Niantic, in an effort to bring symbols of light and peace to Agents around the world, and in light of the situation in Ukraine, has re-released the Via Lux Beacon on the in-app store. 5 such Beacons are redeemable for free!

Thia, on the Ingress Forums, commented:
"There are no words to express or ease what Agents in the impacted areas might be going through. Please know that the Ingress Team, all of Niantic, and I are wishing for everyoneโ€™s safety."

A statement from Niantic:

"Everyone has a right to explore and enjoy their communities without fearing for their own safety โ€” and what is happening in Ukraine is a tragedy. Innocent people are being targeted and killed, millions of people are being displaced, and many more lives have been turned upside down by this violent invasion.

Like many others in the global community, we are heartbroken and we feel compelled to do what we can to support our players and the Ukrainian people.

Niantics are supporting charities and non-governmental organizations providing help, including United Help Ukraine, Razom Inc., Charitable Fund Voices of Children, International Rescue Committee, Norwegian Refugee Council, Sunflower of Peace, International Medical Corps and UNICEF. Together with matching contributions from Niantic, our employees have raised more than $75,000. In addition, Niantic is donating $200,000 directly to humanitarian organizations focused on supporting the people and refugees of Ukraine.

We are also reaching out to players in local communities, including to our Wayfarer Ambassadors. In Ingress, in an effort to bring symbols of light and peace to Agents around the World, we are making the Via Lux Beacon freely available for Agents who want to express their support.

We are hoping for a peaceful resolution to this senseless war and violence, and our thoughts are with Ukraine and everyone affected by this conflict."

Agents!

The Portals where Niantic will deploy Battle Beacons during Phase III of the Kureze Effect Anomaly have been highlighted on the Intel Map and in-game with a purple ornament!
Take note of their location!

@IUENG
Niantic has released the rules for the Kureze Effect Anomaly, Phase 3!

This phase will take place from March 18th @ 1100 UTC to March 21st @ 1100 UTC.


๐Ÿ”ธStarting now, ornaments are appearing on Portals which will have a Battle Beacon deployed on by NIA. Battle Beacons will appear between 1430 and 1730 local time on March 19th. Portals may host a NIA Battle Beacon more than once.
๐Ÿ”ธLike in phases 1 and 2, Agents will be able to deploy Battle Beacons of any rarity on any Portal to take part in the Event.
๐Ÿ”ธScoring remains the same as Phase 2. The sum of each Battle Checkpoint Score will be multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 or 8 based on the Battle Category (CAT-I to CAT-VI) and assigned to the relative Faction's Event Score. Score is then multiplied by 5 if the portal is in one of NIA's playzones and deployed by NIA.
๐Ÿ”ธThe final score for Phase 3 will be published within 24 hours of the Event end together with a map with score per Regional Cell.

Kureze Effect Medal
To obtain the medal, Agents need to interact with at least ten (10) Battle Beacons scored in any of the three Event Phases (Jan 23rd, Feb 19th, Mar 19th). Medal will be unlocked instantly.
An Agent Profile metric is available to monitor the progress during the Event.

๐Ÿ•Š More and more Agents are creating their messages calling for peace in Ukraine through Ingress!

Today, these two beautiful Field Arts were created, both representing a dove, the symbol of peace by definition.

On Saturday evening, two Enlightened and two Resistance Agents created the former in Ludwigsburg, Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช. At the end of the operation, Via Lux Beacons were ignited.
The latter was designed by Agent BatrachianAnura and executed in Lausanne, Switzerland ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ by Agents Radaza, loupsauvage, Grinwald and dyucca10, orchestrated by Agent dolfika.

@IUENG
Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress v2.90.1!

In this version, Agents will be able to create and share a dynamic link to the Remote View of any Portal. Furthermore, a Portal Scan meter has been added to the Portal's Details screen: if Agents create 7 Scans of a Portal in a single Septicycle, a Rare Battle Beacon will spawn on it after this period has expired.

Among the bugfixes, Keys will retain their alphabetical order if sorted by name, the FITREP screen is now only displayed once per week.
The team also appears to have resolved the issue with newly accepted Portals and Edits not appearing on the Scanner Map.

โš ๏ธ Agents are reporting that, with this version, Scout Volatile ornaments have disappeared from the Scanner and the Intel Map (again, Ed.)

Are you a media collector or simply want to look through media that has been released in Ingress? Agents have created Mediagress, which lists user-submitted media with all the details you also see in the scanner.

You can also contribute to the database! All you need is the Mediagress IITC plugin and a C.O.R.E. subscription. Once you have put the media you want to submit in a capsule, you can upload them via IITC and help out in building the most comprehensive media database there is!

You can check out Mediagress here: mediagress.net

You can also join their Telegram channel here: @Mediagress

๐Ÿ•ŠThe wave created by the Ingress Community's call for peace in Ukraine and the whole world keeps rising!

These Field Arts are being created to express the Agents' vicinity to the Ukrainian population. Hoping that this senseless war will come to an end as soon as possible.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ In the top left, a dove with an olive branch created by Enlightened Agents in Moscow, Russia: Ingress in this area has stopped working as of yesterday. Sitrep and Agents' statement.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Next, the blue dove and green olive branch created by Agents @stfn86 and @AgentOrome in Darmstadt, Germany.

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต On the bottom row, the blue dove originating from the Portal "No War" in Tokyo, Japan, inspired by the Art made in Moscow. Sitrep.
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Last but not least, the blue heart in honour of Ukraine created by Agent @Shooters42 in Saint-ร‰tienne, France, with help from Agent @NikaKor from Russia!
