Now Krug has posted this message:

"If you were a keen observer, you may have noticed that dates and cities for Anomalies in February and April were posted on our events page. These were posted erroneously.

We are considering some of these cities and some of these dates. But it is extremely likely that there will be changes to the final schedule and cities from what was revealed today. As an unintended consequence, we received a bunch of useful feedback.

Look for a final list to be published in the near future. Official announcements will always come with a social media campaign of some sort."

Agent @MrChics, from Mexico created this infographic to explain the Aurora Glyph Challenge in a simple way!

Thank you, it's extremely useful!

Keeping Ingress Fun and Fair

We’d like to share an update on some of our recent efforts to stop and prevent cheating:

- Three Strikes Discipline Policy introduced from Pokémon GO to ensure a fun and fair gameplay experience.

- We’ve improved detection of rooted and jailbroken devices to curb bad actors from sideloading cheating apps or modified versions of our apps. As a reminder, rooted Android devices and jailbroken iOS devices are not supported in Prime.

- 22K Ingress accounts banned that were found to be supporting and participating in the illicit trade of in-game items.

Please be sure to only use the official version of the app, available via the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and the Samsung Galaxy Store.

Today, Agent boga4 (@b0ga4), will start a bicycle journey from Uzhhorod (Ukraine) to Lisbon, Cabo da Roca (Portugal). This low-cost trip will last until October 25. Without hotels, hostels, with wild camping everywhere possible!

He'll be glad to meet agents along the way and, if possible, create a link-snake linking back to the previous visited locations!
Enclosed, is the path of his incredible endeavour: if you happen to be there, go find him!

An Aurora Bundle was introduced by Niantic in the Ingress In-app Store to help Agents in the Glyph Challenge, which will start in about 4.5 hours! Be ready to glyph, Agents!

@IUENG

The Aurora glyph challenge has officially started!

@IUENG

As a lot of you are asking, the event counter is not visible for now in the scanner. We are sure that Niantic knows the problem and will correct it as soon as possible, don't be worried!

@IUENG

And here it is! Just needed to wait a bit, now go out and have fun!

@IUENG

And here is how looks like the bronze medal of the challenge!

Congratulations to @PiPrime for being the first of our followers to reach it!

@IUENG

This is the design of all the three medals of the Aurora Hack Challenge!

@IUENG

Fracker prices are raised, doubled, here a comparison before and after!

Thanks to @Eukrante and @PiPrime for the report!

@IUENG

#NewPrices #Frackers

Niantic has informed the community on the recent and future changes to the in-app store: the Team is updating which items are available on the store at what prices/quantities to make Ingress more economically sustainable and they are listening to players' feedback.

The Meetup Bundle, previously removed from the in-app store was reintroduced without Frackers (on which the team is testing new prices) and with adjusted cost.

Ingress Insights: Lighting Dynamics

Agents,

We recognize that Ingress Agents play during all times of day (or night) under all sorts of lighting conditions. Starting with Ingress Prime version 2.29.2, Ingress Prime's map, display, brightness, and contrast will be adjustable with our new Lighting Dynamics setting.

You can find the Lighting Dynamics settings under Main Menu > Settings. Agents on iOS have an additional option to set Lighting Dynamics to automatic mode, which will adjust the lighting based on your device's current brightness level.
