Since portal nominations is available in Prime, we see a lot more pogo players opening an Ingress account just to reach level 10 BY ALL MEANS. Here in Paris, we try to reports them, but it's like to empty the ocean with a spoon.
Wouldn't it be possible to have à player validation in one to one, new player should meet irl an old player (with hight level, perhaps 14 or 16 or even, player who attended anomaly) to continue leveling up after level 2 (as it was the case with sms validation in old ingress time).
And please, dont reply me that Prime will resolve all issues when redacted will be retired, spoofers **** ingress NOW !
Whilst I can't currently play niantics latest game, being UK based, I note it has an option to predownload textures and assets, would this perhaps be something that could be ported across to prime.
I'm thinking specifically predownloading area maps and portal images, to reduce load time.
Akin to how to can specify regions in Google maps and download the static data.
Obviously links, fields, ownership etc of portals could fluctuate, so I wouldn't expect that to be feasible.
Can you please update the Progress on the redesign and new development for Missions/Banner Missions and do a little breakdown of it all?? Thank you so much
"ArmadilloLiberate" was brilliant. Do you think we might see anymore item codes hidden in any current or Future Ingress anime episodes? Or maybe even a code for a Badge for watching?
Will POI submissions added via PokemonGO be added/linked to the corresponding Ingress-Account (if that connection can be made through he Google or Facebook-Account used for authentication)? And if not, is it on the roadmap somewhere?
Here in my region we have a group of pokemongos that have organized in the Recon and are changing the location of portals to be able to generate the maximum possible number of gymnasiums, no matter if the portals will be out of place or not. Is it worth it? (Google Translator TM ... :))
Can OPR participants that pass a certain threshold (5,000 agreements? 10,000?) be given a few more tools? For example, the ability to report in game duplicates we come by while reviewing submissions/nominations. Or the ability to point out portals that should be removed like the one I saw today where a sculpture had been replaced with a new one after 5 years. Or the ability to submit title or description edits right when we see them instead of letting them go live with errors.
When there is no StreetView or Photosphere available, the default view displays the Satellite imagery. When there is 3D-Satellite View available, it prioritzes that over the default flat satellite view (or depending on zoom level). This creates problems for me and fellow agents (at least in my location, might be because of the altitude) because the Location marker of my submissions appears at a completely different place because of the distortion.
From our experience this is leading to many wrongfully rejected portal submissions. Are you aware of this issue? Would it be possible to make the flat Satellite view the default one?
1. in germany the proposing of portals is released in PoGo since a few days and it's a disaster what they are submitting. The really good suggestions fall by the wayside because in OPR we almost only have to work through scrap metal.
Please give out an official message that gives the PoGo players an overview of what is portal worthy and what is not.
And under the reason for refusal abuse there should be a possibility to freely indicate why one thinks that a submitter there abuses the OPR.
Have you guys ever thought about more way to interact with the ambient while playing, similar to geocaching experience? Instead is just hacking it 20m away from the real place, like new mods that have to be in certain place to deploy or use AR camera to find out secrets.
When can we expect to see a turnaround in the number of active agents in the game? What marketing and other efforts are being done to reduce the decline in player activity?
We in slovakia had last game event, in may 2015. it was missionday connected to persepolis bratislava anomaly. we submitted multiple missionday candidates on multiple forms, but never heart anything back from niantic. did niantic decide never to get us in slvoakia game event again ?
2nd question. during summmer we have only 2 missiondays announced. one is in belgium (with anomaly in belgium this year as well), 2nd one is prague (repeating this city after 2 years). We hoped for more announced missiondays, we like to plan travels in advance for summer.
How should we rate playgrounds that only a small neighborhood has access to?
How is the poor/good/great ratings decided? Members in a local OPR-chat openly talk about how they rate things completely opposite of other agents, yet remain in great status.
When will we be able to report nominations and edits for abuse? Having to email support through the chatbot every time I see it gets bothersome
Are there any plans for appealing a rejected portal nomination? A great number of times, legitimate portal nominations needs to be submitted several times to pass OPR. The title, description, photo and location are near identical, yet receive different results due to poor reviewing. This is especially painful when PITA portals such as mountain peaks or trail markers are rejected for no apparent reason.
To submit a portal now in Prime, you need to: Set Portal Location , take two pictures (the Portal, and the surrounding area), and then more information about the portal.
If we did that for having a portal removed, it would give the "Powers That Be" more precise information of why it's invalid and needs to be removed. This would be most helpful when the portal is no longer, was never there, is out of place, etc.
It's often difficult to convince the Reviewers that the portal is really is invalid, and we don't have a way to prove of why it should be removed.

Will there be a place to send suggestions to improve ingress?
Example: add a sort by portal health? (Next to distance and name)
Goal: Make recharging easier
Calculation:
- Own faction on top
- Portal with any reso with lowest health on top
Hello, is there any chance that one day the enl version of prime scanner will be available.
Everything in prime is blue even glyphs, burst wave, xm bar and the bubble on cursor that's depressing for enl agents.
Prime
Has/is there any thoughts on a redacted type skin for prime? Not full blown identical functionality, but even just the hud / colours being used.
OPR:
Random
Sand or stone beaches?

Why is it the "SoftBank Ultra Link" called like so on Scanner and Prime and not "SoftBank Ultra Link Amp" since it's technically a type of Link Amp?
Since the closing of G+ agents in my area have been using myingress.net
have you seen it? This forum can take some ideas from that.
What do you think of those communities?
Thanks
Hi,
Question regarding Portal Submissions/OPR:
When there is no StreetView or Photosphere available, the default view displays the Satellite imagery. When there is 3D-Satellite View available, it prioritzes that over the default flat satellite view (or depending on zoom level). This creates problems for me and fellow agents (at least in my location, might be because of the altitude) because the Location marker of my submissions appears at a completely different place because of the distortion.
From our experience this is leading to many wrongfully rejected portal submissions. Are you aware of this issue? Would it be possible to make the flat Satellite view the default one?
Hello Andrew,
Is it normal that Mission Day application take more than 2 months without any answer ?
Hello
First of all I am happy that the AMA is back.
1. in germany the proposing of portals is released in PoGo since a few days and it's a disaster what they are submitting. The really good suggestions fall by the wayside because in OPR we almost only have to work through scrap metal.
Please give out an official message that gives the PoGo players an overview of what is portal worthy and what is not.
And under the reason for refusal abuse there should be a possibility to freely indicate why one thinks that a submitter there abuses the OPR.
Thanks

Hey Andrew, welcome back :)
When will we know what events are coming for the end of 2019/early 2020? Also will Norwich get an anomaly? ;)
Can Niantic provide some sort of affordable First Saturday swag to be used for participants, and/or specific awards?
What do you say about the Busgress Event at the Chicago Anomaly?
What are Niantics (or your) thoughts on limiting Edits to higher level agents only?
Could we please keep the recruiter badge and have our own personalized link that we can share more easily with friends and family? 💚💙❤️
Could we have a specific forum category for fan-creations (like swag, fan-fiction, etcpp)?
(and in general, how much of the feedback on the Community-Page has been implemented yet / will be implemented in the future?)
Hola Andrew. mi pregunta o duda sería, cuando podría ser liberada. la solución para que las cuentas iniciadas en fb puedan dejar de tener ese error.
actualmente esta vinculada a cuenta Google. pero no me deja acceder a opr sólo a Intel Map. ya que me dice "cuenta no existente"
Hello Andrew
Why is my friend Lincexy too greedy?
Can you share anything about the mystery benefits that come from Recursing?
