Hey Colin, are you still continuing the Ingression Protips? I've got a tip regarding remote portal recharging. You can stack keys if you have a bunch to recharge, saves a lot of time rather than opening and closing them individually. Basically you go to your inventory, select 'portal keys', select a key to recharge, select 'recharge', but then go to 'ops' in the top right corner which will take you back to the portal keys listing in your inventory. Select another key to recharge, select 'ops' again, rinse and repeat until you've opened all the portals you want to recharge (haven't tested max number). Then recharge the last (top) key to recharge. Select 'ops' when you need to refill xm, select 'power cubes', select cube to recharge xm, select 'recycle' instead of 'use'. select the top left back arrow, and repeat until portal charged. Select 'done' on portal view, and back arrow to exit the key view, back arrow to exit the inventory. You will now see the second key in your stack. Continue until all portals in your stack are recharged. You can use this method to quickly recharge multiple portals. Cheers, DarthKratos.
Using 5 instead of 7 bursters is 28.5% fewer, not 40%. The max amount of deploys by a single player on a portal is 45. 8+7+6+7+5+5+4+4. When two people are deploying, each should start with 4 level 1s, otherwise there is wasted AP when one upgrades their own resonators to level 2.
It's great to see you again!! You're videos helped me so much on bettering myself when I first started playing. Thank you very much for all your hard work!
Glad to see you back! Love your videos and take note of all the tips you share. I'm sure you may be aware that you can now recycle power cubes for their actual xm value rather than the small amount given by recycling them before. As you can multi - recycle you can actually save a huge amount of time recycling to refill your xm tank...and make great use of some of those lower level power cubes (quick recycle 8 level one pc for 8000 etc). I hope that helps and I look forward to your next video! Agent @eyesonjason
Even though all these Ingression videos are about 2 years old, they still made me a lot more aware of the features of this game. I wish it would return. I guess I missed the good times when the game launched...
Hi Collin and thanks for your awesome series. Don't know if this has been already explained: When you are burst-spamming xmp's to destroy a portal (or a bunch of it, heh!), sometimes the "explosion" accumulates around you and fires a lot of xmp's at the same time by "groups" of shots due to lag. When this happens, sometimes the portal is already down but you have that "circles" of the xmp's still left to explode. When they blow, many times the portal is already down, so those xmp's are wasted without doing anything. If in that moment (when the portal is down but there are some xmp's left to explode (circles around you)) you can use the plane mode of your phone. This way you will cancel the "shots" and the xmp's will return to your inventory instead of wasting them. Not sure if the explanation was clear enough :/
Great to see you back!! And also great to see the Saskatchewan/Manitoba Canada Megafield in your background. :) My Tip 4 feedback: Much easier to get 45 resonator 1 player deploys on 1 portal by doing one slot at a time. IE. Deploy all 8 slots with R1's, then pick one slot and upgrade it sequentially all the way to 8. Then on the next slot, deploy sequentially all the way to 7, next slot increment as far as you can go to 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4. I count 45 deploys doing it this way. Do you actually get 46 with the method in the video instead of 45 my way? I think it must be 45.
+Ryan Goolevitch Actually, the method in the video is 44 deploys, not 41 or 46. (8+4+4+4+4+4+2+2+2+2+2+1+1+1+1+1+1). Ryan's method gets 45; a better method.
If no one knows this, you can Hold the "Recharge Button" to recharge the portal resonators more. Good for speed recharging a portal. Presently a L6 agent @AlfredNayacra
sometimes when you head to a portal and you're planning on doing some fields. but there are already existing links off of the portal. (when at the portal or look remotely with a key) you can look at the link lines to tell if they were ingoing and outgoing links. but it's reverse of what you would think it would be. outgoing links will actually look like they're coming to the portal. that way you can count how many links are already outgoing (of course max 8 with out mods) and know if you'll have enough out going links to do the fielding that you want to do. or if you will need to link to that portal (unlimited links in)
