Once again, as an agent it a rural area with very few other agents around within a 100 km radius, I'm going to be shut out of this event and the opportunity to participate. Maybe Niantic can find a way to get rural and remote agents a chance to be included in these anomalies.
Ingress is international game , everybody in comments crying because it is on easters day, why the hell!!! when you have the possibility to attend them for the next 2 schedules.
Deploy 10 battle beacons, wait until the competition phase starts (For Rare, it's 10 minutes before it starts), then deploy at least once on each portal. Done.
I used my free ones and they both counted. I was gonna buy an 8 pack now and finish up, but there's too many greens around, one of took down my lv7 portal with fresh cooldown and extensions on and then fled into the night. Lost my lv7 post beacon frack. Total **** move. I'll do them tomorrow morning. Then go smash the green stronghold with the earning s after!🤣
I ended up using 5 VR beacons (all counted) and 10 Rare (only counted if placed before capture/deploy). Meaning, what I experienced was that they only counted if you captured and deployed AFTER deploying BB.. Hacking/linking/repairing didn't seem to count as "interacting" after placing BB on an already captured/deployed portal.
Didn't manage to verify if shield deploy after placing BB counted.
Let's hope they still counted all the points as all portal ended up uncontested with max points. :D
it would be really cool to get at least the date (saturday or sunday) for an event that should happen in about 2 weeks. some of us have to work on weekends and need to take a day off for participation. it would be even cooler to know the locations. thx.
hopefully the cities will go out this weekend. but u can deploy your own within the time window and interact with 10 BB and get the badge even as solo player.
The following actions count as interacting with a Battle Beacon
- Deploy or Upgrade Resonator (note: upgrading your own Resonators does not count)

There are more events coming that you can participate for the same medal.
Miste bad eventet ever from Niantic. All events must be free and all agents can join. Now only pay to play the evets.
Hope Niantic never do pay event again.
Does money not exist in your backwards rural area?
@NianticThia sorry, nothing to see here
30,800 CMU for the Kythera Bundle with 10 Rare Beacons ain't cheap.
How can I participate and get the medal if my area doesn't have ornaments on portals?
How do I even know where the areas are?
This events are always difficult to work out!😅
In phase 2 and 3, you can generate free battle beacon with portal scan meter, and get Kythera medal for free.
Bring back the days of actually having to be there :)

So.. has the event started? What do I do?!🤣

You do not have to wait anymore, actions taken during the countdown count as well. So:
- Deploy Battle Beacon
- Deploy Resonator
- Move on
u can buy 10 bbs and interact with the portals doesnt matter which ones.
The following actions count as interacting with a Battle Beacon
- Deploy or Upgrade Resonator (note: upgrading your own Resonators does not count)
- Attack or Destroy Resonator
- Destroy Portal Mod
- Destroy Link
- Recharge Resonator or Remote Recharge
I would like to know when to announce the selected cities of the second phase
This sunday, 11 agents deployed Battle Beacon at Beixiaohe park, Beijing, CHINA, gained 11 metals of kythera anomaly.
So phase 1 is still going for another 20 hours from now right? 11AM UTC on Monday. I'm gonna go get some beacons now!😅
Where do you extrapolate this information?!
Is anyone else experiencing that some (most) of the self-placed Battle Beacons, do not count towards Kythera?
I find it unacceptable that we buy these (as there are no Niantic) and they then don't even count toward the Badge.
All of my self placed Beacons have counted for me. Have you made sure to interact with the Battle Beacon afterwards, not just deploying them?

Naturally... ;)

From this post:

Yep, the interactions you need to do after you have placed the Battle Beacons are the following:
- Resonator deployment or upgrade (note: upgrading your own Resonators does not count)
- Resonator attack or destruction
- Portal Mod destruction
- Link destruction
- Resonator recharge or Remote recharge
Everything else, like just deploying the Beacons, hacking or mod deployment doesn't count.
Oh good to know. I was doing the "Deploy 10 beacons, walk back to the start, wait, build each portal during the next 9 minutes"
Doing phase 2 and 3, are you still able to get points toward the medal by deploying your own battle beacons?
Yes. Just be sure to "interact" with them in one of the ways previously mentioned.

ornaments are live, so we just need a date for beacons deployed by nia
