Wayfarer and Ingress Updates - Discussion

VPS has never been a part of Wayfarer. Scans have always been a part of what is the new Spatial, as is Scaniverse.

Hi @Grogyan,
Awesome question and thanks for including some of the history of what is now Wayfarer. I agree, the Ingress community has contributed significantly to the map. Forever grateful <3

In response to your question, that’s something we’re still working to solve and understand the complexity of that given the single map we know now will be going from 2 groups of map contributors to 1 group (Ingress Agents).

No idea yet, Scopely would need to add Pikmin comepletely to Wayfarer for that for me to keep both maps and be active in both.

We have several ambos who only have Ingress, I don’t know if they’d want to pick up another game

Thanks for asking this. I was just about to ask if us poor Pogo players would get an Intel style map moving forward.

players will have to take care of their own games

At long last a separation. Finally.

Keep the great questions coming!

  • IITC Map for Pokémon GO - unfortunately that is unknown at this time and will be up to Scopely to decide once the transition takes place. I’ll be sure to mention this as a request when it happens though. Great idea!
  • Correct, Ingress contributions won’t show up in Pokémon GO, Ingress, or Monster Hunter Now and vice versa
  • Re Pokémon GO nominations increasing is unknown and might not be determined until the dust settles.

When we have an issue with a Portal, we come here, such as rejected removal or restoration request.

With this forum now (I imagine) becoming only for Pokémon GO players who use Wayfarer, I wonder where Ingress players will go if they have issues in their new system as the Ingress forums shut off about a year ago.

Grateful unfortunately doesn’t cover the financial costs involved in bringing the wayspots across all games

Likely via the Niantic Spatial community, assuming Spatial doesnt spin up a new one

Will Ingress players who earned their upgrades and stacked them for whatever reason, be able to elect to transfer them to the new platform, or at least elect how many get moved across?

Holy crap, didnt think iitc wpuld get an official mention lol, usually niantic staff ignore its existence lmao

if the portals remain, what else do you expect? compensation has been 12 years of using the portals, and the time you’ve had the past few years benefiting from Overclocking plus badge progress for scanning. why do you think this announcement would lead to anything further?

Uh, doble trabajo tener que enviar las propuestas por separado para cada juego pero eso viene de la mano con la separación

Ahora bien, me voy mentalizando porque seguro será más lenta la aprobación de un nuevo PoI en Ingress. En mi comunidad quienes más califican son jugadores de Pokémon Go buscando nuevos PoIs en el juego :disappointed_face:

¿Volverá la época de esperar años por la aceptación/rechazo de una propuesta en ingress? Y tener que calificar 2 veces para que salgan en ambos lados :scream:

Can I trade my Upgrades for OPR Live ticks? :laughing:

HI @Grogyan,

My sincerest apologies this situation is stirring up these feelings. While I don’t have an answer for you, I can assure you I’ll share this with the team.

I need more points for my OPR Live badge :tired_face:

oh sweet, instant wings

I’ll take OPR Live ticks and return of Seer badge (with contributions so far on Ingress included) :eyes: :laughing:

I wonder if we will see Brian or any of the Ingress team also come in to the thread?