+Collin Williams Unfortunately in my case that's far from true... I always have too many lv5/7, but not enough lv1-4/6. I mostly farm on lv7 or if I have a lack of lv8 resos I drive to a lv8 farm which is further away. Probably I should start glyphing the portals when they are neutral and not when they are deployed. BTW I have an interesting thing for you for your next vid, how can I contact you?
This is lvl 7 agent narieloot. You did talk about capsules in the earlier ingression protips but if you could talk about the MUFG Capsule and how it works that would be great. thanks
Would be easier to deploy 8 L1 Resos, then take each reso slot and raise it one at a time to the max level available. Much less confusing and much faster. I posted a video 2 years ago or so on how this is done. A good tip regardless. \o
+Niko M It depends on what you're going for. Faster.. sure. Yours is best. Max deployment? No. If you do it 8x1, 4x2 on the 1's, then 4x 3's on the 2's, then 4*2's on the 1's, then 4x4's on the 3's, then 4x 3's on the 2's, then 2 5's on 2 4's, then 2 6's on those 2 5's, then 7 on 1 6, 8 that 7, then toss the 7 on the other 6. Then put 2 x 5's on another 2 4's, then 4 x 4's on the leftover 3's. 6 the 5's, then toss down those 5's on another 2 4's. Maximum reso deployment.
+hybby same number of Resonators deployed without the back and forth. It's all a wash in the end. I originally did it that was 2 years ago but adjusted after it became too confusing to explain.
Now (for tip 4) when I first started playing 2 years ago you couldn't upgrade your own stuff and have it count towards your builder badge. When did that change?
Excellent. Thanks Collin. I have two quick questions. #1 if you know a person name but it is not in the com or on a portal anywhere (nowhere to click on there name), how can you find their stats buy using the com with out them seeing there name show up? #2 i have started 4 different people playing ingress, by sending them invites, All four have trained and are playing. I still do not have any numbers in my recruiter badge. It still shows locked with no recruits? Uggggg aggravating. :)
Collin, I am glad to see that you are back with a new video. I also post videos of my creation mostly being parody music videos. Furthermore, I am making an Ingress themed parody music video to post on youtube that is a parody of...WAITING FOR TONIGHT by Jennifer Lopez as mine is INGRESSING TONIGHT by Krypta Knight...thanks for all the Ingress tips Hulk from one Enlightened agent to another...keep up the good work
keep it up dude! your videos are so useful (y) but i want to ask you a question i mentioned you on the scanner but i found you in lvl7!! How is that and you appear on intel in lvl16!!
+M Naïm I use Capitol i's instead of L's since someone already had the name. so my name is actually IncredibIeHuIk (take it into a word program and change fonts to a serif font to see the difference)
little tip for guardian attempts. for enlightened Jarvis a portal that's blue or resistance ada a green, it's still a capture, however the guardian hunters that scrub comms can't find it in that way, good luck to whom who haven't received onyx! agent name Mardukthemartyr
The deploy/upgrade strategy sounds more applicable in areas of low portal density, right? I mean it sounds like a waste of time, making 46 deploys on a single portal, when you have a decent amount of portals in your town (and a fairly active opposing faction).
Surprised you haven't talked about the glyphs that come in pairs. Or have you? Glyphing is much easier if you aim at remembering the words, and the words that are connected are often represented by similar glyphs. The obvious example is the Truth and Lie pair or the More and Less pair, the more interesting one is the Mind + Body + Soul = Human equation. Some lists of such connected glyphs can be found here: decodeingress.me/2015/05/07/golros-guide-glyphing/, www.ingress.tv/glyphs.html, www.faxmelior.info/ingress/IngressGlyphMemorizationGuide.htm. Each has some glyph pairs that the others don't, and the last one also has some neat mnemonics, which have helped me learn the words.
A great way to gaing AP fast is to work toguether with a enemy agent. U capture a portal and let he nok it donw. than u nok his portal donk and capture it back and keep doinh it. U can maximize the ap gaing by iten deploing just 1 Lv1 ressonator or U can win AP faster deploing 8 ressonators every time u capture the portal. This is a great way to free your inventory of those LV1 ressonators wile making 500AP per portal capture + 125AP per ressonator deployed (I guess is 125) PLUSS all the AP for noking the portal donw (75AP per ressonator destroyed + poral neutralized) My agent nick is Sleir564

