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.

Scanner [Redacted] will be retired on Monday, September 30. Thank you to all Agents who joined the ongoing global fight for Mind Units and control of the Portal Network. Going forward, Agents can continue to access Ingress by using the Ingress Prime app.

Thanks to @FarmerJoco for the report!

@IUENG
Talking about Prime, here what Andrew told in our discussion group:

"Here's my hot take:
1) The big missing features like stat sharing and Portal edits are coming prior to Redacted as planned and promised with the feature parity goal.
2) There will be another UI refresh coming really soon too that directly addresses a lot of user feedback
3) If you say Prime sucks or doesn't work and you aren't using the latest version of Prime, download the latest and see if the issues exist. If they do, please let us know. But most of the complaints I'm still seeing are no longer issues. Even the long linking issue."

- If something doesn't work using Prime, make a post on the forum with hardware phone specifics, also screenshots or a video if possible

- Ingress version 2.31 will be the last before Redacted is retired

"And if you complained about the visual of the items and the hack output popup... Just wait. 😀"

"Let me just say this... your feedback has been invalueable. There are many changes coming directly because of your feedback. Just wait... be patient... we are listening. That's going to be very clear here very soon."

Field Test Registration links are now live through the Ingress Prime Events tab (only through version 2.30.2, at the moment)!
It looks like tickets are limited for each location, so reserve yours now!

@IUENG
For the Field Test Event, Niantic announced that you will only be able to register beforehand using the latest Ingress Prime scanner (2.30.2 or higher). Sign ups will close for all sites on Thursday, September 12 at 23:59 UTC!
See instructions to sign up in the scanner.

@IUENG
The latest version of Ingress Prime now supports Android 10, visit the Play Store and ensure your app is up-to-date to continue playing uninterrupted.

Source: https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1168999635849031681?s=19

Instead [Redacted] doesn't support Android 10, and it will neither do in the future as currently Niantic doesn't have resources to add it before 9/30. Your Ingress account may be suspended if you use [Redacted] on Android 10. If that happens, please file an appeal through the help center

Agents, it's the first saturday of the month!

This means that in many cities near you, an Ingress First Saturday Event is taking place! In case you missed it, we built a website containing all pictures of the Ingress First Saturdays from the last months and we are looking for more to add! If you have participated in an event and want to see your picture on our site, send it to @carlobolla, @GigaThunder or @GloomyQueen, or post it in our discussion group with #ingressfsmap and the name of your city!

We'll be collecting pictures until tomorrow, September 8th at 14.00 UTC!

@IUENG
Agents at Ingress First Saturdays are reporting that the counters for the Medals related to Nemesis Challenges have been removed.

A new Field Test Challenge was announced by Niantic!

Helvetica - the new threat coming from Nemesis - will soon be summoning copies of an array of Prime Artifacts from across the multiverse to our Earth.

Helvetica intends to harvest those artifacts towards some unspecified end, and claims that it is in our best interests not to interfere. But we cannot allow their plans to succeed.

The NIA is incorporating collection of these artifacts into the upcoming Field Test operation.

If Agents collectively harvest 13331 Prime Artifacts, that that will be sufficient to prevent whatever Helvetica is planning.

(We presume more details will be revealed to Field Test Participants. In any case, stay tuned!)

@IUENG
Brian Rose stated on the Community Forum that the sharing of Agent Statistics by tab-separated values was developed in collaboration with Agent Stats, so that players on Prime could upload their stats without the need for screenshots and optical recognition!

"To use Agent Stats on mobile, navigate to https://www.agent-stats.com/, tap menu, "Import," paste the copypasta from your Ingress profile into Section C, then tap "Send data"."

Thanks @TianDerHungrige!
