Are there. . . . . any Ingress players out there. www.ingress.com/If not you should pick it up on your android device - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress This is a cool GPS by Google. Check the links above to get more of a feel and better description of the game. If you do pick it up and need an invite to the game I have 12 invites just sitting on my account not doing anything. Send me your email and I can send you an invite. If you do play the game what faction are you with?? I'm on the Resistance side but I don't judge.

@hal fastest way to get AP (Action Point, not Attack Point) and leveling up is create as many links and CFs (control field). Don't forget to hack to get items. Happy hacking, agent.

What are these blue dots all over me? I think I have to collect 1000?
Also I work in a historic district of town will there be many portals there?

Enlightened is green, Resistance is blue. If you find anything blue, just destroy it. LOL. Hacking opponent's portals (R) will get you 100 AP (and items as per your level). Most likely you'll get more items when hacking your own faction's portals. Here is AP list. Action: Access Points Hack a portal (Enemy): 100 AP Hack a portal (Neutral or Own Faction): 0 AP Recharge a Portal: 10 AP Place a resonator (new resonator): 125 AP Upgrade your resonator: 0 AP Upgrade another's resonator: 65 AP Capturing a portal (place the first resonator): 500 AP Complete a portal (place the eighth resonator): 250 AP Link two portals: 313 AP Establish a control field: 1250 AP Apply mod shield: 125 AP Destroy a resonator: 75 AP Destroy a link: 187 AP Destroy a control field: 750 AP Before you get to level 5 (L5) agent, it's better to find someone from the same faction to accompany you. It feels better when firing with XMP L5 (X5) than X4 or lower. Oh, and you can train your digi while waiting for 5mnt cool down time between hacks

You mean XM (exotic matters) to fill top bar? Yes, you need it as energy to play (deploy resonators, hack, fire XMP, etc). With higher level you'll get bigger XM capacity.
L1 = 3000 XM L2 = 4000 XM L3 = 5000 XM L4 = 6000 XM L5 = 7000 XM L6 = 8000 XM L7 = 9000 XM L8 = 10000 XM
You can collect XM you find on the way ( there are XMs around portal which will spawn), or recycle items (items with higher level give more XM), or use powercube.

Right now hack all portals no matter what their colors are. Collect items specially reso and portal keys as many as you can. I'd be glad to accompany you if we are near. Find local Enlightened community, I'm sure they'll be very helpful to guide you.
Btw where do you live and what level are you now?

Oops that's too far. Sorry. Get 10K AP and you'll be L4 agent. As I said before, create as many links and control fields to gain AP faster. Basically, control field is a triangle formed by 3 portals and three links. You need destination one portal key to create one link. Here's a complete guide to learn about Ingress decodeingress.me/ingress-manual/What I like most is player needs to come to those places. I feel healthier because more walking to play. Your personal achievement will be counted as teamwork, and global cooperation sometimes needed.
