Is there a reason for 16hrs notice? Most folks won’t see this until it’s too late.

Welp, good thing all my pending stuff already got through before this. Guess now we’ll have to wayfarer blind until we hopefully get a replacement map :crossed_fingers:

Hoping we eventually come out ahead from all this, but for now there’s certainly going to be more than a few drawbacks.

Mod edit: Removed unnecessary comment from this post.

I agree with you, @smantz0rZ, and it’s unfortunate this announcement doesn’t seem to be getting pushed much outside of here. But guessing that means things are truly speeding ahead on the full split of companies.

The alternative was probably severing the map when Ingress nominations were shut off. I guess we should be happy for the last few weeks we got.

The quickest possible review time is ~22 hours after submission. 16 hours’ notice means that it’s already too late to make any new nominations for Ingress

A quick note for everyone: please try to keep the discussion constructive and respectful. It’s understandable that changes like this bring strong opinions, but taking shots at other games or communities isn’t helpful. We all contribute to Wayfarer in different ways, and maintaining a respectful tone benefits everyone involved. Thanks!

Thanks again to all the great Ingress Agents that built and maintained the map well before PoGO was even conceived. It made an enormous difference for millions of people.

And I just submitted a new nomination that would be eligible for Ingress but not PoGo


Ah phooey

Also, just in case, remember to keep respectful with Tintino and the rest of the Team. This is very highly probably not their decission but they have to show their faces at the moment of the announcement. It’s okay to feel frustrated but it is not their fault how things were decided.

Although it was no longer possible for ingress to submit new Wayspots, edit the title, description, or location of existing Wayspots, or suggest images, we were able to report the removal of Wayspots. However, I have not yet received a response to the removal report I submitted at this time. Is this handled by Wayfarer, Ingress, or both?

Oh well

It’s a shame that Ingress haven’t posted this on their news site/social media channels.

Will be some confused agents that don’t visit the Wayfarer forums.

Shared it on r/Ingress so that the Ingress community chats pick it up though

Please, in this latest map update it would be great if all possible POIs were added, even those that are less than 20 meters from existing ones. Make it possible please, that it will now be more difficult for portals to be approved in a short time.

What do we do if we have nominations that are stuck in queue despite being upgraded? Is it possible to get a push on these so that they have a chance of resolving before the sync deadline? It’s frustrating if I can’t even force it into voting with an upgrade.

Thank you for all of your work with Wayfarer so far.