I miss the beta 😂. I had a good time doing meetups in Chicago.
Welcome back Collin , greetings from Egypt :)
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR MONTHS COLIN!!! :D Thanks fr comign back
SO exited for the new videos. Just put a smile on my face

@AlfredNayacra
Here is an actual video I made back in August to show how to deploy 45 resonators. ruclips.net/video/xnzXMalCR7M/видео.html

after initiating a recharge you can hold down the recharge button and it will recharge the resonators faster - known as hybridking on Ingress
Well the overdeploying-tipps are kind of genius, but I always have a giant lack of low level resos (lv1-4).
if you hack every single portal you drive by your biggest problem will be having too many resos
+Collin Williams Unfortunately in my case that's far from true... I always have too many lv5/7, but not enough lv1-4/6. I mostly farm on lv7 or if I have a lack of lv8 resos I drive to a lv8 farm which is further away. Probably I should start glyphing the portals when they are neutral and not when they are deployed.

+Adrian Schwizgebel (Leicester77) feel free to add me on Google Plus and shoot me a hangout or just post it here

+Collin Williams Uh yeah I just recycled like 300 and boy do I feel dumb now.
This is lvl 7 agent narieloot. You did talk about capsules in the earlier ingression protips but if you could talk about the MUFG Capsule and how it works that would be great. thanks
I'm part of the resistance but I still like this person.
+wyattster297 he said the series is non faction biased haha, also go blue!
that maximum deploying tip was confusing AF but it's still a pretty awesome tip! THANKS!!
4k for deploying resonators looked at my roomate and was like we've been playing wrong
"Welcome to season 2 with one episode
I hit the Recursion and watch all your vids again now, just 4 fun. I laughed my a** off at 5:16 :D
Would be easier to deploy 8 L1 Resos, then take each reso slot and raise it one at a time to the max level available. Much less confusing and much faster. I posted a video 2 years ago or so on how this is done. A good tip regardless. \o

If you do it 8x1, 4x2 on the 1's, then 4x 3's on the 2's, then 4*2's on the 1's, then 4x4's on the 3's, then 4x 3's on the 2's, then 2 5's on 2 4's, then 2 6's on those 2 5's, then 7 on 1 6, 8 that 7, then toss the 7 on the other 6.

+hybby same number of Resonators deployed without the back and forth. It's all a wash in the end. I originally did it that was 2 years ago but adjusted after it became too confusing to explain.
wow. thats some great ways to grind
On the 2 agent multi deploy ... there is more AP possible if player deploys 4 level 1s instead of 1 player deploying all of them.
Pretty sure I heard Pokemon in there at the end. Looking forward to those videos.
Now (for tip 4) when I first started playing 2 years ago you couldn't upgrade your own stuff and have it count towards your builder badge. When did that change?

+Jim Bailey Well for the recruiter badge ur friends must atleast reach level 3 :)
+Paulius Veleckas Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll check to see what level they are. Thanks again. :)
how many AP this increased deploying will bring when I do it alone ?
missed u!
+Alex Greader Aww I missed you too! :)
Collin Williams, you're back! :'D
Actually, I just started playing like a month ago, so it wasn't that long without a new video, but still. :p

My apologies
No apology at all needed. People submitting tips is the only thing that keeps the Protips section of the series alive so I thank you very much!
+Collin Williams most welcome have been a watcher for quite some time now.
basically for max deployment, with 2 people. if it has your name on it, dont upgrade it. if it doesn't, raise it one level :)

I’m stuck in my game. Green group attacked me . I’m in level two I can’t see anything in my map .
The only Enlightened member I'll ever care about. Well, besides Eric Fullerton, Brent Copeland, and Wes Wilson. Those guys are legit.
+stevensays1 You Should care about Andrew Krug and Matilde Tusberti too. They're ENL that work for Niantic as community managers.
how to take that recruiter badge? can anyone help ???
Surprised you haven't talked about the glyphs that come in pairs. Or have you?

Let's go resistance
wow, the deploy tip is money. i assumed it wouldnt count since you dont get ap for upgrading your own resonators, but wow. thanks
2 of 7 is not 40% almost 29%, but useful to save
D: can't play ingress cuz my tablet's garger is not working
I lost my portals too

Uh, going from 7 bursters to 5 bursters is a decrease of 28.6%. Going from 5 to 7 would be an increase of 40%.
yeah I worded it wrong people "use 40% more bursters than necessary"
Ayy my comment made it into a video :P
Utah high schools are overall, pathetic. Especially granite district
not singko it's dos :)
Why so loooonngg....
