🌟 HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY, INGRESS! 🌟

Today marks twelve cycles around the XM sun for our beloved Scanner. What started as a mysterious signal from Niantic has evolved into a global phenomenon that has transformed the way we see and interact with our world.

From the first hesitant downloads in 2012, to the vibrant global community of 2024, through countless links created, fields covering continents, friendships forged across borders, Anomaly battles that became legends, alliances that stood the test of time.
We've witnessed the whispers of the Shapers and N'zeer, the echoes of #13MAGNUS, the mysteries of the Exogenous, the birth of the Prime Scanner, the dawn of new XM constructs, the evolution of the Portal Network.

And yet, here we are.
Still hacking.
Still linking.
Still fielding.
Still discovering.
Still Resisting and Enlightening 🔸🔸

To every Agent who has ever deployed a resonator, hacked a Portal, added a Shield, created a Link, sprinted to claim a Portal, played in the rain, braved the snow, endured the heat, made a friend, told their story...
Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey. ❤️

Here's to 12 more years of Ingress, and many more to come...
Remember:
"The world around you is not what it seems"

🚨 Zello advises their users to reset their password as a precaution after a probable security breach!

The management of the walkie-talkie app used by many Ingress players as a tool during Operations and Live Events has started issuing warnings to its users to reset their password if their account was created before November 2nd 2024.

This, if confirmed, would mark the second security breach on Zello systems in 4 years, the last one having happened in August 2020.

As always in situations like this one, they recommend to also be mindful if you have used the same password for other websites, as it is possible for attackers to use the exfiltrated credentials on other services.

The anniversary celebrations for Year 12 have ended! Niantic has taken a snapshot of your agent profile and will distribute the Year 12 anniversary medal according to your level shortly.

As a reminder, these are the requirements for each tier:

- Bronze: L3
- Silver: L9
- Gold: L13
- Platinum: L15
- Onyx: L16 or Recursed

Note: In the past, the anniversary badges have been distributed in waves, sorted by tiers. It is likely that it'll be the same this year, starting with Onyx and going down towards the lower tiers. If you see that others have already gotten their higher tiered medal, don't worry, it'll just take a bit until it reaches you. Niantic should start and finish distribution in the next 24 hours, if past years are any indication.

After a bug in yesterdays rollout of the Y13 Y12 medal which resulted in some eligible Agent not receiving it, Niantic is currently in the process of re-issuing the medal after fixing the bug. If you have been affected you should be credited the anniversary medal soon!

The rewards for the Wayfarer Edit Challenge are currently being distributed! An important note about the OPR Live badge tick:

The +1 for OPR Live is NOT automatically added to your account. You MUST redeem the passcodes from the mail to recieve the badge tick.

This also means that if you don't redeem the passcodes until January 31th, after which the codes expire, you will lose the badge tick.

Currently, Agents that also play Pokemon GO and who qualify for Wayfarer there should have gotten their rewards per mail. If you are playing Ingress only then the email with the rewards are still pending, so don't worry if you haven't received yours yet.

Niantic has released a new update to Ingress, v2.155.1.

The change log lists no notable modifications in this version, save for an update to the Niantic platform and some not-better-specified bugfixes.

Agents who already received the update are reporting that, just like with Pokémon Go, the "Report Invalid Portal" menu has been updated to allow the input of a supporting statement for Niantic! For example, if you use Scaniverse you can add a link to a scan which shows the status of the reported portal to the text box.

The update is rolling out to Agents at the time of writing this post.

Niantic announced an unscheduled meetup with NL-1331 in California, USA! 🇺🇸

The XM Research Vehicle will be at Hennessey's Tavern in Laguna Beach on December 7th from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM for an afternoon of fun with local Ingress team members during the Field Test: Shards event! If you are nearby, we recommend you don't miss this chance, but remember: the driver carries no XM!

The event denoscription reads:
"There is no Field Test: Shards medal, but you'll help our Ingress team test new server infrastructure to support Shards at future events."


In addition, you'll also be able to attend a Mission Day as well as a First Saturday event! Check out the RSVP page below for more information.

A review of Ingress in 2024 by Brian Rose

In a reflective note, the producer of Ingress shared how 2024 transformed the game through Daily Bounties and Global Campaigns, in an attempt to drive daily play by veterans while helping new Agents learn the mechanics of Ingress. The team's focus on accessible daily tasks proved successful in making the game more approachable while maintaining depth.

Looking ahead, Dec 7 marks the testing of new XM Shard server infrastructure, while scanner optimizations planned to ship soon, promise faster startup times. Rose emphasized that while technical improvements enable events, it's the agent community that truly powers Ingress, closing with hopes for creating more memories together.

🗓 Keep track of the new year with this awesome Ingress-themed Calendar!

We are thrilled to share the latest creation from our dear friend @MrChics! As 2025 approaches, they've created an unofficial Ingress Calendar, picturing some of the most beautiful Portals all around the global Portal Network, with submissions coming from Agents of the Ingress Community.

As sometimes shipping a finished product can be expensive, MrChics decided to make this project accessible by releasing the PDF files for the calendar for free, so that everyone can print it freely at home or with your local vendors.
Of course, if you'd like, you can decide to donate something to the creator, to help him continue his invaluable work for our community! Paypal is accepted to antonio.chico{at}gmail.com!

You may find the high-resolution version of the calendar at this link. We'll also post the "light" version in the comments of this post.

A big thank you to Agent MrChics for his great work and to all Agents who contributed to this calendar by sharing their pictures! 💚💙

We are receiving reports of a particular e-mail being sent out to some Ingress Agents.

In these e-mail, the recipient is invited to sign up to the Wayfarer Explorer - VPS Activator Pilot, described as an "opportunity to elevate your scanning and exploring experiences".
Chosen Agents, who have been selected by their "outstanding track record in scanning" and "as a reward to their contributions to the Wayfarer community", will be granted additional rights to activate VPS points of interest making them interactable via the AR features of Niantic games.

By scouring the sign-up form, we can observe that participants will be expected to submit 10 scans for each Activation Request filed, Niantic will not check the amount of scans submitted and Participants are expected to follow this requirement in good faith. Participants who do not meet this requirement can be removed from the Pilot at Niantic's discretion.

We are looking into more information about the VPS Activator Pilot and we'll keep you updated as more details emerge.
Many thanks to Agents @arda0413 and @boffeliten!
