Ingress

[Doktor Howl]

It's really weird.  The Boston Enlightenment group has stopped using G+ to plan their raids, and have set up "invite only" websites.  It's kind of nuts.

It's kind of bullshit. I'm assuming that I will be permanently uninvited from any PNW Enlightenment activities because the Old Man is Resistance.

Or because you reek of non-compliance.  You create a vortex of chaos from which no productive results can escape.  Portals would ACTUALLY WORK, and your team members would be sucked into Dimension X, where the Electrical Gods would rent them out to rough trade.

Or maybe they're just wrecking a great game by being elitist, exclusionary fuckbags.

In Portland?  There's gonna be panic in the streets.

And then Portland turned inside out and vanished.  Efficiently.

With a tiny sound, almost like the smacking of lips.

If anyone else is still playing, they've temporarily changed the symbols into Pac Man.

I saw that this morning.  Slightly unnerving.

[Zenpatista]

I'm addicted to Ingress.... Well, it's only been 3 days and most of the time my phone has been charging or I've been trying to reboot it so the app will run. Around the university campus are a ton of green portals with a few blues fighting back. Out in the 'burbs there's a lot of blue. For now I'm hoping I can get by with my old android. However, the urge to get a new phone is starting. Anyway - fun game.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The Powers That Be have cut WAY back on how much boot I get from hacking portals, to the point where I'm finding it difficult to play. Maybe I'm supposed to be working on setting up mega-fields? That seems to be the way gameplay is going, but I don't have the time or resources to work on that level.

[Zenpatista]

It's an interesting game, but I can see how it gets difficult to play after a while. I don't mind walking more, but there's a limit to that. I would think, if anything, they'd give more loot to higher level players. Once you get to a certain level it seems players taper off their game time and decreasing resources might cost players. For me, for now, it's fun - as long as the app loads on my phone.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

i agree, I'm starting to see a law of diminishing returns with regards to loot. I think this might be a feature to help chill out those obsessive players who might grind a game like this to the point that new players are as helpless minnows in the wake of the giant level 10 whales

[LMNO]

I dunno.  I can get plenty of loot in about an hour of walking.  I sort of play it like a day of gathering/building, and a day of taking out fields.  It probably helps that I'm currently living in high-level occupied territory, so there's tons of L7 and L8 to farm.

I'm in a zone that is essentially a clusterfuck of peanuts and chumps.
