It's impossible to maintain local walking distance routes because there are multiple groups of people who spend hours every night driving around the area clearing faction spots. I don't love the game enough to waste time and gas in a caravan with strangers. To some degree having stuff destroyed is good since you get the most AP from building things. It can be disheartening seeing the fields you spent a couple of hours building get destroyed in under a day. Around me there are several areas inaccessible by car so I try to put my stronger portals there. | ||

Sadly my phone's screen is too busted up for me to play it now, with much of the screen missing, and since I can't rotate it I can't read most of the messages displayed | ||

- In my area there is less than 10% resistance. I feel outgunned. Is that normal? - Just now someone destroyed all the stuff I did over the past 5 hours within 10 minutes. Bot? - How does fighting really work? I can fire XMP bursters, but they only do 1% damage. I managed to take down 3 portals but it took like 20 minutes just standing there firing XMP until they were down. Is that really what it takes? | ||

I managed to take down 3 portals but it took like 20 minutes just standing there firing XMP until they were down. Is that really what it takes? some areas just have insane dominance, but this is good because you get AP (aka xp) from hacking enemy portals only and not friendly ones, friendly ones are only good for linking (which does give sick AP tho) and items. some people do gps cheating by installing apps that can make them fake their location, this is just a dbag move tho but it's possible you faced one of those. if you're low level though, (basically anything below 8) all your portals are super weak and easily taken down. it really doesn't take much to take down a portal once you hit level 8, unless the portal is one of those godmode portals with 8 level8 resos, a ton of shields and a ton of LINKS, links make the portals even more buff. fighting as low level also sux, you have to take forever if you want to bring down a portal that's above your level, once you get to level 5 the bursters start dealing at least a little bit of dmg. as low lvl you can increase your dmg a bit by standing on top of the resonators themselves (basically doing a walk around the portal) and not aiming to be perfectly in the center. even if being in the center seems like the most reasonable thing at first. | ||

There's a level 8 enemy who controls a lot of portals, with only one resonator each. Unfortunately the resos are level 7 so I can't take them down for now The good news is that there were a lot of untaken portals close to each other and I was able to take and even link some of them :DBut I see the level 8 guy didn't link his portals at all. Is linking really needed? Or useful at all? I also added some level 1 resos on another guy's portal to link it to mine, I hope he doesn't mind | ||

I am still somewhat confused but it's super fun. My city is also covered in Portals everywhere I go so always something to do. How can you team up with someone? Is it just attacking the same portal together or can you actually form a gang or something? I have something like an Ingress date tomorrow with a fellow L3. | ||

How can you team up with someone? Is it just attacking the same portal together or can you actually form a gang or something? I have something like an Ingress date tomorrow with a fellow L3. yeah, you can attack together, and then upgrade portals together. once you start putting down higher level resos, there's a limit on how many you can put down by yourself on a single portal. for example, once you hit level 5 you can only put down 2x level 5 resos on a single portal by yourself. for level 8, you can only put down a single lvl8 reso on a portal (this can be circumvented with viruses, but that's a different story). so to have a super full level 8x8 portal, you'd need a large group of 8 people that all are level 8. MODS aka portal shields etc. also have a limit of 2 slots per user, so if you move around with a friend you can put down all 4 shields for example as opposed to just 2. one important thing that took me a while to learn is that the spacing of the resonators is quite important. if you stand close on top of the portal when deploying resos they don't space out and create a 'campfire'. but if you move away from the portal to the edge and put down resonators, they space perfectly. way harder to hit for the opposing faction. also try holding down the finger on stuff like HACK and XMP FIRE and cool things will happen! | ||
