Niantic recently attempted to push the medals in celebration of Ingress' Year 11. Agents have reported that, instead of the Paragon Medal, the Persistence Medal (Year 9 anniversary) was pushed, overwriting the one already earned by Agents.

Niantic is aware of the issue and is working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Status: 🟒 Issue fixed

Niantic Supply is holding an early Black Friday sale! If you buy at least two items from the shop the entire order will be 15% off!

If you haven't bought the Origin Series yet, this might be the best time to purchase it. You can buy the entire collection for just $204 instead of $240 and save $36 over the normal price (which is even cheaper than the 10% off that subscribers have received).

Update: Niantic Supply has now excluded the Origin kits from this sale. They are no longer affected by the 15% off and stay at full price.

You can find all the items that Niantic Supply sells here: https://nianticsupply.com/collections/all

For Ingress' 11th Anniversary, Niantic has released some new t-shirt designs which are available to purchase on Amazon!

The first design presents a small "11" Ingress logo on the front and the Paragon Medal design on the back either coloured or monochrome.

The second design presents the "11" Ingress logo covering the full front of the t-shirt.

Amazon links for each design and each Amazon store (.com, .com Premium, .jp and .de) are available on Niantic's telegram post: https://t.me/NianticOfficial/567

This Saturday is First Saturday!

Niantic is giving out items each day leading up to the event, starting with a free pack of Common Heat Sinks which can be redeemed in the store right now. We speculate that these items are not intended to be 'rare' but should rather just be used to ensure a quick turnover at First Saturday locations.

To ensure everyone's safety, this year's initiative is fully stay-at-home compatible. Participating is easy - you can submit your stats through the dedicated Telegram Bot or directly on the event's website at advent.missionday.info.

Let's join forces and keep the spirit of Christmas alive! We count on you to bring peace and joy back into the Ingress world. πŸŽ…πŸ»βœ¨

Thanks @Kathy_Jones for reporting!

After intercepting a transmission between Akira Tsubasa and Devra Bogdanovich about their newest (and potentially dangerous) experiment regarding Machina, the NIA has dug into their Archive and is re-relasing two medals!

Both the Akira Tsubasa 2017 and the Devra Bogdanovich 2017 medal bundles are now available in the scanner store alongside various items. Akira's bundle contains a few offensive items while Devra's bundle focuses on defensive ones.

Both bundles cost 30,800 CMU each (ca. 23€). It is currently unknown how long these medals will be available.

Niantic has released the details for the Operation Chronos event that starts in less than 24 hours!

From 6 December 2023, 00:00 UTC to Saturday, 6 January 2024, 00:00 UTC you'll earn Chronos points through the following actions:

πŸ”Έ1 Overclock Hack Point = 2 Chronos Points
πŸ”Έ1 Portal Capture = 1 Chronos Point
πŸ”Έ1 Mod Deploy = 1 Chronos Point

Agents meeting certain thresholds will be awarded the Chronos medal! There are two tiers with the following Chronos Point requirements:

πŸ”ΈBasic: 500 Chronos Points
πŸ”ΈAdvanced: 5000 Chronos Points

Overclock Hack Points are calculated depending on how long the successful glyph sequence of an Overclock is as well as if the Scanner successfully calibrated against the Portal. A L8 portal that was calibrated successfully against is therefore worth 40 Chronos points if all glyphs are entered correctly.

You can see how many points you'll get exactly per Overclock hack here: https://t.me/IUENG/6449

Does my device support Overclock?

Some Agents are unsure if their device supports hacking Portals via Overclock especially after the Scanning update after which a lot of phones became unsupported.

While your phone may not support scanning, the requirements for Overclock are less stringent which means that your phone could still support Overclock. To find out if your phone is supported, follow these steps:

πŸ”ΈOpen the Remote View for the NL-1331 portal with Ingress via this link and open the portal details: https://link.ingress.com/?link=https://intel.ingress.com/p/6ddfcc922c1a4fc4a2c76786a4e7bb2b.16
πŸ”ΈTap on the Overclock button to the right of the Hack button

One of two messages should now be shown:
πŸ”Έ"Device does not support Overclock": This message sadly means that your phone does not support Overclock. If you are on Android, double check if the Google Play Services for AR are installed and if not, retry the steps above
πŸ”Έ"Unable to Overclock remotely": This message means that your phone is supported! Now you just have to find a portal that has Overclock activated and start the AR hack. We will share tipps to find them in a seperate post soon.

@IUENG
With Operation Chronos coming up, Agents that haven't used it yet might be wondering how exactly Overclock works, how to find portals to Overclock and how to activate portals for Overclock themselves.

Agent a1mirr has written an excellent guide that covers all these questions and more! If you are chasing the Advanced Operation Chronos badge or if you just want to learn about Overclock, we strongly recommend you to read through this guide.

You can find the guide here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zq5nQBR2wK84bgiHj3frVVtFgdP_gbo61cME7Mdq_LM/edit?usp=sharing

@IUENG
Niantic has published a modification to the scoring criteria for the Overclock Glyph points and in extension for Operation Chronos.

As of last night, failing a Reality Calibration will now result in a 0.25x multiplier on the Overclock Glyph points, awarding only one fourth of the previously gained points.

This means that the maximum Overclock Hack points available from an unmodded L8 Portal before burnout is now 32, but it requires waiting for the cooldown in between hacks, failing the calibration for the first 3 Overclock hacks and calibrating successfully for the last hack as opposed to gaining 20 points without waiting.
The maximum Chronos Points available from Overclock hacking a Portal are, hence, 64 on an unmodded L8 Portal.

Before the update, it was possible to repeatedly fail the Calibration but still gaining 15 Overclock Glyph points for correctly entering the 5 glyphs of a L8 portal, bringing the maximum to 65 points when calibrating for the last hack before Burnout and a total of 130 Chronos points.

See the updated rules on Niantic's blog: https://ingress.com/news/2023-chronos-ops/

Agent @betadina sends us the wonderful group picture from the Ingress Mission Day in TimiΘ™oara, Romania, celebrating a day of missions amidst the vibrant cultural scene. As the European Capital of Culture this year hosts closing ceremonies with concerts and exhibitions, the city offers our dedicated agents a blend of adventure and art. And yes, above the group picture, the photos show the free swag kit that was available for all participants!

We sincerely hope you enjoyed the event and the city, and thank the organisers for bringing this event to the community!πŸ”΅πŸŸ’

πŸ”΅πŸŸ’ Almost 60 players from both factions from all over Germany, Switzerland and Austria fought a great battle for the Portals at Mission Day Lite in Bad Buchau, Germany on the 3rd December 2023 in sunny -4Β°C and lots of snow!

The brave Agents defied adverse conditions, as it snowed non-stop for the 3 days leading up to the event and rail traffic came to a complete standstill. Some portals were rendered inaccessible because the paths had been flooded, but thanks to NIA's rapid response, this could be changed just in time for all Agents to enjoy the Mission Day.

A big thank you to Agent @Beruriernoir for this picture!
