Today, Agents @juju4492 and @shooters42 met in Saint-Étienne to realize this great cross-faction fieldart in support to the Beirut population.
The design depicts a boat, reminiscent of the port of Beirut, symbolically bringing them our love and thoughts, and the iconic Libanese cedar, also appearing on their flag.
The art is still visible on the Intel map! Congratulations, Agents!

Niantic decided the following 2 temporary changes will be returning to their original values, effective in 1 week, starting Wed, Aug 26:
- Portal decay rate will return to its original 15% per day, to increase the Portal turnover rate
- Portal hack burnout will return to its original 4 hacks, and can still be increased through Multi-Hack mods if Agents want to hack the same Portal repeatedly.
Other temporary changes still remain in effect for now.
⚠️ Please stay safe while playing Ingress, keeping social distancing, wearing facemasks and respecting the guidelines from your governments.

Niantic announced the newest version of Ingress Prime: v2.54.1!
In this version, some validation is implemented for Portal Scans. The Scanner will now detect excessive darkness and lack of movement.
Niantic also stated their intention of reducing Scan encoding time in future releases. Scout Controller Onyx will also be lowered to 12,000 points.
As a measure to reduce spam on the COMM, Agents with levels 1-7 will not be able to post messages from the Intel Map, only via the Scanner App.

Niantic's Casey has made the roadmap for Wayfarer in 2020/2021 public!
- Fall 2020
• Improving Rating Display to a 4-tier performance indicator. The current traffic light indicator can be misleading (yellow actually means 'decent', not 'at risk')
• Changing the 'No more reviews available' message to be more accurate and friendly. The current one is not an error, but it looks like one.
• Introducing Image Review, which will prepare Niantic games to use the actual best picture, not just the most voted one
- Winter 2020/2021
• Rejection criteria remodeling to reduce much of the confusion reported. Criteria won't change, but hopefully it will be clearer when to reject of approve a Portal.
• Introducing Criteria page to review examples and guidelines after the criteria remodeling.
• Improving the Showcase to highlight great Wayspots and help reviewers learn by example. Submitter's codename will be displayed in the showcased Wayspot.
• Finally, Updating the Review Interface to help improve the flow. Some questions will be changed from stars-based answers to 'yes/no/unsure' answers.

Today marks 2000 days since the creation of the Sojourner Badge!
Although many Agents unfortunately lost their streak due to the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic around the world, some others managed to keep their counter going by opening the Scanner and hacking at least a Portal every day since March 5th 2015, more than 5.5 years ago!
Congratulations to every Agent reaching this incredible milestone! We'd love to hear from you in our discussion group!

Niantic has announced the newest Ingress Prime update, the new version is v2.55.1!
The main focus of this version has been the Portal Scan feature which has been made faster by reducing the file size of Scans and removing the encoding screen.
Other bugfixes involve the Keys tab shown while recharging from Portal Keys that would sometimes remain blank, Softlock and overlapping UI on Portal Nominations and the double close buttons on the Dronenet view.
Specifically for Android, a memory leak occurring when scrolling Portal Keys has been patched, and on iOS 14 beta 6 the crash on app start was fixed.
As Niantic always reminds, betas of new OS, both Android and iOS, are not officially supported.
For this update, iOS beta users may need to "allow Ingress access to iOS 14’s new Precise Location permission via the iOS Settings menu."

Fumi, employee for Niantic in Japan, wrote a very interesting article on her personal blog regarding the effort of Ingress Agents in helping with two different but equally challenging situations in our world: the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic and the massive explosion that involved the city of Beirut, Lebanon.
In the first case, Agents from Japan teamed together and are contributing to Folding@Home, a crowdsourcing network which enables scientists to know much more about this common enemy and potentially find a cure against it, but not only that! They organised initiatives for neighborhood safety, cleanup of their cities and blood donations!
In the second case, today agents from all around the world participated in the Beirut Ingress Virtual First Saturday, which had the goal of collecting donations for the Lebanese Red Cross and the International Red Cross Committee. Over 900 agents participated to the event featuring, among the other activities, an auction of swag donated by Agents and the presentation of the Red Cross activities in the city.

"We are working with the Wayfarer team to consolidate all of these into the Wayfarer product itself, which will help to further streamline the process."

Please note, questions about unreleased features and anti-cheat/abuse will likely not be answered. Also, please stick to one question only, think of us poor agents that'll have to go through every entry to pick some good questions.
From all submissions, we'll pick 10-15 questions that we'll ask Brian. The form is open for 24 hours, starting now.

When we created this channel, we decided not to post mono-faction Operations due to this channel being Cross-faction oriented, but we think this one in particular deserves a spotlight due to the incredible milestone achieved!
During Saturday night, 2 great link-stars were created in Central Europe. Resistance Agents from Germany, Austria and Slovakia, under coordination of the Czech Resistance (CZRES), executed operation Cepheus, a massive linkstar in Czechia, reaching the maximum of 8399 incoming links, but at times jumping to 8405 and possibly more, establishing the new World Record for links in a single Link-star!!
Though the record was unfortunately limited by the imposed limit on inbound links on a single portal, believed to be established server-side (the delay in responses on the Ingress Prime app is a cause of the insane amount of links created), this raises the bar over the previous record belonging to the Enlightened.
Another massive linkstar happened later that night in Berlin. A multinational team of 105 Resistance Agents created a gorgeous 8378 link-star in operation Endgame Tentacle.
We believe that all the Agents who followed the event live on the Intel Map are certainly grateful for such a great show, and we hope that this record can be crushed again soon! (Who knows? Maybe the Enlightened are already studying a way to do so... 😏)
Congratulations to all the teams involved from the @IUENG staff, and thanks to Agent @Nearh for reporting!

Niantic acknowledged the issues some Agents have in accessing the Intel map.
If you have received the suspension message when accessing the Intel Map, but not the Scanner, you have received a strike. A few Agents may have received it erroneously and Niantic is trying to restore their access to the Map.

Niantic released a presentation article regarding the new Battle Beacons feature. In addition to the gameplay details we saw during the New Zealand and Taiwan tests, we now have access to new information about obtaining and deploying the Beacons.
- Access to purchase the Battle Beacon (5,000 CMU) is restricted to Agents with at least 40M AP. Any Agent can participate in a battle.
- Battle Beacons can be deployed on almost any Portal without a Beacon already deployed. (Fireworks/Frackers will allow Battle Beacon deployment)
- A Target Portal can be inoculated prior to deploying a Battle Beacon, preventing an ADA Refactor or JARVIS Virus from being used during the battle to snipe a Checkpoint; however, the Target Portal will still reverse alignment after each Checkpoint.
