Welshkid, a globally known and respected Ingress player sadly passed away after a battle with leukemia. To remember him, his player friends asked the global Ingress community to light a Beacon on Thursday December 17th at 6pm (in your local timezone, wherever you are), and send videos/screenshots to ara@undercoverdragon.co.uk

Add a pin on this map to report your participation indicating your faction and join the telegram chat for the event.

Instead of a crowdfunding, donations in his memory were requested, in particular to the Lymphoma Leukemia Myeloma Fund in the Wales. More at https://www.llmf.org.uk/donate/

Our deepest condolences to Welshkid's friends and family.

Agents reported that, in some cases, Hypercubes weren't being delivered to their inventory after purchase of the Festive Feast Bundle. Brian Rose, on the Community Forum, stated that the issue is now resolved going forward!

If you have been impacted and still haven't received your Hypercubes, we advise you to drop a comment on this Community Forum thread: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/12724/it-s-festive-fall-celebration-sale-at-the-store-discussion

@IUENG
Agent @Fordrax (Jari), member of the Enlightened Lions and Wolves of Belgium passed away last night at the age of 31.

His community remembers him as an extraordinary agent who played almost exclusively on foot. He participated in numerous events from Operations to Anomalies. He was always willing to help locally, nationally and internationally.

A beacon-lighting event has been organised by his friends at 11 UTC on Friday December 4th, the day of his funeral.

From the staff, our condolences to his family and friends.

Niantic announced the new version of Ingress Prime, v2.60.2!

In this version, a new News Feed has been added to to COMM, containing the latest updates from the Ingress Team and Niantic Project researchers. In addition, a SCAN PORTAL button has been added to Portal Details for faster access to Portal Scanning, and the upload confirmation dialog has been reduced to a toast, which doesn't require an additional tap to dismiss.

Among the fixed bugs:

• The Glyph Hack "Bonus items:" window will not flash then close any longer.
• The "Black Links" issue on some 32-bit phones was resolved.
• The Kinetic Capsule distance counter won't round up to 8.0/8km when Agents are actually at 7.9km walked.
• The Android Back button will now skip the item animation in the in-app Store.

Niantic's Brian Rose stated on the comments of this Forum Thread that the additional 500AP will be kept even after the end of Eos Protocol Phase 2 yesterday.

@IUENG
Thanks to @InvestigateXM and @aristogeiton1, here is a preview of the new additions to Ingress for those who have not received the update yet: the News tab in COMM, and the SCAN PORTAL button.

@IUENG
Players are reporting that a proper bug reporting tool has been added to the Ingress Forums!

This platform, in addition to reporting bugs, allows Agents to upvote the ones that they deem more urgent or important.
Examples: COMM jumps and Low FPS in the map screen

To avoid having duplicate or inaccurate reports, cluttering the tool or plain misusing it, BEFORE posting your bug report please read this thread carefully, then adapt your report to these indications.
You also might want to read the "Known Issues" section to avoid reporting issues that Niantic is already aware of.

Bug reporting tool: https://community.ingress.com/en/categories/report-a-bug

@IUENG

Niantic announced the introduction of a Fast Track support program to be used in the event of major spoofing incidents.

To access the Fast Track, follow the instructions on the Forum Thread linked below.

Providing false information to fast track a ticket may impact your access to the fast track program.

Agent @Tenkterra shared with us this screenshot showing the Subscription (plus Recursion) icon next to Brian Rose's in-game account.

Subscriptions may be coming really soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

@IUENG
Niantic provided the answer we were waiting for, regarding volatile portals briefly appearing in the Intel Map!

Starting now, the Scanner and Intel Map will now display Volatile Scout Controller Portals using a yellow Portal marker. These Portals will earn 3 Scout Controller Points towards the Scout Controller medal when Agents claim its Scout Controller status.

Niantic revealed that this new mechanic will allow them to "experiment with scaling Portal markers globally across the Portal Network that can provide Agents with additional information about each Portal in the future."

FAQ is available in the source Forum Thread: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/12903/volatile-scout-controller-portals

Ph. @Ishira

@IUENG
The release notes for the new Ingress Prime update, v2.61.2, were released!

In addition to the Volatile Scout Controller Portals being introduced to the game (see our previous post), the following bugs were fixed:

Portal photos should now display correctly instead of failing to load on the Portal Details screen. In the COMM News Feed, fonts and colors were adapted to the rest of COMM and, finally, Agents can now create only 1 Ingress account per email address across Google, Facebook, or Apple login methods.

💙💚 Agents of both Factions joined in the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, to create this massive XF linkstar in memory of Enlightened Agent Halbi, who recently passed away at a young age.

We join them in thanking the Agents on the ground and in expressing our condolences to Halbi's family.

@IUENG
Agents around the world are reporting Ingress to have difficulties in handling login.

The issue seem to be originating at Google, since several services are not responding such as YouTube, Meet and the Assistant network.

Hang in there, Ingress will be back soon!

EDIT: Facebook and Apple login are unaffected
