I’m surprised how fast these portal respawn. I was in Moab Utah recently which was largely covered with red portals and doesn’t seem to have any local players. A resistance player and me seemed to get there on the same day and cleared out the entire town. A month later it’s like we were never there. I checked out Moab on the intel map and it’s back to being covered in red.
I’ll Intel map it now - sounds like a great place to get your purifier points up… From what I hear, the more you interact with red portals, the more lively they become. So perhaps you left some around the edges that had some resonators knocked off? Last time I checked Bury in the UK (which is where I was) it was mostly grey but the red was starting to spread again.
besides the point you mention that the red faction is a good opponent for places where some players are playing alone. do you think the red faction is also there to avoid 10000 killometer long links? links that cut like everything. and making it much harder to span a triangle over a complete town like london, paris, new york. or all across the country like.
Possibly - I think maybe they’re there to make those kinds of fields trickier and more effort so there is a call for organising teams of people to work together to produce something impressive. I don’t think Niantic worry too much nowadays about larger fields as it’s now possible to play underneath them.
I took a two years hiatus from ingress, now i see this red faction…. Can i join them? So they did this to prevent people to build massive fields solo? Also what happened to the quantum capsules? I used to get extra keys and cubes from these
Red faction is just PvE at the moment and so there isn’t the option to join them I’m afraid. Maybe it was to make it trickier to make huge fields solo? It might also be there to encourage people to visit new places and to give them opposition while there. Quantums were replaced with Kinetic Capsules - they say they might introduce a key program for these to help out. Current consensus is that the hypercube program is ridiculously good… however they are available from the shop so might be a way of cashing in… they are available to hack normally too. Welcome back from your rest! Anomaly season soon…
Being disabled I wish I could play on pc... I know it's against the rules but honestly I'd play like I where in a car/bike. Any advice on android emulators working with ingress would be appreciated 😊.
I’ve no experience with them at all I’m afraid. We did have an electric car team at the last anomaly I went to which worked out really well for a fast response unit. I definitely can see the attraction.

love this update. its the only way for me to work on the Purifier medal in my small town.
Yeah we have little to smash here either. If ever we get a visit it’s a race for the portals.
I wish I had a bunch off red portals in my area.
I have a few towns nearby that spawn them regularly and I have to travel through for work. They add up gradually…
@@LessThanJessLTJ I got a bunch of Ap today from your videos. Thanks
Nice! Thanks for saying so - I appreciate it.
It was fun for the first 14 days, then it started appearing in closed areas dooming our local community chances of ever winning MU cycle again.
Yeah when they take over PITA portals or pay-walled portals they become a nuisance… annoyingly, they’ve also stopped decaying too.
Ha, i keep seeing your username on the activites tab, name ringed a bell. 😂
Yeah still pushing for the Liberator medal at the moment - as many captures as possible…
@@LessThanJessLTJ I picked up ingress again lately with the username ShadowBall272, 1 month in lvl7.
A very good start after a month - XM bar should be pretty decent by now then.
once I clear a red field, I shooted the fields away, and before picking things up, I would hack the portal, for the chance of having one more key.
Good advice! I occasionally remembered to do that but wasn’t being as particular as I could have been.

The main issue is running out of resonators and bursters
Thankfully they drop some of each and we have kinetic capsules!
True

Ist there an app or website where you can find an agent profile by typing their name?
Not that I know of. Easiest way is to @ them in game on comma and then click on them afterwards.
@@LessThanJessLTJ Great idea, thanks!
Is ingress a game or not im 12
Yes it’s a game.
Thx
