Ingress App Update 1.12.5 and 2k Item Limit
We got new version of Ingress Android App v1.12.5 and on Google Play Store it stated this as whats new:
Version 1.12.5
* Many bug fixes.
* Inventory size is now capped.
* UI fixes.
* Performance improvements.
And this is huge update, most because capped inventory size. This will force some players to use their items or to drop them so someone from their fraction can pick them up. Mike McMahon posted the screenshot on G+ with message warning with the exact limit:
The limit is 2000 items, and you can thank Dr. Lynton-Wolfe for it:
Lynton-Wolfe: Alternatively we could limit the the number of XM objects that can be accumulated, to avoid the formation of localized anomalies. We could tell agents to voluntarily purge their inventories.
You can also thank ZC that your inventory is not purged down to 2k items:
Lynton-Wolfe: I could alter scanner behavior or purge excess inventories of XM objects. That might help.
Calvin: Keep that as an option, but not yet.
So you are asking yourself how would someone have that much items. And yeah there is a way, rumor has it that some players have more than 5000 items. And they acquired it by using multi hack cheat so they would have a far more items than other regular players. Question is did Niantic labs left multi hack option on purpose…
All items? Media, keys, bursters, shields and resonators limited to 2000
all together?
Yeah, total item limit is 2000!
I have not been able to do a multi-hack since Epiphany night. Are there still people who can?
Trying to figure out how i can drop over 500 lvl 1 resonators… That would be at least 1500 clicks to drop them all…
Until then, i cannot acquire any new portal keys or other items…
it would be nice if there was an online system in place to manage inventory.
My 2 cents…
It wasn’t cheating…You didn’t have to do anything to modify your tab/phone/game.
Now you punish those who did figure it out. And BTW, you did fix this issue in 1.04 and 1.06 but decided to put it back in 1.081. Go figure!
You are in beta, I understand. But if you know people have this kind of inventory issue, why would you not put in an option for dropping certain amount of items? To drop 3000 items will take close to 4+ hours.
Oh and I still have over 8000 items and that doesn’t include my 750+ keys.
Why you make keys a part of inventory, I do not know. As they are the lifeforce of this game as it stands now.
