A new global challenge was announced by Niantic: Operation Sentinel!

Agents
will be asked to capture 4.000.000 neutral Portals in total from Friday, May 21st @ 16:00 UTC to Tuesday, June 1st @ 16:00 UTC!
• Captures are not counted uniquely, the same portal can be captured from the neutral state multiple times and they will all count towards the event.
• A new metric will be added to the Profile screen of Agents to help them monitor their progress.

The following bonuses will be active for the duration of the event:
• Drone Mark I cooldown of 60 15 minutes
• 2x AP for Resonators deployed

Our reward for completing this challenge will be a new Kinetic Capsule program which we will be able to choose by voting on a Community Forum poll from June 1st @ 19:00 UTC to June 8th @ 19:00 UTC.

Finally, the following packs will be available in the in-app store:
• Mini Builder Bundle: 10x L1 Resonators, 10x L2 Resonators, 8x L3 Resonators, 8x L4 Resonators, 5x L5 Resonators, and 5x L6 Resonators for 2500CMU
•30x Agent level Resonators for 2500CMU

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.

Niantic published the Release Notes for Ingress Prime v2.72.1, coming shortly to your devices!

The main focus of this release is the upgrade for the game to Unity 2019 LTS.

Among the fixed bugs, the Mission Waypoint description was moved so as to not block the Layers button, emoji now displays correctly in the COMM, the top crash on Android received a speculative fix and notifications on iOS have been fixed so as to not display <null> anymore and to display the correct Portal Title instead.

@IUENG
The daily update for the Operation Sentinel Global Challenge sees the Resistance lead the scoreboard!

The total number of Captured Portals is 1.139.188

@IUENG
Some hours ago, the creators of Bannergress have released v1.0.0 of their platform to the public!
Bannergress is a new community project to collect and display mission banners, created after the horrific loss of IngressMosaik.

The creators have stated on the website that the project aims at being open source, getting everyone involved and never stop developing with the help of the community.

The website is available at https://bannergress.com/ and the team also created a telegram channel where Agents can find the latest updates on this new tool

Good luck to the Bannergress team on this adventure!

@IUENG
Also today Niantic has updated the status of the Operation Sentinel Global Challenge, that sees the Resistance still lead the scoreboard!

The total number of Captured Portals is 1.983.589

@IUENG
Here is today's update on the Sentinel challenge:

The resistance is leading the challenge but the enlightened are getting closer and closer!

The total number of Captured Portals is 2,721,391.

@IUENG
The update to Operation Sentinel results for today shows us inching closer and closer to the goal of 4 million captures!

Let's go, Agents! Capture those portals!

@IUENG
We made it!

The 4M Captured Portals threshold for the Operation Sentinel Global Challenge has been reached and surpassed!

This means that Agents will be able to choose, by voting on a poll on the Community Forums, which will be the next Program added to Kinetic Capsules!

As a reminder, the poll will be online from June 1st @ 19:00 UTC to June 8th @ 19:00 UTC.

@IUENG
As with the last two years, Rainbow XM has been enabled on the Ingress Scanner to celebrate this year's Pride Month! It is suspected that this change will persist until the end of the month.

❤️💛💚💙💜

Release notes for Ingress Prime 2.73.1 were released tonight.

In this version, the team has fixed some issues regarding a crash occurring when attacking Portals, Japanese and Chinese text input and the Access level insufficient error during the initial tutorial.

The team also released some additional information about fixes in the next version, which is currently being worked on:
Agents playing on iPhone SE (2020) can circumvent pinnch-to-zoom issues by double tapping and then dragging up or down to zoom while the issue is being fixed along with the crash that can occur (on all devices) when uploading Portal Scans.

@IUENG
An open letter to Niantic has been posted by Agent @InvestigateXM on the Community Forums, regarding the main issues with the game and communication (or the lack thereof) about them.

"Alright Niantic, it’s one of those posts again, but dammit if it isn’t needed. It’s a really, really long post, so grab some snacks and get comfy. TL;DR: For the love of god, work on your Communication, and pronto."

You can read the full letter and comment with your opinion at this link.

@IUENG

Niantic added a new challenge to the Mod Madness Weekend event, started tonight.
Agents are required to deploy a total of 1.5 million MODs during the event to make the 75 AP gain for MODs destroyed a permanent addition!

@IUENG
558,000 of 1,500,000 Mods deployed for the global target!
Less than 2 days to the end!

@IUENG
1,251,985 mods deployed, the target and the end of the event are near! Agents go out and mod!

Note that the passcode in the score says "Future anomaly events predicted". Yesterday some items were 8x, today 21x, will we have a new anomaly on 21st of August?
Thanks @NikaKor for the decoding!

@IUENG
Congratulations Agents, you have done it!
