Ingress Thoughts
2013-02-03 |
|
I've been playing Ingress since December 29th. So, just over a month. In that time I've managed to level-up to Level 6. This hasn't been easy as the Enlightened in the Toledo area are about as active as the post season Detroit Lions. Here are the things that I believe could make the game more interesting, more engaging, and easier to play.
Things to make the game harder
The scanner should disallow drive-by hacking. As it stands, if I can time it right, I can hack a portal as I drive past it at 40 mph.
There should be a penalty for running out of XM. Perhaps the scanner could lose inventory items and scatter them about the region? Perhaps the scanner could become disabled for a longer period of time.
You should be able to store XM in packages for easy retrieval. This way, when you're at work, for example, and someone attacks one of your portals, you have some back-up XM so that you can keep defending the portal.
In addition to shields and resonators, you should be able to set up turrets to help protect a portal. These turrets could leach additional XM from the attacker making it more difficult to capture a portal. The turrets should be indistinguishable from a resonator. This way, you never know how much XM will be zapped from you when you attack a portal.
Things to make the game easier
You should be able to map routes for road trips based on portal locations
You should be able to package inventory items together and drop a bundle so that sharing items is easier
It should not require 3 clicks to drop an item
You should be able to view your inventory from the web site\
When viewing the intel page, portals for which you have a key should display differently.
When viewing the intel page, portals for which you have MULTIPLE keys should display differently
When you hack a portal, the items you receive should be based on what you need. I have PLENTY of very-common shields. Please don't give me more!
The intel web site should show you all items received when you enter a passcode
Things to make you play the game differently
You should get extra AP and extra inventory if the scanner detects that you've been walking or riding a bike between portal hacks
You should get more AP for capturing portals of equal/higher level to your own level
You should get considerably less AP for capturing a portal that is of a lower level than your own
