Extendiality

Most likely we will see new levels in the Ingress game soon. As you know, currently there are 8 levels only and it is not so hard for a dedicated player to achieve L8. Also there are badges to get.

Now, new Scanner update has been dissected by enthusiasts and the following info revealed. Here you go: Ingress 9-16 levels for the mightiest Agents!

As you can see, not only AP needed to get a new “star”, but also badges should be earned. So, good luck on the war field! Small extra evidence — Agent Avatar now has small black sections on the inner circle (similar to those on the outer, which indicate player’s Level). Seems they will be filled in, if user achieves L9-L16.

I bet, Niantic has put clues into APK by purpose, knowing how players are well trained by all these Passcodes puzzles. And I wonder, how many L16 there are theoretically at the moment? If any, of course 🙂

The most exciting Ingress feature introduced recently is the Glyph game. I am sure, most of you have already tried playing it. For those, who just joined Ingress Enlightened or Resistance forces, here is a short explanation.

If you press and hold “HACK” button, then special screen pops up with dots. Then Glyphs start to flash and you have a limited time to repeat all these figures afterwards. The more Glyphs you do, the more extra items you get by hacking. Also, there is a special bonus if you are really fast.

Number of Glyphs depends on the level of the portal and I also noticed that complexity has a correlation with the portal ownership – your faction portals tend to have easier figures to guess.

After playing a while you gain experience and many Glyphs become familiar (moreover, they have different Ingress related meaning). So, in other words, you get your brain fit and memory trained. Nice idea, Niantic!
