Niantic announced the new Optima Kinetic Challenge, featuring the Optima Badge you can see in the picture above!
By winning the "Resonate the World" event, the Resistance unlocked a Jarvis Virus recipe in Kinetic Capsules for all agents and it will be available from Friday, March 19th 16:00 UTC to Monday, March 29th 16:00 UTC.
(Note that the time has been revised to accommodate for Daylight Saving Time)
Additionally, a Hypercube and L8 Resonator Program will be added to Kinetic Capsules. Complete any 4 of these programs during the Event (same dates and times) to unlock the Badge!
⚠ Since in many places around the world movement is currently restricted, Niantic will hold a new challenge where this same medal can be obtained, but at a later date.
Please follow the health guidelines put in place by your local government, wear a mask and practice social distancing while playing Ingress.

An important notice was just released by Niantic.
Two visual bugs have been identified, which are related to the temporary Kinetic Capsules programs added for the Optima Challenge. Both issues DO NOT affect the actual output of the Programs.
"Issue #1: The JARVIS Program is currently displayed as ADA Refactor. Materials required are not affected, and the output will generate 1 JARVIS Virus; however, the Program title and the item is displayed incorrectly.
Issue #2: When claiming the 8 L8 Resonators Program and the 2 Hypercube Program, the Kinetic Capsule animation will display only “x1” item has been crafted. In reality, x8 L8 Resonators and x2 Hypercubes have been crafted and added to your Inventory."
Additionally, the Optima Medal will have a Silver and Gold tier added in the future second Optima Challenge.

A proverb says "All good things must come to an end".
And that's what happened today. https://ingressmosaic.com , the most used and famous site for Ingress banners has gone into retirement.
I personally have a lot of memories connected to it: my first banner, choosing which missions to do when going in a new city, preparing for anomalies, where people from all around the world are looking for mission banners, and a lot more.
A big thank you to the guys who made this a reality, and a big wish for them of a bright future!

Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.68.2!
In this version, a new message will appear in the COMM after a new Agent completes the tutorial: "xxxxx completed their Agent Training"
As far as bugfixes are concerned, the Layers button won't turn on anymore on the Portal Details and Mod Details screens, the inventory count will be displayed correctly on Capsule Management and Inventory Details if greater than 2000, and the C.O.R.E. Medal title now has a period after the letter E.
The team is still working on fixing COMM so it doesn't jump back to the oldest update when new updates come in, in addition to an iOS softlock when uploading a Portal Scan.

Earlier today, Niantic's Brian Rose addressed some issues with passcodes for the NL1331 2020 medal (in the picture) not working. The codes on the new NL1331 fleet cards can now be correctly redeemed.
Additionally, Brian reported that, after distributing all the physical merch still in stock (several waves of packs to be sold), the NL1331 2020 medal will be made available to agents via a Digital Kit in the in-app store.
In case of any further issue with your packs, the Niantic shop has a support link containing a phone number or e-mail to which send your inquiries.

Ethan Lepouttre, the famous NL-1331 van driver, directly contacted buyers of the NL-1331 Anniversary Pack which, as reported from several Agents, appear to have loadout cards missing or Character Medal codes not printed on their respective cards.
Ethan stated that a VR loadout card will be mailed by the vendor, for every purchased pack.
Additionally, in address to missing codes from Character biocards, it will be required to provide a picture of the blank cards in order for codes to be e-mailed to the buyer.
We advise that you reply to the e-mail providing the necessary details if you find that your NL-1331 Anniversary Kit is missing such codes.

Brian has opened a thread on the Community Forums where Agents can write to have their NL-1331 Meetups medal removed, after it was found to be awarded even with normal hacks.
⚠️ Please, only respond to this thread if you want your medal removed. Niantic probably runs an automatic script to remove the medal to everyone who commented under a thread no matter the content of their comment.

The IUENG staff wishes to all our followers a serene and, most importantly, healthy Easter! 🐣
We know that this period cannot be the happiest for obvious reasons, but we hope you will at least be able to spend this holiday safely with your loved ones.
Ingress Agents celebrated Easter as well! For example, a group of 11 German Agents from both factions created this awesome X-Faction field art depicting an Easter Egg! According to their SITREP, posted on the Community Forum, the design took from Wednesday until Friday to complete, and it is still visible on the Intel Map! Congratulations and Happy Easter, Agents!
