Javid posted:E: someone posted this on g+ and it might explain some people's problems Would also mean you can hack at any speed you want as long as it's a fresh timer, but that might be correct. I've seen hacks fail at less than 35 and work at well over, but I always figured it was screwy GPS. It doesn't seem right, or maybe it's only one aspect of a more complicated system?

Coldbird posted:Wouldn't this mean that, say I get in my car and hack somebody's couch portal on the way out the neighborhood, then gun it and drive to a farm a few miles away at a hundred an hour. I get out of my car and try hacking - since the bubble won't get there for another few minutes or whatever, nothing should work. It does work, though, I've seen it (though that is an extreme example). I think there is more to it. I live in Chicago and hack portals while taking public transportation all the time. Only on some bus or train lines (those that have longer periods of going above 35mph) have I hit the speed cap. Once you hit the speed cap it takes 30min to cool down, but I think the bubbles themselves have a fairly short life-span. I'm guessing 30 to 60 seconds.

The bubble is fairly short lived, under I minute I think. It prevents hot lapping cluster portals.

So, I just got into this, and I have a quick question to ask: Is passcode chasing an act of futility? What I've read makes them seem like  and they are fully used up by the time someone posts them to a forum?

thehustler posted:Well then that is loving mad. Christ. A little over a year ago there was a megafield made over the US. We had someone basically say we need you to clear "X, Y, and Z links and please do not create anything new!" We had an inkling that that we were clearing for a megafield but nothing set in stone. Unfortunetnly the the links we had to clear were in Gardner, KS which at the time was a heavily fortified, heavily populated Resistence farm that it took a massive operation to get it down and then within an hour of knocking them down they were rebuilt  The megafield did go up but only lasted for about 20 minutes before the Omaha branch of it got destroyed.

So I've started playing this recently, hit level 3 today and I want to start coordinating with other local players. I know G+ seems to be the place to go, how do I actually start connecting with other faction teammates to take down tougher portals? I linked my profile and I scan faction chat but people don't seem to organize there.

People are absurdly paranoid about faction chat. Usually you have to jump through hoops to get into a g+ group or whatever. One group I had to meet someone in person first, the other one I had to fill out a form on a website and paste a verification code into faction comms. It's rifuckingdiculous. In both cases there were level requirements too. Just keep at it if you're set on it.

I'm just going to keep farming the portals nearby (to/from work and near day care) until I'm more established.

When I started, the locals saw my activity and asked me to email their gmail to get the Introduction group invite, where you post your Ingress profile for a hangout invite. Then you meet a lv8 to get into the op planning group. If your local group has good relations with the neighboring groups and you spend a lot of time in their area, they may skip the security stuff and simply let you in.

So I went to a local park this evening that housed two corners of a shard triangle that crosses most of the state, confident I had enough xmbs and cubes to take it down... and after about a half hour had managed to take out one corner because of poo poo data connection. Holy hell that sucked.

I drove an hour into the boonies (In NH this is really hard because you usually end up exiting the boonies by the time you go that far) to get to a portal that was anchor to about 8 layered fields. I accidentally went down some guys driveway and apparently blocked it while I took out the portal. He came home while I was doing this and we had a short awkward conversation about the game. Signal was okay but GPS lock was really hard to come by.

https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1072416 I'm a little curious about how many Ingress goons we have and where they're at, and who to coordinate with to fulfill my giant, penis-shaped field fantasies so I made a pushpin map. Pin a spot that relatively corresponds with your play area with your faction color and SA/Ingress username.

Wow, I remember your posts about how horrible the community was where you were playing and other problems but that doesn't sound like the players around here.

There are actual sneak photos and harvested Facebook pics of 'enemy' players in the group I'm in, along with where they live and work and what they drive. Meanwhile, "friendly" players just stonewalled me in faction chat when trying to get connected with the group initially. I had to, physically, chase someone across town to even find out there was a g+ group. Comparatively, in Portland they'll at least tell you where to go to get into a group if you ask. Maybe the enlightened group is less of a shitfest, not that that helps me any.

Get everyone to know each other, and with a friendly community we become acquainted and know who we can contact based on where they are and what they like to do. No leaders either,it's a game that everyone plays and anyone who wants to take initiative on an area, op, or whatever can do so. Distrust, rankings, and holding elite things above players heads make the game not fun.

Wow. I feel for you all that live in areas with a lovely player-base. Chicago is super friendly, both within Enlightened and cross-faction. Last week I went and decimated a Resistance field while on a walk with my dog. One of the Resistance folks was around at the tail end and all she said to me in Comm was "cute dog".

I was originally on resistance but switched to enlightened because of stuff going on. Enlightened is a lot more drama filled, so I went back to resistance. Nobody really chats on the G+ group. Enlightened has an extremely active groupme chat group where they're online and posting constantly and talking poo poo about the resistance players. Enlightened doesn't cheat but they make up for it by being really, really, into the game. I wouldn't complain if someone tried making new local groups for each side. edit: If I bothered to look at any of your screenshots, I would have recognized you were in the same area. I (BlueMilk) can hook you up with some gear and with leveling up if you ever want to show up in Ashland.

porktree posted:Wait - how do you change sides? I did the faster way of putting in the request to delete my account and then starting a new one with a different email address. The only benefit of doing it the slow way is that you get to keep using the same email address. Either way, you still start from scratch and have to pick a new name. Loucks posted:You create a new account. This is against the terms, but when changing sides takes forever it is what a lot of people do anyway because they don't want to wait however long it takes Niantic to get around to them. I thought it wasn't against the terms, at least as long as you aren't using both accounts at the same time. That's a big no no.

I believe you also get to keep your achievements when you switch sides, so for people obsessed with leveling past lv8, doing the slow process might be worth the wait vs just starting a new account. edit: Also, when I switched sides back in January, my (green) name was on the regional (blue) list of top agents until the cycle ended, so if you're trying to be subtle about switching, don't have any fields active when the switch occurs. That one rear end in a top hat in my area is hilariously paranoid. I had a portal that someone attacked, but didn't managed to do any damage to. I looked at their profile and saw that they were a lv1 with exactly 0 AP, meaning they had just joined. Even thought it was cross-faction, I try to be friendly, so I sent them a simple 'welcome to the game' message in comm. That one rear end in a top hat then sent me a bunch of messages accusing me of eavesdropping on enemy comm, because how else could I possibly have seen the 'new player' message. Dude needs to get a life. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Aug 13, 2014 |

One of the funnest things I ever did was ruin an OP because I hated the guy who ran it. I fed info to a 3rd party who contacted a Resistence player in my area and told her everything. I wasn't really playing at the time because of this guy so ruining his op and then seeing the tears run as they tried to figure out the mole was hilarious. Really they would've gotten wrecked regardless because a couple idiot E's decided to destroy every portal on their way to the op and it didn't take a genius to figure out which direction they were headed which was good because it gave me deniability :P
