Tell us about new features that are planned in the near future in the game after turning off the old scanner? This question is of interest to many agents, thank you for the answer.
Shortly after the field covering the state of Utah was mentioned in Niantic's newsletter (which was a nice shout out, thanks for that) the whole thing, which had remained mostly intact for about three weeks was completely spoofed down. And they were really obvious spoofs. It shouldn't take more than a casual glance to confirm this and the accounts that did the deed have already been banned, So why does the process to restore spoofed fields take so long and why do spoofers suck so much?
Here there are a lot of apartment complexes with private playgrounds, which is kind of a grey area. On the one hand, they are not single residences, but on the other hand they are private residences, often with lots of signs warning off trespassers. Can we, in the interest of not encouraging rude behaviour by Agents (and by extension, those who play Those Other Games) declare such private playgrounds as off limits, much like schools are?
This is not a hypothetical, by the way: I personally avoid those portals after an encounter where the Hausmeister (translates to custodian or superintendent, I guess) threatened to call the police on a group of agents, and I have seen Pokémon raids also get yelled at.
How about adding an option of "number of non-agreements" in OPR?
Currently, we can only see the number of portals reviewed, created and rejected in OPR stats. The difference between the number of reviewed portals & created+rejected portals include both non-agreements portals (those which didn't match up with our review) as well as portals that are yet to recieve the final agreement. And this creates a confusion, like whether those are in limbo or we are reviewing wrongly. If the stats can be provided, then we can try to improve our reviewing method if we see that the number of non-agreements portals is too high. I know currently there is a performance pointer currently showing 'poor/good/great'. But that is not of much help in knowing the conditions of our reviewed portals. So please have a look on it and try to add the option in the ear future as soon as possible.
to date, the version of Prime lacks the following features (I will not list all ) and what would like to see indicate: 1. Will there be an opportunity in the game settings to adjust the quality of graphics ? 2. Will I be able to view portals with a hover function like the redacted scanner ? 3. when will be added the function of adjusting the portals ( in some versions ) ? 4. Will there be an opportunity to make a screen with statistics ?
Let's talk storage! Yes, I know inventory management is "part of the game" but right now it's not a very fun part. I think the limit is too low and that is part of the reason why some players use backpack accounts - not that I condone that, but it is hard/tedious to plan for anomalies or even First Saturday and still keep a decent number of useful items.
I'd love to hear if we might get:
1. An annual event which allows new agents to earn the sixth key locker - I get we can't have past badges and that's cool, but knowing some agents have 100 more key spaces causes me pain!
2. The chance to earn more key or item storage either in future events, or as a reward for recursion.
3. Some kind of scrapbook or special capsule for people who collect keys or media...keys could become inactive in return for not taking up storage space.
4. The ability to use keys while they are in capsules. Perhaps each capsule could have an on/off switch so you can control this?

When will we get a share button for profiles in PRIME?
I understand something is being developed to help us with IFS to generate stats, but we are seriously struggling at the moment. At GautengFS specifically, agents upload to an Agent-Stats group (via redacted) and we pull the data from their API, while all new players (or PRIME only agents) have to give us their stats manually, which is quite time consuming and buggy. In a bit more than a months time Redacted will disappear and every single attendee will have to write down their stats for manual capture.
This also affects ever developer out there that created platforms to make the game stats tracking even more fun, like agent-stats and the grid, to name a few. They put quite a bit of work into it and no one will be able to use it anymore.
Please place it on a priority list!! The FS organisers beg you! 😧
Portal reporting: Can we get additional fields like additional Photo or something into reporting false Portals? This way decisions to delete may not have to go for another round.
The guidelines state that adult oriented services such as liquor stores, adult entertainment and **** ranges should be given a 1* rating. But what about **** ranges which are oriented at people of all ages? Many kids practice **** as a hobby, similarly to playing football or baseball. It's even a competition in the Olympics. Are all **** ranges to be given a 1* rating or are there exceptions when they are not adult-oriented?
In the light of massive banning of accounts, how to you expect "good and nice players following the rules" to prove themselves innocent?
Nobody can be sure about others but I saw too many trusted friends and trusted "green enemies" being banned recently. A common pattern, they have no clue what they might have done wrong and hence do not know how prove innocence
For sure any scammers need to be removed from the game,but are we fine kicking innocent people out easily? I am currently not playing actively being sad and feeling with the innocent.
Where does the TOS draw the line regarding finding out where other agents live and sharing that kind of information to others? For example looking names from mailboxes to get an exact address? If this kind of action is not allowed, what kind of proof NIA needs to take action?
Why does it take multiple requests for missing IFS and / or other event badges to be resolved for the Scanner??? As of now, the POC's for RES and ENL for the Annapolis MD IFS have four outstanding agents who were denied our badges for this event. Did we contact our POC? Did we contact Helpdesk per the request of the POC? Did we have the Registration Portal? YES. Did we sign up on the Registration of FevGames? Yes. Did we provide ALL the paperwork requested?? Yes. POC's have been exhaustive in following up, but getting Absolutely Nowhere. I do know that this issue doesn't just sit with IFS, it happens again and again for multiple sites and events. Bit frustrated with the Helpdesk response. POC's have been amazing. Still missing my badge for IFS Annapolis, Maryland.

