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˜‰

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.

Agents have reported spotting some new Wayspots being added to Niantic's Lightship Database.

Likely (no announcement was released about this addition) in preparation for the release of NBA All-World, a new Niantic AR game, some additional Wayspots without photo or description were added to Wayfarer: these spots were selected from "Courts of the World", a web map to find Basketball courts near your location.

At the moment they have not appeared on the Ingress map, but they can already be be spotted in Pokรฉmon Go.

Niantic has posted the release notes for version 2.99.1.

This time, the update doesn't seem to contain a lot of changes, as the only point that is listed is that the bug in which the inventory has a capacity of "0" for a short time has been fixed. However, this fix may also affect other issues that have to do with synchronization problems.
