2024 Q1 ingress events - remote badge?

Hello,
the lack of a North America site for the 2024Q1 series is quite problematic, given the relative little time left to book a trip, and let's face it, the only viable option is Porto.
I'm wondering if this series will have a way to obtain its badge via remote challenges, just like Discoverie did. That will help greatly, in particular if we could get an answer soon - @NianticBrian @NianticOfficial @NianticThia can you provide some input here? thanks!

I don’t think so beyond earning it via Remote Recharging.
Unlike Discoverie with 5 phases, we only have two phases for Q1.
On XM Anomalies 2024
NIA Researchers have detected XM signals indicating Anomalies on the following dates:
So I would think it’s on site only.
I think there will be some global challenge in January and April, like there was at discoverie.
Considering the survey sent by email, I think it will be the test of anomaly medals with levels.
i hope not
why? then q1 wont have any events then
i want challenge, but not lame global anomaly challenge that give the same than anomaly without any effort like discoverie.
i would have loved a real challenging tiers for chronos. like 20 or 25k + points. for those who love not just easy tasks
there's nothing preventing you from going to an anomaly even if you have the badge already (never gone to multiple events in the same series? same thing) but having a way to obtain the badge remotely is an extra safety net in case your travel plans get disrupted (as it happened to me going to Winnipeg last year)
I think Q1 or even Q2 would not be enough time to implement this if there was a relevant number of requests. Maybe for Q3
metoo i want real fun global challenges
@Khatre @MortiisLe why not both?
Other global Anomaly locations will be announced later, probably later this month.
North America, Europe and Asia need Anomaly sites too for the upcoming Anomaly season
Last minute anomaly ? how about give agents some time to plan ahead.....
I would think this is it for Q1. Maybe we get those locations for Anomalies in Q2.
This was the schedule this time last year.
Ie MZFPK was a 'light' Anomaly series
With the Echo series in Q2 2023
What a lot of people including the Ingress team fail to recognise is that in the southern hemisphere, it is really, really, expensive to travel, as opposed to say, Europe, and the USA where air fares are actually pretty cheap.
So it is good for us heading to Adelaide that we we given almost 4 months notice, which allows us to get the cheap airfares and accommodation rates.
Soon a year since AgentOps. 😢
A year since the MZFPK Anomaly which was a very rough Agent Ops Hexathlon.
But it showed that the format was very well received by the majority of players
rough? it was a basic easy task
I think they mean the implementation was rough or a rough approximation of Hexathlons
The UI/UX was rough, not the actual event
you guys have to also wonder if another wave of sacking employees will happen
It is on my mind, along with many other gaming companies as we see the waves haven’t quite finished yet.
It depends how their other games do as well I think with MH Now and Pikmin, but they seem to still be turning good profit.
It seems licensed game IPs of well known games that are popular in Japan is the winning formula for niantic so we will see more of that in the future.
