More clarification from Andrew Krug on the Dark XM Event starting in exactly 19 hours! On his group, he posted these points (which we shortened for brevity):
1: The baseline measurement will be taken at event start. (X)
2: Players need to capture and own X + 400,000 more Portals to unlock the Dark XM Medal.
3: X + 400,000 Portals do NOT need to be owned on April 30th. Whenever X + 400,000 happens that will unlock the medal.
4: Daily snapshots of how close to the goal the players are, will be provided (times tbd)
5: The tiers are 5km, 50km, 250km. They are bronze, silver and gold. They will count towards leveling.
6: You can achieve the gold with one link or lots of links. Distance is cumulative
7: You can start making links immediately at 10am PDT on April 25th. You do not need to wait until the threshold is achieved.
8: Portal decay will be increased but will slowly return to normal.

In the early morning, Niantic has decided to stop the rollout of Ingress Prime v2.21 due to a bug which prevents Agents from linking correctly. Fixes to this bug and improvements to be able to skip link animation will be included in v2.22!

#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. 3
Challenge 3: Artifact Collection
Certain Portals in the Anomaly Zone will be highlighted with a blue symbol for a brief period of time, and upon hack will drop a media item which is part of a set. 5 sets with 6 items each (representing coloured shapes) exist.
The Portals which become active and drop Artifacts 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 single Agent's score is the number of unique artifacts in his inventory, plus 10 points for every unique complete set in his inventory.
A Faction's score is the average of its registered and checked-in players.
This score will be compared with the other Faction's creating scores on percent base. (100 maximum points).

Niantic is aware of the issue which made photos from legacy Portals disappear. Those photos were sent by email by Agents back in Ingress' early days and Portals involved are less than 3%. We'll update you if a fix is disclosed.

First rumors from the Agents on the field have it that the decay rate for Portals during the Dark XM Event is 30% a day, which is double the normal decay rate.
Also, unknown sources state that we already have lowered the number of Neutral Portals by around 80.000 from the start of the event.
We are still looking for confirmation of both data.

IUENG has created a "live" graph to follow the Dark XM event!
It contains the current amount of portals captured over the baseline and a tendency calculated over the last 3 estimates!
Keep in mind that numbers in here are UNOFFICIAL and coming from an anonimous source, and may vary from the actual situation. The graph is updated manually when i (@carlobolla) am awake and available (i'm in UTC+2).

Unique Portal Hacks
The Faction whose Agents manage to hack the most Unique Portals in the Anomaly Zone wins. Any ornamented portal counts.

Attention, all Agents around the world,
this is a crossfaction call to the scanners. We all want the Dark XM Event medal, but we need to collaborate to unlock it.
At the time of writing this post, we have captured 23% more portals compared to the baseline. At this rate, we'd only capture 125.000 portals, 30% of the goal. But not all is lost, we can completely overturn this datum with the effort of every one of you: fight next to each other for one day 💙💚
• How? Organise with your community an operation to capture all the portals in your city, together with the other faction. If you are alone or in a remote area of the world, go out and colour your area. Each portal is relevant!
• When? The call is for the 9 pm of April 28th of your local timezone: this way we will create a wave of colour from the east to the west! You can go out before that time to capture portals inaccessible during the evening. The decay will not destroy them for several hours, don't worry about that.
• What else? Don't use XMPs. Put them in a capsule, forget about them. It is not relevant which faction is the owner, they just don't have to be neutral.
Reshare this message to all the groups you know, we will win all together!
@GigaThunder, @GloomyQueen and @carlobolla, three players, two factions, one fight
