Thoughts on the nature of the scanner app.
This mostly stems from my endeavour to acquire the obsidian Guardian badge and reach level 8.
Hacking a portal controlled by a rival faction will gain you 100 AP, while a portal controlled by your own faction won’t raise any AP for hacking and after that there’s 10 AP for each resonator recharged and 75 AP for every resonator upgraded.
More AP can be gained from Glyph Hacking or moding but there are only 4 mod slots per portal and interest in Glyph Hacking seems to vary.
Mindfields are a strong generator of AP, but I feel they have negative consequences to the ebb and flow if they are abused, as no field can be formed inside one. Also if a mindfield is reliant on one specific portal to hold it together then it will fall either by resonator decay or the actions of an opposing faction.
Despite being on opposite sides the ENL and the RES appear to need each other. This was illustrated clearly to me at a NL-1331E event where ENL players needed RES players to take down a target portal so each player could complete the event specific mission.
In the game the ebb and flow of portals between factions keeps the game from becoming stagnant. I’m not sure how it will apply to the endgame of the story. These are my thoughts.
