Imo the BGB-Events are a good way to participate in the Events. I have kids and can't travel to the anomalies. So please let me have the medals. I'd rather pay for the Beacon in the shop than for the travel. Nia need the money more than any hotel.
Like, are you new here? Niantic never explains tiered medals that far in advance. They average medal events gets a "details" post 2-3 days before it's released. (The week's notice we got for Comic Sans is highly unusual, and probably just because they had to postpone the event.)
That's part of the game, like it or not: If you want the gold medal, you need to be able to make good plans on short notice.
So is the Kythera Anomaly battle beacons or a live event? It's not really clear. And before anyone asks or acts like I'm stupid. I've been playing since day one. I just want information that anyone has that I don't have
While 65 AP per recharge is surely too high, 10 AP is too low for the game balance. One full deploy of a portal (8 resos) is now 200x the value for a recharge?? People will stop recharging smaller or less strategic portals (I certainly will remove most of my recharge keys). This will lead to an even whiter map ... and even less interaction.
I think a middle value (30?) would be a suitable compensation for keeping the keys, clogging the inventory with cubes and sitting down to actually recharge portals. It will also help players in more remote areas to slowly build up levels even if only a few portals are around.
Recharging was never meant to be a high AP activity. It's literally the boring maintenance. There's no "game balance" required to encourage recharging.
Yeah, no. It's crazy they can't filter out everyone who subbed for 12 months and just give them the code. They keep leaning on their community to fix their issues, or have them endure them.
i was happy as the ano was anounced...finally after nearly three yeras without ano, but what did we got another BBnomaly where dont even need to be in Munich. Oh yeah we could shuffle some shards around and can join an afterparty.
sry but thats not an ano....anos from the past where highly strategic events with different competitions like shards, clusterbattle, longest link, fielsd etc. and intel gained via decoders and goruck. recharge rooms where importenant and a nice for ppl to earn the badge without traveling onsite.
and did you remember when it was important which faction won a site, not only for the background story (do you remember that jarivs&ada are not just items to switch a color of a portal?) but it had impact on the gameplay for a few weeks. but nowadays? nothing...
people felt they had earned the victory and got the badge and done something for their faction and not just bought it.
i know as company u need to earn money...but without a community no money....
I also looked forward to anomalies and mission days again. I am all for supporting this game that I love with money, but you are doing it wrong. It is like you don't understand your player base or anomalies at all.

Well this is something else
Regarding the "24 March - 4 April: [ unidentified ]" event, after reading the descrption:
Is it this maybe: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/18721/comic-sans-link-challenge ?
It's precisely that.
What do we have to do besides linking?

26 May - 6 Jun: Eos Imprint Investigation
Any information on this?
16-17 April: Kythera Anomaly
So is this more battle beacons or anomalies?

No I'm not new, I've played since year one. I'm just wondering what's going on besides C.Sans
Alot

Good - decay = turnover turnover = activity :)
I need faster decay. RES goes out of their way to leave everything up so I can't progress. (Yeah, I know. The game is stale and boring this way.)
10 AP for charge is just too low why not leave it as it is now
Since the same conversation is being had in many threads:

Interesting stuff you got here...
A beacon party, f.k.a. "anomaly" on Easter. Links under fields. And losing a lot of those COVID bonuses. (shrugs...)
Still haven't gotten my CORE pass code, btw. That was $60 well spent.
Raise a support ticket. I got my code sent to me.
Yeah, no. It's crazy they can't filter out everyone who subbed for 12 months and just give them the code. They keep leaning on their community to fix their issues, or have them endure them.
Before it was just 10 already
Hello, I have two questions.
For Kinect Programs Reactivated in May, will Optima Badge be reactivated again? What do you think?
For Eos Imprint Investigation I think there will be instructions to let us know how to participate, right? Or does anybody know anything about this?
Thank you!
hmm no need to answer, after re-reading I understood it completely.
EOS badge and levels to it were nice. Bring on the next badge!
Oh @Niantic....
