Some terrible news has reached us in the last minutes. Ingress Agent @arcole84, respected and loved by both factions has sadly passed away.
His friends remember him as always happy, wearing a smile and a good nature. Everyone who crossed is path had the chance to share a good time with him. The community loses a friend, a good man, a loving husband, father and grandfather, and sends a particularly kind thought to her inseparable speedy84 and their family.
Given the current restrictions, the Agents closest to him thought about lighting as many beacons as possible on Saturday 17th of April, 12 pm UTC. "Because even if we can't be together irl, we can reunite one last time and light up the sky in memory of our friend Alain."
We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family. May his memory be a blessing.
All the screenshot and eulogies can be sent in this chat.

An interesting thread was lately opened on the Community Forums. Agent @Hier0nimus created a fanmade community game based on Ingress Prime: the "Glyphmaster" cardgame!
Here is a brief description he provided on the Forum post.
"In Ingress Prime an agent needs to glyphhack portals to recieve items. The glyphs can have more than 130 different shapes. To learn those shapes, and so master glyphhacking, this cardgame has the objective to give agents the opportunity to learn all the different glyphs (shapes) in a fun way that can be done solo or against another agent or even against multiple agents."
Glyphmaster is completely free! Links to the download and the rules are available at https://www.glyphmastercardgame.com/
You can also leave your feedback on the game on the Forum thread (go leave a like!) or on the game's website.

The release notes for the new Ingress Prime version have been released! v2.70.1 should come to your scanner in the next few days.
In this version, the team focused on fixing the Kinetic Capsules, which now remain open to run a new Program after claiming an Item from them.
In addition, good news for Chinese Agents: the translations for capturing and losing Scout Controller status have been switched to show the correct ones.
Finally, the team is aware of an issue with the "Activities" tab in COMM, which shows the oldest update first when entering via the Map Screen preview. A temporary workaround is to fiddle with the distance slider or to enter the comm by swiping the main menu button to the right.

While trying to expand the number of Wayspots in areas with limited playable area and a lack of Wayfarer reviewers, some accepted portals missed important quality checks.
Now Niantic is working to identify and remove those portals, and would like the help from the players. If you see a portal with a title or a description with inappropriate language, has no safe access, or doesn't meet Wayfarer criteria, you can flag it to the Niantic team using this form.
⚠ The form is only for portals located in Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Thailand, Turkey
The Wayfarer team is adding more stringent quality and workflow checks to ensure that similar situations don’t occur anymore.

Many agents have experienced issues with the Agent stat tied to the Operation Sentinel Global Challenge. Niantic has advised that the issues are now resolved, and captures have been counted retroactively up to the start of the event.
Additionally, the Event Designer for this Challenge (NianticChiaki) has clarified that, initially, only the 1st and 8th Resonator deployed were entitled to receive double AP but, due to an internal communication issue all Resonators deployed have received the bonus. The 2x AP bonus will remain active for all Resonators deployed.
