What are XM Anomalies and how are they won? I put this together to help Agents learn the basics.

I saw some coarse intel about the upcoming Shōnin Anomaly on Feb 21... I used that to help inform these pages. Don't have much info beyond what's in here... Hopefully more details emerge soon.

Good luck next weekend.

  1. Thanks H. Richard Loeb​.
    Take care as always

  2. Anyone is able to ask us how they are won.

    We do it all the time.

  3. It's important to note that relative importance of cells, volatiles, fields, and links changes for each anomaly. We rely on the XM corporate researchers to measure and model anomalies, and their research usually remains proprietary until a few days out.

  4. H. Richard Loeb​​ also another question regarding XM anamolies. Is there a change in consequences in how things are being play by Klue or Hank or any other company. Or is just to saviour that winning point? I thought winning an anamoly had consequences in outside world regarding XM .. Can anyone answer this question?

  5. Nikolas Moore​ first One who says Calvinball wins. That's sooo simple, Niko... 😂

  6. I always took it that mu at connected cells were measured at the beginning of the specified checkpoint and at the end of the checkpoint, biggest mu+ difference wins Nikolas Moore​​​​, if I recall that is how mu at cellls worked but I'd wait till official word from Ingress​ or NIA Ops​

  7. Robert Vin I think the jury's still out on that... I'll tell you what I think, and I don't know that there's scientific consensus yet.

    Anomalies seem to be moments where our future is placed on a pivot. There are two branches into the future. The XM activity and the pull between the Enlightened and the Resistance causes one reality to manifest. The other one is never realized.

    How do they happen? We don't know all the reasons yet. Sometimes they appear to be caused by single individuals, sometimes it's something else. The first XM Anomaly after we learned about XM at Niantic was connected to Hank Johnson. Did he consciously cause it to happen? I don't think so, but somehow, he was the center of it. During #Helios, the Anomalies were caused by the Portals reacting to the virus Devra Bogdanovich unleashed from the CDC. 

    I think XM Anomalies have been happening for thousands, maybe tens of thousands of years. Only now, with the Scanner, the ability to control our future depends on the Agents.

  8. H. Richard Loeb​ how do we know that the that branch that doesn't happen in this dimension cannot manifest in another? I haven't seems any documents refuting or implying that is the case.

  9. Why does it all center on 4 precise moments (measurements) during the anomaly and not all of the time within the approximate 5 hours? It creates a "wildly flailing" few minutes, instead of the intelligent and strategic battle that an anomaly should be.

  10. Just out of curiosity, John Voegtlin​, what would you suggest. I'd love to see a more continuous battle myself too, but I'm at a loss to know how we could make that happen.

  11. David Timothy​ same stuff as they score now, but every capture, link, field, etc. would count, with maybe bonus points for holding it for a longer period of time. I dunno. Something that actually reflects overall "control" during the anomaly time period.

  12. Absolutely stellar guide to the rules for this series.  Glad to see some changes to increase competition and awareness.

  13. For connected cells it used to be the highest score at the last checkpoint during the anomaly.

    For example if the cycle started on Wednesday  07h00 and the final anomaly measurement window was Saturday 17h00 the connected score cycle would be the average of all the checkpoints from Wednessay 12h to Saturday 15h  (because the next cp at 20h would be after the closing).

    It also used to be the average score, not the delta that counted.

    According to the article however it is now only the delta during the anomaly itself that counts?? How is this done given that the anomaly time will probably not align with a checkpoint?

  14. #calvinball  early.
    #calvinball  often.
    Always be #calvinball

  15. Martin Fuzzey, I think it was global Delta before checkpoints existed, we dealt with it then, somehow?

  16. New volatile rules? :O - up to 2 km outside a cluster?! (or has this always been the case?)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I hope that the volatiles are never 2km away from the clusters again.  It instigates cargressing rather than an on-foot adventure.  You miss too much of a beautiful city sitting inside of a vehicle.

  18. looking forward to smashing up the place, or at least taking some fields down.

  19. H. Richard Loeb Has anything changed about the upcoming Persepolis event that would need updating?

  20. looking forward to working on intel for persepolis
