โš ๏ธ A small (and late, my apologies) clarification: compared to Phase I, these are the changes in the scoring that will be in effect for Phase II:

- Scoring in the Impact Zone Beacon Battle will be based on the total score of all 9 windows, instead of the best window score for each Faction.
- In the Impact Zone Shard Battle, all shards captured will assign a point to the capturing Faction, regardless of how many have already been captured in a specific Target Portal

This phase, just like the first one, will be worth 520 points in total, 130 per challenge, which will be divided between the Factions.

@IUENG
The Level 8 Day Event has begun!

From now until August 9 @ 16:00 UTC, 2x AP for every action will be in effect, as well as some more bonuses. Special bundles are also available in the in-app store!

In occasion of Level 8 Day, the Enlightened and Resistance Level 8 Patches are now available for purchase on the in-app store for 2,500 CMU each!

These medals' design was inspired by the original Level 8 patch, who was given out to Agents who reached L8 in the early days of Ingress.
We made a post telling this story on Level 8 Day last year, check the post out: https://t.me/IUENG/5630

โš ๏ธ If you already purchased the medals, they will not appear on the in-app store

The hunt for Toasty is nearing its end! Our colleagues at @NotNianticLabs have now posted all locations on their Twitter page!

The meeting of two Toasty's resulted in a rift in the Toastiverse! Other Toasts have been popping up all over the planet, and your help is needed in identifying all locations. They've been divided in two groups of 8, and two Agents per group, one Enlightened and one Resistance, will be randomly picked to win a Very Rare loadout card, as long as they have correctly identified all locations!

Additionally, one lucky winner who got all of the 16 answers correct will be drawn and will receive the huge prize of one additional VR Loadout card and a 2016 Klue Medal Code!

There's still time to participate until about 2000 UTC on August 10th! It's time to move!

Niantic published the release notes for Ingress v2.97.1, and we got a much awaited new addition to the game!

Agents will now be able to opt-in to Native Refresh rate! This option will let Ingress match the native framerate of the device it's being played on, at the cost of a little more power being drawn.

The bugfixes for this version regard Adventure Sync, which can now be re-enabled, and Kinetic Capsule notifications, which now get sent when Programs are effectively completed and the output can be claimed.

SpotX Games, Niantic's "web3 innovation studio" will host a Cross-Faction Meetup in Miami on August 24th from 18:30 to 20:30 local time.

Agents will be able to meet other players and learn about the SpotX Games team at Niantic. First drinks are free for those 21+, and there will be some special Ingress surprises.

As an explanation: Web3 is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics, such as Bitcoin and NFTs.

Previous examples of SpotX Games projects include multiple scavenger hunts across cities and events that awarded NFTs and Crypto wallets.

You can register for the event here: https://lu.ma/ingressmia

Brian Rose followed up to the announcement of a Ingressร—SpotX meetup later this month in Miami.

He stated that he is fully supportive of the way the SpotX team and Chikai (SpotX Director) are approaching and interacting with the Ingress Community, since they are part of Niantic as well and they have worked together back in the Niantic@Google Labs days.
He trusts that they are listening to the Community's feedback.

He also clarified that his priorities at the moment are growing the Ingress player Base and also (most importantly, ed.) their financials, while reassuring that Live Events will still be at the core of this growth and that a lot has been learned from Superposition Munich.

To conclude, Brian has affirmed how Niantic is exploring web3, and is sure that Ingress will help SpotX understand our community and continue their work.

โ— This is not confirmation that Niantic will include Web3 technology into Ingress.

The second and last Phase of the Superposition anomaly starts on the 27th! This time, agents will once again fight over Shards and NIA Battle Beacons in 10 choosen Impact Sites, as opposed to Phase 1 which saw the return of Niantic organised anomalies and events like Goruck, NL-1331 and an after party!

As Niantic is preparing for their Q4 events, we're interested: What would you like to see at one of the next anomalies? Do you want to see the return of other scoring systems like "Longest Link Path" or "Artifact Collection" as well as add-on events like Operation Clear Field and OPR Live, or do you have your own ideas? Maybe you're even completely fine with how the past "Battle Beacon Anomalies" have been run?

Let us know and fill out the form below!

โ•This form is not sanctioned by Niantic and was created out of pure curiosity from our side. That being said, once we'll publicly share the results, we of course can't guarantee that Niantic won't take a look at it ๐Ÿ˜‰

You can fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/qDqUEh3sQwd21kjF7

Big props to @M1chaeI for the idea!
Agent @M1chaeI has created a great helper tool to use together with Bannergess, the @BannerHelperBot!

With this bot, you can either paste a mission link (both from the scanner and from intel) or a Bannergress link and the bot will keep track of which mission you are at, providing you with the mission link for the next mission so you don't accidently start the wrong one.

Check out the bot here and provide feedback to @M1chaeI: @BannerHelperBot

NianticTintino announced the first Wayfarer Challenge of 2022 on the Wayfarer Forums: the Wayfarer Criteria Challenge. This challenge will run from today, August 17th until the end of August 24th (PST).

The Wayfarer team wants to focus on the Wayfarer Criteria by clarifying the ones found most challenging by the community.

To participate, Reviewers will have to screenshot a contribution they find during reviewing which they find confusing to review and submit it to the Criteria Challenge Form (One (1) submission per person.) along with the criteria you would like explained.
The top three criteria with the most submissions will be elaborated on by the Wayfarer team! Their explanation will be published on the forums and added to the official Criteria guide.

"What's in it for me?" you ask?
All participants will receive a newly-created Wayfarer Forum badge and, if your submitted criteria is the same as the winning top three and you reviewed at least 100 nominations during the challenge period, you will receive an additional Upgrade.
