As part of the split, Niantic are offering the option to sell one kidney for the option to get those much needed points. :zany_face:

It doesnā€™t even have to be my kidney? Iā€™ll be back shortly.

To my lawyers, the above is a joke

Great question! Iā€™ll make sure to add this to the pile of questions and get back to you.

Are there plans to maintain community review in a format similar to wayfarer on the Niantic Spatial (NS) side?

Will the 3 basic tenants of wayspot eligibility remain? Or do you see a fresh look at eligibility requirements for NS games?

Is the merger of this new system into the Scaniverse system being considered? Two birds one stone.

So many questions. Need time to gather them all.

From an Ingress or at least Niantic Spatial only perspective what changes updates would you like to see? (This question is not just for the current Niantic team seems like an interesting topic to ponder. May be outside the scope of this thread.)

By my rough estimates, Ingress players globally would be entitled to about $10k each

Hola @Nadie,

Gracias por la pregunta. No esperamos que vuelva a esa etapa donde tendrĆ­as que esperar aƱos para que reciba un aceptado o rechazado. Para que tu nominaciĆ³n aparezca en Scopely y Niantic Spatial, si, se tendrĆ­a que nominar en cada ambiente.

Imagine differing criteria so double submissions get accepted on one map not the other. Having to modify nominations to fit different criteria and reviewer bases. With the separate goals and motivations.

How much of a lead will we get approx. before the split? I have a few submissions on hold which I want to flesh out and push through before the databases diverge to make sure both sets get them.

Daft questions.

Niantic have, to my knowledge, not acknowledged they use the S2 Level 14/17/whatever matrix for Pogo inclusions. Whilst I get the abuse prevention, will there be any confirmation of this existance? And will / could this inclusion change after the split?

Will Ingress lose the 20m inclusion restriction after the split?

My prayers have finally been answered. I wholeheartedly applaud these developments.

I know some have been wondering about this since the level change for Ingress, so just wondering if a level change is still in the works for PoGo?

74

I just hope that Spatial doesnā€™t inherit the weird stuff that pogo uses.

Especially if the wayspots are not in Ingress currently.

Weā€™ve had so many good nominations blocked because of pogo imports from 3rd party databases and for all sorts of reasons.

Hopefully Spatial helps bring more portals to Ingress that would have been blocked otherwise because of pogo imports.

Hi @JustQuitNow,

Great questions! Let me give it a shot.

  • ā€œmaintain community review in a similar formatā€ - unknown at this time what itā€™ll look like and how similar would be to the current system
  • ā€œ3 basic tenants of wayspot eligibility remain?ā€ - unknown at this time for both sides
  • ā€œIs the merger of this new system into the Scaniverse system being considered?ā€ - Not at this time
  • ā€œwhat changes updates would you like to see?ā€ - haha iā€™ve been deep in the changes havenā€™t spent much time thinking beyond week to week so Iā€™ll have to take some time to thing about this :thinking:

Great question,
Once we know a firmer date weā€™ll be sure to share. Still unknown at this time but Iā€™d love to give you as much heads up as possible.

78

I donā€™t know if it has been said, but is making infinite nominations per day on ingress again concidered? i donā€™t have enough with 1 nomination a day to add everything when i go on my journeys.

Hih @DTrain2002 ,

The level change for PokƩmon GO will not happen before the transition. It will be up to Scopely post the transition.

Maybe itā€™s time to embrace it as an official part of Ingress?
Probably outside of the scope of this forum, but for so many years the Ingress community have been asking for a stable API to build our tools onā€¦ If Niantic canā€™t provide the tools, the community is willing to. Nobody is confused about the fact that all of the cool Ingress things are happening with the help of IITC, and not the stock intel mapā€¦
