Ingress Prime

As someone who has played this game for years with my spouse, using both the redacted app and the prime app, it makes me very sad to say it but it is time to end this game. When Ingress was new, it was about traveling and exploring and meeting people. We had drinks with opposing agents in random corners of the world, and it was a blast. But Niantic has no system in place, no plan to prevent blatant cheating, and an incredibly poor history of communication with the player base. They take actions like recently suspending the accounts of hundreds of long-time players, for unknown reasons, with no prior notice or ability to appeal. If your account can be deleted or suspended for weeks or more at any time, with no warning and no explanation of what you did wrong, there’s really no incentive to invest time or money in planning game-related activities with your family. That’s especially true because a significant subset of ingress players have stopped playing and instead spend their time abusing in-game comms and the broken reporting process in order to harass and bully opposing players. We used to encourage all our friends to try ingress - now we advise them to avoid it like the plague. Take up another game with clear rules and better community outreach, and without the seven year history of hostility, and don’t get yourself or your family invested in this mess.

Being the framework of PoGo, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The story narrative is uninteresting. The graphics and in-game chat are it’s best features. However, it plays like a never ending game of capture the flag with the strategy of checkers. Game play ranges from cumbersome to confusing. A lot of flashy graphics but no aspects of this hot mess makes it “fun” to play.

How did you make it WORSE?! Oh wait...Niantic. Mystery solved.

So I have been playing this game for 3 years now. I recently got banned because sometime when I’m at work it says no location even when I’m on the WiFi. Well Niantic recently banned me for that. I’m really disappointed with them considering I have spoofers take out my portals and they don’t get banned. I would recommend waiting tell they can figure out who cheats and who doesn’t before playing ingress prime. If your a older player you can play scanner redacted which is more stable than prime but slower to play.

Now it’s just buggy and laggy on a 7+... For some reason even with all the sound settings off I get bursted noises through Bluetooth. The scanner doesn’t track location properly and the data doesn’t seem to refresh quickly. Occasionally it will get stuck yet know that your moving.

I have tried several times to use Prime. Easy things become difficult. For example, I can’t see where unclaimed portals are around me. So unless I’m in a familiar area, I actually miss white portals. Once Redacted is removed, I might be forced to ‘retire.’ Love the game, but Prime is just so frustrating.

I downloaded the app but it won’t even start, as it says I need the updated version. Well, I literally just downloaded the updated version. When I click “on” it takes me to the App Store which conforms I have the most recent version. Disappointed, as I was hoping to use this!

The app is fun great game to play when it works the scanner fails on the regular sometimes you can’t place resonators and sometimes it glitches out and you can’t find anything on the map and then you game is total bricked It’s a really fun game to play and get you see more of your town and adjacent towns etc but they really need to address some of the problems plaguing this great game

Total garbage app

Can you make the gear colors match the Redacted version please? Prime would be so much easier to navigate.
