Hello @DineshValor,

Thanks for letting us know. We’ve gone ahead and escalated this to the team and will get back to you when we know more. Thanks in advanced for your patience when we look for a fix.

Wouldn’t it make more sense if the Ingress Account interpreted the player as ex…level 16 previously + Recursing (reset to level 1+) so it translates in the code that this particular player has hit lvl 7 so in the background it registers this as player level 23 so they would retain there lvl 10+ access needed to access wayfarer.

And before I put my foot in it,I understand if you have recursed more than this example.

It’s most likely the current two updates since December as there was tweaks made to new player onboarding so I read in the patch notes.

Edit:- just saw the announcement that the requirement changed wayfarer access to lvl 8 and above,so I’m curious if you hit level 8 if it will unlock you again as the game currently only sees you as a non recursed agent.

When recursing was introduced six years ago, we were promised that we wouldn’t lose any privileges by recursing. You can still recharge portals the L16 distance away, create missions, nominate and edit wayspots.

And that was true until a few days ago. My guess is that the code used to check for 40,000,000 or more AP, and was changed to check level instead.

@DineshValor Can you create missions? Can you still charge your farthest key?

As far as I always knew it was level 10 for a reason to prevent everyone getting onto the system that wasn’t getting an understanding of what to look for as a new wayspot.

I had way more access points on my account than I actually had level badges and while my level sat at level 7 I was around a full level 9 in access points but the badges were my restriction,as soon as I hit the required badge then the leveling up started. And the hard work to reach level 10. (I like a challenge that required effort)

Hopefully this drop in access level won’t bring in more bad actors and fake accounts which were already present in my local area Comms.

Yep, I can create mission, recharge keys, even can edit portal photo, location, title, or description.
