Niantic has published the release notes for version 2.101.3!

There has been some tweaking to readability and visibility. The main map now features ponds, oceans, and other bodies of water to make navigation easier. The base color of the map has also been changed to make it easier to see in sunlight, and the end of the visible map has been rounded off so you can't see the individual parts of the map tiles that were previously in a square.

The setting of the Lighting Dynamics have also been changed so that they now have a greater effect on the map. Niantic also mentions once again that the XM has been reset to white.

The bug fixes this time around include a crash that popped up on some Android devices, as well as an issue with iOS 16 that prevented you from using the Sony LinkBuds with Ingress as intended.

Today is the last day of the 90 second cooldown. Since Niantic has to change the cooldown manually, there is no exact time of when this will happen, but according to our information the change will happen at around 16 UTC, give or take a few.

If you need portal keys for your link planning or if you want to fill up your inventory, you should hack as much as you can today until the changeover!

After the changeover tonight, the following cooldown rules will apply:

๐Ÿ”ธThe cooldown will be set to 5 minutes for neutral portals and portals belonging to the enemy faction.
๐Ÿ”ธCooldown will be set to 180 seconds for portals belonging to your own faction.

CMU and C.O.R.E. are getting more expensive!

Blame Apple, which has raised the price tiers developers can set for in-app purchases and subscriptions. The price of CMU packages and C.O.R.E. will increase starting on October 5th for some Agents both on iPhone and Android, as Niantic will be making similar changes on other platforms as well.

Example: As Apple has removed the 5,49โ‚ฌ price tier for IAP, the price of C.O.R.E. will likely be raised to the next highest tier, 5,99โ‚ฌ. Niantic can choose to keep already existing subscribers on the old price tier, however.

Countries involved in Apple's fee increment are:

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Territories that use the Euro currency
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chile
๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ Egypt
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ Pakistan
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Poland

Some Agents are reporting receiving an e-mail from Niantic stating that an issue with past C.O.R.E. subscriptions affected their "Months Subscribed" Agent Stat, their C.O.R.E. loadout or both.
The company reports that the issue has been identified and fixed and that they are in the process of updating the accounts of affected users.

@IUENG
Niantic has given us a timeline for the previously announced experiment on C.O.R.E. Subscription Loadouts. Starting within a week, the 4 Apex it contained will be removed and replaced by 2 Kinetic Capsules, 20 Agent-Level XMP Bursters and 20 Agent-Level Resonators.

Discuss the change here: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/20292/discussion-experiment-activated-c-o-r-e-loadout-kit-content-update/

@IUENG
Brian Rose has responded to the feedback for the upcoming change to the C.O.R.E. Loadout.

In the response, Brian thanks agents for their feedback and explains that they want to tune things and experiment now that the Rare Kinetic Capsule is available, not just in regards to the C.O.R.E. Loadout, but across the game. He mentions that testing such changes in regards to global impact is difficult with a small set of players, and especially if it is a monetized feature. He also thinks that rotating the items in the C.O.R.E. Loadout from time to time may be more useful as opposed to sticking to a single loadout, and would like to hear from agents if there is a specific list of gear they'd like to see.

To recap, Niantic yesterday announced that the 4 Apex in the C.O.R.E. Loadout will be replaced with 2 Rare Kinetic Capsules as well as 20 Agent-Level XMPs and Resonators each. This change has been heavily criticised by the agents in the community, both in the forums and in our Telegram discussion group.

@IUENG
Niantic has read the feedback in the forum and on other platforms and will adjust the new C.O.R.E. Loadout.

Instead of removing all 4 Apex from the loadout, 2 Apex will now remain in the loadout. This means that there will now be 2 Kinetic Capsules and 2 Apex every month, along with the other items.

@IUENG
We are receiving reports that agents are being attacked by portals of the same faction.

Normally, when an enemy portal is hacked, it has a chance to attack the agent and remove a lot of XM from the tank.
As attacks from friendly portals have never been seen happen, it is currently unknown if this is an intentional change or, more likely, this is a bug.

Can you confirm the reports? Feel free to let us know in the comments or comment on the forum: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/20306/friendly-portal-attacks-me-when-i-hack

@IUENG
Bug or not, Niantic has turned it into a little mini-event!

Friendly portals will be able to attack you for the next approx. 72 hours! Take care of your XM tank and use Power Cubes and Hypercubes diligently to avoid running out.

Niantic has also hidden a passcode in their announcement that can help you out with that! Redeem the following passcode to get 5 Hypercubes: dpahania72

The new C.O.R.E. Loadout is now activated. When you subscribe to or renew C.O.R.E., you will now receive the following instead of 4 Apex:

- ๐Ÿ”ธ2 Apex
- ๐Ÿ”ธ2 Kinetic Capsules
- ๐Ÿ”ธ20 XMP at your level (up to L8)
- ๐Ÿ”ธ20 Resonators at your level (up to L8).

The rest of the kit remains unchanged.

Niantic's Wayfarer Team has released a survey on the Wayfarer Forum. This survey aims to collect feedback from users about the platform, their experience in using it and improvements that could be implemented.

It will gradually reach Wayfarer users via e-mail in the next 48 hours, but, if you want, you can already fill in the form at this link.

On August 16th 2022, right before the start of Superposition Phase II, we created a small survey to ask you what you would like to see at the next Anomaly Events.

We have written a report analyzing the results, and we also heard that Niantic has been informed about this data (the XMA have forwarded the report about a month ago).
As a reminder, this survey was not sanctioned by Niantic and was created out of pure curiosity from our side.

We hope you enjoy the read! If you have any question, feel free to ask us in the comments!
