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!

@IUENG
Niantic announced to have fixed the issue with friendly portals attacking same-faction Agents and a series of issues with Kinetic Capsules, namely:

πŸ”ΈRare Kinetic Capsules in the C.O.R.E. Loadout have been reset to max 3 uses.
πŸ”Έ Rare Kinetic Capsules from the C.O.R.E. Loadout are no longer grouped with the Common Kinetic Capsule.
πŸ”ΈDistance tracking issues reported by some Agents who were near the 40km daily distance limit, should now be fixed.

Niantic advises to reset your scanners to see these changes.

Additionally, the UNCROSSEDSTREAMS passcode was attached to this communication.

@IUENG
Niantic is sending another survey to Agents, this time related to Ingress.

The survey's content goes by the theme of the one @IUENG published last August, asking Agents about their experience with Live events and ideas on what they'd like to see at such events, but is much more detailed and will yield more data.
The survey also includes questions about your favourite and more intense Ingress memories.

We encourage all Agents to take the time to fill this survey in, including open-ended questions, as this is direct feedback you can give to Niantic and will directly affect how Live Events are managed.

Estimated time to complete the form averages at about 20 minutes, depending on how long your answers to open-ended questions are.

The 10th Anniversary of Ingress is coming, and Agents are looking forward to participating in the celebrations!

We would like to point out this awesome initiative by the cross-faction community, spearheaded by Agent @MrChics. They are coming together to create a celebratory video with messages from Agents all over the world!

Everyone is invited to participate! How, you ask? It's very easy:

0) Watch this invitation video made by the community!
1) Create a 10/15 seconds video of yourself telling your Agent Name, location and your favourite thing about Ingress.
2) Send your video to @Ingress10AnnBot by November 5th, 2022.

We thank all of the organisers for this lovely initiative and we're looking forward to see the final outcome!
Ingress is more than a game!

We are entering the last month of our picture and video competition. The theme of this month is:

πŸ”Έ40x L8 XMPs
πŸ”Έ40x L8 Resonators
πŸ”Έ8x Hypercubes

Niantic has once again sponsored codes to give to the best players in each of the 20 choosen stats. These will be tracked by using the Agent Stats website and app.

To keep up to date, join the dedicated Telegram channel, from which you can also join the discussion group to socialise with other agents, discuss strategies and keep up-to-date with the scores during the month:

@IWWC2022

ofer2, developer for Ingress, has commented under an old Forum post regarding the high latency the game has been experiencing for quite a while now.

In their intervention, they firstly acknowledge that experiencing this latency in-game makes it much harder and unpleasant to play, they say that the development team has been working on solving this issue "for... god know how much time" and that the issue is not solvable just by having more people working to fix it.
ofer2 states that, so far, the development team has discovered at least three completely separate issues which have all contributed to the increased latency experienced by Agents - some are client-side and some are server-side - and the problem likely won't be fixed until all these issues are taken care of.
The developer has assured that the team is still working on the issue and has mentioned to have taken a meeting regarding it just yesterday but, being the cause so complex, they don't have a timeframe for when it will be solved. They apologize for the situation being difficult as it is.

Recently, the cooldown on hacks has been modified by Niantic to return to the pre-COVID values on enemy and neutral Portals and a reduced rate on same-faction Portals.
The community immediately got to work updating their tools for calculating these new cooldowns with the various combinations of Portal Mods and we would love to present to you a handy website that does just that!

This tool was created by @filecc based on an idea by @Danynad and using it is easy as 1-2-3!

1) Select the faction owning the Portal
2) Select the combination of installed mods
3) Let the application calculate the cooldown time between hacks, the maximum number of hacks before burnout and the minimum time to burnout!

The web application is available at https://filecc.github.io/cooldown-calculator-ingress/

A big thank you to @filecc and @Danynad for this useful tool!

@IUENG
