INGRESS

Still in beta really, just like at the start of this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/IngressPrimeFeedback

 

Prime still in beta more like alpha to me, can't seem to do anything in the game at the moment, which means frogs are taking over my home town :-(

Go back to the original, Scanner Redacted. I'm sticking with that.

I hear people who randomly live near a load of portals that are all high level and have loads of free time can get way more stuff than other people

 

Now you're just being facetious and you know it, but then again it is you..

 

It's one thing that people who play more will be able to do more, that's inherent to any interactive media. A painter who paints for a living will probably create more paintings than a painter who has to work a regular full-time job too. That's not the issue.

The issue is that devs want you to buy into the MTX, so the game will invariably end up balanced in such a manner that tries to incentivise non-paying players to cough up some cash. Usually this is manifested in game balance, resulting in a 'grindy' game if you're not regularly buying the boosts/upgrades/whatever. The b.s. about 'player choice' is always a lie.

Well, it's possible, but it's not certain, might as well give them a chance, and then quit. It's already a grindy game, difference is you can visit a million places in the world while you're pointlessly making triangles.

 

Still learning the new scanner, ack, new and different, seems like it's designed for larger phones, most of the input being near the bottom. I'm sure I'll get used to it, should be a new beta in a day or 2. At least this one loads on my phone unlike beta-1

Lol I can't even login on the Prime app, says I don't have an account. Can login on [REDACTED] though.

[Garacesh]

So I finally got my account working on Prime.. Except it's not used my [email protected] email address that I've used since day one and, despite that being the email address I have connected under, has decided to log me in as [email protected] and has decided I'm a new player.

I give up.

 

In other news, Niantic have a new AR game in the works, this one Harry Potter flavoured.

Weird, as they're the same account. My gmail account is older than the googlemail stupidity. Did you not switch it back to gmail.com?

I know they're the same, that's my point. I didn't bother changing it because everything was already using the googlemail address. Plus it just sounds more professional than gmail.

Nothing I can think of explains why Niantic would not use the email address I gave it (well, the email address associated with the Google account on the device)

 

When I sign it it still brings up my full address, but once logged in it gives me my short address and asks me to pick an agent name (and I can't pick the same name, tried it.)

 

No big loss. Would've been nice to see what the game's like but from what I hear it's still pretty dead these days.

[mavhc]

Still pretty alive most places I go