Has there been any consideration for an OPR reviewing event to encourage more reviewing? Perhaps something like an upgrade every 50 agreements, CMU for agreements, or an event Medal for reviewing?
Or daily rewards for people who do a small number of reviews that day? Like a daily reviewing streak medal, or rewards every 7 days of a daily review, etc.
I figured a lot of criticism regarding Prime comes from the responsiveness of the app being worse than Redacted. I personally get the impression that about 1 out of 6 touch inputs just get ignored by Prime making it feel fiddly. Since I get that same feeling with the other Niantic games as well: Is it an Unity/Niantic platform engine constraint and is there still headroom for improvement?
Sorry if my question is for twice. I dont have enought time to read everything, my daughter claims me! : P
I have started playing Ingress Prime exclusively and I admit that I miss the linking preview mode of Scanner Redacted, wich allow us to move freely around the map. Will it be in Ingress Prime any time?
Can the current, your nomination has been rejected email be changed to something more usefull please.
Currently it just gives general vague reasons why a submission is rejected.
You'd think that if a submission is getting 1* by reviews and ends up being rejected, Niantic must have the data for the number and type of 1* rejections, and instead of sending a generic "catch all" email they could send one email based on the highest 1* rejection for that submission i.e.
Your submission has been rejected with the main reason being location mismatch
Or
Your submission had been rejected with the main reason being Title / Description
Obviously it would be worded better than those examples, but it could still be a standard template email, just one for each of the 1* options, with a little paragraph at the bottom to give advice to each one e.g.dont forget titles and descriptions can not have game related names, URL, emoticons and not contain any unreveleant details to the submission or names of other companies of products.

When will se see portals in back log from Guinea Bissau Starting to emerge?
Africa need more portals 😊
For a potluck I will be attending, should I make Chili Mac or Tater Tot Casserole?

Is there a way that we can have an indicator on the Portal if it was already Captured or Hacked to help agents in gaining Explorer and Pioneer badges?

Hope you have a good holiday to recharge yourself.
Is there any thing you can tease about field test events?(Eg. plans of how frequent the event will be and activities to be done for the event)
Will there be a tier medal for participating multiple field tests events?
Can we please have a warning/confirmation dialog when recycling quantum capsules in Prime?
Why were portal edits in OPR added to the Total Portals Analyzed counter, but not towards the Approved/Rejected counter for the OPR Medal?
Could there be a portal edit medal in the future at some point to encourage the reviewing of portal edits?

Will Redacted be discontinued next month?
Will we have the reason for md cancelation in Europe ?
OPR:

Are all **** ranges to be given a 1* rating or are there exceptions when they are not adult-oriented?
If yes, what about archery ranges?
When will we have a green Prime scanner ?
I have posted an article about an OPR plugin: About OPR brainstorm (https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/1345/about-opr-brainstorm#latest). You can get an overview of this plugin through this article. What's your opinion of OPR plugin Brainstorm? Can you express a clear attitude towards this matter?
