Team Blue were well co-ordinated last night: (my hosting, but not my screenshot) I checked my phone this morning and everything was blue, which means I wouldn't be able to make any new links. Hats off to whoever sorted that, I imagine it took a poo poo ton of work to pull off  the main field was taken out about 20mins ago though, so I can pop out later and do green stuff

Deceptive Thinker posted:I miss the days when you could get black guardian from a portal that was merely "slightly" out of the way. Mine was level 7 and fully linked up and still survived another 70 days after the badges went live (on top of the 190 it already had) yup, mine got to 211 days and it wasn't even out of the way, but some link clearers came to the village I live in and zeroed everything, I was hoping for 250 days

Javid posted:I can't yet fathom needing to burn a cube to recharge. I can run down my XM bar, bike to the next portal, and be full again. Presumably that's the difference between a level 4 XM bar and an 8+ one. cubes are handy if you're attacking a portal thats not in the exact middle of a city, so if it has defences powerful enough to drain your XM during a hit, and the next nearest portal is 30 minutes walk, you need cubes to recharge and carry on.

I went green because out of the two 'teams' I preferred green, simple as that When I joined, there were no portals within 10 miles of my house, so local players didn't matter, as there weren't any Theres loads of portals now, 42 of which are my submissions, so it's more fun to play these days, even if it now means my drive to work takes longer ... but I also get out and about on my pushbike in the evenings.

Morter posted:Monroe, NC. About a half hour away from Charlotte but, granted, I'm not going to go up to Charlotte just to play the game. looks to be about 20 portals in the center area, enough to have fun with and find out if you like the game. It's mostly green there, but there are also unclaimed portals, so it might be that there aren't many players in your area, which can be good or bad depending on your playing style.

UK Players did a thing today (well, over the last two weeks really, but it finalised today ) As most of you hopefully know, it's Remembrance Sunday today, and it marks 100 years since the end of WW1 (Armistice Day is on the 11th) so one player decided that it would be a fitting tribute to blanket the UK with the Union Flag and a Poppy. I can't imagine how much work and collaboration this took, there were many, many local hangouts created and lots of travel involved - I had to let a load of stuff decay and virus a few of my own portals as one of the links passed directly though the village I live in, but this is the result: animated GIF (not mine):  IITC pic (not mine):  so glad it worked out, there appeared to have been a more than a few grumbly players upset about many things, but I guess some people would be upset by free AP ...

THEN, once it's accepted, scroll through the pics and click the 'like' icon - the pic with the most 'likes' is used as the main portal pic in intel and the scanner.

Portal submissions seem to be getting approved / denied at approx 200 days at the moment. I just had one go live that I submitted 206 days ago, back in August 2014, I've had a load this week approved (and denied :/ ) from between 195 and 220 days ago.

Qu Appelle posted:Penis, Metallica, litterbox, bowtie pasta side bucket, bucket, other side bucket, van halen, eight o'clock I try and try to remember them all, but I appear to be missing the 'glyphing gene' and I haven't even got enough points for the first medal yet. I pretty much play solo too, and play just to visit new places, either when I'm out and about with work, or cycling locally. I'm hardly fit, but I have definitely lost a few pounds with the extra cycling and walking the game has helped me do. I'm 2mil short of level 14 (and have the medals needed) so it's possible to progress if you live in the back end of nowhere like I do.

my nearest city is like that, I can walk for an hour and hack 100+ portals, but where I live its a 20 minute walk between portals, so it's bike-gressing or car-gressing. More annoyingly, the nearest portal to where I work is two miles away, I've submitted every interesting tree / lamppost / door / building / drain cover in the hope of getting one a bit nearer, but all have been denied :/

Guardian medal candidates are weird, I got my onyx with a church on a main road, got to 212 days before somebody bothered to stop and take it out, it was L5 and linked, hardly hidden my current longest held is at 302 days, and it's a pub It is off the beaten track, but has wifi it's basically pure luck nobody has found it and bothered to take it yet. I'm hoping to get it to 365 days.

Professor Moriarty posted:What's the best way to actually SEE where all the nearby portals are outside of your scanner range? The scanner only seems to show the 2 nearest ones, if even that at times. https://www.ingress.com/intel type in your postcode/zip/nearest town, then zoom in and out to see higher or lower level portals. it's a bit flaky on mobile, but fine on desktop.

Theres no science to them as far as I know, I guess you've just been unlucky and has the empty slots replicated, rather than any items. I have four with 95 items in each and went three days with no 'payout' so it can happen.

I just created a 1.4k field, and my "Now" tells me I have ~800 MU active, including my other portals. What gives? there's a lot of lag on the realtime stats, it'll probably show the right value after about 20 minutes.

Julio Cruz posted:You need to wait 130-odd days then rent yourself a boat. wouldn't be the first time I find that the level of caring about the Guardian badge depends on whether you have the 150 day badge or not My 385 day portal got taken a few weeks ago, I was annoyed only that it didn't get to 400 days :/As for activly hunting guardian portals, it's difficult to call - I scour the map local to me to find Lev1 portals that I've not yet visited, and make a note to detour if I'm passing to get another 'unique capture' - if this is someone guardian, then, well, too bad.

Roger Explosion posted:Has anyone ever had the game outright ignore your linking before? I was fielding and the game said--in the feed--a link was established and then nothing happened. No actual link showed up, no field was made, and it still ate my portal key. This would not have been so bad if said portal key wasn't for a portal 25 goddamned loving kilometers away, thus loving ruining the biggest loving field I ever loving planned. Happens a lot when the servers are busy, either the link will appear in a few minutes, or the key will magically re-appear in your inventory in a few hours.

Ratzap posted:I'm traveling to London for a vendor bennie tomorrow after having failed to come up with a good excuse not to have to go. I checked the intel map for Kings Cross station to the Marble arch area and changed my mind - green portals far and wide. I'm 40k or so from level 8 at the moment so by the time I make my leisurely way from the station to the venue I should have it in the bag. 450 bursters and 50 ultras ready to go There are approximately a trillion portals in London, and they all seem to swap sides daily. On the rare occasions I can persuade my work that I need to go to the big smoke, I take a few battery packs, do whatever work I need to do, then walk around / tube it for a few hours - hundreds of unique visits, and depending on smashy-ness captures too.

Probably old news, but recycling Power Cubes now gives the same amount of XM as using them, so instead of 'using' loads of L1 cubes, you can just recycle them all to get a quick XM boost. Plus if you do this while attacking a portal, it doesn't close the 'use burster' window neat! Also, the latest build teardown seems to indicate that some sort of 'super cube' is coming, another sponsored item. No real info on what it will do yest though.
