Awesome news! Thank you
who the heck are you and what did you do to Niantic
damm, I honestly love every single thing about this. About the 6th Key Locker, I assume that agents that got the 6th locker during the 5th Anniversary won't be able to get a 7th?
Thanks for the update. Can’t wait for these events!
oh and also, will buying the 6th Key Locker be permanent?
6th KEY LOCKER!!! Omfg! *dies*
🤩 Sugoooooi 🤩
Awesome! Can’t wait and thanks!
Good to know all Events for the near future!
Optima Kinetic Challenge II
It's time to put the medal the correct name finally?
Some cool stuff in here, I'll have to dust off my scanner.
One question, for those of us who already have 6 keylockers will be still be able to buy another?
What is the best way to locate official Mission Day missions? Will there be new ones or are they just pre-existing missions from previous MD events?
New medal!
6th key locker 😍 . those who have already 6 keylockers, can they buy this new one?
The people requested a schedule events and Niantic delivered. Gold star today.
For the late August meet you out there challenge, is it 888 AP for new unique portal visits (never visited previously) or unique portal visits during the event? Will the AP tiers be announced in advance?
Bronze tier: 4 KC completed / Silver tier: 16 KC completed / Gold tier: 50 KC completed
Kinetic energy distance reduced from 8km to 2km for all Programs
Yikes at the higher tiers - essentially 100 km from how the scanner calculates (which still feels off). I think the tiers should have been hinted when we were doing this initially.
@CatrpilrQueen Brian Rose had pulled a map of existing missions by the Niantic accounts listed for Second Sunday and shared the link in comment. I'll pop it here also:

As I understand it, the maximum number of key lockers an Agent can have will be 6 so if you already have a 6th locker when they were given for free then you will not be able to purchase a further one
Caveat : I may be wrong - just my understanding
Check the original post as linked above or here https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/15709/stepping-out-with-second-sunday for FAQ and a map.
Perfect 🤘♥️👌 very hyped, thanks !!!
Estou muito feliz com os novos eventos, além da postura da Niantic em avisar antes para ocorrer uma preparação dos agentes.
A calendar of events! Excellent. This is something I’ve wanted for a while. Will it continue?
50 KC or 100km, quite a distance. Thanks for the announcement and the events!
Caveat 2: Niantic Math is similar to fuzzy math
August 20th - 30th: #MeetYouOutThere Challenge
What are the tiers for this medal?
This is nuts! What happened to Niantic? O.O
August 20th - 30th: #MeetYouOutThere Challenge
Is this all time Unique Visits or for the duratuon of the event?
inb4 "You're undermining my leetness by letting others have a 6th locker without letting me get a 7th" 😂
Will we see the KC stat with the previous value before the challenge? If yes, when?
@NianticThia since the NL1331X is announced, will the digital kit for the NL finally also sold via Ingress Store?
It has been quite a while since Niantic sold the physical swag and until now agents based outside the US couldn't get the NL medal through official ways...
