A new maintenance intervention has been scheduled for 17:30 UTC and will last about 60 minutes.

Agents may experience slow response from the game or inability to log in.

We will be updating this message with new status reports.

Status: 🟢 ended

@IUENG
While maintainance is ongoing, NianticAndrew thanked all Agents for their patience with these frequent maintenance interventions. He explained that the focus of these updates is to "improve overall performance and clean up some long standing infrastructural issues".

Zero downtime was a top requirement for this maintenance, but we believe that announcements to make Agents aware were and are a good step in the right direction for communication!

Ingress Updates [ENG]
Ticketing sites have been created for the NL1331X Tour in the US, although RSVP and swag sales will open later on. Links are available at https://ingress.com/events, by clicking the marker corresponding to your chosen event. These pages also contain an overview…
Niantic announced that registration for the NL-1331X tour in the following cities...

- Sacramento
- Boise
- Dallas
- Austin
- Marfa
- Phoenix
- Murrieta

...will open at 2200 UTC on Friday, 16 July (in 3 hours)

Moreover, it was announced that some free swag will be distributed from NIA and that the classic stats competition with prizes will be held!

We have been made aware of a request from Brian Rose to NOT buy swag kits from scalpers, even if kits from Niantic are likely to sell out very quickly. More kits will be available, but it will take some additional time.

Niantic is still working out details with the Niantic Shop to have more physical Ingress merch online.

A new Avatar has been added to the game! The Aerodyne is available on the in-app store for 5000 CMU!

"While the Aerodyne shares the similar aesthetics as the recently updated Drones, much of the details of this Aerodyne are unconfirmed. We’ll continue to investigate, but if you happen to see our friend with a cool hat, let him know we’re looking for him...🎩"

@IUENG
Niantic published release notes for Ingress' new update, v2.76.1. It will reach your scanners soon!

In this version, Portal Scanning now displays hexagonal points to "provide more visual feedback during the scanning flow" (see picture), and the Aerodyne avatar by IQTech was added to the game.

As far as bug fixes are concerned, the Reassign Portal button in the tutorial now has consistent styling and passcodes which include a Portal Key won't hang the redeeming animation any longer.

The Wayfarer team has released an update on their roadmap for the next few months! This is what's coming up:

• Wayfarer Challenges for 2021 are being planned: let the team know where you think the events should travel next!
• The Wayfarer team is growing and will engage more with the community, even with more educational material and QoL updates to the Wayfarer Forum.
• The ability to see what Wayspots have already been approved during the Wayspot nomination process in Pokémon GO is being worked on. (Not all Portals are Pokéstops, so often PoGo players unknowingly submit POIs which are already in the database)
• The onboarding process will require new submitters to read the criteria before being able to submit nominations and review them. (Maybe with a test?)
The ability to appeal rejections will be introduced in the future, to improve the nomination management experience.
• The team hasn't forgotten about their promise to fix email notifications. They will be revamped in the coming months.

💚💙 It's time for a Cross-Faction Field Art!

This awesome blue and green windmill was created during the ongoing #FieldArt event and involved Agents of both factions from Santa Catarina, Brasil!

Congratulations on the awesome result!

As previously announced (link to the post), the AP gained from destroying a portal mod has been changed!

Thanks to @TashaStarlight for the screen

💚💙 Agents from both Factions in Helsinki, Finland created this beautiful Cross-Faction field art named Plan B, after they had to re-plan their drawing due to unforeseen circumstances!

Nonetheless, an impressive artwork! Congratulations!

In light of Agents' Feedback, NianticThia reported on the Forums that the Ingress Team has decided to leave the maximum number of Keylockers per Agent at 6! The 6-pack of Keylockers remains available to everyone on the store along with the Onyx Keylocker.

The form to request the deletion of a Keylocker from your inventory (if you are planning to purchase the Onyx one, but already own 6) has been re-opened. As a reminder this is only available to C.O.R.E. Subscribers and the Onyx Keylocker must be purchased separately.
