Reverting Temporary Changes
Effective 31 March, AP for Portal recharging will return to its original value of 10 AP, down from 65 AP.
Each quarter, we will evaluate the following temporary changes added in early 2020 to determine their impacts on gameplay while considering real world circumstances:
- Number of Level 7 Resonators deployed per Portal by Level 7+ Agents return to its original 1 deploy count, down from 2 deploys per Portal
- Portal cooldown between hacks to be adjusted up from 90 seconds
Agents will be given at least two weeks’ notice of planned changes made to the temporary changes above.
