It's finally time for the final Event of the Discoverie Anomaly!
Honolulu, Hawaii is the setting of the final battle between Enlightened and Resistance to conquer the Discoverie Series.

Best of luck to both Factions, we are eager to see who will be the winner tonight!

@IUENG

With 600 points at stake and the score standing at ENL 1327 - 1222 RES, there are a couple of combinations and targets for both factions. We have summed them up here.

If the Resistance won the Discoverie Reclaimer Challenge, they would need to score at least 279 points in Honolulu to win the series. The Enlightened would need at least 322.

If the Enlightened won the Discoverie Reclaimer Challenge, they would need to score at least 179 points to win the series. The Resistance would need at least 422.

⚠ Numbers are hard. We apologize for the confusion. Weigh in in the comments!

@IUENG

The final results have just come in!

Niantic has announced that the Resistance has won the Discoverie Reclaimer Challenge and that the winners of the #Discoverie Anomaly series, with the score of 1704 - 1572 are...

VPS activations are not possible at the moment

A lot of players have reported that trying to activate a Wayspot for VPS is not possible at the moment, instead giving out an error on Web or falsely showing that the activation started in the App.

It is currently unknown if this is a bug or a conscious decision by Niantic, however given that the problems started to appear around Friday the latter seems more likely.

To activate a Wayspot, players have to create a seperate account for the Lightship platform. That platform however is intended for developers using Niantic Lightship only and is worked on by a seperate team at Niantic than the Ingress team. It is possible (but not confirmed!) that the Lightship team was surprised by the sudden sign ups of non-developers and activation requests for VPS portals and decided to shut down VPS activations for the time being.

For agents, this means that there is currently no way to activate additional portals for Overclock. You'll have to use the existing activated portals or capture and mod more portals to finish the Chronos event.

❗️We want to remind again that the Lightship platform is intended for developers only. Using it to activate portals for Overclock is not its intended use and the Lightship team has every right to enforce this.

@IUENG

Here's what the third day of holiday celebrations has in store (get it? 😁)

#Rumor

We are receiving reports that the name of Q1 2024 Anomalies has been revealed! The name that's circulating the Ingress Community is:

Cryptic Memories

⚠ Although the sources are pretty reliable, this piece of news was not confirmed by either Niantic or by the investigation teams of Agents. For this reason we will still categorize the news as a rumor for the moment, so take this with a pinch of salt. We will advise if and when the news will be made official by Niantic.

@IUENG

The latest Wayfarer Challenge, "Aye Aye Captain", concluded yesterday. This challenge asked Agents to help reduce the backlog initially in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, but later also in Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States.

Wayfarers participated in a great number and helped surpass the Tier 4 of community rewards, which was added after players managed to reach Tier 3!

Ingress players who reviewed more than 50 Nominations will receive:
- 30x L8 Resonator
- 30x L8 XMP Burster
- 30x L8 Power Cube
- 8x Rare Shield
- 8x Rare Heat Sink
- 8x Rare Multi Hack
- 1x Rare Kinetic Capsule

All this, in addition to individual rewards for reviewing more than 100, 250 or 500 nominations - the last of these goals awarded a point on the OPR Live Badge!

Keep in mind that these rewards may take up to a week to get to you. Be patient and have faith!

Congratulations to all participating Agents in having reached such a huge goal and a big thank you for contributing to expand the Portal Network
