    I live in a city in germany which is completly infected with MACHINA. It's like cancer, and I am the one fighting it. There aren't many players in my city. Maybe like 10 or something and they don't seem that active so I have to take things into my own hands. Because of this I actually want to play the game, since it gives me a goal.

      I really enjoy playing in heavy Machina areas - it’s quick due to all the items they drop and most of the time you can get away with tap hacking as there are lots of keys. That and my Purifier medal is a huge way off completion… Happy bursting!

    I just had the Trial of my life . Trying to knock a Machina Spider out in Colliers Wood / Mitcham UK/GB
    I smashed the radials , and when I was going for the main , it went up to Level 4 from 3 and threw two new links up in front of me .
    I had to knock a new one nearby out . Then go for the main , and then another brisk and uncomfortable walk to Mitcham to knock out the last new one .
    I'm exhausted 😩

      Fascinating - I wonder if the fact that you were attacking caused it to spread to other portals. Or, you might have been very unfortunate in that it was due to spread when you were attacking (which at first inspection looks like there’s a chance of happening at 10 hour intervals). Or, perhaps the higher the level, the different the behaviour - level 4 seems to be the highest at the moment, but I don’t doubt that’s where it stops.
      Anyhow, nice work!

      @@LessThanJessLTJ Maybe it was time . But then maybe because I knocked out all the outside red radial portals . The main suddenly did'nt have to feed anything any energy and then decided . Oh I'm gonna go up another level 😆
      As to if the evil portals come up inside field networks I don't know and spread .
      But so far early days the appear to come up outside field networks in largely uncaptured areas .
      But very strangely they are throwing out links to other uprising Red Ports .
      The red links passing under ENL or RES links and fields .
      I just uploaded myself .
      What a day , I'm not the best of health right now either . But I still forced myself to eradicate the new threat . Although I fear it won't last long until it rears it's ugly head again somewhere else !

      I quite like the idea of not being fed lots of information by Niantic in this case - I like the surprise and how we have to learn the characteristics - makes for some great research opportunities. I just wonder about the possibility of a new virus.
      I’ll have to have a look at your video.

    I'm looking forward to visiting Moab Utah in about a week. It appears that there aren't very many people who play there and I've been watching the number of red portals expanding there. It will be interesting to see how much that grows in the next week

      @@LessThanJessLTJ I guess they will show up and disappear periodically.
      It would be funny, if "unknown" would delete some portals after they burned out, if Niantic knows that these are fake portals.
      But that would be too much effort for Niantic.

    • @LessThanJessLTJ
      @LessThanJessLTJ  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah that’d be a nice trick if a portal is reported as fake and accepted. Be pretty galling to those that created them…

      @@LessThanJessLTJ It would be cool if people could rescue these portals by interacting with them. Otherwise Niantic should delete them.

      @LessThanJessLTJ  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You mean the fake ones? I think there’s something amazing about taking a walk and finding an unexpected POI on the horizon and getting to explore it. (Also, I think it’s not in Niantic’s interest to delete the genuine ones with their priceless database of POIs across the planet.)

      Difficult to get MU? It certainly is. I suppose it’s trying to make it more of a challenge like when there were more players. I quite enjoy the PVE though…
