's hope it yields the expected results!
@IUENG
@IUENG
Agent @dragonballzeke reports us that the Shards test in Des Moines ended with a tie! Both Factions scored 6 points which, converted, give a score of 50 - 50!
Thank you to everyone on the ground for helping out with the test! We are sure Niantic has collected lots of data from it!

Do you think your city has what it takes to host a Niantic Live Event in 2020? If so, post your suggested city park to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #NianticLive2020 and tell us why you think it would make for a great event.
We also suggest teaming up with other players in your city, or even with local officials (Parks Departments, Tourism Boards, Local Representatives) to submit an official nomination. There’s a form on the NianticLive2020 website for those official and group submissions. Deadline for nominations is October 1, 2019.
Please note, submitting does not guarantee that Niantic will do an event in your fine city. But we’ll promise to give your nominations serious consideration!
Meet you out there,

Niantic also posted an interesting video explaining their key criteria for choosing a city to host their Events! Check it out at https://youtu.be/gBG3GtmqBfc
We also listed them here:
- Is there a big, beautiful park of 50-100+ acres? (0,2-0,4 km^2)
- Is the park centrally located?
- Do they allow festivals in the park?
- Is it in a safe area?
- Do you get a strong cell phone signal at the park?
- Is there wireless connectivity?
- Are there dates available to hold an event?
- Is the city a place that is financially accessible?
- Is the park close to hotels and public transportation?
- Does the city, including the Police Department, support the idea of an event there?
- Are there other, competing events going on during the planned event dates?
- Is there enthusiasm of the player community in that city?
- What is the density of Portals?
- Is the park in an architecturally or historically interesting area?
- Will we have the ability to load in and load out commercial vehicles and physical builds/decor?
- Can we close roads to car traffic?
- Can non-players still use the park while we host our event?
- Is there parking available?
- What is the typical weather for the park on the dates being considered?

#AbaddonPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events! We will try to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points in the next few days.
Overview
In this Anomaly, Agents will compete to claim final control of the Osiris Universe for their Faction. Agents of the winning Faction who received an Osiris Sequence Anomaly medal will receive the exclusive Osiris Sequence victory medal as well.
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.
No global challenge is set for this Series.
Advantages
Having won one Anomaly Series and a Darsana Lens each, here are the advantages for the two factions:
ENL|Known measurement times and portals with same ornament in ONE city of choice
RES|Hank Johnson will drop artifacts to the Resistance Agents in a city of choice
BOTH|Can command ONE neutralisation of all enemy portals in ONE city of choice (but Niantic hints this might not work...)
Faction Leaders' choices to be made public by Niantic.
Field Preparation
The Anomaly Zone will be ornamented in red for the duration of the Event, and will be neutralised 20 to 90 minutes before the Anomaly start. (Again, it may not work... Genoa 🙄)
Links or field covering or crossing the Anomaly Zone may despawn in any moment.
Coming up next: Scoring!

#AbaddonPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events! We will to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points.
Scoring Pt.1
The Anomaly will be divided in 4 challenges running at the same time over the 3 hours of the Event.
9 measurements for Capture Battle and Shard Battle will happen every 20 minutes, in 2 minutes windows around these local times (PM):
2:50, 3:10, 3:30, 3:50, 4:10, 4:30, 4:50, 5:10, 5:30
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 (highlighted in orange) 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 raw score for the challenge. 100 scoring points will be distributed between the Factions, proportional to their raw score.
Up next: Scoring pt.2
