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 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.

The last measurement is 5.477.940 global point hacks of the supposed 30.000.000 final goal points.

Following the current trend, the challenge will be lost!

Logging into Ingress using Google is currently unavailable for some users. This does not affect anyone who is already logged in. In the meantime, you may use other login methods to access your account. We'll update this thread as the situation progresses. Thanks for your patience.

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.

Ingress Updates [ENG]
#Aurora #GlyphHack #Challenge All Agents have to perform as many Glyph hacks as possible between August 15th at 5pm UTC and August 26th at 5pm UTC. Portals offer Glyph sentences that can be between one and five characters in length depending on the level…
At 5 pm UTC of tomorrow (so in less than 22 hours) the Aurora Glyph Hack Challenge will end!

The last measurement says 16,790,034 points of the 36,000,000 of the target. So, if nothing incredible happens, the event is lost.

The unsuccessful global event means a malus: from August 27th at 5 pm UTC at September 4th at 5pm UTC the output from Glyph hacking will be reduced by 33%!

@IUENG
Extremely Rare items have been in the Ingress code since many years now (source) but we spotted them on the actual Ingress Map!
Apparently, on a portal in Blacktown, Australia a Resistance Agent managed to deploy an Extremely Rare Portal Shield!

It features a red/orange color, 50 stickiness and 95 damage mitigation.

Is this a new addition to the game or just a test?

@IUENG
Unfortunately we were unable to defeat AURORA!
As a consequence, the output from Glyph hacking will be reduced by 33% from August 27th @ 17:00 UTC to September 4th @ 17:00 UTC.

Niantic wishes better fortune against our next foe, and congratulates those who were able to get their individual badges!

@IUENG
Agents, thank you for your interest in the NIA Field Test: Hexathlon, taking place worldwide on Saturday September 14, 2019. Since these are field tests of new scanner interactions, there is a chance that things will go wrong and that things may not function as expected.

At the Hexathlon events, you will have 30 minutes to hack the check-in portal to receive your instructions, then 90 minutes to compete in six individual challenges. Those who complete all six challenges will receive the in-app Hexathlon medal; those who complete the Hexathlon and place in the top 10% in their city for any challenge will receive the elite version of the in-app Hexathlon medal.

All sites will be run in local time, using the following schedule:

14:30: Check-in portal active
15:00: Check-in portal inactive
15:15: Hexathlon starts
16:45: Hexathlon ends
Afterwards: up to your local community!


You will need to register beforehand for your location. Registration information will be coming soon.
This is an individual rather than Faction-based event; there are no Faction POCs.
