Another 600k AP / 20 days rush to lvl8 and i'll slow down a bit.
Once at L8, you're kinda like a new green on zero, you have access to all the items.
Lvls 9 to 16 don't give any advantages ingame, it just improves your status in the local communities.
Which is good if you want to organize big ops.

gratz. I watched as overnight an area that was almost completely green became 100% blue. There were about 15 to 20 portals, one or two of them unclaimed, a few more blue, and the rest level 8+ green portals. Next day, look at the intel map again, it's all blue.

edit: just looked at it again, and it's almost all white...guessing the resonators went left uncharged? I've read that people use the area as an AP farm, so maybe there's an agreement between the factions not to hold it tight...or the people who captured it were just visiting the area....meh

To create a L8 portal you need, i think, 8 L8+ players, as you can only place one L8 resonator per portal.
To capture it, well i've never tried myself but i'm guessing you need at least a few L8+ players or a huge amount of busters.

There is a 'virus' atm that's making the portals decay in 5 days, if not recharged.
Some say the virus was invented to give new iPhone players a way to catch up with Android players by capturing portals more easily.

well, I downloaded, and have been playing ingress a lot today:p I recently completed training, and plan tomorrow to walk to some new portals. I guess you could say I'm hooked :p (I joined the enlightened :) )

See, if my brother hadn't thrown my phone in a swimming pool I would still be able to play this…
It was fun

3600 km walked? Nice going C! :)
(That'd be about ~8km a day?)
Too bad my battery dies so fast, tried it a few times, but can't get really into it :/

Great to hear from you c!

I want to keep doing ingress, but working 12 hour days coupled with low portal density in this town makes it difficult :/

Everyone playing Ingress has an external battery, or two ;-)

My hometown is not that interesting either. About 60 portals in total, but only 20 or so in the center.
'Luckily' i pass by two bigger cities on my daily commute.

I have an external...not just for ingress :p

and lucky, 60 portals in total. I think at most there are 20 total portals between Hobbs and Lovington. I'll be glad when my 2 years is up and I have the experience needed to be taken seriously by recruiters back in California.
