#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.

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

💚💙 What Christmas would it be without the traditional X-Faction Field Art?

Agents in Warsaw, Poland gathered to celebrate this holiday in a very Ingress-y way with not one, but two different designs which they created by intersecting links and showing how Christmas brings unity even in our communities.

Below, you can find the full SITREPs about the operations.

Once again no blog post was made available to list the changes for the update, however the changelog in the App Store mentions an update to the analytics Niantic uses to see and understand what Agents are doing in the game.

Niantic released some details on a new global challenge, part of the Cryptic Memories Anomaly Series!

The Cryptic Memories Global Op will take place from January 12th, 17:00 UTC to February 5th, 17:00 UTC.

The medal for this event will have two tiers at the following thresholds:
Bronze: 1.500 points
Silver: 15.000 points

Agents will be able to earn points by performing the following actions:
- Destroying a resonator: 1pt
- Deploying a resonator: 2pts
- Upgrading another Agent's resonator: 2pts

The Faction with the greater number of Agents achieving Bronze or Silver tiers of the medal will earn a point-based advantage in the Cryptic Memory Anomaly Series which runs from January to March.

⚠️ Note: This is a separate medal from the Cryptic Memories Anomaly Medal!
The design for the Cryptic Memories Global Op will be revealed next week.

In addition, Niantic has also announced that the rules for the Cryptic Memories Anomaly will be revealed in two weeks, together with information as to how the point-based advantage will influence the score.

Wondering what it takes to earn the Cryptic Memories Global Ops Medal?

We've done a few calculations and we are sharing them with you!

Bronze Medal - 1.500 points
- 63 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 94 full-deploys of neutral Portals

Silver Medal - 15.000 points
- 625 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 938 full-deploys of neutral Portals

It's a steep road to Silver, but we know this threshold will be reached by many 💪

🇳🇱 Ingress Mission Day Holten, The Netherlands - March 2nd, 2024

The Dutch Ingress Community is proud to invite all Agents to the second part of their Worldtimepath Mission Day in Holten, The Netherlands!

The event will take place along the Worldtimepath, which is a trail approximately 11 kilometers long. This trail takes hikers through different time periods, starting from the Ice Age and ending in the present day. Along the way, hikers can learn about the history of the area and the changes that have occurred over time. To us, it looks like an interesting and educational experience for those who enjoy hiking and history and for those interested in learning more about the region!
Details about the trail are available at this link! (in Dutch)
