Reverting Temporary Changes
Effective 30 June, maximum number of Level 7 Resonators deployed per Portal by Level 7+ Agents returns to its original 1 deploy count, down from 2 deploys per Portal.
Each quarter, we will evaluate the following temporary changes added in early 2020 to determine their impacts on gameplay while considering real world circumstances:
- Portal cooldown between hacks to be adjusted up from 90 seconds
- AP bonus for Capturing a Portal to be adjusted down to 500 AP from 675 AP (added in 2022)
Agents will be given at least two weeks' notice of planned changes made to the temporary changes above.
On First Saturday Event Style
FevGames is working on a First Saturday event proposal that will allow First Saturday organizers two event styles to choose from - onsite vs online. They are ironing out all the details and hope to announce details in the next few months.
As always, please remember to be aware of your surroundings. We encourage players to follow local health and safety guidelines when playing Ingress (such as wearing masks and maintaining at least six feet/two meters of distance from other people).

This totally take away from Munich Anomaly. Why couldn't Munich stand alone after being postponed for 2 years?
If portal hack cooldown increases from 90 seconds I will stop playing. Hacking is boring but much more so if one has to wait. 90 seconds works now so kindly don't degrade the game further Niantic.
"Each quarter, we will evaluate the following temporary changes added in early 2020 to determine their impacts on gameplay while considering real world circumstances:"
Yeah, how about applying that way of thinking to anomalies?
I know each agent in my community absolutely loves the current cooldown. I also know people who would be very much drawn away from Ingress if the change reverts. I understand the game is supposed to be majorly tactical, so a longer cooldown makes sense for planning and the like to feel like a bigger lead-up to the eventual success or failure of whatever the agent(s) were farming for. However, I think a lot of people joined Ingress during this time where the cooldown for portals has been reduced. A lot of casual players like the game as-is now, and would be encouraged to put the game down if many things are made more difficult/time consuming.
Don't get me wrong, I do feel for the agents that want things to be more of a challenge. But what's stopping them from going bigger in the future because of the current cooldown?
Ingress has changed, as all things do. Though I believe Niantic would benefit from keeping their focus on cheating, not reverting the game to keep the long time agents happy. (I bet they're mostly unhappy because of the cheaters, not the changes made as a result of the pandemic.)
So no window on Superposition to summon BBs with scan?
Nope, next coincidence is months away...
10 July: Second Sunday (#Ingress2S)
I did my 6 missions for today and did not get an increase in count. Is this a bug? I remember last July there were issues with the mission day and people getting there count increased.
Need more information what does your week stats say??
Good question.
Weekly stats:
Missions: Unique Missions Completed 6
Second Sunday Events 0
I did the 6 missions between 10:45 and noon on Sunday.
What a mess. This information is buried I the forums and this anomaly had to be one of the most poorly executed and least hyped anomalies yet.
Can we get some details on Level 8 day??? It's 3 days away - what time does it start and end?
If you haven’t seen;
