Anyone play?

I tried it when it first came out but no one in my area did if it's what I'm thinking of.

That's mainly what I play these days. It's much more exciting than scroll attack, scroll attack.

I started about a week ago. It is OK. I play it more when I leave my neighborhood. Only a couple of portals near me.

It really is very similar to Pokemon go. Just more for adults lol, ie no kiddie UI lol. U drive around and collect things at portals. But with that game you're either in the green or blue team. U collect weapons and armor and try to take over the other teams portals.

Pokeman go and ingress were developed by Niantic. I have played ingress for about 3 years. The nice part is that I can take my daughter right to where the pokeman show up using my ingress maps.

Same here! Been using my ingress map to get to all the stops for my nephews. So much easier

Ingress is not a game... It's my life.

THERE was a time when it was 100% TW.

Now I'm an INGRESS tragic. Level 15 and working hard on my Level 16. Made dozens of friends in game and RL. Walked nearly 2300km dropped 20kg and seen some things I would have never have seen.

Difficult to master.

What's the one thing I love about ingress?

Once you get up a few levels.... You can take on the big boys and there is NO advantage with people who pay to play.

I still like Turf Wars; been climbing the boards for years. I should start punching again.

I like ingress too; kind of stuck at level 11 for a long while.

Tried Global Supremacy for a while but haven't opened the app in more than a year.

Downloaded Pokemon Go the day it came out; captured 1 Pokemon then stopped.

Then why not use it for hacks on pOkeman?

Ingress is nit similar to Pokemon GO, Pokemon GO is similar to Ingress. Ingress came out earlier than Pokemon GO by the same developer.

There are similarities between ingress and POGO.

Pogo is about catching Pokemon and taking over gyms.

Ingress is about fighting over EVERY portal and strategically connecting them together in triangular shaped grids.

Regardless of your level.... There is something you can all do.

However in pogo... If your low level..... It's a struggle fighting for gyms.

This is why pogo has had a steep user drop off.

Not entirely true. POGO user drop off is because Niantic refused to go after cheaters and removed bugged features instead of fixing them because they wanted to focus on releasing to more countries. However, the features they removed made the game impossible to play without cheating. Now, they are still not fixing those bugs but are bamning cheaters who are only cheating because the game is unplayable with its core features removed.

As a lower level player, I can tell you I compete quite well against higher lvl players. You just have to know what pokemon types are good against what other types. It isn't the same as in the video games. Just like it isn't the same betweem the tcg and the video games.

I highly recommend the youtube channel TrainerTips. You will learn about hidden IV's, etc.

Kind of played it to death, nothing left for me to achieve.
Green team dominates in our area thanks to the efforts of myself and our posse.
I picked green, everyone else got to benefit of it basically.

People who play in car in either PoGo or Ingress suck.
It defies the point of the game.
I get immense pleasure in beating them and making them waste their time 😀
3 level 30s in car having wasted half an hour thanks to some level 28 on a bike...suck it!
