Ingress Updates [ENG]

2021-08-08 12:01:53 Second Sunday has been in full swing since midnight local time! If you complete six different old Mission Day missions from NIA today, you will get a point for your Mission Day medal.

At least that's how it's supposed to be, however due to a bug it's possible you won't get your point even if you do the six missions. Thia posted in the forum and apologized for this problem. If you are affected by this problem, please open a support ticket in which you send your agent name, a screenshot with the six completed missions and all mission infos you can share (with at least the name of one mission). You do not need to complete a 7th mission.

2021-08-06 19:07:32 With the start of Level 8 weekend, the Exclusive L8 Badges have appeared on the in-app store!

We remind you that they cost 2.500 CMU each, you can get both colors if you wish and you need to have scored at least 1.200.000 Lifetime AP (Level 8) to be able to purchase them.

2x AP on all actions is active too!

2021-08-06 14:00:03 Resistance Agent @Tenkterra, from Germany, has decided to get a tattoo to permanently impress his passion for Ingress onto his body, featuring a design by Agent @frieda67! Thanks to his reports we were able to follow the process live and, we have to say, we're impressed with the result! Congratulations, Agent!

Do you also have or plan to get an Ingress-inspired tattoo or one that was originated from an Ingress-related happening? Share your story with us in our discussion group (Which you can access by clicking the button with a speech bubble in our channel details)! We are looking forward to hearing from you!

2021-08-05 14:23:59 Brian, the senior producer for Ingress, has published a new blog post. He recalls the beginning of Ingress, when Niantic sent a special patch to the first 5000 agents who reached level 8, as well as a letter from Brian. Over time, the patch was revised and a version for both factions was made, which was given to agents along with special t-shirts during events.

The designs of the Level 8 Weekend medals resemble the designs of the patches and have found a special place in Brian's heart.

2021-08-05 11:49:46 Last night, Niantic published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.77.1!

In this new version, as previously noted, destroying a Mod will award 80 AP instead of 75 to differentiate it from other actions. Furthermore, the Events button in the Main Menu will redirect to Ingress' Events website.

As far as bug fixes are concerned, the Nominations button in the Main Menu is no longer affected by stage fright and won't randomly disappear, C.O.R.E subscription renewal will now happen on time.
The team also reports that Facebook login on the Intel Map is now functioning again.

2021-08-02 20:20:40 In light of Agents' Feedback, NianticThia reported on the Forums that the Ingress Team has decided to leave the maximum number of Keylockers per Agent at 6! The 6-pack of Keylockers remains available to everyone on the store along with the Onyx Keylocker.

The form to request the deletion of a Keylocker from your inventory (if you are planning to purchase the Onyx one, but already own 6) has been re-opened. As a reminder this is only available to C.O.R.E. Subscribers and the Onyx Keylocker must be purchased separately.
